Honourable mentions
It’s been a crazy busy month what with Pokémon and tons of Switch 2 ports and indie releases, though that feels like every month at the moment, doesn’t it? Every eShop game we scored a 7/10 or above is eligible here.
Obviously, there’s a big one missing — Plants vs. Zombies Replanted. We’re working on our full review and it’ll be with you soon, but until then, make sure you check out Felix’s video on the Switch 2 release.
Alrighty then, here are all the games that didn’t quite make the cut for the top three; plenty of fantastic games, but the cream of the crop was very good this time around:
When Dotemu speaks, we listen. And we’ve been particularly excited about Absolum, a brand new IP from the French studio that made its name on Streets of Rage 4 and Windjammers 2. Developed alongside Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, this is a roguelike beat ’em up with tons of style and customisation.
Besides looking beautiful, Absolum is all about finding the build that fits your play and combo style. You can play as one of four characters either alone or in two-player co-op and go through run after run as you try to save the world.
It’s fiendishly good, and on Switch 1, we scored it a 9/10.
