I get why people are tired of Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed, but if you drop the baggage, this is a good game. The quiet tranquility of ancient rural Japan is an experience you can't find anywhere else (Ghosts of are a different animal). It gives BOTW vibes. The stealth is great. Don't listen to the haters. This is a solid gaming experience.

This is a special game. We need to see more creativity and originality like this in the industry. Stop what you're doing and play this.

It's among the all-time greats. Still amazing if you already played BOTW and absolutely mind-blowing if you haven't. I like the opening of BOTW better, but once the world opens up, TOTK has so much more to do.

Disappointed. The controls are clumsy for interacting with things. It breaks the immersion. After a few hours of gameplay, I got fed up and stopped. They're designed for mouse & keyboard, but no support for Switch 2.

Shows it’s age but an excellent classic. The Switch 2 version looks and performs amazingly. The atmosphere is as good as you’ll find in any. New game today. But the missions are repetitive, the pacing is slow and there’s not a lot of variety. In 2026, RDR is more about vibes than content.

Good: Battle gameplay, art style and music. Bad: Dull story, really padded out story, super slow dialog boxes, no good mini games or other gameplay mechanics, mind-dullingly LONG, crappy overworld controls.

The bad reputation is deserved. It's a straight up corridor shooter, but the gunplay is wonky, The enemies don't react to being hit so it's unclear if you even hit them. Hitting legs doesn't knock them over, so there's no tactical element either. The cover system is clunky and mostly useless. The game hand-holds you too much and ... eh. I don't even want to finish this review. The same ****. I played it hoping for some good dumb fun, but it couldn't even satisfy that itch.

The sound and art direction alone are reason enough to play this. The gameplay is challenging but doable. There's some trial and error, but it's more about execution than evaluation. It's also a nice, short game that doesn't outstay its welcome. Easily worth $15 USD. I hope it gets a sequel.

The original is 10/10. This remake is good too, but I wish they did more to make it modern. Gameplay, it’s simple which I personally like. However the mandatory platforming can be stiff and frustrating. It's still a good cozy game though.

It lives up to the hype. I never played the original and I don't' really like Paper Mario games but this is an amazing game. I really hope the series returns to this style.

The combat gets so tedious that it zaps all the energy out of the game by the time you get towards the end. it's a shame because it's a stellar game otherwise. Not as good as TTYD, but still good.

It is hard. I needed a walkthrough but it’s worth it. Most rewarding gaming experience of my life.

Excellent VR experience, especially for newcomers. Little to no chance of motion sickness. The levels are immersive with great sound and visuals. The puzzles are challenging but doable. VR is highly underrated. Everything is life-size. It's one thing to read about it but a completely different thing to experience it.

I’ve put hundreds of hours into MLB The Show games on PS2, PS3 and PS4. Graphically, this is worse in parts than the PS2 games. Gameplay-wise, it’s good though it hasn’t changed much in 20 years. The fact they didn’t put out a Switch 2 Edition in 2026 tells you how much effort they put into this.

Great gameplay that’s very replayable. The story and setting are fine but the meat and potatoes of the game is the combat. It’s short, meaning it doesn’t have all the bloat that makes games 70 hrs. The story is replayable and there are many trials and postgame challenges to make it worth the $60.

The hype is real. I thought the high scores were inflated by Pokemon fans happy to finally get a decently polished game at release. I was wrong. This is a game that's more than just a farm-life sim. It's not a clone of ACNH, **** Valley or DQ Builders with a Pokemon skin slapped on it. It's a unique blend with exploration and discovery at the core. It's the first Nintendo Switch game worth the $70 USD price tag.

Full disclosure, I haven't finished it. I lose steam after 20 minutes every time I play. The gameplay is pretty shallow. It's a fine game if you want to goof off in co-op. Go play Resident Evil 4 VR instead. It's a much richer experience.

I was disappointed when RE went back to fantasy after the hard-hitting RE7 soft reboot, but RE8 proved me wrong. Sure, it's goofier than RE7, but it's a better game across the board. Great pacing, bosses, gameplay variety, visuals, environments, sound, post-game activities. I didn't expect this to be one of the best in the series. I like the setting of other RE games better but I had more fun playing this one... if that makes sense.

Stellar... a few minor shortcomings keeps it from being a 10/10. Too few puzzles... no Mercenaries (at least at launch)... no full New Game+. Still, an amazing game. I've replayed it 3 times in the first 3 weeks so you get your money's worth.

After 6 years and hundreds of hours played, I still routinely check in on my island and renovate areas. Any game that spends the better part of a decade in regular rotation is a 10/10.

I wanna rate this higher but... (A) The gameplay is shallow and enemy encounters get old fast. No variety like stealth like TLOU, dismemberment mechanic like Dead Space, flashlight mechanic like Alan Wake. Just basic point and shoot. (B) Clunky controls, cramped environment and fast powerful monsters. Lots of cheap damage. I like a challenge (I speed run RE and Metroid games), but this is more frustrating than challenging. (C) Generic, urban ruined locations. It's just been overdone with so many other games. They could've been more original with the setting. It's ok survival horror fans... but only if you're really itching for a new game. Just be prepared for annoying deaths, mundane objectives and tired locations. (D) Lots of tedious traversal to inflate the game length. Many sections of the game outstay their welcome.

This is what players have dreamt of since the early days of video games. It’s coop on top of that. Fun combat and good physics. A must have.

This game is a minor miracle. They managed to keep the tone, pacing and overall vibe of the original release while also making it a completely immersive VR game. It's impossible for YouTubereviews to full capture what it's like to walk around in the game's Village, Church or Castle. Everything is life-sized, whether it's the villagers, monsters or locations. The sound design and lighting contributes so it feel like you're actually there. This is hands down the best version of the game ever.

Surprisingly well-developed multiplayer game. It runs great on Switch 1 and 2. The character and equipment customization is polished. It gives you the pieces to make The Real Ghostbusters cartoon version characters, complete with Egon's blond pomp and blue/pink jumpsuit. The gameplay and balance rewards skill, and coordination. The "single" player mode is a nice addition to give context to the rest of the game. I only paid $ 8 USD and think it's well worth it. I wouldn't pay anymore than $15 for it.

As of Sept 2025 -- It's got a ton of content and great classic Hitman gameplay. The problem is frequent crashes. It throws me off my groove, especially when you've set up the perfect assassination over the course of 20+ minutes. If they fix it, it's easily an 8... maybe a 9 due to the amount of content.

It's MUCH better than the Switch 1 version. That said, it's still held back tedious requirements. Resource gathering takes up most of your playtime. Traversing the planets to get to your resource is mind numbing after a while. Then navigating the tech tree and building this so you can build that... I wanted to like this more, but it's just not fun to play. Subnautica is much more fun because resource gathering is combined with exploration of different biomes. Each planet in NMS is the same biome and planets follow the same formula.

Becomes surprisingly sale quickly. The courses all feel the same. The online matchmaking is slow. The driving dynamics are good but this game needs more content and variety. The battle mode is botched. The maps/arenas are too big and there aren't enough game modes.

Great immersion, gameplay variety and bang for your buck. It's a bit overwhelming at times, but there's so much content that you could play this game for years. The performance is really good too. No complaints.

Good but underwhelming and lacks the gameplay variety of Super Mario Odyssey. No dedicated mine cart level. No swimming level. No flying level. Just smashing and slight variation of smashing. It's also very easy (at least the main game). It doesn't have the endless replay-ability that you get from other AAA Nintendo titles. Too bad.

It's a rare and special game. You genuinely need to communicate and coordinate with your co-op partner like no other game (besides It Takes Two). I wish there were more games like this. If you have a buddy, you must play this. Also, it works great on Nintendo Switch 2.

I don't like JRPGs, but this is a great experience. The game is charming and keeps finding a way to impress during the entire playthrough. The multiplayer is simple but surprisingly engaging and chill way to spend time with a friend or family. There's also a free 10 hr post-game DLC quest. For an indie game, it punches above its weight class. If you can find it on a $20 - $25 USD sale, get it.

It's got good atmosphere but the voice acting keeps taking me out of it. Alan Wake (you) keeps butting in with obnoxious narration that zaps all the suspense. The gameplay loops gets repetitive and tedious pretty quickly. The game is ok for $7 but I wouldn't paying any higher for it.

It’s so rich with atmosphere. The setting is mesmerizing. The gameplay is satisfying stealth. The story is understated and avoids all the heavy handed tropes of melancholy stories.

Charming presentation with visuals and music. Chill difficulty. It starts off strong but ends flat. It doesn’t quite go above and beyond. It peaks pretty early on… so it’s a good but not great game.

After the Fallout show, I decided to jump into the games. FO4 started off ok, but quickly fell flat. I then started TOW and it hooked me immediately. The storytelling is really good. The art design is amazing. The gameplay is pretty good. I've seen how this game gets flack for being very "average" or "not as good as New Vegas." As a new comer, none of that registers with me. I think this game is stellar and worth $30.

It's my first Fallout. It's good, but repetitive. The missions are dull and most locations look the same (both interior and exterior). I wanna like it more because the setting and art design is great, but it became tedious after a while. The combat is ok, but not great. I ended up spending A LOT of time dealing with inventory management... and not in a fun way.

Am I missing something? Great acting, really good art direction but repetitive clunky gameplay that get tedious quickly. The combat just isn’t satisfying. There isn’t a lock-on feature when battling, so you’re awkwardly repositioning yourself. On top of that, the animations aren't contextual, so if you start a combo and the enemy moves, you’ll continue the animation of Kratos swinging at empty space.

I really wanted to like this more. The controls are great. I've been looking for a combat Metroidvania since Metroid Dread. On paper this is it... but something about the story and map design and pacing of new abilities just didn't click. I can't put my finger on it. Ubisoft has a way of just missing the target with their games. I felt the same way with Immortals and Sparks of Hope.

Great puzzles, map size, acceptable amount of backtracking, strong zombies (several bullets, even headshots before they go down), immersive sound design, I can go on. I've been waiting 20 years for a legit RE game and this delivers... and not fake delivers like RE7+8. RE2 is an uncompromised classic RE experience.

The negative reaction is way overblown. Arkham Asylum and City run flawlessly. I just nearly 100% both Ayslum and City. They didn't feel compromised at all. It's the full experience with immersive visuals. I have it on PS4, and unless you're comparing them side-by-side, you can barely tell the difference... and honestly, once you're zoned into the game, it doesn't matter. As of March 17 2024, Knight is running fairly well. The graphics are blurry, but playable. I'm 23% into the campaign and I haven't run into any game breaking things. The blurry visuals make it harder to make things out, so you can't be a graceful with your batman beat-down. The Batmobile segments a little choppy, but absolutely playable since the last patch. Wait for a $35 USD sale. It's absolutely worth it.

I wanna like it more but I feel like I dnt know what I’m doing. Usually I’m ok with games that don’t hold your hand, but for some reason I still feel lost in Outer Wilds.

The controls are a little inconsistent. When you sneak up behind someone, you can't do anything until you get the prompt (e.g. strangle, syringe, human shield). This makes going for Silent Assassin frustrating. There aren't autosaves either, so you have to manually save before going for a sneaky kill. Otherwise, it's aged very well. The controls and button layout are identical to the new trilogy. You can pull the camera field-of-view out so it's framed like the new games too.

The freezing literally makes the game unplayable. I can handle fuzzy graphics. I can handle laggy input, but when the game freezes every 20 minutes, it ruins the experience. I regret this purchase. For context, my internet speed is above average. I'm playing near my route in handheld, and my Switch dock is wired. Disappointing because I love this series and I can look past most of the limitations of cloud gaming.

Cons: (1) Very slow paced. (2) Tedious backtracking. (3) Confusing narrative (jumps between being abstract/symbolic and being actual/literal with game events). Pros: (1) Atmospheric setting with surprisingly good immersive graphics and unsettling sound design. (2) The story creates enough suspense to keep you going. Overall, it's a problematic story. The characters react bizarrely to situations. I wasn't sure if the game was trying to symbolic with things or saying these things are actually happening. It's also very slow with lots of backtracking filler to pad the length. However, its setting and vibe are the main reason to play the game. It gets under your skin and is one of the better suspense games I've played in years. If it's on sale for $10 or cheaper, I recommend it.

I tried it out of curiosity. The best thing about it is two-player local co-op. It's easy and runs well, so it's good for kids. The controls are responsive. The graphics are generic, but good. It hasn't lagged, froze or crashed yet. It's just dull. It's worth $12 tops.

Maybe the best couch co-op story modes available on Switch. It runs great. There's a free download if you want to play on two Switch consoles with only one cartridge. The gameplay variety is great. Each level has its own theme and control scheme that are so good, you could base individual games around each level. There's a puzzle platformer, shooter, dungeon crawler, etc.

Update: May 2023: Bumped score from 4 to 7/10. There's a charming, well polished game in there. The music/sound, over-world environment design and attention to detail is very good. If you're able to reset your expectations and approach this as if you didn't play KB, you'll enjoy it more. I still stand by my original review, but my gripes aren't getting in the way of my enjoying of the game as much. It's still too easy, so no reply value. Downgrades: 1. There are "real-time" actions like hovering and picking up bombs that are on timers. It loses that aspect of "take as much time as you need" to make the perfect move that make turn-based strategies. 2. Removing the movement grid makes this feel more vague and sloppy. 3. Rabbids talk. They're fine as primitive creatures that can speak in broken sentences like previous games. When they speak in coherent sentences and can carry normal conversations, they lose a big part of their charm. 4. The graphics look Gamecube-era at times. By choosing for full camera-control, the game lost the ability to perfectly frame environments. The world doesn't feel as alive and lush anymore. It looks generic and lacking in detail. 5. Exploration is gone. Things are marked on the map in typical Ubisoft-fashion. Any sense of discovery is removed. 6. The battle grounds are shockingly bland. In Kingdom Battle, the battle grounds were built into the world. Here, you run into an enemy and you're taken to a generic battle ground with randomly placed cover. 7. The actual battles are lifeless and it's not only because of the boring maps and real-time actions. There's no satisfaction in setting up the perfect move and watching in play out. 8. What happened to the great music from KB? Across the board, this is a very disappointing game for anyone who liked KB. They over-thought the game mechanics and crippled themselves by going with free camera movement. On a fundamental level, the game just isn't fun anymore. 8. WTF happened to the great music from KB?

Controls are so laggy, it’s unplayable. I give it 1/10 because it’s pretty to look at.

Surprised by the controversy. The game didn’t come off as preachy or interested in pushing an agenda. Everything that happens in the game feels like the natural course of events for these characters. This is a masterpiece that rivals the first one. The scope, scale and overall execution is flawless.

THE BACKTRACKING drains all the fun out at times. It’s made worse by tedious enemy respawns each time you return to certain rooms. Also, the map will make you got cross eyed after a while. It’s a good game, but it feels like a chore at times. Metroid Dread handled backtracking better with fast travel stations and new powerups allowing you to plow through low level enemies. Hopefully Prime 4 handles this better.
