Review by Matt S.

I'm all for game developers and publishers bringing back the more obscure older titles for re-release on modern console. Games that perhaps didn't get a fair outing the first time can be "discovered" by people a second time around, or games that proved to be influential or historically important can be re-evaluated as they deserve.

Among the long list of PlayStation 2 and 3-era titles that have yet to make their way to Switch (NieR, anyone?), I can't imagine anyone actually wanted to see Blades of Time as next in line.
