    New Pokemon Snap
    After 22 years, we finally get a sequel to the Nintendo 64 classic Pokémon Snap. Even though a lot of time has passed, much of the gameplay is intact. You follow a fixed road forward and your mission is to photograph as many Pokémons as possible before the route reaches its end. It may not sound all that fun, but it really is. For a while anyway. Although the adventure is more than twice as long as the original and the gameplay has evolved in a few important areas, it is a bit too limited to please others than those who already love the series.

    Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu!
    The combination of revisiting the origins of Pokémon with enhanced Pokémon Go mechanics makes this journey mostly a pleasant one. Too bad the controller options are so limited as it sure will divide the audience.

    The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
    Zombies, survival elements and a brutal combat system is a great foundation. Moreover, with advanced control and detailed environments, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a top VR-game in most regards. The fact that Playstation VR and the old Move controls are capable of such an advanced game is impressive, even though some necessary compromises are hard to ignore.

    F1 22
    With prettier graphics and notably improved physics, F1 22 impresses right out of the gate. Last year's enjoyable story mode is unfortunately gone, and instead we get to play F1 star with luxury watches and clumsy supercars. What a downgrade. Fortunately, the presentation, the career mode and not least the driving experience are better than ever.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure
    Sackboy: A Big Adventure switches the creative mode from the main series to a more direct platform game. Some courses such as the rhythm-based ones are brilliant, but despite the improved control compared to Little Big Planet, most of them are too easy and slow for the experienced player. And apart from the Dual Sense features, there are no real "next gen" details that stand out.

    Spyro Reignited Trilogy
    Spyro Reignited Trilogy might be noticeably worse on Nintendo Switch compared to the other versions of the game, but the port is still mighty impressive overall. If you value portable gaming, there is nothing to consider; this is the version to get. But if you mainly plan to play on the TV and have a Playstation 4 or Xbox One, you will get a better experience on those consoles.

    Riders Republic
    Riders Republic is a game with an annoying attitude, an alarming number of different sports and an overwhelming world map. Despite that, the game impress with great controls, varied challenges and a world filled with fun activities. In addition, the fact that we are not spoiled with well-made ski, snowboard and bike games, makes Riders Republic a more than welcome addition to the genre.

    Resident Evil 3
    Just like last year's Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 3 is a great new version of a 20-year-old horror classic. Unlike part 2, however, this time Capcom has, for better or worse, departed from the original game in several ways. It is still a great adventure that is more focused on action than horror. But just like 20 years ago, Resident Evil 3 never reaches the same highs as its predecessor - which on the other hand is not a bad score at all.

    DOOM
    It’s hard not to be impressed by how much of the Doom experience that is preserved on Nintendo's little machine. On the other hand, it's impossible to ignore the big downgrades regarding graphics and controls. Doom on Switch is simply a worse experience than Doom on the other consoles and pc - but it’s still a pretty great experience. Especially in handheld mode.

    DIRT 5
    Dirt 5 is an arcade racing game that ticks most of the right boxes. The races are fun and flashy, but also varied and reasonably challenging. The impressive weather effects also elevate the experience. Outside of the races however, there is a clear lack of content. But at the same time; If you want an entertaining rally game that is easy to pick up - Dirt 5 is a great choice.

    Halo Wars 2
    Halo Wars 2 might be a bit shallow compared to Starcraft 2, but as a strategy game on console it works really well. The controls are easy to understand, it’s action packed and the world is fantastic. For console players looking for a strategy game, Halo Wars 2 is an easy choice.

    L.A. Noire
    L.A Noire is still a unique game, even if it has some problems. The Switch version looks great, and is overall the best way to experience this.

    Paper Beast
    Paper Beast is a VR game that takes advantage of the technology's unique possibilities. When we put on the headset, we are transported to a completely different world, filled with beautiful views, a strange wildlife and clever puzzles. Unfortunately, we are also met by some muddy environments, limited controls and a few puzzles that cause more frustration than joy. In the end, Paper Beast is a different and fascinating experience, but the we miss the last bit of polish.

    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
    A port of last years Wolfenstein II to the Nintendo Switch seemed like an impossible task, but Panic Button has exceeded our expectations. Sure, there are some massive downgrades regarding the graphics, but the core gameplay is pretty much intact. The main problem is that the other versions of the game are so much better, but if you want a portable first person shooter this might be the best one yet.

    Monster Hunter Stories
    At best, Monster Hunter Stories is a good Pokémon knock off for fans of the genre. The flawed story makes it difficult to recommend for others.

    Call of Duty: WWII
    Call of Duty WW2 is in the middle of an identity crisis, but by going back to its roots it has created slower and more tactical gameplay that is much more fun to play than the wall running and double jumping from the last few installments.

    Like a Dragon: Ishin!
    Like a Dragon: Ishin! delivers some excellent samurai action, with a story harkening back to Kurosawa, but there are a few thorns in your side. The game could have benefited of being more remade, the graphics in particular stand out as not quite up to date. There is almost too much side content to take on, I would have preferred fewer but more developed sidestories. Overall though, it’s a really good game that offers many hours of entertainment.

    Detroit: Become Human
    Detroit: Become Human is better than Beyond: Two Souls, but it won’t be the game that turns the skeptics around. The dialogue is poorly written and it’s hard to feel anything for the characters. It’s a story that is easy to be drawn into, but also one that doesn’t have that much to say at all.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity mixes the best of Hyrule Warriors with the aesthetics and mystique of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The result is a truly spectacular action game that not only entertains, but also gives us more of the story and the characters we have come to love. Fans of action games and The Legend of Zelda have a lot to pick up here.

    For Honor
    With an outstanding combat system For Honor offers a unique take on medieval action games. The combat truly excels against other players online and it is apparent that the online mode is where your time should be spent. Offline players, however, will not find much to do except hammering around in a repetitive story mode.

    FIFA 22
    Fifa 22 for the new generation of consoles is a big step forward for both the series and Electronic Arts. The realism is more noticeable this time, while the ball game on the field is more convincing. Sure, there are occasional misses in places, but for the most part, everything from animations to collisions feels completely worthy of the epithet "next generation".

    Unravel
    Unravel is a bit of a slow starter, but as the adventure unfolds it’s easy to get totally lost in the beautiful scenery and the stunning graphics. It’s a game that's going to make you feel warm and joyful, and for that we can overlook some of the lesser parts, like the puzzle design.

    Battlefield V
    Battlefield V is a welcome return to the fast paced massive multiplayer games that the series is known for. Even though it lacks in map counts and has a few missing modes that are coming in the future it is a surprisingly complete package. It makes a very competent first impression and promises a longevity that Battlefield 1 never did.

    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
    Swedish pen and paper meets Xcom in a brilliant, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Oozing with atmosphere and intense battles, this little gem of a game should not be overlooked.

    Mothergunship
    Mothergunship is a surprisingly entertaining game. The fast and intense combat feels rather unique, and it's impossible not to giggle like a school girl after building an excessively large lava spewing rocket launcher shotgun with an extra saw blade. Even though the graphics, level design and enemy variation could use a bit of work, it’s easy to forgive the problems and just enjoy some absurd shooting.

    Little Nightmares
    Little Nightmares is a perfect balanced experience with around five hours of gameplay. It has some flaws, but the atmosphere and the unique setting makes up for that. If you are in need for something short and interesting, you should give this one a try.

    Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Episode 1: Awake
    Although Before The Storm has the same old graphics as the first Life is Strange, the game feels good and evokes nostalgic memories from 2015. We love the fact that Chloe isn’t super natural at all and are excited to get to know Rachel Ambers.

    Star Wars: Squadrons
    Star Wars Squadrons is a flight action game that succeeds in most areas. The single player campaign is unexpectedly exciting, especially for Star Wars fans. The online part is easy to get into, difficult to master - and even harder to stop playing. However, both the single player campaign and the online mode is in dire need of more content. Although given the relatively low price point and the quality of what we get, it is hard to complain.

    No Man's Sky
    Thanks to several major updates No Man's Sky is in many ways a very different experience today than it was in 2016, even though the main gameplay loop is still intact. If you want an exciting story or thrilling space combat, this is not for you. However, if you want a Minecraft-oozing space adventure filled with endless exploration, it fits perfectly. It may not be Star Wars or Mass Effect, but it's your very own space adventure.

    Street Fighter V
    You can’t do a review of Street Fighter V and not mention the lack of content for those who not want to play online. And yes, it’s a shame – but at the same time Street Fighter V is as entertaining and deep as ever. With more content in the future this is probably going to be the best installment in the series so far.
