Nintendo Switch Game Reviews - Page 4
Unicorn Overlord seems allergic to risk-taking, and it makes for a safe and enjoyable product that fails to introduce anything new. So when I was given just a passable game, I couldn’t help but be let down.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island Review
Shiren's latest adventure proves that game sequels can benefit just as much from what they remove as well as what they add.

Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story Review
Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is something most would now term a “cozy game”, being a light simulation game that’s largely relaxing and not too stressful. Its gameplay and story can feel pretty mediocre, reminding me of childhood favorites but never as entertaining.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Review
The Dragon Quest Monsters series makes a great return on Nintendo Switch, but in regards to its story it does very little to properly honor the legacy of the game it takes inspiration from.

Eastward Octopia is a fun little distraction, that doesn't stray too far from the usual farming sim formula. Changes to certain important side jobs like fishing and mining help to elevate it, but the lack of constant progress mid-way really drags the experience down.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Review
The three games of the Apollo Justice "trilogy" are well worth the read, even if they aren't an ideal starting point for the series.

Another Code: Recollection Review
Nintendo and Arc System Works remake of the Nintendo DS and Wii cult classics successfully recreates Another Code for a new generation.

While Wandering Sword may appear to be an imitation at first glance, this entertaining Wuxia-style adventure is one of the most unique RPGs I've ever played, despite stumbles in localization and polish.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed Review
Monolith Soft's standalone prologue to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 offers a satisfying conclusion to the company's last decade of RPGs.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Review
Gamefreak's latest DLC improves the game in some ways, while not in the ways that would matter the most.

Silent Hope is a charming, short action RPG that will scratch the itch of those looking for a low stakes, loot-based hack-n-slash.

In Stars and Time is a thought-provoking RPG about life and family. What if you could spend the rest of eternity with your friends? What if you could spend the rest of eternity with your friends? What if you could spend the rest of eternity —

This brand new remake of the 1996 classic recaptures a lot of what made the original game great while infusing it with modern updates that will be great for new players but may turn off fans of the original.

Persona 5 Tactica delivers a solid tactical RPG, that lands just shy of greatness

Star Ocean The Second Story R Review
Star Ocean: The Second Story R has brought a cult classic into a new era. It’s been thoughtfully retooled, but it’s still packed with all the heart and soul of the original. Graphically, it’s gorgeous, and the new quests and features range from fair to fabulous. It’s one of my favorite video games in even finer form.

Just in time for Halloween, Little Goody Two Shoes takes players on a macabre jaunt through a not-so-friendly forest.

Front Mission 2: Remake Review
A rough localization and some familiarly frustrating RNG-related issues bog it down, but Front Mission 2: Remake is probably worth the headaches overall.
by Quinton O'Connor on 25 October, 2023
Despite the narrative not fully coming together in the end, as well as some repetitive gameplay structure, Crymachina manages to be a compelling RPG. Regardless of its uneven nature and short duration, I think it may leave a lasting impression on me - at least a little bit.

This turn-based horror RPG took its sweet time to full release, but it was well worth it with a captivating gameplay loop, a compelling battle system, and a stunningly beautiful visual aesthetic.

Detective Pikachu Returns Review
The case of Detective Pikachu has never been fully closed, but now Detective Pikachu Returns, this time to the Nintendo Switch. I enjoyed my time with Detective Pikachu Returns, nonetheless, Detective Pikachu Returns just isn’t a very good game.

Long Gone Days is a project that’s been in the works for many years. With grating hand holding, but a decent story and grounded characters, Long Gone Days is a good choice for those interested in a narrative-focused RPG.

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster Review
While this remaster might not be to the quality that the Baten Kaitos series deserves, it still is a lovely way to play and revisit these classics after so long.
by Scott White on 29 September, 2023
Fate/Samurai Remnant takes advantage of a new, grounded setting, a fresh cast of characters, and a gripping narrative to serve as both an approachable gateway to Fate for newbies and a potent fan service vehicle for veterans.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai Review
A disappointing game adaptation for one of the best Dragon Quest spin-off series that possesses major structural and gameplay shortcomings.

Everhood Eternity Edition Review
Everhood just wasn’t as thought-provoking as the subtitle “An Ineffable Tale of the Inexpressible Divine Moments of Truth” might suggest. While I found some enjoyment in the later part of the game, it didn’t hit all the right notes for me.
