New mechanics and a change of paint don’t stop SteamWorld Quest from being just as satisfying, addictive, and well put together as its predecessors. The mix of card collecting, deck building, and RPG battling comes naturally, and the cast of fun characters that accompany that action left me smiling for hours on end. Despite a few issues with map design and clunky dungeon controls, SteamWorld Quest is a gem of a game, and a must-play for anyone with a Nintendo Switch.

Overall, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is wonderful on Switch. If you’re planning to play the game on TV, you should probably buy it for another console. However, if you’re willing to play the game held in your hands with headphones — the best way to play — then it’s a rewarding experience on Switch. Senua is a great character, and with the exception of God of War, Norse mythology has been relatively unexplored in gaming. While some gameplay elements left more to be desired, Senua’s journey is well worth seeing through on Switch.

Cuphead feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch. The boss battles are challenging, breathtaking, and most importantly, fun. I’m excited to see what Studio MDHR is planning next. The developer absolutely knocked it out of the park with this port. If you skipped Cuphead for Xbox One and PC, don’t miss out on this definitive portable version.

It’s extremely fair for what is ultimately a fun, Marvel vs. Capcom-lite clone. There is also future support ensured with more characters and skins. If you’re a fan of the Saban franchise, this is one of the better gaming experiences you’re going to get. But it’s hard not to wonder what could have been.

The Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster collection is an incredible package, and it comes to the Switch with virtually the same quality and improvements as every other release before it. The lack of speed-up options for battles and no Japanese language audio is a huge blow, but regardless, the ability to have this massive collection of JRPG goodness on the go is a treat that far outweighs those missing features.

Simply put, if you’re looking for depth and immersion in your VR experiences, it might be best to look elsewhere. But if you simply want to experience VR on a basic level for a relatively low price point, Labo VR would make a great fit.

As a console game on Nintendo Switch, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is a frustratingly monotonous, plodding, mindless game. Being skilled at hitting the A button at the right moment is more important than the cards you bring into a battle. There is absolutely no reason to pay $60 for this game, and I wouldn’t recommend spending more than $10 on it. Even then, Super Dragon Ball Heroes is strictly for Dragon Ball mega fans looking to have some fun with the series canon. Everyone else should stay far, far away.

If you want a mindless game that will give you an opportunity to just get lost and thought as you move the thumbsticks of your Joy-Con around without much care, then Feather is pretty decent. But, something this low on content gets stale pretty quickly, despite its beauty.A review code was provided by the publisher.

If you’re after a cheap little puzzler that you can easily beat in a few hours, then this is the game for you. I just wish the developer had put a bit more thought into the difficulty or added a fifth area with more challenging puzzles.

I greatly enjoyed my time with Paperbound Brawlers, and it will absolutely find a spot in my multiplayer rotation, which is getting harder and harder to do as the eShop lands more and more great titles. It’s no Towerfall, but it’s a solid platform fighter, and its tight gameplay, multiple modes, and unique traits do more than enough to justify a purchase for fans of the genre.
