Weekly Top Deals on Nintendo Switch 2

Nobody Saves the World

One of the things I love most about indie games is their tendency to bring surprises to the table of some kind. Drink...

Citizen Sleeper

As regulars probably know well by now, I don’t tend to be a fan of visual novels and even sometimes struggle wi...

Cult of the Lamb

The folks at Devolver certainly have a type and know how to pick weird but excellent indies, striking gold again

Gloomy Eyes

An enchanting mix of a great art style, interesting storytelling, and smart puzzle design

Cattle Country

While not perhaps dripping with as much charm as Stardew Valley, this is the closest I’ve seen someone else get to that formula doing it well

Cook Serve Forever

By adding a grounded story, and recipes you complete built around a wide variety of recombined patterns you can get used to, this series takes a big step forward

Worms W.M.D

In the end I must say that I’m extremely impressed with the level of care and effort that has been put into mak...

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector

This follow-up maintains the well-written course of its predecessor, but fails to feel as fresh the second go-round

Escape from Ever After

In many ways this feels like a creative, and often funny, alternative take on the Paper Mario formula, but it isn’t quite as polished

THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake

While it doesn’t very clearly set itself apart from its predecessor, there’s still no doubt that it can be a bloody good time… within limits

Ready, Steady, Ship!

Whether solo or co-op this shipping game will test your speed, skills, planning, and patience

Until Then

While it can still feel limited by its format, and a bug or two was hit, among its peers Until Then manages to stand pretty tall

PlateUp!

An alternative take on the likes of Overcooked-style multiplayer food prep chaos that has both ups and downs

Terror of Hemasaurus

While there’s no mistaking the classic Rampage base experience, Hemasaurus adds enough extra oomph to be its own game

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Purgatory

Solid storytelling with enough choices that it help you feel more engaged, but some “political” elements that may be a turn off

Backpack Hero

While hardly a looker, this is pretty unique roguelike RPG makes meticulous inventory management compelling

Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince

Though continuing with many of the charms of the original, the somewhat dumbed down challenge gives it less appeal

Trigger Witch

OK, so I’ll admit it, games that do something weird to combine elements I know and love tend to catch me by surprise and...

R-Type Dimensions EX

I really appreciate the love and effort into bringing the R-Type experience to the Switch. While playing it old school h...

Schildmaid MX

A shooter with classic arcade roots but a method of play that feels fresh and fun

Elsie

You can see the effort to make this mix of side-scrolling action and roguelike elements work, but it struggles in spots

BROK the InvestiGator

Mixing together multiple genre feels results in a less traditional take on a point-and-click adventure

Lil Gator Game

Definitely geared for the younger, or more casual, crowd this is roughly a kids’ play version of multiple titles and genres

Sail Forth

Hit the high seas in search of treasure, trouble, and generally pleasant exploration and adventure

Ben 10

I have to say that I’m incredibly impressed with the total package Ben 10 brings to the table and I’m not...

BROK: The Brawl Bar

Going with more objective-based bite-sized segments, The Brawl Bar has a novel feel for a beat-em-up but struggles to be satisfying

Dunk Dunk

While it works reasonably well as a local multiplayer action romp, a lack of nuance and muddled action hold it back

The Cub

Though failing to break new ground in platforming adventure, the scenery and general feel work while it lasts

Amnesia: Collection

If you’re into horror games or at least watching streamers play horror games there’s a good chance you&rs...

Lode Runner Legacy

If you buy into the relatively simple hook of this scheme, and all of the challenges that are derived from it, there’s a...
