Welcome to our monthly feature on the best Switch eShop games of April 2024. This month has been particularly exciting with a range of new releases and hidden gems that have caught our attention. We have compiled a list of top games that our staff and contributors have voted on, and we are excited to share our winners with you.
April was a month filled with surprises and exciting releases on the eShop. From Level-5’s return to Game Boy aesthetics to the comeback of cult classics, there was no shortage of delightful games to explore. One notable mention that didn’t quite make our top three is Freedom Planet 2. This sequel has surpassed its predecessor in every aspect, from level design to visuals, earning a stellar 9/10 in our review.
Planet of Lana, a cinematic platformer with stunning visuals and a captivating storyline, also captured our hearts with an 8/10 rating. Fans of Studio Ghibli are sure to appreciate the beauty and charm of this game. However, the top spot for April goes to Botany Manor, a game that combines inventive puzzles with magical elements to create an addictive and enchanting experience. Despite its short length, Botany Manor received a glowing 9/10 review and was a standout title for the month.
In a change from previous months, we are now including the Reader’s Choice vote directly in our eShop Selects feature. This gives you the opportunity to have a say in your favorite eShop release that we may have missed out on. Don’t forget to cast your vote and stay tuned for the winner in our next feature.
At the end of each month, the Nintendo Life staff votes on their favorite titles from a selection of games released exclusively on the Nintendo Switch eShop. These games must have been reviewed by our team and must have been digital-only releases for that month. Staff members assign points to their top three choices, with the game receiving the most points earning the top spot for that month. This rigorous process ensures that we present you with the very best games available on the eShop.
Overall, April has been a fantastic month for eShop releases, with a diverse range of games catering to different tastes and preferences. Whether you’re a fan of platformers, puzzles, or adventure games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to seeing what May has in store for us and can’t wait to share more exciting eShop games with you in the coming months.
