The State of Switch 2023 — Six years in, what do folks think of Nintendo’s hybrid. I asked, you answered — here are all the results. Chris Brandrick // Switch Weekly REVIEW Advance Wars 1 + 2: Reboot Camp review – a slick update of a complex game — I enjoyed this review for it offered a slightly different take on the core theme at play here. ” a generous, elegant, efficient tactics game that I still take great pleasure from, that I can still lose hours and hours to, and it’s also one which, if you step back, absolutely allows you to realise that you’re frequently doing ugly things beneath a cheery facade. “. Here’s another review from VGC , and another from Game Informer , who quipped that this remake ” presents a strong case that classic games don’t always have to change to be relevant again. Sometimes, they just need a second chance “.
