Review scores are generally positive so far, with Destructoid calling it the best SpongeBob game ever. Once you pop, etc.Īs for games somewhat newer, there’s SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake from THQ Nordic. We like a bit of Puzzle Bobble around these parts, and this seems like an exhaustive collection of greats. Or if you want to use its full and correct title, Puzzle Bobble™2X/BUST-A-MOVE™2 Arcade Edition & Puzzle Bobble™3/BUST-A-MOVE™3 S-Tribute. We can probably class Puzzle Bobble S-Tribute as a tardy conversion too.

Trek to Yomi garnered the same score from us, being something of a looker but failing to deliver a deep combat system. “It’s satisfying in small doses, while also showcasing some thoughtful design choices that help elevate it beyond other simulators,” we said. We gave the Xbox One version of PowerWash Simulator a squeaky clean 7/10 at launch.

These include Annapurna Interactive’s former PS5 exclusive adventure The Pathless, map-building FPS Gunscape, the zen-like PowerWash Simulator, and Devolver Digital’s side-scrolling cinematic slasher Trek to Yomi. “Life is Strange 2 is a worthy entry in the narrative series that improves upon the first game in meaningful ways with a story that’s both thrilling and emotional,” they said.Ī few other belated conversions are on the agenda. Nintendo Life awarded it a 7/10, noting some lengthy loading times. From Square-Enix comes Life is Strange 2 – announced barely a week ago – which sees two brothers on an unforgettable road trip across the Mexican border. The amount of good stuff does at least outweigh the bad. Incidentally, it appears that the eShop sees more shovelware than usual this week too, including a dubious (and rather blatant) Peppa Pig rip-off.

It’s an exceedingly busy week for the Switch – several titles had to be left out of this piece’s headline, despite them being reasonably anticipated or looking promising.
