Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a competent platform game, full of ideas and funny characters.

The best possible version of what still is an RPG from more than a decade ago. There's also some new content for people who need it.

If you are a fan of the Tales Of series this is a golden chance: one of the finest installments of the series is now available in the glory of HD, and despite Dawn of the New World fails to keep pace with its bigger brother, Tales of Symponia alone is worth the price of this collection.

Excellent graphics and a very good combat system are stained by a story component that is subpar. A shame, because Everspace 2 could have otherwise aspired to the heights of Freelancer.

More mass and definition for one of the best looking console game on the market. The control system is not yet on the same level, though.

Project CARS 3 says goodbye to the ambition of being a full sim and drives fast to a safe simcade haven, made of an old-style career mode, car porn and linear progression. It works, it's a fun solid experience and in multiplayer even shines, but somehow the new identity struggles a little bit to find a proper balance.

A good improvement over the first Vermintide and overall a very engaging multiplayer experience.

Albeit lacking in story, White March Part 1 offers a plethora of new content in items, combat and character customization.

Hunt Showdown is a good alternative for fans of competitive and hardcore online fps. It's engaging, intense and immersive to the point of nervous exhaustion. Its eccentric personality doesn't make it a game suitable for everyone, but for the same reason those who appreciate it will do it viscerally.

Endless Legend is a masterpiece in every conceivable way, save for the AI. If the devs could fix the hole, we would have a serious contender to the crown of the 4X genre.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a stand-alone DLC that slightly slows down the Dishonored 2 gaming formula with convincing and exciting results.

It’s ugly, but it’s also a brilliant strategic game developed by a talented and experienced team, Intelligent Systems: give it a chance if you’re a curious fan of the genre.

If you can get past the first hurdles and go beyond the initial disorientation, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter proves to be a very good and atipic adventure full of charm, mystery and exploration.

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner M∀RS is (still) the best mecha videogame.

Dead Rising 3 on PC has got higher resolution and more details than the Xbox One version, but also some frame rate issues if you don't have a beast of a PC. It still is a very good third episode for the Capcom series.

Transistor is a nice little adventure, an emotional one, with remarkable art direction and an interesting (even if somewhat unbalanced) combat system.

Genesis Noir is a sublime trip through the history of the universe. Feral Cat Den did a terrific job in terms of balancing scientific premises and mythic consequences developing a linear, but visionary, point and click experience, whose only little sin is to indulge sometimes in its own beauty.

The best prehistoric experience in videogames history, despite some important flaws.

Planet Robobot is the same old, funny and colorful Kirby game. Enjoyable, full of extra modes and a bit on the predictable side.

The best Etrian Odyssey game to date, although it could easily become very repetitive.

Galactic Civilizations III is a solid entry to a beloved strategic saga. It's just a bit disappointing that the calls for bolder innovations were not heard.

The PS Vita port of these glorious games could have been better, but if you want to play them on the bus...

Two entertaining and rich single player campaigns, ready to be enjoyed on the go or at home. Things hasn't changed much from the GBA days, excluding the HD visuals, but these are still two of the most entertaining strategy games every witnessed on a Nintendo system.

One of the best "Tales of" to date. A charismatic main character lives an interesting story until the end.

Killzone: Shadow Fall is an uninventive but still largely enjoyable shooter, with rich visuals and a solid multiplayer experience. Poor dialogue and narrative keep the game far from the best out there.

An amazing way to digitally live the most important event in football, but maybe not the best choice for an all-around football videogamer.

Paladins fills a fairly significant gap in the Switch’s library. Some minor issues aside, it's generally a great experience.

Hell Let Loose is one of the best WWII shooters, certainly not suitable for everyone due to his hardcore gameplay but still rewarding if played with the right collaborative spirit.

One free game leads to another, Marvel heroes and villains are welcome if the goal is simply to have fun. Between questionable balance and general lack of originality, some will turn up their noses, but how fun is Marvel Rivals.

An extremely entertaining product if you want to play it online, characterized by well designed factions. Just be aware that if you plan to play it in single player offline mode the lack of a campaign or story mode could severely impact interest and longevity.

Difficult, adrenaline-fueled and stupid as hell, Anger Foot does not disappoint and, after the 2022 demo, kicking dumb enemies like there's no tomorrow also works in the long run.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach boldly expands the philosophical and post-apocalyptic universe created nearly six years ago by Hideo Kojima, enriching and diversifying the gameplay with dynamics, yet without managing to replicate the narrative strength, character charm, and emotional impact of the first, surprising chapter. Technically stunning and artistically inspired, this sequel manages to entertain and engage, but also leaves the impression that its narrative structure cannot always sustain the dozens of hours needed to complete the adventure without lapses in pacing and intensity.

BoxBoy! is a little, clever puzzle game full of ideas and tagged with a really interesting price.

Don't Starve is a great survival game and an interesting take on the Minecraft formula. It's fierce pacing and its permanent deaths make it a great experience. A taxing, nightmarish but ultimately satisfying experience.

The biggest Black Ops ever: packed with content and fun, but with a weak campaign and a few aspects that need refinement.

A good Olympic expansion that makes the base game a bit more serious than in the past. Steep is now a one of the richest extreme sports games of the last decade, but be careful: the amount of content can overwhelm you!

The updated pricing policies, along with the very good deckbuilding options, make this 2015 edition of the game a worth purchase for Magic The Gathering fans.

The Rebel Collection offers two great games that you can enjoy in a new way on Switch, thanks to a single package full of contents that will allow you to experience the journey of four different characters.

Shadows of Doubt is not an investigative experience I would recommend to everyone. Still, if you love gritty, procedural, and remarkably free games in their approach, you can't miss it.

The Cat Lady offers a unique and deviated world and a setting full of horror and despair, although the keyboard controls and an excessive backtracking remain flaws to be reckoned with.

Riven's remake is a successful one, albeit with a few perplexities in terms of graphics optimisation and NPC's rendering. However, if you never could stand the puzzles of the original version, you certainly won't change your mind today.

2XKO is a mature fighting game, approachable on the surface yet deep at its core, with solid online infrastructure and a clear competitive focus. It’s not perfect, but as Riot Games’ debut in the genre, it doesn’t disappoint.

A good platform-RPG, through its difficulty needs some balancing. Perfect for the fans of the series.

A totally badass DLC character, with interesting skills and some crazy outfits. It's also pretty hard to master, but very rewarding if you love melee combat. If you still can't get enough of Pandora, playing with Krieg could be a good excuse to visit again.

Fast, immediate, spectacular, solid. Star Wars Battlefront is the "casual" multiplayer shooter everyone expected. And basically this is also its greatest limitation.

If you liked Outlast, you will definitely love this sequel, which, though not perfect, is one of the most terrifying experiences ever.

A fitting conclusion to the Golden Idol saga, this DLC includes three new interesting cases and a pair of new mechanics.

Graceful Explosion Machine is a little, smart and fun shoot'em up that perfectly suits the Switch's hybrid nature.

Featuring an undeniable retro charm, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana certainly doesn't stand out for the graphics. On the other hand, the gameplay is fun, frenetic and framed by a pleasing and multifaceted narrative. A title strongly recommended to old-school RPG action fans.

Cuphead is a stunning game. And a cruel one. You have to find out if it's more entertaining or frustrating, and that's not an easy task.

Football Manager 2019 doesn't bring anything revolutionary in the classic FM experience, but it shows an all around more tidy and comfortable user experience.

A cartoonish adventure inspired by the Disney cartoons of the 90s and by the old point and click games. Good riddles and a lot of laughs.

A nice turn-based game, quite similar to XCOM but not a clone: a good use of the Warhammer license.

Despite the new graphics, this is a classic Mega Man, with all its pros and cons. It's a clever and challenging game. The normal difficulty will give you the NES era brand of frustration and accomplishment, whereas the easy mode (which is definitely not too easy) presents a challenge suitable for people who don't have so much time on their hands.

Infinity Nikki surprises with its vastness and style, offering a relaxing and beautiful open world with plenty to do. The grinding and currency system are the price to pay for a free game of this size, but they do not overshadow a unique free-to-play experience.

The Rogue Prince of Persia doesn’t reinvent the roguelite genre, but bends it with style, pace and smart design into a formula that gives fresh identity to a historic franchise.

Lies of P: Overture is a strong and rewarding expansion that builds on the base game with memorable bosses, new gear, and a darker, emotional storyline that acts as both prequel and epilogue. While some issues remain - like uneven level design and occasional camera hiccups - the excellent combat additions, quality of life improvements, and high narrative quality make it a must-play for fans, offering 15 hours of rich, atmospheric content.

With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Panic Button is reconfirmed as a very talented developer to bring triple A titles to Switch.

This new edition of Resident Evil: Revelations, even if without unpublished contents, demonstrates once again the beauty of the original game.

If already in the preview the feelings in front of Cygni: All Guns Blazing had been positive, the long-distance review confirms how well the small KeelWorks team did with this spectacular and intense mix of shoot'em-up, bullet-hell and twin-stick-shooter.

WarioWare is back at square one with a brand new, funny chapter that re-elaborates the original concept, with a multi-player and multi-characters twist.

Dungeon of the Endless is a fun game and a cool experiment: two old concepts meshed into something new.

RAD conquered us with its mix of hack n slash, rogue-like and charming post-apocalyptic world... and fans of the 80s will appreciate it even more.

Kirby Air Riders isn't just a solid, yet atypical, arcade racing game; it's also a Kirby-themed playground with a variety of modes to choose from, which are very different from one another. The game has an incredible amount of content, and in an era where releases are often incomplete, this is something to be underlined. But all that content would be pointless if the game wasn't fun, and Kirby Air Riders knows this all too well: whether it's for a quick race in Air Ride, a lap of the track in Top Ride, or a five-minute City Trial, it's impossible not to be swept away by the charm, the colorful atmosphere, and the playfulness of Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and all their friends.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a high-definition re-release of a cult game from the Nintendo DS era, which in this high-definition version has one more chance to be appreciated by fans of the mystery stories and puzzles typical of the works written and directed by Shu Takumi. This ambitious game is highly recommended for Ace Attorney fans and anyone who wants to get involved with the rich cast of eccentric characters that populate its dark mysteries.

The Big Bank Heist is a new PayDay 2 DLC which offers a really tough, exciting and long-lived mission, where planning is essential. The flaws of the main game are still here (graphics and enemy AI), but if you're a fan of the four crazy robbers by Overkill Software, you won't regret the purchase.

A good port of a very good free to play game. World of Tanks is a tactical and slow paced game, a thing that makes it particularly unique in the Xbox 360 ecosystem.

Absorption offers a new way to tackle the arcade game on iOS, and its perfect controls allow the player to enjoy an hard but fair arcade game.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a middle ground between a remaster and a remake; the game is not overly aged and benefits from the many improvements resulting so and accessible. This does not mean that it is easier: the level of challenge is the same as in the classic version, and in general this re-release, appreciable by both fans of the saga and newcomers, offers a deep and exciting story.

Not everything is well-focused in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, but the rate of cringe and exaggeration in narrative and gameplay is such that is almost impossible not being entertained.

Attack of the Friday Monsters is more of an interactive story than a videogame. It's short on game mechanics, but the rest is very enjoyable: the tone, the passion and that strange feeling of nostalgic magic that Ayabe and his team could infuse in this delicate story.

A colorful journey that leads the player to explore some fantastic biomes and shines thanks to a beautiful soundtrack.

A nice way to celebrate an all-time classic, Super Mario Bros. 35 successfully implements some kind of battle royale using a very familiar gameplay.

Inspired by great classics of the past, SKALD isn't just fueled by nostalgia but is a proper good CRPG in its own right, one that fans of the genre should probably consider playing.

Anno 1800 may be about the industrial revolution, but its design is quite conservative. A boon for the fans of the series, who will find themselves at home with this new iteration of the economic simulator they know and love.

Assetto Corsa Competizione for PS4 is a good porting for one of the best driving simulations available right now, that despite a few compromises keeps a racing experience similar to the PC version.

I found the first game in the series to be a smooth and enjoyable adventure — only partly dated, with its rough edges softened by the new features introduced by the development team. As for Dragon Quest II, I was even more impressed by how modern many of its mechanics feel and by the variety of the overall experience, which also provides a solid level of challenge, especially on the “Draconian Mission” difficulty. Of course, these are still productions from the mid-1980s which, although updated, retain the charm of a bygone era — something that may not appeal to everyone — and this is particularly noticeable in the somewhat unexciting mission structure.

A perfect modern retro-game, inspired from 90s 16-bit classics.

A smart puzzle game with a lot of content at a small price.

Luxurious environments and tons of content make Days Gone a good choice for open world lovers. But the ambitious adventure crafted by Bend Studio has more than a few annoying issues and shortcomings under the hood.

Lots of good/great games in a competent package. But... where are the third party classics?

A good mix of investigative visual novel and shoot 'em up, with a captivating story able to capture until the very end.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has everything you would expect from a perfect DLC. It's different from the main game for atmosphere, settings and game world, it is durable, the price is fully justified and gameplay doesn't betray the original Far Cry 3 model.

MotoGP 22 is a "sidestep" for the series, in a year substantially of transition towards a more intense narrative of the race atmosphere, proposes a slightly more simulative riding model than last year, but with a too steep learning curve and some accessibility problems. Anyway NINE Season 2009 is worth the ride, because is a brillaint take on narrative and documentary in a videogame.

That’s not a perfect, but nevertheless it’s an engaging and hard puzzle game.

Mario Party Superstars, with all its limitations, remains an unshakable institution. Revamping the pace of the boards a bit, however, is certainly Nintendo's next priority.

Capcom at its finest: a bunch of interesting and still largely enjoyable beat'em up.

Infernax is in the right place between Ghost 'n Goblins and Castlevania, but it also has its own uniqueness that allows it to stand out. While playing, time flows by without you even noticing.

Nobody Wants to Die is an enticing detective story that takes a weird path in the final stretch.

An original mix of interactive fiction and arcade racing that brings you into the Italy of the seventies: a truly unique game that deserves to be played.

If you love slow, atmospheric, cryptic, and introspective horror, and you’re not afraid of getting lost in corridors that seem to go on forever, Luto is an experience worth trying.

Windbound is a pleasant and not too challenging survival game, ideal for those who love the sea and want to explore incredible natural landscapes.

A valid entry in the genre of turn based strategy games. It offers some unique gameplay features but in some areas it suffers from oversimplification.

Mouthwashing is a short but intense experience, with original storytelling, a haunting atmosphere, and some gameplay limitations that don’t overshadow a title that stands out in the indie scene.

An unmissable collection for all fans of the series, which offers a new and very welcome point of view outside the well-known courtrooms.

Beautiful and unpleasant as always, Cuphead arrives on Switch as a simply unassailable version.

Scorn, with its mix of puzzles, horror, monsters and exploration, is a unique and alienating experience that you'll love or hate.

A perfect gift for Spyro's fans. A colorful trio of adventures, right from the 90's. Those who loved Spyro will continue to love it, those who hated it will not change their minds.
