The Switch Effect

“If you like card games like Poker, then you’ll like the gameplay loop but if you aren’t a gambling addict like Asuha, the game won’t have much else to offer besides the humor.”

“MiceGard isn’t a game-changer but for $10 it’s a short and charming adventure.”

“I couldn’t make it more than two minutes without being bombarded with some form of immersion breaking technical issues. Dungeons 4 is by no means a bad game, but it’s incredibly difficult to play on the Switch, especially in handheld mode.”

“Overall, Deep Beyond has as much narrative depth as a ten-minute visual novel but the art style and voice acting really stand out.”

“To those who haven’t seen the anime, it’s just another SRPG, and maybe they’ll like the story and check it out. For those who are fans of the anime, they’ll enjoy that it isn’t just a redo of stuff they’ve already seen while also getting a handful of subtle references.”

“Granted, if you’re not incredibly patient with seeing hours of tutorials, you might not stick around long enough for the game to get good. But if you love building, management, and tycoon games you’re going to have a blast with Let’s School.”

“This mix of fast-paced action with strategy and RPG elements makes the game incredibly fun. It’s addictive and has a ton of replayability.”

“ast Night of Winter is not the kind of game that the average casual gamer should be picking up. Most people will give up on it quickly saying it’s too difficult or too boring outside of the combat.”

“Dicefolk is a solid mix of Slay the Spire and dice action. If that sort of mashup is your thing, then you’ll love this game.”

“Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a lot of fun and it ended up being exactly what I was hoping for.”

“It’s a really good adaptation of the anime and it’s original content that’s not seen in the anime so it’s the equivalent of seeing a few extra episodes. This game feels like an actual extension of the anime and would serve as a great collectible for an anime or game fan if you get the physical copy.”

“Unfortunately it’s just not enough to warrant the price tag. Unturned is 100 percent a game that you should check out but it’s not worth the $25 for the Switch version. If you want to play it, just get on Steam and download the game for free. It’s a great game but not a great game on the Switch.”

“Mugen Souls didn’t get good reviews back in the day and I’m not too sure it’ll get them nowadays either. It’s for the most part mediocre RPG that’s lifted up by a mixed bag of presentation and it’s practically porn like minigames. Still, it’s nice to see it not stuck on a PS3 anymore if you want it physically.”

“Rainbow Moon is a perfect example of an old-school RPG that deserves to be played on the Switch. It’s a really solid game but the combination of price and content puts it over the edge.”

“If you’re a fan of these songs or just like rhythm games in general, you will get some enjoyment out of Invector. The bugs and glitches will ruin a round or two here and there and you might not like all the songs but for $25 there’s a decent amount of content for a game that’s pretty engaging.”

“Do I recommend nGolf? I do, but not at that ridiculous price tag. You’ll be lucky if you can get two hours of gameplay and then never play.”

“If you love the entire package of story, farming, combat, exploration, and characters, you could spend 50 to 70 hours playing the main game before even getting to the 11 Newlywed Mode chapters.”

“The game is serviceable but I really wanted to like it so much more. There’s a lot of potential in the story and characters and both the music and visuals are great, but that’s where the praise ends.”

“The core gameplay loop is simple but requires a lot of strategy and sometimes quick thinking. Each time you enter the dungeon you’re given a limited amount of backpack space and a few starting items. When you level up, you’re able to add more space to your backpack but that resets each time.”

“Suika Game is nothing more than a game for hunting high scores. If you get the watermelon and a really high score on your first attempt, you might not feel motivated to play anymore if you don’t feel like you can get an even better score. However most people will love the thrill of continuously trying to get a better score and using a mix of planning and luck to get them there.”
