Mario Tennis: Aces (Switch)

This is my first Switch review in some time.  My son bought this game with a little help from his brothers and I even threw in $5.  I'm not a huge fan of the series, and while I enjoyed Tennis games in the past (Virtua Tennis probably being my fave) I can't find enough here to keep coming back.  I "hoker doker" my kids (a term we use for pummeling someone in game) so there's not much replayability there.  Online seems dead years after release.  Pass.

Omno (Xbox Series X via Game Pass)

I have a real soft spot for stylized indie games with a "swooping" soundtrack (for lack of a better term) and Omno marks all the checks for what I like in a game.  Can be completed in a few hours?  Check.  Unique art style?  Check.  Swooping Soundtrack? Check.  Elements of Mario and Zelda?  Check.  I loved this game and cannot recommend it enough.  Text won't do it justice, check out the trailer below.
