    Dead Cells is absolutely amazing. This game is to action games what Celeste was for platforming games when it was released earlier this year. Dead Cells has it all: great and speedy combat, fantastic progression system (you'll see), and amazing music that you will come back to listen to.

    Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 looks great on Switch. The core game is fun and the art style is fantastic with a lot of attention to details, but we wished the experience lasted a little longer. however, it is a great choice on the eShop if you like the genre.

    It is obvious that a huge amount of love and care went into creating this game. it is almost unbelievable that one person managed to create this wonderful adventure. if you like 16-bit games, you owe it to yourself to play this game. the only issue we had with it is the fact that tweaks aren't really that helpful, which impacted our desire to explore more.

    Mega Man X Legacy Collection is the package that any fan of the franchise or a first-timer would want, although X Challenge mode doesn't add much to it, it's still worth buying.

    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.

    Little Witch Academia is a game that is aimed at the series fans first and foremost. It is hard to recommend this game to anyone else because of its bland environments and repetitive events, despite some unique designs that we liked.

    It is almost guaranteed that you will have a great time with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze especially if you didn't play it before, it is a fantastic 2.5D platformer. However, it is annoying that the game is full price even without adding any new content (other than Funky).

    This game has a wonderful, colorful world to explore, and it provided us with a lot of fun, but the voice acting was lacking, and we wished to be able to choose the difficulty because the game was way too easy.

    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.

    Owlboy has a beautiful adventure with a good story, and while the game is short and not perfect in terms of gameplay, it has the ability to leave you with plenty of memories. Owlboy is not for everyone though.

    A Hat in Time is a decent game that suffers from some technical issues, and while it doesn't present anything new for the platforming genre, it has the potential to provide a better experience future installments if it thinks out of the box more and more.

    This game reached its peak early and then became weaker with every new chapter. It is not as well designed as the first game and it doesn't reach its uniqueness in the art style, but it had its strong moments and those moments will be very pleasing for Survival Horror fans.
