Chill exploration game A Short Hike has finally arrives on Switch sometime today and the timing couldn’t be better. Find treasure, rid a motorboat, catch up with other critters and shutout the rest of world while taking strolls off the beaten path.

The lovely indie JRPG CrossCode is finally coming to consoles on July 9. That means if you, like I, have been waiting for the Switch version to finally dig into the game about playing MMOs, there’s only one more month to go. 

The excellent roguelike card game Slay the Spire is coming to iOS later this month, according to a new post on Steam by Mega Crit Games. An Android port is also in the works, but further out the studio said. 

Retro first-person shooter Project Warlock is coming to PS4 on June 9 and Xbox One and Switch on June 11. Released on PC back in 2018, it’s an ode to 90s shooters like Wolfenstein and Doom with modern tweaks like weapon and character upgrades. Who couldn’t use more demon-slaying in their life?

Sting Entertainment’s role-playing roguelike Baroque is coming to the eShop in Japan later this year. Originally released on the Sega Saturn only in Japan in 1998, the game was remade and ported to PS2 and Wii a decade later. It’s an incredibly interesting but obtuse game with a lovely soundtrack.

Yggdra Union: We’ll Never Fight Alone is coming to the eShop in Japan in March. The excellent tactical RPG originally came to the GBA in 2006 before later getting ported to PSP. It’s also on smartphones but only in Japan. It would be amazing to have on Switch.

Anime mech fighter Daemon X Machina is coming to PC on February 13. Previously released on Switch last summer, where it was published by Nintendo, the game is being distributed on Steam by Xseed where it’ll have all of the current updates and add-ons minus “some licensed DLC.”

The Outer Worlds is coming to Switch on March 6. The sci-fi shooter RPG came to PS4, Xbox One, and PC last year. While the game will have a retail version, the box will only come with a download code inside. It’s not the best choice, it’s Spacers Choice. 

Patapon 2 is getting a 4K remaster for PlayStation 4 releasing on January 30. The 2008 PSP game was a rhythm-based strategy game where band of walking eyeballs used music to fight monsters and rival tribes. The first game in the series was remastered and ported back in 2018. 

The papercraft-looking adventure game Knights and Bikes is coming to Switch on February 6. It was good on PS4 and Steam when it released last fall, but the co-op mode in particular feels ideal for the Switch’s Joy-Con.
