"When it works, it's an exciting romp through colourful levels with a lot of variety, but when it doesn't the calculator will quickly become frustrating."

"When taken individually each one might feel a little underwhelming, but considered together the Freedom Chronicles feel surprisingly cohesive."

Kirby Star Allies

Fear Effect Sedna

"The game's frustrating and generally clunky execution makes it a hard sell."

Dandara

"It's not always the easiest, but the hardest journeys are often the most rewarding."

Monopoly for Nintendo Switch

"If you like the develop a property empire and lose some friends in the process, this is as good a way as any to do so."
