    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.

    Neon Chrome has qualities going for it, such as its procedurally generated levels, a wide variety of weapons and upgrades and a welcome difficulty level that forces the players to constantly change their tactics. It also feels like a game that could have gone much further, as its plot doesn't really take off and its audiovisual component feels worn out and adds nothing remarkable to this production.

    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.

    Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is a rare sighting in the Nintendo Switch catalogue when it comes to its genre. That being said, it keeps too many elements from its mobile device origins which don't belong to a console. While its multiplayer and career modes are something to praise, the game also features too long loading times and a sound environment which feels too neglected. Overall, Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is too expensive for what's on offer.

    Moco Moco Friends is not be the perfect Pokémon substitute but while it may get repetitive on the short term, it makes up for this in terms of artistic quality and in the experience of collecting the creatures known as Plushies. Its joyful and fun environment, riddled with humour all the way through, is set to strike a chord with one segment of the audience.

    The gameplay mechanics of Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stones remain attractive but its new content could have been better implemented. The plot line becomes confusing as well and there are better ways to explore the additional contents of this chapter.

    If the game does a very good job at satisfying the cravings for a short, immediate and fun experience, its occasional control flaws and unpleasant-sounding music could have received more attention. None of that, though, is an impediment for a game that does its job right when it comes to fulfilling its mission.

    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.

    It provides some welcome sense of humour, its cartoonish graphical style is very adequate and the voice work is fantastic. Nevertheless, it is far from being a groundbreaking game due to some issues with the way the plot progresses, as well as technical stability problems and very long loading times.

    Cursed Castilla does not try to open new paths, this is a simple, intense, action game based on extremely tough games of past ages. This is a simple effort that's fun and very challenging and doesn't go beyond that. As Cursed Castilla tries to follow the examples of some tough-as-nails classics, it also does little to set itself apart and as such, this fun and simple game is also rather limited in what it brings.

    Featuring much more of a plot than its peers, Transcripted can start feeling repetitive after a while, despite its interesting concept, but that shouldn't put away those looking for something rather original.

    Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is a 2D fighting game based on this world famous series that has been a favourite of many players in their 30s and for those looking for a simple and accessible experience, Battle of the Grid does a good job. It does less well when it comes to its visuals, as they feel like they are not using the technical capacities of the Nintendo Switch as they should. Furthermore, its DLC model where players have to buy each additional fighter will put a strain on the game's low selling price advantage.

    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.

    Bloo Kid 2 is a fun and competent platform game which perfectly captures the spirit of late 80s and early 90s platformers...perhaps a bit too much, as it resorts to blatant copying of some of the biggest names in the field.

    Armello is not trying to bring down the giants of strategy games but that doesn't mean it doesn't stand on its own feet and Armello features plenty of options, an attractive visual environment and a competitive level of difficulty. On the downside, its plot isn't very appealing and its tutorials and rules can feel excessive but the game offers enough to keep players enjoying themselves.

    It features a very good graphical component by most accounts and its gameplay mechanics are compelling enough…but it lacks the extra flair to make it stand out and its lack of originality make it yet another generic shooter in the market.

    Simple...very simple, accessible and with just enough plot to justify its existence, Ocean Runner is surprisingly addictive in the way it captures the player's attention. While its RPG elements could use some polishing, especially on the use of currency, the game can be a very relaxing experience and its user-friendly controls make it an option that should be considered by all those looking for a simple but addictive game.

    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.

    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.

    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games brings back the formula of the series that joins the two universes with an Olympic background. While the series has improved as far as customization and integration with the Miiverse are concerned, it starts to show some fatigue regarding the lack of depth of its large contents, while the absence of motion controls feels strange in some events.

    1-2-Switch displays some interesting ideas and reveals part of the potential uses of the Joy-Cons as more than mere controllers. However, its steep price and relatively uninteresting content of several of its minigames, as well as the focus on multiplayer in detriment of single player, end up harming what could be a much more attractive window into the future uses of the Nintendo Switch.

    3D Ecco the Dolphin is definitely a fun and unique game, even by today's standards, although it is clearly dated in some aspects. This version of the game is probably the definitive one, especially due to the inclusion of a saving feature, which makes this the best chance to date to experience the game at an affordable price.

    Knytt Underground is an odd game, and certainly a polarizing one, as some will greatly enjoy its ambiance and exploration-heavy gameplay, while others won't be able to overlook its terrible story and dialogue sections.
    • 46 Metascore

    Using personality traits instead of experience points to improve the character stands out, as does its combat injuries system. Less appealing though, are its rather repetitive nature on a short term basis, as well as its frustrating combat system and sub-par art style.

    Beat Cop is a fun and zany action game that puts the player in a cliché 1980s action movie setting and does a fine job at that. Its missions can get confusing and repetitive at certain moments but the game's mechanics and environment are noting short of delightfully funny and are certain to keep the players laughing and enjoying the experience for some time.

    Tiny Barbarian DX is clearly a tribute to the 8 and 16-bit era of action platformers and it's a competent game at that, thanks to very sharp controls and a good lifespan. Where it fails is on its charisma, or lack thereof, as its levels turn out to be too generic and its difficulty level can be way too high for many players, not to mention its relative lack of content beyond the main campaign mode.

    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.

    Scribblenauts Unlimited on 3DS may not present some of the innovations that we have seen in the Wii U version, but it is still a solid step for the series.

    Turok 2: Seeds of Evil returns, two decades after the original release, in what is an overall improved experience that leaves behind hardware limits but respects the original's elements and design. Investing in new controls is also something to praise but it's impossible not to notice that the game's concept feels outdated and that beyond the public of the original, it might be difficult to convince anyone else to put their hands on this version.
