The father of all the metroid/vanias returned in a surprisingly powerful form after a long wait. Although the genre has shifted over the so many years, Metroid: Samus Returns has dealt with it bravely and has risen to the top.

The War Within is a very solid expansion that delivers the expected dose of new content alongside some welcome innovations. Most notably, the account-wide systems that enable seamless alt gameplay are a highly appreciated change. Delves are fun, and both raids and dungeons work well. While it's still early to fully assess everything, it’s clear that The War Within is worth recommending and playing.

Even though it could give a much better performance, it's still an outstanding JRPG for all the fans of the genre. It is a high-quality gaming title that will let you dream for nice long hours. You just have to forgive its bugs sometimes.

Not only a great remember of old times but above all a great dungeon crawler filled with puzzles and challenging combat in large levels. Dungeon Crawl Strikes Back.

Excellent RPG beats both of its predecessors and offers the unspoiled entertainment for hundreds of hours. The sophisticated world of Dragon Age finally comes alive in all aspects and incredible character and story detail fully compensates a bit overused plot about saving the world.

This Switch 2 upgrade is exactly what it appears to be: big, playful, imaginative, and somewhat unnecessary addition. The foundation of one of the best 2D Mario games remains extremely solid, and the new content adds interesting challenges, though somewhat puzzlingly focuses primarily on multiplayer.

A game of two halves. One of them is an amazingly detailed and well-told sci-fi story, the other a fun, strategic RPG. And as a whole it works perfectly.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom offers a fresh perspective on the series, boldly blending traditional elements with modern innovations while finally giving Princess Zelda the lead role. Her unique abilities bring a new layer of creativity to puzzle-solving and combat, encouraging exploration with inventive solutions. Despite minor technical issues and a cluttered Echoes menu, this new Zelda installment takes the franchise in a promising direction.

A very stylish RPG from the masters at Obsidian is certainly not a disappointment, even though we’ve seen better from this very studio. The story is a weaker point, as are the dull fights, but I love the environment of the terraformed planets. This is a game to be savoured several times over.

A massive sequel with a combat system that’s richer and more fun, with a great protagonist, and with a wonderful galaxy to explore. The story could be better, there are some issues of a technical nature, but it’s beautiful, enjoyable to play – and it lets you build a lightsaber of your dreams.

Starfield is an unrivaled large and comprehensive space opera. Although it plays too much like Bethesda's previous games and the exploration of the planets is boring, it entertains with interesting stories and looks truly otherworldly.

Hotline Miami is proof that it is possible to create a fresh and addictive action game, even with the game's emphasis on retro. At the same time it evokes truly human feelings the modern-day shooters die trying to deliver.

Fast, simple and funny variation of football with devices shines especially in multiplayer.

Doom: The Dark Ages delivers fantastic action and an excellent arsenal, but all attempts at story, a more open structure, and superficially modern filler feel more like a forced detour that actively prevents the game from becoming the pinnacle of the series.

A brilliant game that’s all about conversations. You get stuck in a time loop which sounds potentially frustrating but actually isn’t because you don’t have to repeat yourself in any way. It’s just a shame that the game’s a bit ugly and the puzzles a bit trivial.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is exactly the kind of return the legendary third installment deserves. Its visuals and attention to detail are breathtaking, from weather effects and mud clinging to your gear to the gradual wear on camouflage and scars on the protagonist’s body. Delta stands as the ultimate version of one of the greatest games ever made and the current pinnacle of stealth-action.

A well-crafted post-apocalyptic strategy that initially feels a bit clunky, but over time reveals its stronger aspects. Once it hits its stride, the odd menus and slow start become forgivable.

This new adventure with a new hero in an old environment hits all the right spots. The focus on Miles’ family was a correct choice, plus there’s the obvious benefits of the new console’s power - and you can even enjoy the game on the PlayStation 4 with very few compromises! It’s just a shame that it’s a bit short.

A different, but superb Forza title nonetheless. The game does not harm the series name; on the contrary, it expands on stiff racing circuits with a dense public traffic panorama. Even though it has its flaws and the game shows compromises in it, as their first attempt Playground Games own this specific sub-genre. However, no daydreaming to you Playground Games, you need to drive away from your competition, especially from your Turn 10 fellows.

Strategy game from the classic of the genre is not based on nostalgia, but on the flawless turn-based core around which better and better game is evolving even months after the release.

A feast for your eyes and ears that will satisfy you with fun physics and a touch of the supernatural. The story could be a bit better, the metroidvania features are surplus to requirements and some side missions are a drag, but the atmosphere is top notch - and the gameplay doesn’t lag far behind.

An interesting and superbly crafted connection of two arcade legends for your phone. You will have a fun, but how much it would be? Average technical solution and no power given into your hands are problems that can´t be forgiven.

If you have nausea just by looking at a dog's shit in a park, stay away from the South Park game. However, you'll miss a shitload of fun that's been wrapped into a high-quality RPG – and what's more, with a story overshadowing a majority of adventure games (and games in general) that pretend to be serious ones.

The excellent stealth game is equal in everything with its legendary genre predecessors. Must have for all Commandos-series fans.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is proof that some games do not sink in years. The remastered edition brings along with its uncommon gaming experience solid audiovisuals that beautifully clear out pointed edges of the thirteen years old title.

A masterly-made platformer and a tribute to 8-bit classics at the same time. It looks great, it is playable even better, it is challenging but also clever. It presents a pleasant challenge for old tirailleurs – the young ones are peacefully allowed to take a peep at time when replaying a game did not mean you would automatically finish it.

A fantastic pocket-sized turn-based strategy game that you can play almost endlessly thanks to its rich content. Wargroove 2 captivates with its beautiful design, new mechanics, and an excellent roguelite Conquest mode. While I might opt for more complex strategies on PC, it's definitely among the gems on Switch.

Technotopia is a minimalist city-building strategy game with a quirky visual style that successfully blends with the mechanics of Reigns series. Its gradually unfolding story keeps you engaged and can be completed in a single evening. The game surprises with a cleverly implemented roguelite system, occasionally frustrates with its reliance on randomness, and ultimately disappoints with the lack of any non-story mode. However, for its modest price, it offers an enjoyable few hours of entertainment.
