    Just Dance 2018 keeps its predecessors' gameplay mechanics, which work wonders at parties and other gatherings and the track list is varied enough to provide some entertainment during several gaming sessions. This does not mean, however, that it does not need some innovation, preferably in the form of new game modes.

    Its 104 puzzles will keep the players entertained and embroiled around its goals while the level editor will allow creative freedom to prevail (despite the lack of a sharing method). But those less prepared should be warned, hazumi is a very tough cookie.

    Super Rocket Shootout has a surprising concept that works in a way that's competent enough, despite its lack of a much needed online multiplayer mode. Thanks to a plot that's filled with humour, to a simple but addictive local multiplayer and to an overall gameplay that is rewarding and free of unnecessary difficulties, Super Rocket Shootout could really benefit from doing away with its compulsory tutorial mode and with a longer lifespan.

    Rain World is an indie experience that does not try to hide its difficulty level but which will no doubt find plenty of fans warming up to its very well crafted world and art style. Its gameplay may feel frustrating at moments but Rain World is overall a very involving game that will get players to lock their attention on the game.

    Disney Magical Life may seem like it follows the path of other similar games but it creates its own personality as it grows. It’s always a joy to see the most memorable Disney characters in an interactive form and the exquisite way they are portrayed only adds to the game’s appeal.

    NES Remix is a toast to the good old times. It succeeds in evoking memories of the NES classics, and it shows, in a certain way, how a collection of games can be a good substitute of some of the titles available on Virtual Console.

    Team Sonic Racing is a fun, competent and well executed kart racing game that could benefit from being more ambitious but overall, it does very well what it proposes and acts as another good example of a game that gathers a cast of characters from one of SEGA's most popular universes.

    Featuring some fun and accessible challenges, the game also resorts to reusing the same elements a bit too much for its own good and in some of the areas, the gameplay is unnecessarily compromised by design flaws, which is a shame. Still, Pool Panic offers some good reasons to pick up and have a fun moments, more so on multiplayer.

    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.

    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.

    A playground, rather than a game, is what could be used to describe Tomodachi Life. That’s what it’s all about, creating and importing Miis, watch their lives unfold while helping their fulfill their needs. Not the most groundbreaking in terms of socialization games, but it provides some amusing moments. Alas, a god-game this is not and the experience is never immersive or rewarding enough.

    My Time at Portia is without a doubt an ambitious game, with plenty of places to go and a myriad of things to do. So it only feels frustrating to see that its long loading times can harm the player's experience and its overall presence on the Nintendo Switch feels like a PC game that was copied onto a console format, especially when it comes to its controls, as this turns out to be a game which only big fans of simulations of this kind will truly enjoy.

    Terraria is a large and content-packed free-roaming experience that will bring dozens or even hundreds of hours of gameplay to those who commit themselves to it. Sadly the 3DS conversion had to let go of some aspects that make Terraria a more appealing game on other systems and this portable incarnation is also affected by several problems in its visual performance.

    Earth Atlantis looks alluring, thanks to its unique art style it conveys the format of an old navigation chart, which is somewhat unusual for a bullet hell sidescrolling shooter. That being said, it could have certainly invested in its other elements, as the game lacks the needed sense of enthusiasm to keep the players interested for long. If the bullet hell style was grand once, it needs a bit more in order to stand out nowadays.

    Little Inferno exists in its own space and it certainly excels at that. The game's underlying critique of consumerism and of, why not?, the gaming industry adds to its unique charms and after the first minutes of play, Little Inferno turns out to be much deeper than what a superficial view could suggest. Pity that the game's length and selling price are disproportionate to its age and presence in other platforms.

    The Sexy Brutale is a witty, creative and inviting game that brings together adventure, puzzle-solving and repeating time cycles to form a piece of gaming that is as funny as it can be disturbing. While it could use less trial and error and its freezing moments are a bit too much, this is certainly a pleasure to explore.

    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.

    Swim Out is a simple, straightforward and unpretentious puzzle game that has no plot or narrative whatsoever and that features a very minimal aesthetic. This in no way means that Swim Out cannot do its job as a puzzle game, which it does quite well thanks to its unusual approach to puzzle games, which will prove enough to give players some hours of fun.

    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.

    Hexologic has a simple job and it does it effectively enough. This puzzle game picks up the concept behind Sudoku and advances it to a more fun and compelling level, helping to build a fun and accessible game while not taking its premise too far. It could be longer, as it feels too short at some moments but it's undeniable that fans of puzzle games will have a very fun time thanks to Hexologic.

    LEGO Jurassic World brings what is expected from the LEGO series to the world of Jurassic Park in an effort that features plenty of humor, amusing moments and a co-op mode that proves just right for a fun two-player experience. Even if there are no significant new elements in this work, LEGO Jurassic World certainly does a good job at providing an enjoyable experience like other LEGO games have done.

    Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition is based on a good idea and its gameplay is certain to attract players for some time. It also hits a wall at one moment, as the countless deaths and necessary repetition will push many players away and risks being finished mostly to fight frustration.

    Dezatopia is a sidescrolling shoot'em up that features plenty of action but alas, it's plagued by a dreadful performance and an unintuitive control that takes time to get used to. The visual environment is very sub-par as well, and even though this is less relevant than the gameplay and performance, Dezatopia's soundtrack is far from enough to give any reasons of investing in this production.

    Onimusha Warlord is a classic that is easily recommended for fans of survival horror games with a samurai-related plot component. Not too reliant on its plot, the gameplay is accessible and fun, featuring some well thought out puzzles and a good environment, despite its rather short length. If anything, it makes the player want more from this delivery and hope the next one will be more ambitious.

    Unholy Heights' unusual background, coupled with its addictive dynamics and comical details, provides the basis for a game that will be difficult to let go of once the player is emerged into it.

    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition treats the player to a very good and competent blend of exploration and strategy which coupled with its simple but compelling plot and art style helps to make a game that can easily keep the player concentrated in the game for a long time. Overall, the experience could only improve if Mutant Year Zero : Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition featured a multiplayer mode.

    While it may feel too simple at moments and its gameplay not as varied as it would be expected, it's a good departure from the Pokémon world for one of its most recognizable characters and one which will be a pleasant surprise for many.

    What Robonauts lacks in charisma and story-telling it more than makes up with its gameplay. Intense, fast paced and with a demanding difficulty level, Robonauts will keep players close to it for a long time and its recipe of adding platforming action to a shoot and run game works like a charm.

    FIFA 19 brings the second iteration of the world's most popular football game series to the Nintendo Switch and this delivery improves on its predecessor when it comes to gameplay and competitions. It does not go all the way, however, when it comes to visual performance and to the AI's behaviour, not to mention the disappointing lack of some gaming modes. While FIFA 19 does its part to bring football back to Nintendo platforms, it still needs to go further to become truly indispensable title.

    Butcher is an overall fun and competent side-scroller with appealing looks. Pity that it quickly feels somewhat repetitive and doesn't offer enough variety to ensure a more sustainable lifespan but this doesn't stand in the way of making Butcher a fun experience.
