Though a great game in general, Immortal Redneck does suffer from some performance issues on Nintendo’s hybrid console. I understand visuals taking a hit for the title to run on the system, but there’s a noticeable difference in visual fidelity when compared to other versions of the game – especially in handheld mode. Blurriness is very noticeable when playing, especially when the system isn’t docked.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition comes packed with a ton of content to sink your teeth into. The game is overflowing with fan-service that any Zelda fan can appreciate. With impressive cinematics, smooth combat, and loads of bonus content, this is best Hyrule Warriors has ever been.

Brakes Are For Losers is like a toy you find in a Happy Meal. A cheap distraction good for a few minutes of entertainment. It’s not meant to be played on its own. Instead, it is at best the sort of game that you mess around with for ten minutes while cooling off between sessions with meatier games. BAFL is reasonably fun, but a novelty at best.

Light Fall is an interesting experiment, and it’s fun to play through for most of it. Unfortunately, the lack of content makes it hard to recommend a purchase, and the endgame is disappointing. I’ve got high hopes for future releases from the developer Bishop Games, and I’d love to see this mechanic again, but unfortunately, Light Fall is too simple in execution.

Tropical Freeze is pretty much as good as 2D platform games get. It’s not an easy game but rewards skill, and with checkpoints never too far away the difficulty is never soul-crushing. It may only be a remaster, rather than a brand new game, but when it’s as good as this, it’s very hard to be disappointed.

It’s the perfect game to take out and about with you and have a 5-10 minute blast on. It can get a little repetitive but in short bursts and playing across the various modes this is a cracking little game to have in your library. For less than thirteen dollars, Rogue Aces gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

Skies of Fury DX will surprise a lot of players, given a seemingly paradoxical situation where the game is simultaneously a mobile port and a polished, satisfying experience. Still, if repetition is an issue for you, then Skies of Fury is one of the worst games your money can buy. The amazing gameplay is the key here: if you enjoy that, and do not mind playing a handful of very similar missions over and over, then Skies of Fury DX will treat you well.

Clusterpuck 99’s bottom line is a sluggish, disappointing game. At its finest, Clusterpuck 99 is fun for a little bit, but your friends will be begging to play something, anything else long before you exhaust the game’s available stages and features.

Super Rocket Shootout is a fantastic little game, and it’s a perfect fit on the Switch. The title doesn’t drain the console’s battery at a fast rate, which means players can get longer play sessions on-the-go. Additionally, the action-platformer looks stellar on the system’s 6.2 inch screen. With the ability to get in short play sessions and still feel satisfied, portability of the Switch complements the game nicely.

Tesla Vs. Lovecraft is the type of game that someone comes up with, and thinks “this will never work.” The premise is ludicrous, and shouldn’t end up being a cohesive experience. Fortunately, this top-down shooter is a blast to play. It’s fast-paced, hectic, difficult, fun-to-play, and ultimately, rewarding. Tesla Vs. Lovecraft caught me off guard, and I’m glad to have played it.
