There are plenty of game modes and the visual component is very close to a real poker game. At the same time, the required internet connection makes this a much less convenient handheld experience on the Nintendo Switch, and it's difficult to understand why the visuals are so downgraded when compared to a television screen, but crossplatform play between different formats is a point in its favour.- Starbit

Jump Force Deluxe Edition arrives on the Nintendo Switch with some concessions regarding its technical aspects and if the character roster and special moves will certainly appeal to the fans of the series that are portrayed here, the rest of the audience will mostly feel that the game's shortcomings regarding its visual performance and rather lacklustre combat is not enough to stand out from its peers.- Starbit

The lack of creative freedom and imposition of constricting rules when it comes to key decisions, as well as its short lifespan and slow pace, make The Unexpected Quest a lackluster game, whose lack of touchscreen controls further contribute to aggravate.- Starbit

While the art style is marvelous to look at and the plot is quite captivating, the game doesn't really bring anything new that we cannot find in many other titles. YesterMorrow draws inspiration from timeless classics but doesn't quite replicate their formula in the same way. A work that's worth trying, but some of its potential was lost.- Starbit

While it's laudable that the game is quick to welcome players, who will find it very simple to step in, Robo Wars is too simple for its own good, and its repetitiveness leads inevitably to a more monotonous experience that has few points to set it apart from its peers.- Starbit

Connection Haunted has an original concept joined to an interesting game world and several alternative endings. At the same time, it offers little in terms of longevity as its main idea is done with too quickly. Then again, this game does not intend to be a monumental work but rather a simple, if immersive, horror experience. In the end, there's plenty to explore here for a potential sequel.- Starbit

Apparition draws inspiration from some of the most successful horror-themed games of the last decade and it certainly succeeds at inspiring fear and dread, causing chills down the player's spine in sheer terror that the game's wretched ghosts are right around the corner. Unfortunately Apparition's limitations when it comes to its narrow and short experience, excessive repetition and unambitious visual environment make its appeal very limited to a niche of horror games fans and not much more.- Starbit

There aren't many city building games on the Nintendo Switch, let alone with adventure elements. Unfortunately the way Mittelborg was executed leads to a sub-par effort. With controls that are difficult to get used to, a lack of touch-screen interaction, very little variety on what's happening during the gameplay and a poor translation and plot development, Mittelborg: City of Mages turns out to be a major disappointment after creating reasonable expectations.- Starbit

Tiny Racer may not be very ambitious but unfortunately, it doesn't try to be a good racing game either. Despite a good speed performance, nothing else seems to work as it should in the game, and after looking at vehicles that may look different but behave identically, the game's driving mechanics simply don't stand up to the standards that most players expect from racing games. Overall, Tiny Racer is not a worthy alternative to the other racing games on the Nintendo Switch online catalogue.- Starbit

Super Soccer Blast doesn't propose an extremely serious and realistic football simulation but it does a good job at offering a fun arcade-like experience, with intuitive gameplay and an enjoyable local multiplayer component. Not being the most ambitious football game ever made, its options can feel rather limited but it's a good choice for players looking for a less stressful football experience.- Starbit

Party Hard 2 is not exactly your typical party game...or a party game at all, for that matter. On the contrary, it's an anti-party game, in the sense that players will have to murder party goers and revelers in order to get a quiet night. Concept aside, Party Hard 2 works quite well in its mechanics and it delivers a good dose of fun, for those who can handle the thought that the game's 'hero' is a killer of party goers, that is.- Starbit

Over The Alps is a game with a lovely looking presentation and a concept that's original and interesting. If those two elements raise the game's threshold, it's also not any less true that the plot development and the way the gameplay flows is hardly passionate or exciting. For a game based on espionage, the plot choices are strangely inconsequential and this makes players feel like their actions have little impact on what's happening, which ends up standing as an impediment to the ambitions of Over The Alps.- Starbit

Postal Redux can be seen as a sort of a time capsule that brings us back to the second half of the 1990s, when unlimited on-screen violence could make a name for a new game. While this version includes several improvements, it still feels like it's stuck in its original time. The new Rampage mode is certainly worthy of note but everything else here is visibly outdated and should be seen with nostalgia in mind, rather than as an effort to stand out in today's world.- Starbit

Remothered: Broken Porcelain follows the trail of two other horror-based games that while far from perfect, did display some interesting ideas. Unfortunately, this attempt to wrap the Remothered trilogy does not succeed in any front. If the visual downgrades can somehow be explained by the Nintendo Switch conversion, the other serious issues in this work are simply inexcusable - controls that don't work and actions that don't happen, unsynchronized dialogue lines, random crashes, long loading times...all this amounts to an experience that has nothing going for it.- Starbit

Maid of Sker may be a rather short experience but it's a very rewarding at providing a frightening environment that excels at all levels. The game's use of the audio framework in this buildup of fear is particularly well executed and the result is a horror-themed game that fans and many more members of the audience will enjoy and which will fit perfectly in anyone's Nintendo Switch.- Starbit

While the gameplay can feel entirely different depending on the control scheme used, this doesn't affect Ellipsis' value as a good and fun game for shorter sessions. Those looking for a more in depth work, however, will find that Ellipsis is too short and runs out of options quickly enough.- Starbit

While its visual environment might impress at first, the gameplay is rather limited due to the lack of single player options and absence of enough players to allow for a varied online experience, not to mention that the performance on the Nintendo Switch is far from stellar and the controller input lag can make things more frustrating. All in all, Override 2: Super Mech League lost a good chance to make a name for itself.- Starbit

Super Sports Blast is a compilation that gathers the three previous games under the Super Sports name in one offer, bringing tennis, volleyball and football under one game. While the gameplay of the original titles is left intact, this compilation adds nothing to the overall experience and its sole advantage is the convenience of having all three games in on package. Players looking for a simple and accessible experience will enjoy themselves, but the lack of an online multiplayer is something that should be corrected in the future.- Starbit

Nekopara Vol. 4 continues the series of Visual Novels with the particularity that unlike most of its peers, there are no multiple endings here, but that's not necessarily negative. This chapter features a marvelous visual presentation, as well as a plot full of comedic and absurdist elements that will amuse everyone, though its risqué elements can feel exaggerated sometimes.- Starbit

Torn Tales: Rebound Edition takes iconic fairy tale and novel characters and puts them at the centre of a fun and simple hack and slash RPG doing things we would not expect them to do, and it works great. The action mechanics are rather simple and easy to learn, and the game allows players of different paces to make their own experience. If only it featured a cooperative multiplayer component, Torn Tales: Rebound Edition would play even better.- Starbit

Thanks to its audiovisual environment and to a good mix of puzzle and point & click elements, this is a work that won't look out of place in the collection of any horror fans, even though it doesn't have much to offer once it's finished.- Starbit

With a minimalist art style and a perfectly accessible formula, Bamerang could definitely benefit from an online multiplayer component and some more solo play options, especially given the times we're in. Nonetheless, for a simple party game with local multiplayer, Bamerang is great fun, even if too short given the simplicity of its formula.- Starbit

Knight Squad 2 doesn't spend much time with complex plots or mechanics - it's an action game where everything is simple and quick to assimilate, and that's its biggest strength. Up to eight players can take part in rounds of frantic combat across a great deal of game modes, and while this might not be the most engaging experience for solo players, those looking for multiplayer fun will find an insane amount of hectic moments in Knight Squad 2.- Starbit

Its plot is simple, but fits the game perfectly, and the additional content is a perfect match with what the game brought before, featuring a unique alchemy system and a new way of concocting recipes. Along with the characters and their interactions, this is a very well done work that adds to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.- Starbit

The second chapter of Atelier's Mysterious Trilogy keeps some things recognizable whereas others are new, and this doesn't always work perfectly. The open world is a very good addition but the time limit is hard to grasp. Its plot is not the greatest asset and combat remains mostly the same, but overall this is something that Atelier fans should discover on their own.- Starbit

Without the intricacies of detailed simulations, there's plenty of fun to be found here, especially in local multiplayer sessions. The lack of online multiplayer, though, is difficult to understand, and the short number of teams and game modes, and an AI that doesn't always work like we'd expect can make for a rather limited and less consistent game. In any case, players looking for simple, quick football action have something cost-efficient to find with Super Soccer Blast: America vs Europe.- Starbit

Dotori doesn't fulfill any of the benchmarks expected for games of its genre, though. Due to controls that make the experience more difficult and frustrating, a poor visual presentation and a level design that's anything but interesting and motivating, Dotori doesn't come any near the best choices for action platformers on the Nintendo Switch.- Starbit

With a difficulty curve that feels just right, players will find themselves mired in a growing challenge that is implemented at the right time, as well as with an experience that can be perfectly enjoyed whether on a television screen or on the Nintendo Switch screen, given its short missions.- Starbit

Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings DX is, as the name implies, an enhanced version of the original game, one which can also be found on the Nintendo Switch. Amid improvements to the combat system and the inclusion of the downloadable content, this enhanced version will be a good addition for long-running fans of the Atelier series, and it obviously represents a great opportunity for those less familiar with the original game.- Starbit

It's a demanding game, with a tough and demanding difficulty level and a good selling price, but which also brings little that has not been seen before many times. Its difficulty could be too frustrating for less experienced players, while its lack of original material means it won't quite standout among its peers.- Starbit
