    Although this third installment was starting to feel somewhat repetitive, No Sleep for Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files stands out thanks to its fresh gameplay mechanics, particularly its clever escape rooms. A welcome twist that revitalizes the experience while preserving the series’ trademark absurd humor.

    Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake brings back the origins of Dragon Quest in a beautiful and faithful remake that modernizes just enough without losing its essence, while clearly showing the seams of its age.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 with a stable port that remains visually faithful to the original. It may not be the deepest game in the catalog, but its spectacular art direction and emotional story more than make up for its lack of gameplay complexity.

    Is This Seat Taken? is a lighthearted, charming, and delightful experience, featuring clever puzzles and an enchanting visual style. Though somewhat short and not overly challenging, it offers a relaxing experience that perfectly achieves its purpose: a small geometric delight.

    Persona 5 Tactica showcases just how well-built the Persona 5 universe is, and even though its story is a mere pretext, it surprises with its gameplay based on the tactical role-playing genre.

    Oxenfree II: Lost Signals embraces the player and makes them a key pillar of a story where every conversation matters. It may falter in its puzzles and the amount of dialogue may be overwhelming for some, but the depth of its cast and storyline invites you to replay it several times to discover absolutely everything that happens in Camena.

    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.

    Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is one of the most mature stories Nintendo has ever created. Its impeccable narrative and graphics may be hindered by classic gameplay that hasn’t aged particularly well, but if you can look beyond that, it becomes an incredibly gripping and thrilling journey.

    The best entry point to the Yakuza series. Kiwami is a heartbreaking story of redemption where the combat and the setting grab you despite its technical weaknesses.

    A moving and very brief audiovisual experience that stands out for its unique art and wordless narrative, deeply connecting with players through the beauty of everyday life.

    Ghost Trick is a fantastic game that explores new ways to play and surprise the player. The Nintendo Switch version has been correctly upscaled, without much work behind it, but at least bringing the basic experience of this classic ghostly adventure.

    Shuten Order is a dark visual novel that blends multiple narrative genres depending on the path you choose. Although its mechanics are somewhat superficial and certain sections can feel tedious, its intriguing story and memorable characters make it worth seeing through to the end.

    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.

    Short yet intense. Bubble Ghost Remake is unforgiving, yet each small victory feels incredibly rewarding. A true love letter to retro gaming, perfect for players who enjoy a real challenge.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cronos: The New Dawn is a solid choice for survival horror fans, combining classic elements with fresh mechanics and a genuinely terrifying atmosphere. Although the Nintendo Switch 2 version has some visual downgrades and minor technical issues, the overall experience remains intense, immersive, and enjoyable, especially thanks to Mouse Mode controls and gyroscopic aiming.

    WarioWare delivers a new batch of brilliant minigames although it has some issues, such as a somewhat slow and dull selection of multiplayer modes, and a slightly short duration.

    Sonic x Shadow Generations arrives on Switch 2 as the ultimate tribute to the blue blur, blending nostalgia and speed with a surprisingly bold and spectacular Shadow campaign. A solid package, though technically improvable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    An accurate online multiplayer submarine exploration experience that focuses on discovering marine wildlife and relaxation. The loss in sound quality compared to its predecessors is evident, as is the increase in the amount of content available and a wealth of collectibles to keep you entertained for dozens of hours.

    It successfully updates its original formula, offering a visually appealing and fun-to-play experience with mouse mode, although it still has some technical issues to polish before becoming a perfect adaptation on Nintendo Switch 2.

    While Rayman's appearance in the game is simply justified by fan service, it's evident that the Mario + Rabbids team has put a lot of care and dedication into the character to give him the respect he deserves. The Phantom Show provides an adventure that matches the quality of the other game worlds and leaves us feeling satisfied.
