    King Oddball manages to be unique an interesting amidst all the lookalikes. Thanks to its variety, different game modes, progression and well designed difficulty curve, King Oddball does a very competent job at keeping the players entertained and even if it will not convert the non-fans of the genre, it will be a good company during short gaming sessions.

    Lumo is a fitting tribute to isometric platform games which honours its retrogaming references with a progressive and well adjusted difficulty curve, as well as plenty of references to classic titles of years gone by. While the fixed camera may cause some issues in specific moments, the overall experience is nothing short of pleasant and enjoyable, whether on short or long gaming sessions.

    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.

    88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition features plenty of variety in terms of characters and comical overtones that are certain to become the target of the players' affection. What it doesn't do so well is a creative level design, as well as the way the player's characters die and how the game handles their loss of all of them.

    Rocket League for the Nintendo Switch is a successful adaptation of a game that brings a simple yet enveloping gameplay which truly stands out in multiplayer. Thanks to its enormous range of multiplayer possibilities and an exceptional online functionality, Rocket League is set to become one of the finest multiplayer experiences available on Nintendo's newest system.

    Being too short and lacking additional elements to make it stand out, JYDGE feels like its efforts have ended somewhere halfway along its journey and the experience is much less interesting than it could really be.

    Wulverblade is a welcome return of the beat'em up genre, this time accompanied by a plot that goes far beyond the genre's conventions and a unique art style that makes the game stand out among its peers. Also impossible to miss is its difficulty level, as it's going to destroy the chances of every player who is not skilled and determined enough to lose countless times before finally finishing the game.

    Doom on the Nintendo Switch is a beast that does not disappoint one bit. Thanks to its magnificent campaign mode, consistent and solid technical performance and to a memorable soundtrack, the newest version of one of the granddaddies of the FPS genre makes a killer impact on Nintendo's latest console and deserves a great deal of attention from every Switch player out there.

    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.

    Spellspire may look simple and unassuming but any attempts to underestimate it should be quickly discarded as this typing game reveals itself to be addictive, long lasting and far from an easy experience.

    New Style Boutique 3 – Styling Star may not seem like it at first but turns out to be a surprisingly fun game thanks to its immense content and customization possibilities. While some of the dialogues can get too long and unnecessary and the game may leave out several segments of the audience, New Style Boutique 3 is a proposal that deserves some attention and dedication.

    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.

    The game is indeed fun on multiplayer, while leaving the single player mode feel somewhat abandoned but overall it still feels like it's a collection of rather superficial minigames. It allows for some fun but it doesn't really grab the player's interest on a long term basis.

    Super Ping Pong Trick Shot is exactly what it says: a game based on trick shots with a ping pong ball. Everything is simple here, perhaps too simple regarding the game's presentation but the puzzles are well designed and despite two out of its four control systems being virtually useless, the game can provide a limited amount of fun.

    While it may get repetitive at times, it's a pleasant experience that features an open world which can be explored in a fully non-linear way and ultimately, a welcome addition to the fast growing catalog of the Nintendo Switch.

    Sonic Forces may have created some hype but unfortunately, it mostly falls flat on its face as it quickly becomes obvious that this game is an exercise in disappointment. While the action runs smoothly whether on a television screen or on handheld mode, the game's short and unimaginative levels, the absence of gameplay mechanics that had become a staple of 3D Sonic games, the unreliable controls and the mediocre soundtrack all add up to a very flawed game from which a lot more was expected.

    With the challenge lying mostly on the difficulty levels and on the game modes, Chess Ultra performs remarkably on all fronts thanks to its variety of game modes, its difficulty levels adjusted to the players' skills and high quality audiovisual environment, with magnificent attention to detail.

    Skyrim on the Nintendo Switch brings everything that made this such a grandiose game and adds the additional portable quality of Nintendo's system as well as some new elements to the game's plot. Thanks to its immense content and open world, it's possible to spend over one hundred hours exploring Skyrim's incredibly vast lands and while the game starts displaying its age, this is without any doubt a highly recommended title for adventurers and those wishing to explore a massive fantasy world.

    It's at relaxing while advancing along the evolutionary scale that Sparkle 2 EVO performs best, thanks to its simple design and to the implementation of the game's evolution and survival concepts. As a more competitive piece of gaming, it does less good as the matching mode is a bit of a disappointment and the game's actions often feel inconsequential to the player.

    Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon are the best entries of the Pokémon series on the 3DS, acting as the series' finale on the Nintendo handheld and representing everything that is good and remarkable about Pokémon. Full of content and creatures to catch and featuring a marvelous audiovisual component, Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon are absolutely essential for all 3DS owners.

    Thanks to its remarkable character development, well written dialogue and overall quality of the plot, Oxenfree is certain to strike a chord with fans of story-driven games, even if its length is rather short but that ends up being minimal when faced with the game's surprising developments.

    Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle has decent Arcade and Score Attack modes and the idea of playing the same plot with different characters is worthy of praise but the fights quickly become repetitive and dull, its audiovisual component is a throwback to fifteen years ago and overall, the game just feels uninspired.

    While it could feature more puzzles and there are some visible English language mistakes, this is a game that most fans of the visual novel genre will surely appreciate.

    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.

    Monopoly for Nintendo Switch is an accurate representation of the famous board game and this version can be played either by just one or up to six players and even if it doesn't add anything new to the formula, it can still be make for an interesting time. Unfortunately an unexplainable error leads to enormous loading times which seriously harm the experience and for which there is no excuse on a game with this price.

    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime starts from an unusual plot and goes on to become a remarkable game on the Nintendo Switch catalog. Thanks to its fun and polished gameplay and to an experience that can be thoroughly enjoyed whether on multiplayer or by a single player, this is something that can grow on any player and warm up their hearts to the gameplay.

    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.

    The first season of Minecraft: Story Mode is a good opener of what is to come. Despite a somewhat passive gameplay and some fluidity breaks, this is a pleasant and alluring experience that will appeal to players beyond the Minecraft fan base, with extra points going for the game's excellent voice work.

    League of Evil is simple and competent enough. While it gets the basics right, it doesn't go far enough to become memorable or to stand above its peers. The growing catalog of platformers for the Nintendo Switch make this game a less appealing choice and its confusing level editor make League of Evil a game that can be easily overlooked.
