A stunning audiovisual world coupled with a ton of content to explore, even more objects to inhale and an impeccably executed co-op component make this a fantastic premiere in a genre where we too often think the last word has been written - it has not, and Kirby is here to remind us.- Starbit

Nobody Saves the World is a charming action RPG with a beautiful visual style, accessible and welcoming gameplay, and a great variety in how we handle its dungeons. Its mechanics are simple enough for any player to grasp but that doesn't mean its difficulty level doesn't get demanding. Nobody Saves the World is a fun and ambitious gem that goes beyond the label of an 'indie' game and which will fit nicely in any Nintendo Switch.- Starbit

Its accessible difficulty level is a very positive element for less experienced players but along with a rather slow pacing, it makes this effort less attractive for more versed hands. All in all, The Cruel King and the Great Hero may not tower above its peers but it's certainly a worthy and lovely-looking work to explore.- Starbit

Chocobo GP brings us back to the world of go-kart racing with these famous Square-Enix characters and what we have here is a fun game with a huge cast and a very motivating main campaign with plenty of content to unlock and a well implemented online multiplayer component. It takes a considerable amount of time to unlock every single item but what's on offer here is a very wide and long-lasting game that will certainly make fans happy.- Starbit

Under the guise of a puzzle-platformer, what we have here is an emotionally enthralling game that pits us in an immersive experience where subjects like love and grief are masterfully presented in a way very few games manage to do. Lost Words: Beyond the Page is without any doubt a work that deserves to be in everyone's Nintendo Switch collection.- Starbit

TAITO Milestones is a compilation of ten TAITO arcade games of the 1980s, some of which less known to the general audience. If the emulation of the games is done successfully, the overall presentation and interface is rather poor, as there are no extras about the games or TAITO that could sweeten this package, not to mention a lack of online multiplayer. Overall this could have been used to present a broader look at TAITO's past.- Starbit

Ashwalkers is based on an interesting post-apocalyptic theme and features a wide profusion of possible endings to its plot. Nevertheless and despite its good intentions, the game suffers from too many technical issues, a control response that's subpar at best, and a lack of connection between the game mechanics and the experience, where players end up feeling that what's promised in terms of bonding with the characters and required emotional investment doesn't really pay off.- Starbit

Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX is a re-edition with some modern touches of two cult classics of the 32-bit generation. While some aspects feel outdated, this work holds quite well and it will bring a smile to the faces of fans of the original games thanks to its qualities around the in-depth development of creatures, their design, and the amount of content to explore.- Starbit

The action packed titles bring with them a great length of gameplay, as well as visible improvements between them. Even though the adaptation is not perfect and there are some visual choices which look questionable, any fan who wants to pick these games again or to discover them for the first time will find a great package in The Ezio Collection, which also includes two short films.- Starbit

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the most ambitious game not just in the LEGO Star Wars series but in the entire series of LEGO games. With that ambition comes a great deal of positive elements for this experience, namely the outstanding representation of the Star Wars universe, the incredible amount of content, a more in-depth and developed combat system, and a difficulty level that's compatible with all audiences. Truly a remarkable work that will fit great in any Nintendo Switch.- Starbit

Egglia Rebirth brings us an RPG where the gameplay mechanics involve exploration and construction, topped off by a humorous and welcoming environment and plot. Simple and accessible, Egglia Rebirth is best enjoyed in shorter game sessions, given its origin as a game developed for mobile devices which leads to a feeling of repetitiveness if played like most of its console counterparts. Nonetheless, those looking for a fun, comical and accessible experience will find a great time with Egglia Rebirth.- Starbit

Simple and unambitious, Tinker Racers is not the most stunningly beautiful game ever made, but what it lacks in high production values it more than makes up for in frantic gameplay, especially on local multiplayer. An indie gem for fans of fun-packed multiplayer racing games.- Starbit

Triangle Strategy brings us a fantastic tactical RPG with a very appealing combat system, a dense and enveloping plot, and a slick visual look. Needless to say, this is a delightful experience for fans of tactical turn-based action who enjoy getting into the details of each character and plan the skills and attributes of each member of their party accordingly. A true gem that Nintendo Switch owners are lucky to have in their console.- Starbit

PowerSlave Exhumed brings back a mid-1990s FPS classic, one of the most refreshing and innovative games of its time. This adaptation to the modern era is a remarkable work that captures the very best of the original, and works smoothly and with great controls on the Nintendo Switch today. This classic with emphasis on action and exploration provides a marvelous ambiance that surrounds the player and shows how the original was ahead of its time. Strongly recommended for all FPS fans.- Starbit

Lacuna is an intellectual challenge dressed up in a marvelous pixel art style that puts us in a futuristic world where crime and mystery are rife. With its emphasis on puzzle-solving and reasoning, Lacuna keeps players on their toes when advancing through its intricate, captivating plot and the quality of the work on the Nintendo Switch means this is a marvelous game that can be thoroughly enjoyed anywhere.- Starbit

With fast-paced, albeit very simple gameplay and a lovely looking visual environment, Super Arcade Football is much more suited for a multiplayer experience as its artificial intelligence is rather lacklustre and will leave solo players a bit underwhelmed with what's at hand.- Starbit

Pokémon Legends: Arceus reinvents the formula of the Pokémon series and delivers one of the finest chapters ever made in the monster-catching universe. Its wide, open world may not look the most impressive but the exploration is very motivating, the game pace is very well executed, and the changes made to the formula with regards to the fighting system and ways of completing the quest all contribute to make this a groundbreaking game in the Pokémon series and a marvelous starting point towards a new direction.- Starbit

River City Girls Zero brings back the 1994 game featuring the origins of the characters. While this is a good way to introduce current players to the original work, the game's slow pace feels out of touch with today and its lifespan is too short for current day expectations. Still, its gameplay is simple and intuitive, and the way the game is executed on the Nintendo Switch works very well.- Starbit

While the plot is hardly worth praising and is too predominant throughout the game, the frantic action in the boss fights and the game's visually appealing presentation, together with captivating gameplay mechanics make Luminous Avenger iX 2 something that fans of the original game and of the Mega Man X series will definitely enjoy.- Starbit

Never Alone: Arctic Collection consists of the original Never Alone that was released on the Wii U in 2015, as well as an additional set of downloadable content. While some of the gameplay in this puzzle-platformer feels rather imprecise and the mechanics are a bit dated, there is a redeeming dimension in this Arctic Collection (already observed in the original) in the way it portrays and inform the player about the Iñupiat people of Alaska and translates the barren Arctic landscapes into the game.- Starbit

OlliOlli World delivers a fantastically fun and motivating experience based on skateboarding in a 2D environment, fully in line with its predecessors. Joining an excellent level design and magnificent artwork and soundtrack, OlliOlli World pushes players to perform in a creative and daring way through its skillfully designed levels and the result is a game that fits perfectly, whether on a television screen or on the Nintendo Switch screen.- Starbit

The Caligula Effect 2 improves on several aspects of the original, namely the combat system, and brings an exquisite story with many captivating elements, very well written characters, as well as a stunning soundtrack. At the same time, its level design could use improvements, and even though the soundtrack is indeed one of the game's top assets, some of its tracks are repeated to the point of exhaustion, which only leads to saturation. Overall this is an enjoyable experience which could have turned out better if some of those elements had been addressed.- 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

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

This is no frantic action game, rather its experience is about diving and tracking different maritime species, with a background plot that helps the players know more about the main character. The gameplay is relaxing and contemplative, and it has a relevant educational pillar, though there could have been a lot more done here to further advance the exploration aspect of the game, not to mention that the graphics feel rather sub-par, which is disappointing in a game that depends so much on its visual dimension.- Starbit

The gameplay mechanics, which benefit immensely from touch controls on the Nintendo Switch screen, will grab the players right away and those with creative skills will feel even more stimulated by how the game advances. A real gem of a game that contributes to enrich the Nintendo Switch catalogue beautifully.- Starbit

Super Animal Royale brings something new to the battle royale genre, namely an approach that keeps a frantic and action-packed gameplay while making its world accessible to all age groups by toning down the raw violence found in other similar games. The experience is marvelous for anyone who's looking for a thrilling time, especially with the added advantage of multi-platform crossplay.- Starbit
