It’s easy to see that Mages really took a lot of pride in crafting a quality remake here, since every little detail shines through. If you’re at all curious to see what these games are about, you owe it to yourself to give at least one of them a look.

When you set aside the little performance issues on Nintendo Switch and the lack of some quality-of-life additions, Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is still an excellent dungeon crawler with tons of demons to experiment with and several different endings for hardcore players to find.

Despite its limitations, SnowRunner on Switch can rightfully be declared as a “late but great” kind of port. This is a rare occasion where Switch owners will feel their patience has been respected. Considering the complexity of SnowRunner‘s simulation, foliage-dense open maps, and high-quality exterior and interior models, the fact that this is all somehow running on a 7-inch tablet with 2015 hardware is simply amazing to me.

Though it remains technically imperfect and may not justify its price tag for all players, it provides enough attention to detail to remind us of why we fell in love with Pokémon to begin with. New Pokémon Snap is a welcome return for the spin-off series and one that Pokémon fans shouldn’t skip.

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is a fun, clever little experience that anyone will enjoy. Aside from a moment at the end, the puzzles are smart without being too difficult. The writing is spot-on and well-balanced, and everything can be wrapped up in a single sitting, making it a great title for a long travel day. There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is certainly one of the best games I’ve played so far this year, and I encourage you to check it out.

World Splitter is a great puzzle platformer with a unique gameplay mechanic for solving perplexing challenges. With 60 unique levels to play, the game’s difficulty is quite diverse as a result, offering the player a ton of replayablity through extra challenges.

Overall, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a fun ride, albeit a short one. You can get through the whole main campaign within a few hours. However, it’s worth it for the fun dialogue, interesting story, adorable characters, and ability to tear up financial documents. There’s a lot of surreal Gen Z humor here in all the best ways.

With enjoyable sim gameplay, an engaging element combat system, and excellent boss fights, Smelter is a game with a lot of good pieces across 12-15 hours of play. Unfortunately, it never becomes more than the whole of its parts. The platforming level design feels a bit unremarkable, and the Trials ruin the pacing. Still, if you love ActRaiser or Mega Man X, there’s enough to make Smelter worth recommending.

Pac-Man 99 is destined to become your latest addiction. Whether it’s one match or ten matches in the same session, this is a pure pick-up-and-play title. The legendary Pac-Man gameplay is presented with a modern twist that is sure to leave fans happy. While the gameplay mechanics could have been explained better and the offline modes shouldn’t have been locked behind a paywall, Pac-Man 99 is a fantastic reason to keep booting up your Switch. It’s only been two weeks, and I can’t imagine my Switch without Pac-Man 99 installed.
