Upcoming Switch Games August 2023

Time to look at the upcoming new release games on our favourite handheld, the Nintendo Switch, for August 2023. Plus, we also feature Upcoming Steam games. For those of you who prefer gaming on Steam!

Not all games to be released are on the list here. Alternatively, you will see games that the other gaming sites don’t mention. We are taking notice of these games. You can expect reviews for many of them if given half a chance! It should be noted that unless we have some personal experience with the game, there’s a link to the descriptions on the Nintendo website.

Tiny Thor features 16-bit graphics and gameplay centered around using Mjölnir, leading our Norse hero through challenging levels filled with all kinds of obstacles. It offers tight controls, fast-paced action and an experience tinged with nostalgia.

James already reviewed the game on Steam, and wrote this in his conclusion:

Tiny Thor, for me, was a pleasant trip down the retro platforming avenue. Although I enjoyed it, the experience might not be for everyone. The game does bring with it some of the retro baggage. Levels do get very tough, requiring precision platforming to fully conquer. The health system isn’t that great, and levels do feel a tad long, reducing the drive to go back to explore for all the secrets.

Still, the game gets so much right with tight controls, brilliant presentation and a challenge that may be tough but is rewarding if you stick with it. You will likely feel worthy if you decide to take up the hammer with Tiny Thor.

James looked at the game when it was in early access on Steam, here are his thoughts:

It’s a fun and to-the-point party game that makes for an easy recommendation if you’re looking for a new game night experience. Suitable for players of all skills and a presentation that’s likely to lead to a few laughs. It will also create positive memories that you’ll hopefully all cherish for years to come.

In this detective adventure game, you will take on the role of the famous detective, Hercule Poirot, as he joins forces with Lloyd’s of London to ensure the transportation, protection, and sale of a valuable painting of Mary Magdalene. The painting is to be the centerpiece of a new exhibit at a London Museum, featuring other works of ecclesiastical art on loan from Brussels.

It’s a seemingly simple task of delivering a painting for an exhibition, but it will be unfortunately stolen during the grand opening.

Twelve espers with superhuman powers brought together on a floating ship by a mysterious multinational entity known only as The World…

Mina reviewed the game on Steam and Liked it a Lot. Here are her thoughts:

The Shape of Things is so cute, it’s super fun, and the smooth gameplay and the puzzles are well-considered. Minus the couple of things I had issues with, The Shape of Things was nearly perfect. I love it so much.

In addition, the game is cute, fun, relaxing, and worth picking up if you love these kinds of adorable little puzzle games.

The place is U-chronia, a hazy world that lives in hazy memories of the distant past. OU, a young boy, wakes up in a dried up riverbed without any memories of his own.

He meets Zarry, an opossum with a flaming tail, who guides him on a journey to find out his story. The Saudage Specter, who haunts the boy; Gemini, who looks just like him; The Weeping Woman “La Llorona”, who leads him to tragedy. All of them are there to change the Story and how it will end.

A pen-drawn world reminiscent of the illustrations in children’s literature, accompanied by guitar music ripe with nostalgia for an old hometown.
