    Considering its troubled and long development cycle, it is almost a miracle that Dead Island 2 turned out as polished as it did. No issues at all on PC either. The game has its strengths, however, it feels a bit repetitive after a few hours.

    Pato Box not only succeeds in recreating the Punch-Out!! boxing experience; but it also pushes the formula further with a very good adventure mode, a great graphic style and a group of strange, unique characters.

    Aegis Defenders is a very fun experience especially if you are playing cooperatively, but the action platforming segments felt too short and the game was a bit slow at the beginning.

    Soul Hackers 2 mixes great elements of both Shin Megami Tensei and Persona to come out with a satisfying result overall. Story is well done and exciting, anime-style aesthetics are beautiful, and music by Monaca is engaging. This could be your next RPG sleeper hit.

    House of Ashes is the best episode in the Dark Pictures Anthology so far. Some adjustments and additions add more depth to the experience, and while some cons from previous episodes persist, the overall quality of the experience is higher.

    BPM: Bullets Per Minute is a rhythmic shooter done well gameplay-wise, although it needed some more polishing and some additions here and there, it's a game that may become addictive once you get the grasp of it.

    LEGO 2K Drive has an unexpectedly beautiful world, short challenges, and many collectibles that encourage exploration with memorable races and great content. However, weapons need better implementation, and side activities could've been designed to suit the gameplay better, not to mention the push for microtransactions to buy new vehicles.

    At first I didn't expect much but Winds of Change turned out to be surprisingly a good story with a Bioware-like structure.The world building is well thought-out and detailed, characters are varied each with his/her own background and motives, and the conflict between The Triumvirate and The rebellion is interesting. Pacing is a bit slow, though.

    One Piece Odyssey is an excellent introduction to an Anime's world into RPGs. The gameplay is fun, with great content and a new adventure with the Straw Hat Pirates.

    Despite feeling limited by development resources with mediocre A.I for enemies and limited movements, Aragami has a certain rhythm to its gameplay and it can be quite addictive sometimes. I don't think stealth games fans will be disappointed. The storytelling is also good with slow and satisfying world/characters building. This version has small technical issues though.

    Kirby Star Allies is entertaining, but as usual Kirby doesn't offer any real challenge for the hardcore fans of the genre. Still, using a group of characters at the same time is great fun.

    Muse Dash is another great rhythm game on the Switch eShop. Its presentation is beautiful, and the game is full of color and personality. The difficulty scales very well too. However, not everyone will like the music collection and I felt there should've been a bit more variety.

    The developers made a great effort as fighting hordes of zombies is as fun as ever. The story was very enjoyable with a satisfying ending. But some design choices really hurt the game at the end such as generic side quests and a disappointing online mode.

    Team Sonic Racing is a solid enough karting experience, but it feels like a major step back from the brilliant Transformed, and doesn't offer enough to present itself as a valid competitor to Mario Kart 8.

    THQ Nordic has been doing a great job with Switch ports, and Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered feels like a perfect fit for the Switch: a fun action game in your pocket with completely destructible environment, a variety of gameplay modes, and solid technical performance.

    Days Gone is a pretty good Open World Action game. However, it does have the usual issues that we can see in many Open World games as it does not bring anything new to the table and you won't see the massive hordes of zombies rushing to feast upon you until the second half of the game.

    Code Vein 2 offers a familiar experience for fans of the first game, and it improves the world which is bigger and better this time around.

    Sea of Solitude is an interactive experience that succeeds in what it set out to do, and we welcome its positive message.
