Despite being a port of a 2002 GameCube game, Mr. Driller DrillLand feels, looks, and hangs with games as they are today. There are tons of depth to the core game, but add a ton of built-in variants that really change your approach and you've got an exemplary entry. The new difficulty setting is a great touch, too.

Ultimately, your preexisting feelings toward Star Wars Episode I: Racer will determine your experience with it. If you’re looking for a modern racing game with lots of options, multiplayer, and smooth visuals, this ain’t it. However, if you enjoyed the game on Nintendo 64, or have been wanting to play it since 1999, you’ll enjoy it on the Switch. It’s a clean game with few things to get in the way of a good time, with just enough of a spit shine to bring it into 2020.

Infliction: Extended Cut is a solid option for fans of first-person horror, but it's hard to shake the feeling of inferiority when compared to other offerings in the genre. It doesn't do much wrong, but Infliction feels derivative and more focus on the detective aspect would have served the game well in the end.

Ultimately, Knight Squad simply does not have the quality of gameplay to take full advantage of its impressive list of modes. A complete experience could have left a mark, but nobody will be knighting Knight Squad when all is said and done.

Ultimately, Burnout Paradise Remastered brings a strong open-world racing playground to Switch. The game holds up quite well — as many of us learned in 2018 upon the remaster’s initial release — and luckily, the smart port job means that you can play the game on Switch without any notable technical compromise.

Railway Empire – Nintendo Switch Edition is definitely a tycoon time-sucker. Seeing your profits go up as your trains steam and roll is satisfying, and watching a tiny bit of history play out is interesting if you’re into it. While this is not the most complex tycoon sim out there, it does have some harder mechanics for those seeking a challenge while also sill being accessible for anyone.

All in all, like with the companion Arcade collection, this is a high-quality collection of games, but the experience is brought down by some missing content and a high price tag.

All in all, though, Project Warlock is a reminder of the retro FPS with just a smidge of RPG elements thrown in. The title has a wonderful aesthetic, fantastic music, and enjoyable gameplay. While there are a number of little things that annoy me, it’s unique enough to get a recommendation. Buy it if you grew up loving Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, or especially Hexen.

This game is exactly what lifelong SpongeBob fan hoped it would be. For observant players, there are tons of nods to the show, and the humor and charm of SpongeBob shines through brilliantly. If you were to remove the SpongeBob license from it though, the game would be just "good enough." It's competently made but falls short of greatness. Ultimately, SpongeBob fanatics and hardcore platforming fans won't want to miss this release, but otherwise, you need not rush to get it.

Much like Digital Eclipse’s work on curious historical compilation SNK 40th, Namco Museum Archives 1 & 2 isn’t a celebratory set of awesome games that are all fun to play. It’s more of a historical document, a textbook meant to preserve an important time period in game history that slips further and further away from the collective memory.
