The poor critical reviews completely miss the point. This is the most ridiculous, fun and addictive wrestling game to play on basically any platform, up there with a classic like No Mercy on the N64. Yes it's janky, yes it's stupid, yes it's buggy, but none of that matters; in fact, it's kind of the point.
It's silly, it's fun, it's a golf game but not a golf game. Not many games make me laugh at loud, but this certainly does. Very easy to keep playing; a great casual game to pick up and play for a few minutes too. Only downside is that it isn't particularly challenging - there's very few "courses" that you'll need to play through more than a few times.
Easy to pick up and play, just like the original versions. Nostalgic soundtrack. Graphics are surprisingly decent on the Switch port, and gameplay matches the originals too. The best skating game on Switch (by far!).
Fantastic puzzle platformer that slowly increases in difficulty. Great minimalist look and a fantastic chiptune-esque soundtrack. Brilliant narration from Danny Wallace. Somehow it packs an emotional punch.
This only gets a fair score due to it's low price. Essentially, it's a super-minimalist skating game, where there isn't much to do aside from a few tricks; treat it like a mobile game for filling 5-10 minutes of downtime here and there.
This game strips back all the elements of a stealth game until you're left with the basics; a little blob you move, walls for hiding behind, blobs that are looking for you (with shards of light representing flashlights). For the price, it's a surprisingly challenging little puzzle game that is decent enough for a few plays. Having said that, you can pick up a game like Serial Cleaner - which has the same mechanic but a stylish look - for close to the same price when on sale.
Disappointing platform game (even when bought for next-to-nothing on sale). Art seems inspired by much better alternatives, it can be unnecessarily frustrating and is in general just very bland. Over-priced too when at full price.
A walking simulator with some point-and-click elements thrown in. Essentially this comes down to whether you find the story compelling (I didn't) and like the look of it; the 32-bit graphics weren't attractive to me, and in fact find that they actually hinder the gameplay elements that are there.
Solid arcade-style racing game. Graphics are decent enough, and the controls feel responsive. It does start to get repetitive after a while though, mainly due to the low number of tracks. It's just about worth the full price on the eShop, and definitely recommended if on sale.
This is a simple game executed very well. It is let down a bit by some drops in frame rate (especially at high speeds) and interactions with objects (like rocks and trees) being a too over-sensitive; this is more of an issue for a game like this as precision is key.
If you like text-heavy mystery games with FMV elements, Jessika might be for you. The design choices for the interface are very frustrating, which makes it very difficult to actually play. It's also very over-priced; I bought on sale at close to free but, even then, is very difficult to recommend.
A great physics-based side-scrolling "racing" game with unique visuals and a great soundtrack. Each track is very addictive; it's very difficult to stop playing until you've completed each stage. It's let down a bit by the difficulty of the 'boss battles' - there's quite a steep difficulty curve between each level and the end level boss. Definitely recommended though, especially if on sale.
Good game; solid controls, solid gameplay, and a nice amount of customisation options. The graphics let it down a bit; it's scruffy in places and many of the environments are a bit too sparse.
Great game, which is very original and has a unique 1930s cartoon-style visuals. However, it is exceptionally difficult, even when opting to play through levels on 'Easy' mode.
This is a great little game, perfectly suited to a handheld device like the Switch. Part auto-runner, part rhythm game, it's difficult (especially due to the lack of checkpoints) but satisfying enough to keep you coming back for "one more run". Great chiptune soundtrack too.
Abzu is tough to review, because it's definitely the kind of "game" which you either love or find boring. It's a walking (well, swimming) simulator with a nice soundtrack and nice visuals. But not stunning visuals; something like this would make a better VR experience. I also found the controls a bit unresponsive and dizzying, especially controlling the camera.
A Small Hike is a fun little game; visual style is nice and it's satisfying enough to spend a couple of hours with. Saying that, it is very short (as the name suggests!) and there's not enough of a pull to explore every nook and cranny.
