Let’s go to school ($19.99)
let’s go to school is a school management simulation game where you play the role of a principal and try to build, design, take care of students, and more. when i first saw the trailer let’s go to schoolit looked interesting, but knowing the team at Pathea Games was responsible for it made me even more curious to give it a try as a huge fan my time in portia and sandstone.
From the beginning, let’s go to school As a simulation and management game, it feels deep and impressive. It can be a little daunting at first because of how much burden is placed on the player in terms of construction and design. Both integrate well into the core game loop, ensuring let’s go to school Still installed on your Switch to capture and play when needed. when i first started playing let’s go to school, I was surprised at how much customization was already possible early on. If you don’t like the stress of managing and simulating games, there’s also a sandbox mode in addition to multiple difficulty options. You can also choose to customize the difficulty if you want to adjust it to your liking. let’s go to school Despite its depth, it’s a very accessible game, but the only point of contention is the font size in the Nintendo Switch interface. I’ve found that everything works fine on my Lite and OLED Switch, but some may have interface issues.
I haven’t played let’s go to schoolThe PC version comes with a keyboard and mouse to experience the controls, but I did play it on the Steam Deck using the handheld device itself. I found the controls worked well and the interface was similar to the Switch. When you hold down the shoulder button or trigger, you’ll see a radial menu where you can zoom. If you’re used to playing this type of game on the Switch, this is nothing special. If you are new to this genre, let’s go to school It can be overwhelming at first, not only with its controls but also with its mechanics, but sticking with it will be worth your time.
My main complaint is let’s go to school The issues on the Switch have to do with how it looks when docked and some parts taking too long to load. It feels like a first-time handheld experience, and works well on a portable device, with the controller UI and fonts even on the Switch Lite (at least for me). Even the interface for docked playback doesn’t look as clear as it should. Besides that, I hope let’s go to school There’s some touch support, as I like using touch controls to navigate some menus and pan in a camera-style management game like this.
If you had access to the Switch and Steam Deck, I’d get let’s go to school Get better performance and faster loading times on Steam Deck. Performance on the Deck isn’t perfect, but it’s better than on the Switch. Despite the cuts, the Switch port feels much better than I expected, all things considered.
Now that I’ve finished playing with them both, let’s go to school and two o’clock campus Well worth your time. If you already liked the original version of the latter, I guess let’s go to school This would be a great compliment and a fun management game in its own right. I just hope the developers consider adding some touchscreen support, as a game like this would benefit from the input options on the Switch. ——Mikhail Madanani

One Piece Odyssey Deluxe Edition ($59.99)
imagine a piece A turn-based RPG, a game that gets the job done without going beyond that. So be it! That is One Piece Odysseyuse this to slide to Switch Deluxe Edition. this VIP room Part of the title amounts to an extra post-game scene, plus some character costumes. I’m sure some visual sacrifices have been made here, and they’re likely in line with what we’ve seen in other Bandai Namco Switch ports. If you agree and like piece, you might like this. We may review this, but only time will tell.
Legend of Ring of Lorne ($9.99)
A short, small action RPG inspired by Japanese classics of the genre. When publishers say this, they mean Ys or they mean Hydride? The answer is important! After looking at the screenshots, my hunch is that Hydride. But there’s nothing wrong with that, it just depends on your taste. The demo is meant to evoke memories of MSX, which is a good goal. I’ll probably bet on this one and report back if it lives up to my hopes.
Monument: Invasion ($9.99)
Here’s some affordable first-person shooter action if you want to try it out today. It’s not the most luxurious dining environment, and of course the eShop description is the same as the first one monument Not too encouraging, but the original managed to find its fans and I’m sure this one will too.

That, my friends, is all for today and this week. Next week we’ll be back with more new games, more sales, more reviews, and maybe some news. It’s my birthday next week and I’ve reached the age where I don’t want that number to go up any more. However, doctors don’t recommend the only known way to stop that number from rising, so I just have to live with it. Hope you all have a great weekend, and as always, thank you for reading!
