Agreement—

While there are a fair few top-down dungeon crawlers and action RPGs on Switch today, there's always room for more – especially when they fly in the face of mobile gaming's unpredictable quality levels. And while Blade II's aesthetic is nothing new – in fact, we'd say Bloodborne and The Witcher III are really having their style cramped – the quality of its presentation and performance on Switch really makes up for it. Its slick and fast combat has plenty of depth to offer, but it's let down by samey and uncreative level designs that repeat themselves far too often.
