Ultimately, Immortals Fenyx Rising is not as hyper-polished an experience as Breath of the Wild, and its later story dungeons sometimes lack the imagination and tight design of its outstanding early dungeons. Nonetheless, the Ubisoft game succeeds at creating its own identity thanks to excellent and comedic use of Greek mythology.

Truck Driver isn't some revolutionary new title in the truck sim genre, and it's not trying to be one. For a console sim, and especially one for the Nintendo Switch, it looks good, runs well, and has a lot of hours' worth of content.

Tracks – Toybox Edition is just the type of game to sit down and have a hot drink with and let yourself go for a while. It’s like reading an easy book — just enough to capture your mind, but it makes you feel good and distracts you from everything else going on. Whether you’re older with fond memories of toy trains or intend to pick this up for a new, young player to have a virtual toy, Tracks is worth it just for its feel-good nature alone.

While it may not be the Need for Speed title that fans most wanted, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered does enough to satisfy series veterans. It works as a brilliant reminder that without the various gimmicks that the franchise has tacked on over the years, the simple premise of street racing and police chases is where the series shines best.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity does an excellent job as a prequel to Breath of the Wild. From having one of the best narratives in the Zelda series to delivering improved gameplay and more meaningful side content over the first Hyrule Warriors, everything is spot-on, even though the action is occasionally slowed down by a God-awful frame rate.

Overall, Pure Pool is a relaxing, challenging little sports title that’ll drag you in even if you’re not a heavy pool player. It’s perfectly accessible to anyone who’s new to the sport, but also challenging enough for more advanced players to stay engaged as they strike their way through each match. At only $15, it’s worth the pickup.

Cake Bash is sweet and tasty all-out multiplayer mayhem, even if it lacks a little depth. There’s enough variety in the mini games to keep you playing, especially in Get Tasty mode. However, we wish that unlocking mini games and stages in Recipe mode were more clearly laid out.

Though I still think it’s a bit strange to put Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory on Nintendo Switch, given that there are currently no plans to bring others in the franchise over, there’s almost no better home for it. The short bursts of gameplay mesh well with the pick-up-and-play nature of Switch.

Desperate Struggle is a great action game. It has some fantastic one-liners, the end boss is a sight to behold, and there are a lot of cool moments peppered throughout. If you fully analyze the good and bad, it’s no better or worse than No More Heroes. Play them both back to back while awaiting No More Heroes III.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin succeeds at offering both an exploration-based beat ’em up adventure and a relaxing life-sim experience. The combat may not be perfect and the difficulty feels uneven at times, but the addicting gameplay loop and charming world more than make up for it.
