It's not that we're lacking of any new Dragon Quest games, but there have been more spin-off titles to come out in recent history than mainline titles for the series. But, we're not really complaining, because Dragon Quest Builders and Dragon Quest Builders 2 were really good, and the offline version of Dragon Quest X was also good, from what I've heard and read at least. Now, with this latest release, we're a bit less enthusiastic and optimistic of Dragon Quest Treasures, mostly because we've become wary about the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch in delivering high-quality exclusives in recent times.

Still, Dragon Quest Treasures is one of the top games on our list this month because of the game's promising premise - you play as a younger version of the siblings Erik and Mia from Dragon Quest XI in their childhood, and you're transported in a parallel world where treasure and peril awaits.
