Review: Gear.Club Unlimited (Nintendo Switch)

November 22, 2017

Gear.Club Unlimited/Nintendo Switch/Racing Game/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. One of the genres that the Nintendo Switch is going to struggle with is racing games that are more serious in tone than Mario Kart. It has nothing to do with the power of the console, but rather, the way it’s designed. Specifically, it lacks analogue…
