Here’s what Metacritic had to say about both of the Nintendo Switch titles:

XEL

A 3D, open-world platformer set in a puzzling world that mixes science fiction and dream components, Xel might get a couple of focuses for visuals and its unique story. Yet, don’t confuse Xel with Zelda: The previous is so unpolished and disappointing that couple of gamers will have a good time playing it. What’s more, the issues aren’t simply on Switch: A PC variant got comparably unfortunate surveys.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition

An “enhanced” port of a fairly good 1997 point-and-click sci-fi adventure game set within the same universe as the first Blade Runner film, this remaster was not the hit that the original was.
