Let’s be completely transparent here. I’m a fan of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into it between its Xbox One, PC, and mobile releases (respectively). I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time with the game, that was until the Xbox One release on my Halo 5 Limited Edition console. Before that, I was happy with the idea of a PC exclusive, one that would set the industry ablaze with its unique gameplay elements, tactical touches, and subtle nods to the games that it was built upon.

Review: DOOM – Ripping and Tearing on the go with a Switch

2018031620525500-CF035A1DEF1D6DADE285B7ACA9873642


Pros:
+Handles extremely well on the Nintendo Switch, allowing for intuitive control schemes to work
+Frame rate and resolutions are quite impressive feats on the Nintendo Switch
+Multiplayer works quite well, connection stability is comparable to both PC and console versions

Cons:
-Being able to enlarge the UI while playing would be quite the welcome sight while in handheld mode


It’s hard to imagine that after 20 years, id’s magnum opus would finally make way to a Nintendo device. The company, Nintendo that is, has been stiff about the type of games they want on their devices, opting for more family-friendly games versus adult-focused titles that bask in the glory of ultra-violence and blood-filled delight as enemies are splattered across a room after being hit with a BFG 9000.

Pros:
+Combat and leveling systems are sound and quite enjoyable
+The games strong narrative allows for great character development
+Difficulty scaling is rather well implemented allowing players to explore freely

Cons:
-Can feel like a bit of a slog after 15-20 hours, but does redeem itself after a short bit
-Guild recruiting feels underutilized and without little cause and effect to the overall game.

It’s not often that I find myself in this odd position, my head on a pile of pillows, arms stretched before me holding a New Nintendo 3DS (check out our review here) and my charger cable hooked up to it. One of my few reasons behind it is rather odd in some ways, one’s because I’ve been sucked into Alliance Alive, but also, I still am struggling with the same boss I’ve been stuck on for nearly an hour.
