Meet Your Maker is now the standard for sandbox experiences in terms of entertainment, ease of use and scalability. This endlessly repayable dungeon raiding and building experience has the friendliness of Minecraft and the aesthetics and gameplay of Doom and it will hook you.

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly sports minimum innovations on the first chapter’s gameplay, while the writing is under the spotlight, managing to improve some of Coffee Talk’s asperities, but often failing in giving depth to newly introduced characters. Toge Productions’ videogame is nonetheless a must have for those who look for a laid-back, enjoyable experience, without the need of frequent inputs on the player’s part, and has a clearer narrative focus, wisely leaving behind some of the (way too many) themes addressed in the first Coffee Talk.

20 years on, Advance Wars is still a great series. Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is full of content, stylish graphics and lots of battles. Wayforward is perhaps too faithful to the original games and lacks some of the quality of life features that could improve the game. And we also miss Dual Strike, to have the whole trilogy in one place. But Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a great addition to the Switch line-up and a great experience for players new and old.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a simple and short, but enjoyable visual novel that is graphically polished and, above all, completely free. The platforming minigame could have avoided the final difficulty spike, but if you are a fan of the blue hedgehog you should give it a chance.

We played Wartales for about seventy hours with the desire to play it again to try to manage the party in a completely different way. This is probably the best compliment we can pay to the Shiro Games game, which after Evoland and Northgard has created another little gem, perhaps a little rough in certain aspects and with some annoying problems, but certainly worthy of being played and in its own original way in approaching the genre of role-playing games.

Dead Island 2 is an adventure that in the end disappears without a trace. If you enjoyed the first one, you will probably enjoy this sequel as well; however, if you are looking for something more exciting and incisive you will necessarily have to look elsewhere. But it's nice to look at, somewhat relaxing in company, and despite the flaws it could be just the game you've been looking for.

Rusted Moss is a challenging Twin Stick Shooter Metroidvania with a grappling hook that completely turns most of what you know of the genre on its head.

I Did Not Buy This Ticket has unique narrative premises in the video game field: Candelaria, a woman who weeps for the dead as a hobby, is a memorable character in her being a singularity, an anomaly, her face continuously changing in a mirror’s reflection. This videogame, developed by Tiago Rech and Lírio Ninotchka, can make the players think about complex themes like identity and the personal approach one has to lose.

Mixing history, mythology and gameplay, Raji: An Ancient Epic manages to entertain as a good game and amaze with its fascinating background based on hindu culture.

Thanks to a solid cast, Process of Elimination delivers a good experience, despite not being the most ambitious.

NightCry controls are a mess, its graphics are outdated and the tension is broken by the monster spawn points. Remember the good old Clock Towers and forget this game.

Minecraft Legends is an experience for everyone, from RTS experts to young kids who have spent hours playing Minecraft. The game is simple and deep at the same time, able to entertain both during the Campaign but above all in multiplayer.

Everspace 2 works very well too. Despite all the changes compared to the first chapter, or perhaps precisely because of them, it manages to present itself as a space epic on the one hand, and as an engaging shooter with spaceships on the other.

Hunt the Night moves smoothly just like her protagonist, Vesper, without forgetting to indulge in its aesthetic and musical delicacies, revealing to be capable to build a well-structured, stimulating dark fantasy ambiance, effective both in the exploration and in its combat system. The soundtrack is excellent, and some tracks have left a deep mark in our mind. Some undeniable technical issues notwithstanding, we can’t help but applaud Moonlight Games for its capacity to build a retro action adventure that looks at the past its aesthetics, but gives a deep insight at more modern experiences.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution does not bring many innovations compared to the prequel, but in its new edition for PlayStation VR 2 it emerges as an excellent survival horror thanks to precise controls, excellent graphics and intense action.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a well done compilation that includes the six main installments and their variants and a good amount of extra features and contents which are mostly all new to the West.

Not For Broadcast is an extremely entertaining satire inspired by modern politics and journalism focused on scandal and propaganda. The actors' performances on screen are perfect and make time spent watching hilarious commercials or public scandals even more entertaining.

Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a good remake of a good game. It's not the right chapter if you're looking for innovation, in any case, since in terms of gameplay it takes up the same mechanics as Frogwares' most recent games. We recommend the game to fans, but anyone who was not impressed by Chapter One or The Sinking City is unlikely to change their opinion with The Awakened.

Sid Meier's Railroads! Retains all the good elements of the original and transfers them in a mobile environment. The task is carefully handled by Feral Interactive, although its UI can be a little too convoluted on small screens.

Tanuki Studio has concocted a stimulating plot that takes cues from Borges’ novel but manages to enrich it with new elements that create an interesting framework, a not-that-enthralling rhythm notwithstanding. The soundtrack is really pretty, offering sophisticated sonorities that were not often heard in video games, inserted in a virtual world. It’s a shame that the game mechanics give little sense of progression and remain anchored to the most classical stealth, degenerating in tough, uselessly frustrating platforming.

Curse of the Sea Rats is a beautiful jewel, shimmering and inviting, full of interesting ideas from an artistic and characterization point of view, but it is insubstantial to the touch. Nice to see, a little less to play. Flat and unbalanced. A pity, given the whole series of excellent choices taken about powers, skills and improvements.

Ragnarock is the true heir to Guitar Hero, a title that should not be missing from the collection of any genre's fan.

Lone Fungus takes inspiration from Hollow Knight without being a clone of Team Cherry’s masterpiece: Basti shows a firm willingness to create an experience that can be adapted to every level of ability, opening metroidvanias to newcomers. Basti’s videogame is enjoyable in the world’s exploration, but doesn’t manage to create a distinctive combat experience due to a monotonous enemy design.

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR hits the right spot and manages to strike an excellent balance between hyper-realistic simulation and arcade golf, with many game modes, both online and offline, and an interesting use of top-notch, up-to-date technology to develop faithful virtual reconstruction of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, keeping a keen eye on ball dynamics. The experience is fun and enjoyable, also due to the numerous options given to players to customize the difficulty level; it’s a shame that swings have not been rendered in a truly precise way, but EA Sports makes it up building a robust, governable game system, capable to adapt to the needs of both absolute beginners and golf pros alike.

The Last Worker is a narrative adventure with satirical overtones and a simple game structure. Unfortunately, the gameplay never quite succeeds. The game should perform best on VR, unfortunately the worst optimized version.

Probably this is the best Resident Evil remake in every aspect, technical component too.

Remnant From the Ashes is a good game, but it is clear that the Switch version is not the best and not preferable if you have other platforms. On the technical side, every element has taken a visible hit, but the frame rate is stable enough that you can play without too much worry. It is probably not the best game for outside play, but it also depends on your taste. However, if you only have a Switch and have always been intrigued by this adventure, we recommend it.

Overall, Beyond Contact is not entirely contemptible, but it lacks aspects that make it a must-play.
