    Ruku's Heart Balloon is a fairly simple puzzle game, which has a good amount of modes and additional content that make it a great option if you are looking for a friendly, relaxing game full of cute animals. It won't change your life, but it will make you have a good time.

    Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening is a great celebration of the franchise, but it's not a perfect game. While the large number of officers and the depth of the game's mechanics are big draws, the control scheme on Nintendo Switch, its kind of dull graphics and demanding gameplay may not be to every player's taste.

    Disney Illusion Island is an accessible metroidvania that offers a great level of exploration. Although it can get a bit repetitive, its beautiful artwork and its great orchestral soundtrack make it worth giving it a chance, especially in local multiplayer with friends.

    Pikmin 4 is one of the best real-time strategy games I've ever played. The fun of exploring its zones, its large amount of collectibles, the strategy behind the Dandori battles and how adorable and useful Oatchi is are just some of the features that make this installment an outstanding game.

    If what you're looking for is a cozy RPG with management elements, a nice story, simple but addictive gameplay and a short length, Atelier Marie Remake is a great choice.

    Despite having improvable sections such as the 3D designs and the way the rhythm part of the game has been incorporated into the plot, if you like Sui Ishida's designs and the theatrical setting, this is a visual novel you can't ignore.

    Afterimage is a pretty good metroidvania. If you are able to resist its high difficulty peaks, you will find a game with a very nice art style and fun gameplay. However, due to some technical issues, we think there are better platforms to enjoy the game on other than Nintendo Switch.

    Trails into Reverie is a title that requires previous knowledge of the franchise to be enjoyed to the fullest. It doesn't work as an entry point for new fans, so I can only recommend it (and highly so) to those already fans of the saga who have experienced the previous games. While the Switch version of the game may not be the best, it's still an enjoyable experience.

    Everybody 1-2-Switch! is not trying to fool anyone: it is a small evolution of its predecessor, adding more games to play with all sorts of people, regardless of their previous experience with video games. Something like a Nintendo-style Jackbox Party, but with more games, although also way simpler.

    Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE feels like a complete evolution of what Danganronpa was all about, offering a series of very interesting mysteries, unexpected plot twists and an excellent cast. While its gameplay can get a bit repetitive, getting to the end of the game rewards you with an unforgettable story.

    Both Pikmin and Pikmin 2 are two classic games that every strategy games fan should experience. With their high definition graphics and quality of life enhancements, these are the best versions of both titles to date.

    Although it doesn't include too much new content to justify replaying it if you have already, Ghost Trick is a must-have for any fan of mystery games. If you like Ace Attorney or similar games, you have to give a chance to one of the most intriguing and emotional stories that has ever given the medium of video games, now in high definition and with a complete gallery of cool unlockables.

    Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is a return to a classic trilogy that defined the dungeon crawler genre. Although it now has HD graphics, a perfect translation into other languages such as Spanish and a decent adaptation to Nintendo Switch controls, it will appeal mainly to players who are already fans of the series.

    Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a cute and addictive game that respects the franchise's formula by offering plenty of levels and multiplayer fun. However, we feel that its full potential is not fulfilled due to the lack of diversity in game modes.

    While DNF Duel Who's Next is a good fighting game, it's not the best you'll find on Nintendo Switch. If you're a fan of the franchise it's based on, or are looking for a slightly different experience to the other games in the genre available on the platform, it can be a good option. However, its somewhat poor online mode relegates competitive play to versions of the game only for other platforms.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is much more than the sequel to Breath of the Wild. It is a perfect adventure game, with innovative mechanics, an exciting story and secrets around every corner. With this installment, the world of Hyrule is much larger than ever before, both in density and vertical exploration. In every little detail, you can feel all the work and care that Nintendo has put into this game over the years, because it is simply magical. Undoubtedly, we are facing the best Nintendo Switch game, and we don't think any other will be able to top it. A true masterpiece.

    There are many good ideas in Minabo, so we regret a little that the execution of some of them are not that good. All in all, it's still a good job by Devilish Games, a team that you can tell has put all its efforts into creating an experience that, while we don't think is made to be enjoyed for everyone, does provide an interesting metaphor for representing our own lives.

    Have a Nice Death is a very fun and dynamic game, although with some performance problems on Switch. As a roguelike, it doesn't stand out from other games in the genre like Hades or Hollow Knight. However, if you're looking for a challenging action platformer title with a lighthearted tone, it's a good choice.

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection is a splendid update of six classic Japanese RPGs, now on Nintendo Switch. High-definition graphics, widescreen support, a superbly orchestrated soundtrack and a gallery full of extras make this collection a must-have for any lover of the franchise who wants to revisit or discover these games for the first time.

    Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is the best option to enjoy two strategy classics, renewed with improved graphics and an online mode to play with friends from all over the world. Despite the improvements, we are still faced with niche games that feel somewhat repetitive, but that fans of the series will accept with open arms while waiting for an unlikely new original installment of the series.

    If what you are looking for is a story with adventure and intrigue and not focused exclusively on romantic relationships, Norn9: Var Commons is a safe bet. This game balances a well-narrated plot with protagonists that are hard not to get attached to.

    This compilation of all Mega Man Battle Network games has many improvements and new features that have made us appreciate these games again. A large gallery full of interesting material and the incorporation of online give a new life to games that are far from perfect, but were very relevant in the era of the Game Boy Advance.

    Curse of the Sea Rats is a good metroidvania game. Playing it solo is quite challenging, and playing it with up to three other friends in local mode is fun. While it's not a perfect game, it left us with a good taste thanks to a very original art style complemented by a somewhat basic but decent gameplay.

    We found Meg's Monster to be a short but beautiful experience. Its emotional story with plot twists, its fun combat and its art style and soundtrack are remarkable, and make the game worthwhile despite being a short and quite simple title.

    Mato Anomalies is a role-playing game that dares to innovate in things that sometimes work well, and sometimes not. With a very interesting mix of genres that gives rise to turn-based combat and card duels, its story and setting are very interesting. However, the repetitive combat and simple dungeon design may not appeal to all players.

    The world of Oddworld returns with all the charisma of its characters and story. However, it does so with many performance problems and lacks attention to detail, with multiple audiovisual problems, which tarnish the whole experience.

    Amnesia: Memories is a classic. It has earned a deserved position among the oldest games. This game can be a good first contact with the genre, as it is a title with a decent story and a good number of routes.

    Returning to the world of Rakuen on Nintendo Switch has delighted us. Rarely in video games have we seen such an emotional story with such a great soundtrack. While it all depends on whether you connect with its premise, additions like Mr. Saitou or Laura Shigihara's short films are enough for us to recommend you to relive this exciting adventure.

    Atelier Ryza 3 is the best game in the series to date. An outstanding instalment that brings the most successful trilogy of the Atelier series to a close with a highly versatile, entertaining and emotional adventure. We have seen these characters grow over the years, and this adventure is the perfect moment to say goodbye to them. If you're a fan of the series, you have to give it a try.

    Dredge is a game that proposes a peculiar but well implemented mix that keeps you hooked thanks to its puzzles and dark aesthetics. It knows how to keep you hooked, but in the end it can get a bit repetitive.
