    Oddworld: Soulstorm
    Oddworld: Soulstorm is rather a mixed bag. On one hand there's plenty of great gameplay mechanics, some innovative gimmicks, and a dramatic story to boot. But at the same time you'll have to deal with a boring color scheme for most of the game, that pairs with some unintuitive and chaotic levels.

    Outriders
    There are plenty of shortcomings in Outriders - from the gameplay standpoint and to the massive number of technical hiccups. But even so, the deep and rewarding role playing system can make up for some of it. If you love the looter-shooter genre, then wait for Outriders to get a price drop, or simply try the game with Game Pass.

    Narita Boy
    Narita Boy is a great debut project from Studio Koba, and hopefully not the last. A world steeped in love and detail deserves your attention.

    Bartlow's Dread Machine
    If only the developers took more time to tune in balance and camera, and made characters more distinguishable, than we could have a true indie gem. But even now the game is quite good.

    Balan Wonderworld
    All in all Balan Wonderworld is an archaic action-platformer with tons of shortcomings in terms of level design and overall presentation. If you love the genre, you would probably be repulsed by this game, instead of welcoming it with open arms.

    Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse
    Although the episode ends with an interesting cliffhanger, the game itself turned out to be mediocre, so we have no desire to wait another couple of years for the second episode to appear.

    Xuan-Yuan Sword VII
    Xuan-Yuan Sword VII offers a dramatic story based on Chinese mythology. Of course, the drabness of battles and long roads to some places can be tiring in the final part of the game, but in general, Xuan-Yuan Sword VII deserves an attention.

    BPM: Bullets Per Minute
    Developers at team Awe Interactive managed to catch rhythm-shooter hype with a real finesse, and showing others how to make games in this new subgenre.

    Harvest Moon: One World
    Harvest Moon: One World turned out to be an extremely weak project that is of interest only to the most loyal fans who are not afraid of disappointment.

    It Takes Two
    It Takes Two is probably the biggest surprise of this spring. While the world is still in a pandemic lockdown, and games are getting delayed left and right, Josef Fares gives us an insane adventure that is full of both drama and cool gameplay ideas.

    Monster Hunter Rise
    Monster Hunter Rise is something of a middle ground between Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Generations, and yet not something that incorporates best aspects of both titles. Rise is a great action game, that brings back some questionable mechanics, and for some reason completely forgets about some interesting old ideas.

    Sir Lovelot
    Sir Lovelot is a very short and cute game that will allow you to relax after a hard day's work and have fun. Super Meat Boy for beginners.

    Apex Legends
    Apex Legends remains an excellent battle royale game. However, we're strongly recommend you to skip it on the Nintendo Switch.

    Unto The End
    You can dissect this game into a million pieces and completely lose all the magic its has. Or you can look at it as a whole, and find yourself a beautiful tale of war, life, and death.

    Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood
    Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is a low-budget effort with a cool looking blood effects, but not much else. So don't expect anything good from the visuals or the overall narrative.

    The Walking Dead Onslaught
    The Walking Dead: Onslaught could've been a good replacement for Arizona Sunshine if it didn't have a forced grinding problem and weapon balance issues.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
    Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning retains all the major flaws of an original game, but if you want to dive into the interesting world of Amalur, buy this remaster.

    The Nioh Collection
    The collection for the PlayStation 5 is the perfect gift for Hidetaki Miyazaki's fans, who are waiting for an Elden Ring by FromSoftware right now.

    Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
    Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is a great remake. You can tune the gameplay in any way you want, be it a very hardcore journey, or an enjoyable ride, that is perfect just to admire great visual presentation and classic gameplay mechanics.

    Bravely Default II
    It's hard to call Bravely Default II a masterpiece, but it's not trying to be one. Yet still it's a solid game, full of classic JRPG charm. And perhaps it's a great reminder of why we love the genre in the first place.

    The Uncertain: Light at the End
    The Uncertain: Light at the End is a very rough project with a weak plot, outdated animations and a myriad of bugs.

    When The Past Was Around
    When the Past was Around is a very atmospheric and warm game about relationships, experiences and the fact that love does not go away after time and years. A very positive experience for those who are depressed after a breakup or are experiencing the melancholy of a cold winter.

    Wintermoor Tactics Club
    Wintermoor Tactics Club is a nice tactical title with some charming characters, minimistic visual style and an average plot. If you're new to the genre, chances are you will have a great time. But everyone else, especially hardcore X-COM fans, would probably find Wintermoor a bit to easy for its own good.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV
    If you already invested more than 500 hours to the previous instalments of Trails of Cold Steel series, you would definitely enjoy seeing familiar faces and you would love the overall experience. But as a newcomer you should probably try earlier games first, just to see if you want to get invested in the whole franchise.

    Persona 5 Strikers
    Persona 5 Strikers is a true sequel to Persona 5 and a real gift to fans of Atlus' masterpiece.

    Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
    Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury for Nintendo Switch effectively handles two important tasks: introducing new players to the classic game that came from the Wii U, as well as pleasing hungry fans with new great content. Definitely a must-play for all Super Mario fans.

    Little Nightmares II
    Little Nightmares II is like a wonderful gift for fans of the original game, but you'll not find any really important innovations here. In addition, controls are not very comfortable. However, the shortcomings are more than compensated by the atmosphere of horror and hopelessness. Tarsier Studios' creation can become one of the most vivid gaming experiences of 2020.

    Cyber Shadow
    There is not a single original idea in Cyber Shadow, but it's a great game created with love for the classics like Ninja Gaiden.

    Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy
    Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy is a worthy sequel with a cool cast of characters and an interesting story to boot, which is great for all the newcomers.

    Exit the Gungeon
    Most of the content, including music, items, and enemies, is directly transferred from the world of Enter The Gungeon, making the product even more secondary than it previously seemed. On PC, Exit the Gungeon has already experienced several patches, after which it became more playable, but it is still noticeable that this is a quickly molded game, released in the hope of hype around the first one and high sales.
