    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is what you can expect from a remake that rescues a gem of traditional psychological horror. As a representative of the genre, it keeps the player in constant tension through both its unsettling soundtrack and the grim atmosphere of a rural Japanese village. Its dark plot and the ability to guide the protagonist's sister carry a deep emotional component. Although it is locked at 30fps, it graphically improves all its aspects with great results.

    ProtoCorgi is a very adorable Shoot 'Em Up that has a charming protagonist. It has some great ideas, and levels that handle a lot of elements and effects on the screen. The campaign is missing essential content and the level editor is very limited.

    Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are two classics that capture the traditional Pokémon essence, arriving on the Nintendo Switch with rather sparse enhancements. Fundamentally, they are the exact same games from 2004, featuring only the most minimal of modern tweaks. That aside, they remain two classics from the franchise's golden era, now available on the Switch.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is one of those games that best pays homage to the movies. Being on one side or the other will be just as fun, albeit with certain drawbacks. However, it falls short in gameplay and content. It will catch our attention a couple of times and that's it.

    Soul Hackers 2 does its best to distance itself from its sister series Persona but with more simplified mechanics. We have more freedom when carrying out activities and it has a good battle system. It may seem very simple or have no substance, but it's still a good JRPG game.

    Wuchang: Fallen Feathers brings its own unique flavor to the crowded Soulslike genre without reinventing the wheel. Its atmosphere and intriguing mechanics are part of what makes this title stand out. However, it still needs polish in the technical department, and the limited enemy variety holds it back. Even so, it’s a game worth keeping on your radar.

    Princess Peach: Showtime! It is a game that is fun but only for a while. It has good mechanics, concepts, and a mix of genres that only works well when it sticks to the platform genre. Some of the transformations are interesting, others do not fit at all or were not well worked out. Graphically, pretty but it can't maintain a stable 30fps performance.

    SD Gundam Battle Alliance is for those fans who know the series very well. It is fast-paced mixed with role-playing elements but some aspects like the camera will not be to the liking of many. It will make us spend a lot of time improving our units and trying to get the one that is our favorite.

    Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a simple game to control that will keep us entertained raising a monster to put it to the test against other opponents. Its simple mechanics makes it an affordable game, unfortunately this combination is double-edged.

    Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac brings back this 2000s classic with everything you’d expect from a remake: updated visuals, reimagined levels, multiplayer mode, and plenty of collectibles. It’s a stronger effort than the first remake, featuring sharper graphics, fresh mechanics, and meaningful additions. While the difficulty isn’t much of a challenge, the game’s replay value makes it easy to keep coming back.

    CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a demanding and challenging game for its genre that will hook us from the first moment. It has a unique gameplay and customization options. It does not reinvent the genre but it is quite replayable.

    Creature of Ava has a relaxed and unpretentious gameplay for those who like the adventure genre. At the beginning it is entertaining then it becomes repetitive due to the mission system. Visually speaking, it is a beautiful game, but it needs more polish.

    Harvestella is a game that fans of Farm Simulators will love, the game has more elaborate action mechanics. it can be slow at the beginning but as you progress you will see that under that layer there is a very deep game. If you're looking for something different this might be your game.

    One Piece Odyssey passes the test by making the leap into the turn-based RPG genre. Fans of the series will be delighted with this story with a new story arc. It has interesting mechanics but can feel very easy at first. It gets more interesting as we go along, and it's great to see the characters perform their signature moves.

    LEGO 2K Drive is not at the level of a LEGO game, it feels very empty and boring after a few hours. The sound and graphics could be better, also not one of all the technology of the PS5 in a correct way. It does not feel like an original game, the most valuable thing about the game is the multiplayer mode but it is not enough to cover up all the bad things that the game has.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl stays true to the series, offering a challenging experience filled with moral dilemmas, tough decision-making, and demanding but rewarding gameplay. However, the game's current state might pose a hurdle for some players due to some issues at the moment. While some initial bugs have been addressed, further improvements are expected in the future.

    Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song -Remastered- will take us through a world of eight main characters with different points of view. It is a game with complex systems especially for fans of this role-playing genre. It brings certain innovations as a remaster but it is not a perfect game.

    Metal Eden aims to carve out its place in the FPS genre with a highly vertical design that takes players to a unique cyberpunk world. It has enough elements to stand out from the competition, offering fast-paced, straightforward, and enjoyable gameplay. However, performance issues and underwhelming visuals keep it from truly taking off. Still, it delivers a distinct experience for fans of the genre.

    Layers of Fears maintains the original vein with its psychedelic horror and immersive storytelling, but falls short in many ways. The game introduces a new generation of more demanding graphics and cannot compete with recent games. For players who have already played the previous games it won't be a big deal, but it might attract new players.

    Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a charming game that touches on several genres but focuses more on platforming and puzzle solving. It is not a pretentious title but it goes beyond delving into the story of Nunu and his Yeti friend. With a story that highlights friendship, we will be at the controls for about 5 or 6 hours. If we know what to expect from the game, we will like it and even more so if you are a fan of the franchise.

    Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree delivers a charming story, lovable characters, and gameplay that blends Roguelike elements with village-building. Its dual-character system adds a unique twist, offering light but engaging combat and the option to forge your own weapons—though the crafting can feel tedious and unintuitive. Some mid-level environments fall a bit flat, but the exciting boss battles make up for it.

    Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is a game aimed at those who like to be challenged. The controls can work against us but it is nevertheless enjoyable for individuals who enjoy pushing themselves.

    Darwin’s Paradox! is an attempt to bring stealth and suspense to a 2.5D platformer with puzzle-solving and touches of humor, which has turned out mostly well. Its core premise of controlling the octopus and its innate abilities is one of the main hooks of the game. Although it doesn't offer anything that hasn't been seen before, it is a title that deserves a chance.

    The high level of sentimental value brought by a trilogy of games that was an essential part of 90’s pop culture uner a solid artistic direction sees itself held back by technical issues around modern controls that makes the game frustrating and borderline unplayable.

    Salt and Sacrifice is the sequel that tries to be better than its predecessor but doesn't quite succeed. It is still a challenging game that mixes two genres like Soulslike and Metroidvania, without leaving aside its desire to resemble Monster Hunter.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake can be considered as another movie of our fluffy friend since it has the same original graphic level of the animated show. It is entertaining in the story as in the gameplay. However, the game feels very easy, since it is focused on a more childish public that does not want to complicate itself with complex mechanics.

    Otxo is an interesting mix between John Wick and Hotline Miami but it is more frenetic with challenging moments. Its monochrome graphics can confuse us at some point. However, it is entertaining with a critical story that can feel repetitive after a while.

    One Piece Odyssey for Nintendo Switch is a port that keeps all of the original game's enchantment including all the post-release content. Despite poor graphics, fans of Eiichirō Oda's series will find this a worthwhile option.

    Freedom Wars Remastered is a great opportunity to revisit or discover a cult classic that blends frantic action with an intriguing social backdrop. While it’s not a perfect game, it offers countless hours of excitement, especially when playing with friends.

    Another Code: Recollection has the two classic games in a more modern and simple version adapted to the Nintendo Switch. The first half is the most interesting one, while the other half has some issues and is very predictable, plus the controls are not very precise. It has good clever puzzles and its plot of revelations is sometimes interesting.
