While the Switch version's performance may lag behind other platforms, it's still a satisfying experience. Check out Mikhail's excellent review for a deeper dive.

Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn ($19.99)

Tengo Project continues its impressive streak of remakes with this 8-bit classic. While a departure from the source material, it delivers a classic-style action-platformer experience. My review will be available early next week.

Valfaris: Mecha Therion ($19.99)

A genre shift from its predecessor, Valfaris: Mecha Therion is a 2.5D side-scrolling shooter. While the genre change might surprise some, it offers plenty of enjoyable gameplay. A review is on its way.

Nour: Play With Your Food ($9.99)

The premise remains a bit mysterious, but the game's visuals are undeniably appealing. Expect food-based gameplay involving photography, exploration, and possibly secret-finding. Mikhail may offer further insights soon.

A monster truck game for monster truck fans. Featuring local and online multiplayer, various game modes, and a mixed reception on other platforms.
