    Despite performance issues, FNAF Security Breach on Nintendo Switch can still be enjoyed, bringing a great terrifying, unique, and stressful experience that can now be taken on-the-go.

    The various unit types in Advance Wars perfectly blend with resource management, offering engaging gameplay that, staying true to its roots, is best enjoyed in handheld mode and in short sessions. It's a successful adaptation of two classic games, albeit somewhat simplistic.

    Mato Anomalies is Arrowiz's ambitious first major project that aims to compete with games such as Persona 5 Royal. Although the game has promising initial ideas, it falls short in some aspects by trying to incorporate too many mechanics and genres.

    Bayonetta isn't just about non-stop action, and she has shown that in Cereza and the Lost Demon with an adventure that puzzle-loving, story-driven, and exploration-seeking fans will absolutely adore.

    A simple and entertaining Kirby game that isn't particularly original or creative, but includes a lot of extras to further enjoy a remarkable platformer, both alone and in company.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A huge and beautiful adventure full of good stories with an addictive gameplay that surpasses its predecessor in almost everything, but still falters when it comes to connecting its characters.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A mediocre remastering job, but one that serves to rescue an exceptional game, with the addition of a multiplayer mode and portability that allows it to be played more comfortably than ever.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A challenging and fun musical RPG title that anyone can enjoy, but fans of the Final Fantasy saga and its soundtracks will love. Loading times are a bit frequent on Nintendo Switch, although we think it's the best platform to enjoy the game due to its portability.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Metroid Prime Remastered is an exceptional game, impressive at all levels and the living proof that the series can be taken much further than its two-dimensional adventures. Somewhat uneven, but visually outstanding, its controls are superbly adapted to the Nintendo Switch, setting a precedent for the series.

    Oddballers is a fun, varied game with a lot of possibilities, especially in local multiplayer. The lack of optimization in the Nintendo Switch version, as well as the lack of character voices, makes it feel less cool and well-made than its predecessor.

    Persona 4 Golden returns on the latest generation consoles to revive one of the best JRPG adventures in history. Although some visual elements expose the limitations of its initial version on Playstation Vita, this does not harm it too much and allows you to enjoy a very interesting story full of plot twists.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Its story is not as good and impactful as Three Houses or Awakening, but in terms of gameplay it is the most cutting-edge and advanced Fire Emblem game to date.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Inscryption is a journey that will not leave you indifferent. Although his constant desire to surprise the player leads him to take many risks, it achieves what it sets out to do in most cases.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Just Dance looks better than ever with a great visual update, preparing for the future of the series and adapting to modern times without forgetting its roots. The subscription service, Just Dance+, needs time to grow and, for now, we don't think it's worth it due to its low amount of content.

    Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have failed as open-world games. Its premise with three routes seems original, but it becomes a repetitive task in which some mini-games in the gyms are really boring. Although the Pokémon are better recreated than ever in their wild environments, the overall performance of the game is terrible, affecting the gameplay and giving the impression that we are playing an incomplete game.

    Sonic takes Nintendo Switch to the limit with a strange open world in its own way, very funny and entertaining to play. It draws inspiration from some of the best open world games to please all kinds of gamers.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Aeterna Noctis surprises you with its high difficulty and charms you with its addictive gameplay. A metroidvania that brings together elements of great games to create a big universe, that although it shines with its own light, it doesn't end up innovating, but it does very well what it sets out to do.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    It Takes Two is capable of bringing two people together and transmitting a lot of emotions guided through a beautiful story of love and heartbreak, told with a lot of jokes and simplicity. Hazelight proved that they have been able to face all the technical challenges of the console, leaving us with a wonderful version.
    • 86 Metascore

    Taking risks and daring to be better, Platinum Games has created one of the best games in its history with Bayonetta 3. The witch returns stronger and better accompanied than ever, proving why it is a Hack&Slash icon.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Sparks of Hope is an excellent sequel to Mario + Rabbids that improves everything compared to the first game, with some graphical flaws and some risky changes that have been very positive.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Persona 5 Royal is without any doubt one of the best and most complete JRPGs on Nintendo Switch, with a correct optimization and performance. It would be good to improve the image resolution sometimes, but this detail does not diminish the quality of this masterful adventure.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection invites us to experience the stories of Max and Chloe with a remastered version of the first two games. On a technical level it has some flaws, but that does not mean we can't enjoy one of the most exciting and vibrant stories of recent years in a portable version.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Return to Monkey Island is a love letter to the Point & Click genre, as well as a great graphic adventure, both narratively and artistically, keeping the essence of the Monkey Island saga. It brings freshness and a new and intuitive game system.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Nier: Automata on Nintendo Switch is another miracle of optimization that brings a great sci-fi adventure to the portable format in an outstanding way. DLC additions or motion controls don't make an excellent game any better.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    TUNIC surprises by bringing back what we love most about The Legend of Zelda and wraps it with an ingenious puzzle that will make us feel that we are in front of the great classic adventure games.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Splatoon 3 refines the most outdated aspects of its prequel to give us an excellent and unique online game with unimaginable potential, as well as continuing in a fantastic way with the lore of the saga.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Made in Abyss stays true to Akihito Tsukushi's original work, reminding us just how intriguing and mysterious his world can be. The new story expands its universe even further, but the somewhat clunky control and unstable performance screws up much of the gameplay experience.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Although it doesn't create something new or revolutionary, Cult of the Lamb combines a lot of things that fit together perfectly to bring us a rich, fun and original roguelike mixed with a resource management game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A mix of all we love of Sonic but not so inspired. It takes the classic style of the hedgehog and bring some upgrades to the gameplay. Fans will love Sonic Origins, but maybe they would want more content.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The third installment of Xenoblade becomes the best of the series. It evolves its gameplay, offering a complex and very entertaining JRPG that encourages us to explore its huge world. Its story is sublime and the irregularities in the quality of its animations and sound effects are the only things we can blame about the game as its downsides.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    With more than 20 years behind of it, LIVE A LIVE still feels like a fresh and innovative game in terms of its story. It's a pity that its gameplay has not followed the path of its artistic evolution, being quite outdated for today standards.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There's a lot of life left in the Rabbids. Despite their technical simplicity, going back to their party roots has brought them back in a fun direction that we liked.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is a great celebration of the character's legacy with a refreshed visual look of two of his most classic games. However, despite being iconic platformers with a great story, they also have its downsides, such as frame-pacing issues on Nintendo Switch and lack of new content.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This new TMNT game stands out for being an artistic explosion with detailed pixel art and a good amount of nods for the most nostalgic. Its gameplay feels very smooth both on local and online multiplayer.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is "more of the same" with a moderate amount of quality content at a price maybe too high. The inclusion of only two new areas and less than 20 monsters (many of them not new) does not favor us to recommend this DLC if you were not a fan of the base game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is an ideal game for fans of Japanese mystery games who are looking for a different experience from the usual. Mixing puzzles with shoot 'em up we have found a very original title that, without standing out too much in anything, has turned out to be an enjoyable experience.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The Delicious Last Course is more of Cuphead. Not better. Not worse. Just more of what we loved of Cuphead. If you like the original game, you will enjoy this DLC.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A game as entertaining as it is lacking in content. The fun of its combat and the possibilities of exploration clash directly with the repetitive and unvaried that are many aspects of this title.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    he story of Three Hopes expands a lot on the story of Three Houses and that's one of the main reasons it is a must-have for fans of the original game. It also works fine as a musou game, adding some popular Fire Emblem elements correctly to the mix.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative is a worthy sequel to its predecessor, improving in all areas and incorporating new features that fans will greatly appreciate. With a new story full of mysteries and plot twists, colorful characters and a refined gameplay, we have been delighted with a title that, although it is designed for a very specific niche of players, knows how to do things right.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Next Level Games has perfected the new Mario Strikers to feel fresher and funnier than ever, focusing on offline and online multiplayer modes. The original soundtracks aren't so good, although these little issues are not remarkable due to its cool art style.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Souldiers is a 2D metroidvania with Souls-like touches that stands out for its fluid, challenging and deep gameplay. A stimulating experience with a great artistic value which is only weighed down by various technical problems that promise to be corrected sometime in the future.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is a rather continuist game in regards to the original installment of the franchise. However, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. At the end of the day, it is an independent role-playing adventure with very original ideas that make it worthwhile. Of course, it is not a marvel, but it is more than enough to have a good time.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is a highly original proposal with a remarkable presentation and a masterful soundtrack. Therefore, it is a pity that its gameplay does not know how to live up to it.

    The puzzles, humor and challenges of Dungeons of Dreadrock will make you enjoy a classic adventure on your Nintendo Switch in a better way than on mobile phones.

    Given the track record of the Wii Sports series, we expected Nintendo Switch Sports to be a relatively well-rounded product, but both the small amount of content and its online instability for games such as Chambara and Badminton left us a bittersweet taste.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has played well with our expectations, creating a meta-narrative that goes beyond and expands on what the original instalment wanted to do in an absurd but masterful way. The less you know about it before you play it, the better.
    • 83 Metascore

    Loop Hero is a title reminiscent of those dice, pencil and notebook role-playing games. Highly addictive and with a very good looking artwork, this game is an indie gem on Nintendo Switch.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The Pokémon revolution we've been waiting decades for comes in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a title that while not a graphical benchmark on Nintendo Switch, is incredibly fun and addictive with its innovative gameplay mechanics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Windjammers 2 is a playable ode to the original arcade game that relies on its multiplayer and renewed artwork to offer us a truly addictive proposal. Unfortunately, its lack of ambition, by not betting on including new game modes, prevents the game from taking advantage of its full potential.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Monark has good ideas. However, it falls short in what it tries to achieve. This is a niche JRPG that, while it can be entertaining, has other shortcomings that prevent us from recommending it to everyone. Still, hardcore fans of the genre will find something to enjoy here.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Atelier Sophie 2 is a game that retains the conventions of the franchise, but improves on them a little. With exquisite visuals, more features such as no loading screens when entering battle, and a decent story, this is another Japanese RPG that fans of the series will love, but may not sit well with newcomers.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    The amalgamation of ways of trying to monetise and squeeze Chocobo GP tears to shreds a game that can be fun, but fails to deliver a complete experience that has to be rebuilt on the back of cash.

    • 81 Critic Score
    Triangle Strategy will make you experience a great story with a very strategic game system that will remind you of the classics of the genre. Its gameplay could use some tweaking, but thanks to its story, the game will grab you from the very first moment.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A warm fairy tale with wonderful audio-visual aspects, but little gameplay innovation. If you are looking for a short adventure that allows you to experience a good turn-based RPG experience without having to invest too much time in it, this game is a very good option for that.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a good fighting game aimed at fans of Persona 3 and Persona 4 who were eager to meet their charismatic casts again in a new adventure. It has plenty of game modes and extras, but it's still a niche release with only a few additions and some things to polish up.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Although its characters are charismatic and its gameplay can be entertaining, aspects of Rune Factory 5 such as its technical aspect or its lack of visual grace make us realise that we are in front of a title mainly focused on the fans of the series that are looking forward for a new adventure in the town of Rigbarth.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Kirby has had its first firm step into three-dimensional platform adventures with The Forgotten Land. It delivers remarkably well on everything it sets out to do, although it also has room for improvement in all of its areas.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It combines exploration, platforming, puzzles, impressive combat and gameplay as simple as it is addictive. Spice it up with Peruvian folklore and add a dash of metroidvania, a bit of soulslike and stunning artwork.

    LEGO Star Wars on Nintendo Switch is the final compilation of the Skywalker story with all its nine episodes, humorously and faithfully depicted. An entertaining action adventure all around.

    Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is almost the best possible rebirth for a Japanese RPG classic in Europe. Although it has its flaws, such as frame drops at times, its complex plot and original mechanics make it an incredible game for lovers of the genre.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is an unmissable game in the Nintendo Switch games lineup. Although it does not introduce new content in this version, the game is worth just for the fact of being able to be played on handheld mode. An unrepeatable gem that you have to try if you like science fiction stories or the adventure genre.
