The year has officially turned over, with more games on the horizon for the Nintendo Switch. What lies ahead for this hybrid handheld? Let’s find out.
Laika: Aged Through Blood
Motorcycles, furries, violence, and a mother seeking to reclaim her tribe’s lost heritage. Combining all four of those things, and you get Laika: Aged Through Blood. Drive your way through this motorvania, do backflips to reload — seriously — and slay whatever ends up on the wrong end of your firearm.

Man, January 18 is a packed day. Capping off at a rule of three, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is also arriving on the Switch.
