Nintendo Switch
Check out our latest Nintendo Switch reviews.
The Garden Path is a labor of love for both developer carrotcake and the player. It targets for a specific audience that is accepting of a slower pace and a soft, cozy vibe.
An ode to the arcade hack-'n'-slash genre, Abathor offers an old-school experience, for better and worse.
Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is a game where charm meets challenge and a passion for Japanese culture is expressed with artistic flair.
Like a photo, The Star Named EOS is a fleeting moment in time. During its all-too-short playthrough, the game gives us so much to love: between the art, the story, and the puzzles, we can't choose just one highlight.
This version of Rogue is a faithful port of a game that is around 40 years old at this point.
By interweaving a heartwarming and inclusive story with addictive gameplay, Furniture & Mattress teaches us that puzzle games can be more than just a vehicle for making the cogs in your brain turn.
As a straight-up visual novel, this checks all the boxes with color and panache. It’s a good addition to the B-Project project by Mages, and good on PQube for localizing something with as narrow interest in the West as this.
Some of the stages in this collection don’t feel quite as refined as those found in Toree 3D or Toree 2, and the game’s arcade-like nature means it won’t hold your attention for hours and hours on end.
In terms of presentation, the pixel-art visuals do a fine job of conveying small details and atmosphere; the character design in particular is exquisite, and we love seeing the bespoke reload animations and the subtle breath emanating from your mouth.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition feels like a release schedule filler. While the multiplayer features are robust, they’re hardly innovative, and really it’s just a package of sliced-up classic games with a timer attached to them.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the absolute pinnacle of the series and despite being over five years old this 'impossible' Switch conversion does very little to degrade the experience.
Hot Lap Racing is too serious to be an arcade racer and its handling is too loose to be considered a serious simulation, but players looking for something that attempts to straddle a middle ground will get a kick out of its unique roster of cars.
Ultimately, the best way to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is in exceedingly short bursts. As a “switch your brain off and button mash” kind of experience it works and in so closely emulating Hades it is inherently entertaining.
Let’s School is a business simulator dressed up as a school simulator, with a heavy focus on the business side of keeping a school operating and not much on the warm, fuzzy feeling that you might get from education and helping kids reach their goals.
Darkest Dungeon 2 may not be the sequel that ardent fans of the original wanted it to be, but its unique approach to that hard-edged, brutal roguelike gameplay is compelling all the same.
With only a handful of new refinements, Princess Maker 2 Regeneration is most notable for bringing Gainax’s classic life simulator game to a wider audience than ever before.
Fading Afternoon is a very ambitious game that improves on Technos’ decades-old Kunio-kun formula in almost every way. It’s certainly the most accomplished of Yeo’s works to date, and impressive in its polish.
If you’re a fan of the anime, Spy x Anya: Operation Memories will feel like a relaxed, slice-of-life side-story, complete with wholesome, adorable moments and some fun interactions between the characters you love.
It is such a good thing that we finally have this masterpiece on our Switches, easily accessible and wonderfully translated.
A board game that absolutely everyone really can enjoy.
