Its one of those weeks where theres bound to be something on the Switch eShop able to coax money out of your digital wallet a pleasingly varied assortment of titles covering all genres imaginable, right down to a game where you play as a bar of soap.
For sports fans theres the anticipated Nintendo Switch Sports a modern take on Wii Sports, offering six events and support for an optional leg strap accessory and the annual sporting update Cricket 22. At 53.99, we genuinely hope Cricket 22 is able to rival the recent PS4/Xbox One iterations Switch games rarely break the 50 mark.
Reviews for Nintendo Switch Sports went live earlier today, resulting in a respectable 75% Metacritic. Its yet to garner a single 9/10, but there are plenty of 8/10s being bandied about. That said, likely more 7/10s than Nintendo hoped to see, too.
Theres some valid criticisms to be made over the shallow game roster and even shallower character customization, but at its core, Nintendo Switch Sports is an absolute blast and is simple enough for anyone who wants to give it a try, said Screen Rant.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War seems to have left critics smitten, with reviews being full of praise for this content-heavy package. Theres a ton of zombie Nazi-slaying sweetness to get stuck into here and, although the graphics have taken a hit and the frame rate has been halved in comparison to other platforms, whats here is eminently playable in both docked and handheld modes. Whether youre taking on Hitlers undead hordes alone or with a few friends in tow, this ones a ton of schlocky B-movie fun that gets a great big thumbs up from us, was Nintendo Lifes verdict.
Bugsnax is another belated conversion on the agenda, originally being a PS5 launch title. Its a comical critter capturing game, viewed from first person, and intertwined with an unfolding story that has a few unexpected turns. Although the characters are likeable and the dialogue is bound to make you chuckle, some of the mechanics are a little unrefined. While the jury is still out on this Switch iteration, we imagine itll be fun but flawed like the original.
Team17s The Serpent Rogue a medieval adventure centered around alchemy has gained mixed reviews, meanwhile. Everything from Checkpoint Gamings 5/10 to Screen Rants 4.5/5. WhileThe Serpent Roguemay not be great as an entry-level crafting game, it is a fantastic and beautifully crafted fantasy adventure that is enjoyable and challenging from the second players embark on their journey, said SR.
2013s The Stanley Parable also returns this week in a new Ultra Deluxe package. It seems time hasnt diminished the experience you wont have to look far to find a 9/10 review score. If you havent played it, its largely recommended to go in blind, so as not to spoil the experience.
RESEARCH and DESTROY is one weve spent a couple of hours with. Its a third-person shooter thats turn-based each squad member has around ten seconds to move, aim and shoot. At the end of each turn, the enemies ghouls and ghosts, mostly then advance and attack. Its backed by vibrant comic-book style visuals, and easy to get into, but we do fear it isnt quite as tactical as the developers have led us to believe. Enemies have an irritating habit of spawning next to where youre standing, and levels have a lot of open spaces.
Layer Section & Galactic Attack S-Tribute is this weeks retro-release with Layer Section being the home version of Taitos RayForce. New features include save states, online leaderboards, and the ability to rewind. Expect to pay just over 25.
Other notable new releases include Arise: A Simple Story a narrative adventure with a time manipulation aspect 2D action RPG Unsouled, the twisted corpse cooking management sim Ravenous Devils, and Tasomachi: Behind the Twilight a 3D platformer collectathon with soft, pastel-colored, visuals.
