Little Dragons Cafe combines so many genres of video games, it’s tough to compare it to any other style of game. It’s an experience that demands the player’s consistent attention in one particular location of the map, but also one that boasts a vast world ripe for exploration. Players must be careful about leaving the cafe for too long, yet ingredients run out incredibly quickly.

I was really hard on the game for having a broken system. Even with the patch, I still can’t shake what I initially had played. I was simply hoping for a more enjoyable experience. It feels more like something that you would find on Early Access or a concept, not a full-fledged release.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a game worth picking up if you have someone you can play with locally. The game is not only fun and fulfilling, but I genuinely think it improved communication between my partner and me. Although I wish the latter levels introduced new modules, the game still does a good job introducing new hazards and variations to keep adrenaline running until the end of the game.

Zombie is a perfect fit for the Switch. It’s something that feels more fun to experience on the go instead of playing at home. The game is easy to pick up but can be difficult if you’re trying to get all three stars. While not great, it’s an enjoyable way to kill some time. It’s a nice palette cleanser from all of the AAA games on the market at the moment. If you’re into short experiences and casual games that you can have fun with a few minutes at a time, I, Zombie is worth checking out.

This is the quintessential video game for the Switch. People who travel often should buy Flat Heroes. If you like challenging gameplay, buy Flat Heroes. If playing with friends is your ideal way to experience a game, buy Flat Heroes. What I’m trying to say is that Flat Heroes is a game that all Switch owners should have in their library. It’s a fantastic experience that I will be playing for months to come.

Overcooked 2 is something of a perfect sequel. It takes what the original did well, cleans it up, and then adds a few new elements. The puzzles are well balanced and, unlike the previous game, you can actually complete it on your own. It’s still a game that is best played with friends, and fortunately, these friends can be either on the sofa next to you or online this time around.

Jumping from planet to planet was fun, but got dizzying after a while and I had to stop playing for a few minutes. Outside of those two things, Robonauts is one of the most fun games I have ever played on the Switch. It is very accessible, vibrant, and great for gamers of all skill sets. Also, its character designs are really fascinating and, in some cases, adorable at the same time.

All in all, Pool Panic is a unique experience, though not for everybody. If you enjoy puzzle games packed with content, it may be worth your time. I never felt the desire to go back through and complete all the challenges for each stage–just wanted to get through to see what was next. Pool Panic is a fun and crazy game hampered by sometimes inaccurate or finicky controls and a lack of camera manipulation.

All things considered, Void Space Racing definitely lives up to its name. It really does feel like a space flight sim, and there aren’t many of them out there. I would actually like to see the devs at SONKA expand upon this concept with a fully-fledged exploration sim since the mechanics felt so nice. Still, the high level of challenge that these realistic frictionless mechanics brings cannot be understated.

From an aesthetic and button layout perspective, Code of Princess EX is really good. If its story was more layered, its characters were more fleshed out, and you could split the Joy-Con, this would have easily been one of the top games of the year. Unfortunately, they are not, and you cannot.
