Samurai Riot: Definitive Edition (Switch) Review
Samurai Riot offers classic brawler gameplay with a unique choice mechanism. Major events happen, and you have the choice to branch the storyline in one of eight directions. It is a welcome return to classic “couch co-op” fun.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition (Switch) Review
Scott Pilgrim is back for the game’s 10th anniversary. An excellent celebration of a lost digital title returning from the dead, the game in itself is a love letter to retro brawlers and easily earns a spot in your collection.
The TakeOver (Switch) Review
The TakeOver has a story reminiscent of Mighty No. 9: A re-invigoration of a genre that ends up coming out just as a classic king returns. However, while MN9 faltered, The TakeOver earns its stripes and deserves to live alongside Streets of Rage 4 as a great homage and wonderful game all in itself.
Override: Mech City Brawl Review
Override: Mech City Brawl is a multiplayer focused giant robot fighter. While there is a little bit of a single player mode, the main focus is going online or through couch co-op to beat the oil out of up to three opponents at a time, or join up a la Voltron to control individual limbs in a chaotic co-op mode.
