Knightin'+ is an adventure game based on formulas of previous generations and while it's an entirely dungeon-based journey it offers a good variety of enemies and a competent visual environment. Unfortunately the game ends up feeling too repetitive and too short. Perhaps an outside world to explore and a better lifespan could make this a more remarkable game but as it is, not many will be impressed by Knightin'+.

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling was made as a tribute to the Paper Mario series and in an attempt to recapture the spirit of the first game of the series. While Bug Fables does not succeed in this purpose, it does deliver a good game, with an addictive combat, well structured plot (and a lot of dialogues), as well as game world that's a marvel to look at. So while the more spiritual goal to pay tribute to Nintendo's series went off the mark, the secondary objectives to make a good game are undoubtedly successful.

With its noir aesthetic and unsettling premise, Liberated gets most things right and will appeal to those who enjoy a good interactive story. It's not without its flaws, namely some technical issues and less than enjoyable quick time events but overall, this is a very welcome arrival to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Indivisible brings together elements of a Metroidvania type of game with those of an RPG and the result is a resounding success. Despite its poorly paced plot, the game's marvelous audiovisual environment, its exploration and combat system and the overall humorous tone of the entire game make this a work that deserves players to put their energy into it, now that it was released in a proper way.

Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche is an unusual game, based on the formula of a shoot'em-up but with plenty of elements of other genres, and which does several things right - its original ideas, humor-filled dialogue and colourful outlook stand out as its main assets. On the other hand, its very short lifespan, high selling price and rather quick way with which it will feel like a done experience will not attract many players to this new arrival on the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

While there are some improvements over the original, and including an online multiplayer is worthy of praise, too little was made to bring the game to our day and age. As such, there are many elements that clearly belong to the day of the original release, as well as to another format and which don't fit with the expectations of players, namely its controls and performance.

It's more accessible to new players, provides a good speed sensation and the career mode is better implemented. However it leaves the impression that it didn't go all the way in its job to improve the experience compared to the original and the result is a game that is inconsistent on its performance and has a visually poor environment.

Space Pioneer is a simple game made for simple moments and while this mostly derives from its origins in mobile devices, there's also little sense of purpose in the game's progress. The local multiplayer mode turns out to be a very good way to extend its lifespan but for solo players, the experience will quickly run out of steam and become too repetitive.

SNK Gals’ Fighters does a fine job at bringing back a 20-year old fighting game originally made for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, with all its features and limits. But even if the game has not been expanded to face up to today's offers, this piece of retro gaming has quite a charming appeal in its simplicity. If only its local multiplayer had been improved with the adding of an online component, that would have been even better.

What Skellboy has in good ideas it also has in flaws, namely when it comes to technical problems and to an unenthusiastic combat system. This adventure game with beat'em-up elements features a good looking art style and an interesting gameplay mechanic but at the same time, performance issues and other elements make it difficult to enjoy beyond a circle of fans of the genre, which limits the appeal of this work on the Nintendo Switch.

The concept of moving furniture out doesn't seem like the basis for an exciting game but Moving Out presents it in a way that will have players sweating and puffing in order to make it far. While its controls aren't always as sharp as they should and not all players will react positively, Moving Out is definitely worth checking out.

Dead or School is an interesting and ambitious RPG with hack and slash elements that features a surprisingly interesting plot and a good, sharp, fun combat system. The game's limitations are obvious, however, and the game's performance isn't always the sharpest but fans of RPGs will appreciate this effort.

Half Past Fate on the Nintendo Switch brings a good mix of a marvelous visual environment and a funny plot which will find a good place with fans of romantic comedies. Other players might find it less appealing, and the game's short lifespan and rather high retail price is more likely to put them off.

The Complex puts the player in the middle of a sci-fi themed interactive movie where the choices in each scene (but not just) will influence the plot development. The game does a decent job at that, keeping the player interested in the story but it would be more enjoyable and welcoming if it featured a flowchart for the player's choices and if its plot got rid of some clichés.

La-Mulana knows how to be tough and demanding but dedicated players will find a game that has an interesting plot, a marvelous visual environment that's inspired on the 16-bit era, an exquisite soundtrack and very engaging puzzles. Not all players will be lured, due to some puzzles leading to frustrating moments but fans of Metroidvania-type games have a real gem here for the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

With an emphasis on local multiplayer up to four people, this is an experience that will deliver a lot of fun, addictive gameplay to those who pick it up. While its content could be broader and the soundtrack could use improvements, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is nevertheless a good choice for those looking for a compelling multiplayer experience.

In Other Waters is a text-based adventure that may not catch everyone's attention at first but the game creates a space for itself with its stunning visual environment, relaxing and immersive soundtrack, and ways of spending long hours exploring and analyzing the bottom of the seas. An enveloping experience with a pedagogical component and which can be played using the Nintendo Switch touch screen is without any doubt a very welcome addition to the console's catalogue.

Mekabolt is a simple and accessible platform game that features a no-frills gameplay and has enough to keep players amused for some time. It's also a rather short experience and doesn't have much to make it rise above its peers, so it turns out to be something more in line with younger players or with those who are not very experienced in the plaforming genre. An effort that does some things right but which doesn't get to the same threshold as its most formidable competitors on the Nintendo Switch.

If it does a good job at delivering a credible MSX experience, Bitlogic also falls behind when it comes to its low ambition, a concept that will hardly catch the attention of most players and a short longevity. While it's a good option for those who want to (re)live the days of the MSX, it's not a game made for a wider audience.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York is a visual novel that follows in the footsteps of a previous game dedicated to a vampirical story and this new chapter on the Nintendo Switch is a marvel when it comes to its gorgeous art style, a skillfully-written plot and its incentives to play again once finished, in order to discover its world with different characters. While its experience is rather short and ends abruptly, fans of visual novels will have plenty to wrap their minds around in the form of Coteries of New York.

Hoggy 2 is the follow-up to a game originally developed for mobile devices and it keeps things simple with its short levels of puzzle-platforming gameplay, featuring accessible mechanics, plenty of content and a level creator. While it can get somewhat repetitive on a mid-term basis, it's a pity that there's no way for the players to share the levels of their own creation, as that would certainly boost its added value.

Deep Sky Derelicts brings a lot of things and two of them stand out: a roguelike approach to exploration and a turn-based RPG take on combat under the form of cards. Along with rich amount of character customization, this makes the game an enjoyable experience, but one that requires some time investment before it bears fruit. Some elements aren't very practical either when it comes to the functioning of the game, but more dedicated players will find their way around.

Pirate Warriors 4 is rich in content and characters from the One Piece animated series, which is bound to satisfy its many fans. It also has a clumsy way of presenting its plot, and has a rather shoddy campaign mode, as well as performance issues and less improvements than the its fellow Warriors games, but while that may not make this a compulsory purchase, it's also not an obstacle to enjoying the game's fun combat, which is indeed a satisfying experience.

This point and click adventure is rich in humor and plot, with a top-notch vocal work and two different control systems, whether it's played on a television screen or on the Switch screen. While its difficulty is sometimes off the mark on some puzzles and some of the missions are too easy, fans of point and click adventures will undoubtedly have a very good time with Nelly Cootalot.

My Hero One's Justice 2 is a title that seems grammatically odd but that doesn't make justice to the colossal amount of content that was included with this effort, providing the player with enough to do for many, many hours, especially when it comes to hunt for rewards. Those less familiar with the My Hero Academia series will find this game less thrilling, namely its less engaging campaign mode and emphasis on fan-service, which ends up limiting its appeal.

With its fun and engaging combat, a healthy mix between hack and slash and RPG elements and an enjoyable rapport between the two protagonists, Darksiders Genesis might be the most fun chapter in the series so far. Despite a sub-par performance on the Nintendo Switch screen and a not very functional map that could be more helpful, this is a game that will most certainly marvel any fan of the genre and which deserves an opportunity by every other Switch player too.

Red Bow's 16-bit era visual environment may easily have it mistaken for an RPG, with a few point and click adventure elements here and there but there should be no mistake that this is a horror game, and it's a good evidence that a good horror game does not require a realistic looking environment to instill restlessness on its players. Although very short, Red Bow's simple gameplay and visual environment, as well as replay value, make this a production that's well worthy of attention.

Ritual: Crown of Horns is a twin stick shoot'em up with a zany plot, a decent gameplay mechanic and an exceedingly high difficulty level that will often have players trying over again and again. The frantic action pace somehow mitigates the game's sense of repetitiveness but a better looking visual environment would be very welcome in a production that is more likely to appeal to longtime fans of shoot'em ups than to the greater public.

Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX lands on the Nintendo Switch as an improved incarnation of a game part of the Dusk Trilogy within the Atelier series and this work does a lot of things right, starting with the quality of its plot and its developed world. Not all works as it should, though, and the game's performance issues and its rather boring final stretch mean that it's below its full potential but RPG fans and Atelier series followers have good reasons to visit Atelier Ayesha on the Switch.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a turn-based strategy game based on the Netflix series which followed up on Jim Henson's 1982 movie and with that said, this is a game that may not reinvent the genre but what it does, does it very well. Thanks to its genuine feeling of immersion in the series' story, marvelous illustrations and overall friendly atmosphere for fans and newcomers alike, Age of Resistance Tactics is another welcome work to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo follows the footsteps of its predecessor and brings forth a fine collection of six shoot'em up games that bring some good old intense action to the Nintendo Switch. With the exception of the one of the games, that has a rather poor performance, all the other titles included in this compilation rise up to a good level of quality at a good price.

Simple but by no means empty, Inbento does not feature any major thrills or breathtaking ups and downs but it definitely provides a heart-filling experience, complete with kittens and a welcoming audiovisual environment.

Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir does a good job at capturing the classic spirit and humour of the comic book series, thanks to its fun dialogues and well polished visual environment, adding to that a marvelous vocal work. Where The Crystal Menhir does not live up to the highest standards is when it comes to its repetitive structure and mechanics, its drab plot and too simplistic gameplay. For players looking for a simple brawler and puzzler experience with the visual environment of the series, The Crystal Menhir is a good option, but for anyone looking for a more in-depth game, it's better to look elsewhere.

A blessing for bringing the original two games with the option of playing with the original art style, the soundtrack, plot and most aspects of its gameplay. A curse when it comes to its contemporary art style, which resembles that of a mobile game, technical flaws that make the game extremely slow and a sense that can make the experience a lot less fun than expected. Something to look into, for those who already know what to expect.

Dusk Diver acknowledges its inspirations and does it right, presenting a slick visual environment and quality animations. At the same time, its too simplistic and repetitive combat system is sub-par, aggravated by fluidity problems that make the experience less enjoyable and the overall sense of linear progression make Dusk Diver on the Nintendo Switch an average effort. Perhaps more time in the development process would have made Dusk Diver a more enjoyable experience.

Save Koch has an interesting game world, features some funny dialogues and is certainly based on some solid ideas. However their execution leaves a lot to be desired: the game pretty much abandons the players to their luck without much guidance, causing a feeling of disorientation where it's almost impossible to know what to do, and its rather arbitrary missions work mostly on a trial and error basis.

The richer plot and content are part of that and the random reward system was a very good bet on stimulating the player's curiosity and engagement. While the handheld experience had potential to take the game in a very good direction thanks to the use of touch screen controls, the small text size on the Switch screen makes it more difficult and there are some combat flaws that don't make much sense. With all that said, fans of the series will find a good bundle of fun in this sequel.

Reed Remastered is a platformer built around a large number of short levels which can attract players with their minimalist but interesting pixel art style, and a potential to be played along short, fun spells. The game turns out less appealing when it comes to its exaggerated repetitiveness, an incoherent difficulty level where some areas seem to be artificially difficult and an overall short lifespan.

Lethis – Path of Progress joins the group of city building games but doesn't quite break it into the higher thresholds. While it has some elements worthy of note, such as the enjoyable chaotic developments that inevitably arise when the city becomes large enough, the game's performance and technical glitches, as well as its difficulties on the Nintendo Switch screen, make it something that ends up falling somewhere along the middle of its job.

Double Cross is a game that is based on some good ideas...but in the end, there might be too many of them to work properly, namely trying to mash too many different gameplay styles together. If the action and platforming sections are enjoyable and turned out right, the detective work moments and the combat sections are too sub-par and the game ends up getting harmed by too many dull moments.

Vitamin Connection, a Nintendo Switch exclusive is a good formula for two players who are looking for a fun, intense action experience. While its solo dimension feels much emptier, the game's lovely visual presentation, variety of levels and gameplay mechanics that make full use of the Nintendo Switch capabilities are certain to please many pairs of players looking for a good time.

If the Warhammer universe is well represented, a weak performance, unbalanced combat system, random tactical component that discards any strategic ambitions and the game's impractical requirements, which demand a permanent internet connection, make the handheld experience near impossible to enjoy and something very difficult to recommend.

Immortal Planet could have been a game to make a great use of an established formula but instead, it turns out to be a disappointment that falls short of expectations in every field. While its combat system has elements that are worthy of praise, the game's sense of exploration is very unsatisfactory and its drab visual environment take all the fun away from roaming around the game's world, not to mention its almost lack of a soundtrack and below par performance.

Just Ignore Them on the Nintendo Switch is a simple, very simple-looking game with a horror theme and one that for such a low-budget effort, carries a certain flair. It's no monumental masterpiece, but it has a competent aesthetic and an environment that puts the player in the right spot. Its longevity, alas, is very short and the game's instructions aren't always clear and intuitive but for what it's worth, Just Ignore Them is not without its charms.

Bear With Me is a point and click adventure game around a plot involving detective work. It succeeds at touching all the main tropes and clichés of this type of stories (maybe even too much), and while its art style is indeed something to look at and its plot is funny, surprising and emotional, the game could do with a more consistent difficulty on its puzzles and with better voice acting.

One Night Stand on the Nintendo Switch consists of a visual novel based on a story of...well, a one night stand. The player will have to navigate with what happens after waking up in a stranger's bed following an alcohol-filled night and the dialogues will help to rebuild the events, leading up to twelve different endings. Unfortunately and for a visual novel, the visual field is rather poor on One Night Stand while the audio component is nearly non-existent but for a short and engaging plot with many different endings, it's a competent experience.

Thief of Thieves for the Nintendo Switch is the closest thing to a comic book adventure in a playable format, with the additional advantage of the console's handheld convenience. Its loading times may feel too burdensome but other than that, Thief of Thieves gets a lot of things right and the game's immersive environment and soundtrack, as well as the fun and engaging missions will make this a fun and involving experience for everyone.

Domiverse is a simple game that displays its inspiration in Nintendo's famous brawler, there's no doubt about that. Fun and engaging, for a while, thanks to detailed characters and a fun game mode that also adds some puzzles to the mix, less outstanding when it comes to its simplistic arcade mode, lacklustre soundtrack and lack of online capacities, which is difficult to understand for a game made thinking of a multiplayer experience.

With an official license that allows the game to feature plenty of real vehicles involved in actual, this will be a good added value for followers of the sport. Other players will find some variety of game modes but not much more that stands out, despite its sharp gameplay. The lack of online multiplayer is a gap and the game features quite a few technical issues and framerate drops that end up harming its performance, all of which make it less appealing to those who are not keen on this kind of sport.

Spirit Roots is a simple, 2D platformer that should not be underestimated. With a very appealing art style and a good level of challenge on its level bosses, Spirit Roots can be quite enjoyable. On the other hand, once the game is done there's not a lot of reasons to pick it up again but regardless of that, it's a very welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Mosaic for the Nintendo Switch is not based on the most exciting of premises, but is that a sin? Not at all, this is a game that chose to focus on the most mundane, repetitive and mind-numbing aspects of everyday life, with emphasis on the bleak, empty loneliness that permeates existence in urban societies. And it works, to a certain extent. It certainly transmits the harsh void that occupies many human lives, even if the game's performance is far from ideal due to its many glitches, bugs and hiccups, which end up harming what by some measures is an interesting experience.

Mars Power Industries is a simple and friendly puzzler that keeps things within a very accessible range - while not very overtly ambitious or grandiose, it knows its job and does it well. Its simplicity extends to the audiovisual environment, which is far from breathtaking but luxurious sights and sounds on their own don't make a fun game. Mars Power Industries is a welcome addition to the puzzle game sector of the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Heroland could have been something of a greater stand. Instead, this attempt at making a kind of an RPG simulator turns out rather dull and repetitive. Not that the ideas here are bad in any way, and the game's dialogues and character models are something to praise but unfortunately, the way the game's concept is implemented leaves a lot to be desired and the experience loses appeal quickly enough.

Galaxy Champions TV for the Nintendo Switch is a fun twin stick shoot'em-up that brings a lot of frantic, intense action with a sharp sense of control. It also chokes the player with its rapidly-rising difficulty level, which quickly reaches overwhelming heights with many frustrating moments. Were it not for that challenge imbalance, Galaxy Champions TV could become an instant classic within its genre but as it is, it's a fun but excessively punishing work.

Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX follows the footsteps of the Azure Striker Gunvolt series and does so in a very fun and competent way. Thanks to its fluid and simple controls, frantic gameplay and defying bosses, this is a perfect work for those who enjoyed its predecessors and inspirations, even if it has some rough edges when it comes to its boss fights and soundtrack.

AO Tennis 2 on the Nintendo Switch sets expectations high but for a tennis simulation, everything falls below the required standards. While the career mode and the player creation tool are interesting, the game's cast of players feels disconnected from reality, while the gameplay feels too demanding and the graphics are simply out of date for the current time. Adding some performance issues to that doesn't make AO Tennis 2 any better and in the end, what could have been a good tennis simulation falls into a more disappointing side of the spectrum.

Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha is a compilation of six classic shoot'em-ups that brings to today's players an experience of older times. The six games included are overall fun and enjoyable, even if they don't all provide the same satisfaction but the options included make this effort an adaptation that fits well on the Nintendo Switch, especially if played with the console's screen in a vertical position. Nonetheless, more extras and additional content would be more than welcome.

Its experience ends up suffering from a control system that makes no use of the Nintendo Switch touch screen, however, and the game's interface is everything but intuitive. Beyond that and its unusual premise, which is likely to keep less experienced players away, Megaquarium is worthy of a look.

Super Weekend Mode on the Nintendo Switch seems to suggest it is a fun experience for some weekend gaming time, and that is absolutely correct. With its unpretentious and unambitious ways, Super Weekend Mode is competent enough to allow for a few fun hours. It doesn't venture into a complex experience but that's hardly a deadly sin.

From a game with this ambition, it's expected that the plot will be engaging and interesting but that's not the case with SELF. Rather, its soundtrack stands out the most and it's well worth listening to. Overall, SELF is a strange experience, one that may be worth a try but for which expectations shouldn't be too high.

Drawngeon: Dungeons of Ink and Paper certainly looks interesting, with its (literal) pen and paper visual environment. Once the action gets going, however, the game turns out a bit too frustrating when it comes to the controls and the overall gameplay experience, which feels rather repetitive and simplistic, even if there is still some fun to draw from it.

StarBlox Inc. goes for a mix between puzzler and brawler that while not entirely unprecedented, is certainly welcome in the Nintendo Switch, where puzzle games had been going through a period of stagnation. While its audiovisual environment isn't the most stimulating, the game is very fun and involving and its multiplayer component adds an additional layer of enjoyment to the experience.

Clouds & Sheep 2 is a rather funny effort. Simple, colourful and good for quick distractions, especially if children are around, it has a good dose of amusing action. It's certainly no hardcore, in-depth experience and amidst quick and simple games there are more elaborate options on the Nintendo Switch but those who just want to poke and throw some sheep will be thankful for Clouds & Sheep 2.

Demon Pit is an action-packed and simple 1990s-reminiscent shooter that will revive memories of times when games were less complex. The game does a good job at creating a good, retro-inspired environment and at providing a captivating experience. Nonetheless, Demon Pit would certainly benefit from the use of motion controls. as well as from being able to turn off its default auto-aim option.

If My Heart Had Wings stands out as one of the best visual novels in the Nintendo Switch, thanks to its marvelous audiovisual environment, emotional story and character development. While its progression might feel too slow for less experienced players and the possibility of using the touch screen would certainly be very welcome, If My Heart Had Wings knows how to transmit feelings and to hold the player's attention for long periods of time.

Where this work turns out to be less impressive is on the variable quality of some of its writing, which doesn't keep a constant level, and some of its endings turn out to be rather puzzling. While this is no obstacle for those who enjoy visual novels, the lack of touchscreen support is difficult to justify on a system like the Nintendo Switch.

Thea: The Awakening brings the background to less covered topics, with the Slavic mythology acting as the overarching theme instead of the cliché Norse or medieval settings, and that's something to praise. What Thea doesn't get right is that by trying to be too many things at the same time, it doesn't quite succeed at any of them and the result is a game that while not without its value, often feels too overloaded, with mechanics that trample each other. Nonetheless, Thea still has something going for it, it just doesn't fully materialize.

SIMULACRA does not play like the greatest work ever made but that doesn't mean there's nothing to draw from this mystery FMV adventure. While the gameplay feels rather shallow, the plot is compelling enough to keep the players entertained and involved with the hints and twists that are found along the way and the feeling of satisfaction when coming across a clue or reaching a different ending do help SIMULACRA to have some merit of its own.

FoxyLand does not try to reach new heights, it's a simple platformer that's not afraid to present itself as such and it's a competent game at what it does. While it may please those looking for a quick experience, its lack of depth, short lifespan and simplistic nature makes it less enjoyable on a longer term basis and those looking for a more involving experience should take their expectations elsewhere.

Bee Simulator shows that it is possible to be both fun and educational in an effort that is fitting for players of all ages. While there are flaws to this experience, namely on the level of its too sensitive controls and rather lacklustre settings, the overall gameplay is relaxing and can provide some enjoyable albeit short time around a Nintendo Switch.

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine starts from an original and even intriguing concept - the idea of basing a gameplay experience on telling stories is nothing short of something fresh. Unfortunately the way it was translated into this game turned out to miss the mark and the result is an experience that despite its well written plot and interesting stories does not provide an engaging gameplay and will mostly lead to long, dull moments whenever stories are not being told.

Dead End Job is a twin-stick shooter which may strike a chord with a small group of enthusiasts, partly for its simple and fun combat mechanics, but unfortunately the game features way too much repetitive and dull action. Other than that, some of the items are real surprise boxes and the auto-aim feature can make everything more frustrating, which all contribute to make this a difficult game to truly enjoy.

The game features a pretty solid gameplay experience, a very good use of the HD Rumble feature and a remarkable amount of content to explore. Its roguelite component means the sections are always different, which can sometimes lead to errors in the procedure, and the exploration will force the players to use the map way too frequently but Sublevel Zero Redux has enough elements to appeal to both fans of the genre and beginners alike.

The Touryst, a relaxing adventure, if that's possible to do. An adventure with dungeons and puzzles in the background of a lovely summer holiday, with gorgeous graphics and a varied, relaxing gameplay is what comes in this package and it works remarkably well. The game is short and it skips the whole epic side of adventure games but The Touryst is definitely an exquisite gem which more than deserves a chance.

Jamestown+ is a Nintendo Switch conversion of one of the finest shoot'em-ups of its generation. With its addictive, frantic gameplay and fun cooperative mode, Jamestown+ is a delightful game but those who have already played it elsewhere will find only marginal benefits to the experience.

Rebel Cops was designed with fans of tactical action games in mind, namely those looking for new approaches to the genre - the game's open missions and incentives to take them in varied ways testifies to that. On the down side, its punitive and merciless difficulty risks alienating other audiences and a poor plot ends up harming the experience for those who enjoy some background story with their games.

Riverbond brings a fun experience that mostly shines on its co-op component. Thanks to its very simple and accessible mechanics and difficulty, this game is not meant to be seen as a tough challenge but rather as a relaxing, enjoyable work which stands out especially on multiplayer and which will quickly grab the players' attention.

The game's level of customization and how it welcomes the players certainly plays in its favour, even though its audiovisual environment is nothing to write home about and there's no online component. Still, Super Street: Racer does get some important points right and fans of arcade racing and customization will find some value in this game.

While the action can get repetitive too fast and its difficulty level is a tad too artificial, the game is an overall fun experience with a good lifespan, especially on multiplayer up to four players, which is where Castle Crashers Remastered really shines.

Cat Quest II is an action RPG filled with fun and well-humoured moments, featuring a colourful world and with a simple combat system and even if some sections can get repetitive and there's not much to do after the main campaign is over, this is an overall relaxing and welcome game that only adds another fun option to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

WRC 8 lands on the Nintendo Switch in something which can be seen as a mixed bag. If the gameplay experience and the accuracy of the competition are something to praise, the game's version on the Switch is significantly below par and the performance is even more aggravated when played on the console's screen, while the lack of multiplayer is impossible to understand. A game that's mostly targeted at racing simulator purists but which might not appeal to everyone.

This space-based shoot'em-up is all about frantic action and while the experience is rather quick, there's quite a few customization options available and its gameplay mechanics are simple enough to provide something accessible to fans of space shooters. Those not too keen on the genre should look elsewhere, though, as this work caters almost exclusively to those who enjoy frantic shootings in space.

Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands puts a strong emphasis on aspects that most adventure and exploration RPGs don't touch upon, such as gathering resources, farming and cooking. If this aspect works well and gives the game a particular charm, there are other aspects where Stranded Sails does not stand out in the same way, namely its shallow combat and some repetitive moments.

EarthNight does not stray clear from its origins, this is a simple and unpretentious endless runner that originated in mobile platforms and it does a decent job at that. While the gameplay experience is rather limited and does not elevate EarthNight to any celestial levels, those who enjoy endless runners will find a good time with this work.

Neo Cab brings a visual novel about a grim story of unchecked corporate power to the Nintendo Switch. Overall, the result is quite positive and the game features relevant social commentary, well written dialogues and a series of varied and interesting characters. With a good incentive for players to return to the game, Neo Cab's main sin is that it's rather short in length and with a main plot that could be more developed.

Type:Rider is an original and even surprising experience. While not a classic action-platformer or even a classic puzzle game, Type:Rider's main assets are its originality, game design and informative character as it takes the player through a compact version of the history of typeface. Pity it cannot last longer and offer a more user-friendly format for its very informative texts.

Away: Journey to the Unexpected looks very promising at first and while it features a good mechanic of character bonding and some fun moments and a very good audiovisual environment, its plot is rather disappointing and the gameplay feels shallow. Overall, the game's experience is short of memorable and gives off the impression that this game could have gone much further.

As far as action RPGs go, Yaga is a simple but competent effort. Thanks to an intuitive gameplay and to its art style and plot, Yaga can certainly answer to those looking for a simple but fun experience. Pity that it cannot fulfill more of its potential, as its combat is too superficial and the exploration too linear, while its luck system needs a better calibration and the HD Rumble feature should be set aside altogether.

Reventure consists of a simple but by no means plain adventure which performs very well on the Nintendo Switch handheld format. While at first the adventure seems to follow a very standard formula, it soon becomes apparent that there's a lot more to Reventure than it looks at first and while the game doesn't stand out for its visual environment, its gameplay mechanics help it carve its own territory amidst its adventure game peers.

With a low selling price and a batch of creative, challenging bosses, Polyroll is too short and features a gameplay that sometimes ends up feeling unintuitive. Overall, Polyroll ends up in the middle of the road and doesn't particularly stand out amidst its peers.

For a game based on detective investigation in a noir background, Tokyo Dark Remembrance seems to have gotten off the track in several ways. There are good ideas here and the game's plot and soundtrack clearly stand out as two of its best assets but the execution has several flaws and its art style does not match the game's purpose. Tokyo Dark Remembrance is a mixed bag that needs polishing in several aspects but which is based on mostly right principles.

With a gameplay mechanic that forces players into deciding on ethical and moral dilemmas, an interesting and involving plot and a top notch presentation, We. The Revolution only suffers from some adaptation issues to the Nintendo Switch, as some of the controls are not intuitive and the size of the text font is too small for the Nintendo Switch screen.

Just Dance 2020 keeps the formula of the Just Dance series that so many people love and that's the game's main asset. It's also its biggest liability, as the game shows too little in terms of new, relevant content to stand out compared to its closest predecessors. This is a very fun game with new, updated tracks but for those who subscribe to the Just Dance Unlimited service, owning Just Dance 2020 will turn out to be redundant.

With a 1990s environment and some attempts at innovating an RPG's fighting system, YIIK has something to go for it, but unfortunately this gets rather lost in a game that is overall too frustrating and confusing. With its inconsistent art style and gameplay and a main character that's impossible to relate to, YIIK could have explored its real potential in a much more enjoyable way but as it is, it's mostly an unfulfilled work.

Seal the Deal does not revolutionize A Hat in Time and as a DLC, it's very short and its additional difficulty level doesn't always feel like it improves the experience. On the other hand, this DLC can be seen as a gift for Nintendo Switch players who so patiently waited for it, so on that note Seal the Deal is a welcome addition and should not be judged too harshly.

Valfaris does not have to make perfect sense to be a good game and while its plot is rather basic and its gameplay doesn't always feel perfectly fluid, there's enough to this chaotic action platformer with a sci-fi and heavy metal theme to make it stand out. Thanks to its marvelous visual environment, metal-based soundtrack and variety of action moments, Valfaris is nothing short of a fun delight for fans of absurd, violent and chaotic action.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has the right to a Nintendo Switch version many years after its original release, but age does not affect this Star Wars classic in any negative way. While the initial part of the game is rather cumbersome, after thirty-something minutes the player will get a significant push into the spirit of the saga and the game's plot, light saber duels and soundtrack will make a splendorous job at fully inserting the fans into this work.

Raging Loop is a visual novel that stands out not just for its plot but for the way it is structured and how the player interacts with it. Some of the endings feel out of place and the game's art style falls short of expectations when it comes to the backdrops but the overall experience turns out to be satisfying and the game is crafted in a way that plays perfectly in the Nintendo Switch.
