Truth be told, I’m not exactly sure what else to say. Spy Bros finally getting a port is great, it not having adult content anymore is arguably a plus too, so say…a fan of it could have their kid play too. This really makes me glad Toaplan and Tatsujin are pushing hard for their games to get out here now. And I commend RAWR Lab for loving this game and being passionate to spread the love to a new set of fans. Also, yes you can disable backgrounds. I just happen to like them on.

I want to see more of Encounters, make a sequel, polish up the looks, get more songs, more originals, and I’m positive this will be a classic. I like what I played a lot, but feel it’s just shy away from being what it truly can be if it had more budget. That all said, I liked Encounters and for $5, you can’t go too wrong. I even started experimented playing it like having two people share one Switch in a co-op kind of way.

I’m glad Souldiers isn’t a case of style over substance, it’s definitely not a game that looks good, but doesn’t not play as well. It’s really long and feels so good to play, especially when you land those critical hits or counters. The minor tech issues aren’t enough to keep from from enjoying this.

Galacticon even had some really nice, colorful spritework too. Everything is recognizable and jumps out. Smooth controls, smooth art, it’s all good. The music is pretty catchy too. All those old arcade games had good music.

I’ve been playing a lot of precision platformers on Switch lately, but none of them use magnets as a mechanic, so this pulls me in and makes Super Magbot stand out.

In the end, I enjoyed my time with Solo: Islands of the Heart because of the evolving puzzle design, and some introspection is good every now and then, even if you do it on your own. A guided journey can give different results and take you on a different path than if you went alone. If you’re in a relationship, you could play together, or separately, and come together and talk with what you experienced and your thoughts, opening up a new dialogue in your relationship. But again, being in a relationship is not a requirement for the game, and anyone could play this game and take something away regardless of their experiences until now.

Excellent throwback shmup

Fun, colorful, and energetic shooter, but not for casual gamers.

All play modes are great for this game, but I found myself drawn to playing in handheld mode more often than not. Nothing is lost while transitioning this game to the big screen, so go at it with whatever mode suits you

The game looks and plays great on the Switch’s handheld mode. The style of the game lends itself to playing on the go, so handheld is definitely the recommended way of playing. However, the graphics don’t really lose anything when translated to a big screen, so there’s no wrong answer.
