Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs - Royal Edition will grab the player's attention thanks to its plot and marvelous humour featured throughout the game, reinforced by the marvelous voice acting and visuals. Unfortunately its combat system does not follow suit and the experience ends up being less accessible and enjoyable than it should, aggravated by immensely long loading times.

Nairi: Tower of Shirin is an interesting point and click proposal for the Nintendo Switch, one that features a captivating art style, an involving plot and a fluid control system. Its accessible difficulty level and rather short lifespan make it more recommendable to those looking for a simple experience who will find many reasons to enjoy themselves with this piece of work.

This remaster of the two Baldur's Gate games features content that's well enough for hundreds of hours though it's impossible not to notice how dated the two games come across. While this remaster essentially targets experienced players and doesn't try to conquer any new audiences, the result is a job well done that will certainly fit well with the fans.

Its world, plot and characters are vivid and a pleasure to discover with a background of lovely visuals and a very fairy tale-like environment. Not all is a success though, and several aspects had to be sacrificed, which means those expecting a more hardcore and orthodox RPG will be disappointed.

Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure does not aim to reinvent the wheel and it certainly couldn't aspire to that with its struggling camera and often imprecise jumping, which make the experience more time-consuming than it should, but this doesn't erase an accessible plot and long-lasting gameplay, once the game's dynamics set in.

The well-designed sandbox world, along with its destruction physics and game modes make this a thoroughly enjoyable and fun game for anyone, while some occasional sight control problems can make the experience occasionally problematic but Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-Tered is not any less of a good game because of that.

Semispheres is a game that can be looked at from many views. It features an overall relaxing atmosphere and allows the players to enjoy themselves for a while before fading out...but it doesn't stand up to a major challenge and falls behind when it's about pushing further, which may feel as a shortcoming for some.

The control system needs some improvement, though, and the voice acting is far from the best ever done, but the narrative and exploration suit well those who are looking for a sci fi adventure in the Wii U's eShop.

Mighty Gunvolt intends to be a tribute to the 8-bit era of Mega Man...and quite a fitting tribute it is, all the conventions of the 8-bit action game are accurately portrayed in this bonus giveaway which comes along Azure Striker Gunvolt.

Star Ghost is a simple shoot'em up with a twist that brings a high quality soundtrack and some very polished elements to the Nintendo Switch catalogue. While it would be good to have online leaderboards, Star Ghost will satisfy the fans of the shoot'em up genre.

Snake Pass brings some very welcome and challenging serpentine fun to the Nintendo Switch, along with memorable audiovisual worlds that will fill the players' eyes and ears. While its camera doesn't always work perfectly, there is no obstacle to its snake-like gameplay and to its snake approach to puzzle-solving that will stand in the way of Snake Pass becoming a memorable game.

Picross e6 brings a significant increase of the amount of puzzles to solve and while in many games, bringing more of the same can make them dull, in the case of Picross it's actually welcome. On the downside, the innovation that was present in previous titles seems to be less prevalent on its sixth iteration.

While its simplicity is welcome, it also means the game brings nothing really new but that doesn't mean Grid Mania does not feature a good quality-price relationship or that it's not a welcome game in the Nintendo Switch line-up.

This individual effort by the name of Unepic triggers a craving for exploration in an action-platform and adventure style, akin to the early Castlevania games. There are shortcomings and points which require a greater polishing, but the elements are all here to become an instant hit with its audience.

It's very well designed and it can help those without programming skills with their first steps in this world. It also does its job with very well implemented touch controls, but it will not be a significant challenge to players who already have programming skills and its 38 levels might feel too short.

Disney Art Academy is a pleasant drawing tool that will surely appeal to a younger audience who recognizes the characters immediately. While the lessons do not go too much in-depth, they are well structured and the possibility of copying the works to the SD card will let the players' drawings be remembered for posterity.

Immersive, involving, disturbing but also beautiful, Smoke and Sacrifice puts the player in a world where RPG and survival horror elements come into play in an effort that will allow the exploration of an immense world and which will keep players mired in its adventure for long, enjoyable hours.

Just Dance 2019 arrives just in time for another holiday season and it shows that it's still the best dance game on the market. It also has very little to offer that is new or innovative and while its musical catalogue keeps growing and the game allows the players to have access to this ever bigger legacy, there are no new game modes or anything that would make a veteran discover something new. Orthodoxy notwithstanding, it's still a fun game and welcoming for newcomers.

A marvelous plot and very involving world co-exist with unnatural controls, generic puzzles and a sub-par level design, as well as with gameplay mechanics that are not fluid enough to create momentum. Players who can overlook its flaws will be able to enjoy its qualities but others will find it more difficult to adjust themselves.

Despite the requirement of an annual paid subscription to enjoy an additional set of 200 hundred songs beyond the 40 tracks that come with the game, this version of Just Dance 2017 has the added incentive of working as a portable as well as a home game, which will certainly create its own space for players who enjoy the kind of contribution that Just Dance brings to friendly gatherings.

Shu is a platformer that while short, is a magnificent piece of gaming to discover and explore. Its wonderful audiovisual component, a difficulty curve that gradually increases the performance demanded from the player and a capacity to keep the players holding on to it until the very end make this a title that is more than worthy of its praise.

Zombie Incident is another welcoming sight of a retro-style game that is being released on the 3DS eShop. Its gameplay is addictive and the visual and sound environments fit perfectly within the era it pays tribute to, but several elements can make the experience frustrating.

While the game is indeed varied and its visual environment is very well designed, it can often become very repetitive as it compels the player to repeat missions again and again.

Steel Empire brings back a 1990s 16-bit shoot'em up with an added 3D effect. It's a classic shooter of its day whose gameplay benefits from the three dimensional effect of Nintendo's handheld. Where Steel Empire falls short is on its length, which will disappoint many contemporary players who expect something longer as far as its lifespan is concerned.

Swords and Soldiers returns to a Nintendo console and the result is a fun and addictive effort that gains a new level of amusement on multiplayer, though it could really use an online component. Thanks to its well-designed strategic component and to its simple and accessible gameplay, Swords and Soldiers on the Nintendo Switch can be a very alluring and enjoyable experience.

Rise: Race the Future is a racing game that reverses the trend towards complexity and realism and exchanges it for simplicity in a work that is mostly centered on driving skills for rather short but demanding challenges. Thanks to its remarkable art style and good selling price, Rise: Race the Future is a good choice for fans of racing games but the lack of a multiplayer experience is its biggest shortcoming.

Featuring stunning production values and an immense amount of content, this is a diamond for the fans of the series, while those not into Dragon Ball might not feel like they are the target of this game's appeal.

This is a game with a great variety of quality puzzles, an interesting plot and whose audiovisual environment is bursting with quality, even if the difficulty level is not on par with that of previous games in the series.
