Devious Dungeon features a fairly interesting progression system, along with a healthy variety of enemies for the roguelike game that it is. Alas, it fails to deliver on the rest and the result is a game that is way too simple and unambitious for its own good, without any factors that redeem it from an overall repetitive and uninteresting experience.- FNintendo

Flashback brings back one of the 1990s 16-bit classics in a perfect nostalgia exercise that also includes some interesting new elements. Its gameplay remains as demanding as it was, which will delight Flashback's fans and possibly frustrate more recent players who are not used to this kind of old school difficulty.- FNintendo

Go Vacation tries to be a fun summer game and it certainly has some elements going for it, such as the exploration possibilities and the multiplayer options. It's also impossible for the game to hide its origins in a previous generation and after a while it becomes apparent that Go Vacation puts quantity above quality, as the experience will soon enough become less compelling than players might think.- FNintendo

Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a marvelous gathering of four magnificent games of the Mega Man X series, one of the best 2D platform series in the history of gaming.

Hollow Knight is a game everyone should play. It's not just a new pillar of the Metroidvaina genre, but on the industry as a whole. It is the best example of why the indie scene is so great and important. Experiences as special as this one are very rare. Hollow Knight is one of the best executed games in recent years.- FNintendo

This rhythm game with an emotive plot features a marvelous soundtrack, as it should for a rhythm game, and a gameplay that includes several good ideas, as well as some flaws which along with the game's exaggerated price and its clear origins of a game made for mobile devices and which have not been properly improved make this a game that falls short of its real potential.- FNintendo

Runbow is back to a Nintendo console and this edition for the Nintendo Switch brings a series of welcome elements, such as a simple but addictive gameplay, additional downloadable content, plenty of characters from the indie games world and online capabilities.

Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is part of a series of games that had not seen a new iteration for several years and when compared to its predecessors, this certainly feels like an appealing, refined and fun experience.

Shining Resonance Refrain brings an RPG from the previous generation into the Nintendo Switch catalogue and while the game is full of content and features well-crafted characters and a simple battle system, it also fails to fulfil all expectations due to its cliché-ridden plot and less motivating exploration.

Blossom Tales stands as a good example at how a game with a rather simple origin can provide a surprising amount of content and a world to explore, even if it does not reach the monumental peaks it would like to.

Iro Hero is certainly a very challenging and tough 2D shoot'em up whose similarities with other old-school classics of the genre will not go unnoticed. It's also a very hardcore experience, tailored mostly to players looking for a challenge of the kind, rather than for the general audience and this is where its biggest weakness lies.- FNintendo

ATOMINE is a twin-stick shooter for the Nintendo Switch and as it may suggest, it does not venture into any new paths for the console. While its plot is original, its gameplay is less so but it's competent, nevertheless. With a minimalist visual component and a good variety of weapons and enemies, ATOMINE has enough to keep the player's attention for a while, until the overall feeling of repetitiveness takes over.- FNintendo

West of Loathing is something particular. An adventure RPG with a bare simple art style and full of humour in a wild west setting...and it works, anyone who enjoys a good dose of humour, plenty of text, an absurd plot and who doesn't mind the rather uninspired combat system will have enough content here to go through the entire game and even to forget about the main story and get lost in all the side quests.- FNintendo

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition is a definitive version of a game that despite starting to show its age, it still offers a wide amount of content and a great variety of characters, as well as a top notch soundtrack. The game focuses a bit too much on the series' fans, however, and leaves little else to those unfamiliar with the One Piece universe, meaning it will not enlarge its audience by a whole lot.- FNintendo

This direct port of a previously-released game does not add anything remarkable other than the HD Rumble feature and as such, it remains the same magnificent game as the original: with a beautiful visual environment and very well implemented gameplay mechanics, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a wonderful game of the Metroidvania style that will keep players exploring and collecting for hours on end.- FNintendo

Shape of the World is unlike most games out there. Rather than a structured, narrative-driven or action-driven plan, Shape of the World proposes something more akin to a sensory experience and one which is quite successful at plunging the player in a different state, thanks to the game's eerie abstract beauty. Where Shape of the World disappoints is in its length and dimension, which feel a lot less ambitious than it could be.- FNintendo

Legendary Eleven tries to capture the spirit of football's previous eras in a moment when the World Cup is about to start and while the intention is good (it certainly manages to do part of it), the execution throws its ambition on the ground. Due to a control system that makes the players feel like they are not in control at all and to a series of bugs and other technical flaws, the experience of Legendary Eleven is harmed beyond the levels of what is acceptable and the result is a game that is completely inadequate to what it proposes.- FNintendo

For a game that is supposed to fill empty moments with fun bouts of play, Poisoft Thud Card does the opposite.- FNintendo

Thanks to its cooperative mode, its lifespan and relatively low price, this is a game that won't be out of its depth in any good Nintendo Switch collection, even if it somehow feels like a victim of the amount of 2D platformers on the console.- FNintendo

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is essentially an expanded version of its predecessor and one which does a very competent job at bringing the Pac-Man experience back, with all its frantically addictive gameplay that made the very first game an immortal classic, now with a cooperative multiplayer experience. While some more additions would be appreciated, this edition is certainly very welcome to the Nintendo Switch catalog, where it will find its place among the fans.- FNintendo

Old Man's Journey is an interesting work with a captivating plot and a magnificent visual component that will immerse its players in a unique experience. Its lifespan may feel too short but the quality of the game's design and the challenges presented will be more than welcome by the players and make Old Man's Journey a game that has gained its place in the growing catalog of the Nintendo Switch.- FNintendo

Bridge Constructor Portal does a very good job at blending the two series and at portraying the world of Portal in the Bridge Constructor series. The game features well defined gameplay mechanics and a long lifespan, as well as some unexpected humour, which makes up for its rather high price compared to the version available for mobile platforms.- FNintendo

The content is short on both quantity and quality, some of the minigames are just badly designed, one of its game modes is way too repetitive and dull to provide any fun and the soundtrack adds nothing to the experience. As far as party games are concerned, Scribblenauts Showdown is not worthy of the players' dedication.- FNintendo

Castle of Heart may seem appealing when looking at its still pictures but once the game starts moving, a more unpleasant reality kicks in: it's hard to control, the difficulty level is forced and at the same time, unchallenging and the game suffers from several design flaws that make this experience really difficult to enjoy. While its visuals are decent, this is not an enjoyable game to play.- FNintendo

Fear Effect Sedna marks the return of a well-regarded series from the early days of the 21st century. Featuring enjoyable animation cut scenes and a quality soundtrack, this Nintendo Switch version ends up losing to its counterparts when played in handheld mode, as many of the details become too small to be visible on the screen. Also the game's plot does not attempt to make a bridge to new players, who won't feel a connection with the game's story and its strategic component is less interesting than expected.- FNintendo

The Alliance Alive is a successful effort at justifying why the 3DS is still relevant. Thanks to its wide and varied world, well implemented sense of progression, in-depth combat system and rich visual component, this is an RPG that should feature in a great number of 3DS systems, even as the console is past its prime.- FNintendo

It doesn't fulfill all its promises, however, as the lack of guidance can make the experience more frustrating and there is not enough variety regarding the puzzles to keep the players entertained for a long period of time.- FNintendo

Fantasy Hero ~unsigned legacy~ tries to contribute to the RPG segment of the Nintendo Switch catalog and it features some interesting elements of progression but overall, its action gets repetitive and dull too quickly early on. The game's visuals and sound also betray its age, meaning that it's not in a position to provide a pleasant audiovisual experience either, which only gets aggravated by several flaws that should have been corrected.- FNintendo

Toki Tori 2+: Nintendo Switch Edition is the ultimate version of the second chapter of the series. Thanks to its beautiful art style and soundtrack, extended lifespan, overall gameplay improvements and fine-tuned difficulty progression, there is very little standing in the way between the player and the many good, fun, involving hours around this game. Truly a very recommended title for any Nintendo Switch owner.- FNintendo

Thanks to a very well crafted plot and soundtrack, this game adds something new and welcome to the catalog of the Nintendo Switch. While its combats could be more involving and the game's price is too steep for what it is, this is a very well designed piece of work that deserves its place.- FNintendo

Featuring an interesting premise and a rich, dynamic plot, Lone Wolf could improve its control system, which doesn't fully use the console's capacities, and often feels too close to its original version made for mobile devices than to a game designed for a dedicated console.- FNintendo

Not all works fine and it should be pointed out that there are several elements on a technical level where the game does not go as far as it could and which end up harming the experience, while the game rhythm too feels a bi broken at certain moments.- FNintendo

Darkest Dungeon is an ambitious game that features impressive details, a very complete and thorough atmosphere and a complex gameplay. Its experience ends up getting harmed by the arbitrary factors that come into play on certain moments and the overall difficulty level can be quite hard in the beginning of the game but there is no mistake in regarding Darkest Dungeon as major title within the indie scene.- FNintendo

Wanderjahr TryAgainOrWalkAway is based on the JRPG style and adds a large combat component to it, bringing along a strategic component, a fun and simple adventure and a commendable soundtrack. Not everything hits the right spot, though, as the controls are in need of a reshape, the game's plot has no sense of direction and it often feels more like the kind of game to play on a phone or on a tablet than on a gaming console.- FNintendo

Mad Carnage is simple enough to get into, which by itself is positive. Thanks to its cartoon art style and lack of technical issues, the game's first impressions are overall positive but unfortunately, this does not stand for too long, as the levels quickly feel repetitive and the gameplay mechanics end up being too simple for its own good, resulting in a game that is more dull than it should be.- FNintendo

This is a competent game that does its job right and creates something that can be enjoyed on a rather simple level. It does not fend off a feeling of repetitiveness, though, as eventually the players will start feeling that they are doing the same actions over and over again.- FNintendo

The Fall Part 2: Unbound brings back the point and click genre to a game with a captivating plot that features characters with distinct personalities and a series of puzzles that will make players wonder how they could not solve them before. While the control system could use some improvements, Unbound is an overall involving experience that will strike a chord with many players out there.- FNintendo

Its physics system is worthy of praise and the visual environment fits well within the game but after a while, Baseball Riot becomes too repetitive and the game features nothing that makes it really unique or that sets it apart from other like-minded games.- FNintendo
