Nintendo LifeStephanie WoorJun 20196/10Super Skelemania is a passable – if mostly superfluous – effort in a sea of similar games. The satisfying movement mechanics you uncover ensure that the hour you spend playing won't feel wasted, but whether you'll feel compelled to pick it up again – or if you soon struggle to recall ever having played it in the first place – is another matter. Nonetheless, there are certainly less competent, and more cynical releases to filter through on the eShop.

Cultured VulturesJay KriegerJun 20195/10A speedrunner's delight masked as a Metroidvania that does little to differentiate itself from the titans of its genre.
