    It's always good to be able to play the whole trilogy on the go with all the content for a reasonable price, but it feels like a rushed port. It's still enjoyable, of course, but the graphic quality is lower than expected.

    Solo is beautiful and charming. An absorbing, peaceful puzzle adventure, hindered a little bit by its pacing, but that feels great to play.

    Behind what looks like a simplistic design, there's a game much more complex than you would think. Fun and addictive, it's a game that's worth a try.

    For us, Spanish players, this game is only digital, only in English and a little bit pricey, so many of us might decide to ignore it, but if you give it an opportunity you'll find a great RPG.

    Frostpunk is addictive, accessible but hard to master, and deeper than you expect, not only when it comes you gameplay, but what it actually manages to make you feel.

    The Swords of Ditto is a charming adventure, very enjoyable and almost a must-have if you're playing it with friends.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is an original adventure that you'll probably love or hate. We've had a good time with it, and even though it could've improved some aspects, we think it's worth your time if you're looking for something different.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    It's a game without a purpose. VR can be a great medium if you have the right idea, but this is not the case. If you are a big fan of the franchise, you might enjoy it, but if not, there are better options out there.

    If we analyze its individual aspects, Regalia doesn't do anything particularly outstanding, but as a whole it works pretty well and it's a very enjoyable adventure.

    This title takes the best of the mobile versions of the series and brings it to Switch with a solid and unique execution.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a game for a specific audience, who knows how funny and absurd Gal Gun can be. It improves some aspects over its predecessor, but there's still many things that need to be worked on.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is a pretty good experience for fans of the series, but it lasts an hour and a half, and it feels pretty expensive. If you just want to be part of this world and you don't mind the adventure doesn't last long, then this is your game.

    Kratos returns with an epic action adventure that redefines some aspects the series but keeps its essence intact.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It isn't particularly deep or complex, but considering the lack of RTS on consoles, Masters of Anima can be a good choice.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Extinction is promising, but it gets boring way too soon. Behind an interesting concept there is repetitive experience that could've been so much more.
    • 65 Metascore

    Jalopy is a game with very interesting ideas but a very poor execution. We'd like to think the biggest issues are going to be fixed –then it'll be a game you should try.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting mix of platforming and puzzle. It isn't perfect, but it's definitely original and enjoyable.
    • 82 Metascore

    This year's entry plays it safe, improving the gameplay without taking any risks. We always miss new additions, but the core remains excellent.
    • 78 Metascore

    The Adventure Pals is fun and charming. It doesn't do anything particularly unique, but we did have a great time playing it.

    This season has had its ups and downs, but this final episode is just great, and reminds us of the best of Telltale.
    • 81 Metascore

    Epic has done an amazing job. It looks great, and it plays pretty good considering the limitations of the hardware. Also, being able to carry all your progress from another platform is just perfect.

    Minit is original and fresh, one of those rare examples of how to make something unique and surprising in video games.

    This is a pretty interesting concept, with good ideas and the originality you expect from NIS, although it gets a little bit repetitive.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's a good sequel, but it doesn't fix any of the issues of the original title and it lacks that NIS magic you expect from their games. If you really enjoyed the first one, you'll enjoy this one too.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Fable Fortunes borrows many ideas from its competitors, but it doesn't do anything better than them. The idea still works, but unless you really like the franchise, there's nothing here you won't find somewhere else.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting take on the Pokemon franchise. It's quite accessible, so if you're looking for a light-hearted adventure with a very unique protagonist, this is your game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This new adventure doesn't bring new changes. It's still fun and enjoyable, but the combat and exploration need to be revisited.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Far Cry is back with yet another great adventure. Far Cry 5 is stunning, fun, has tons of content and a lot of care has been put into every single aspect of the game. The only thing missing is some innovation.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It’s an interesting experience, hindered by the lack of information the game provides about it. The ingredients are good, but it needs more seasoning.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    We always have a great time playing Sea of Thieves, but we need more content and options to give us a reason to come back. It’s something unique, so make sure you try it and decide if this pirate life is for you.

    Castle of Heart accomplishes everything it wants to do, but it doesn't really excells at anything. It's enjoyable and satisfying, and a good option for Switch owners.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    This is one of those games you can enjoy playing locally with your friends, but its lack of depth makes it less appealing for the long run.
    • 75 Metascore

    Ghost of a Tale is a charming adventure, beautifully designed and very clever. If you're looking for something different, check it out.

    Titan Quest hasn't aged very well. It can be appealing if you really, really love the genre, but that's pretty much it.
    • 71 Metascore

    Rogue still is very enjoyable, maybe even more than you think, but if you already played it this remaster doesn't offer anything new.
    • 79 Metascore

    A Way Out is something new and fresh that ironically brings nostalgic feelings. It's unique and original, and if you miss coop adventures, you can't miss it.
    • 75 Metascore

    If you like twin-stick shooters and challenging your skills, this title is a pretty good choice, with solid gameplay and an original setting.

    If you liked the first title or the Warhammer universe, you're going to enjoy this. It pretty much evolves and improves everything from its predecessor to create a great experience.
    • 84 Metascore

    If you're looking for classic RPG with that touch of magic and uniqueness, make sure you don't miss this adventure. A new unforgettable work from Level-5.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The Long Reach takes the horror genre and mixes it up with some classic point-and-click-like puzzles. This works quite well, although the illogical nature of these puzzles sometimes can ruin the horror mood.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The original one was good, and this sequel takes everything from it and improves upon it. If you like AoT, you can't miss it.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Maybe it isn't Kazuma's biggest adventure, but it's the most espectacular and personal. Yakuza 6 is the swan song fans of the franchise can't miss.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Kirby is back and it’s as charming as ever, but this adventure isn’t as good as the best ones in the series. It is a good game, but it’s way too easy (even for a Kirby game) and a little uninspired.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great puzzle game, beautifully designed and with a very well measured difficulty. If you like the genre, don’t miss it.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Showdown is a disappointing spin-off of a very unique franchise. It has some fun moments, but it ends up being dull too soon.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The Council tries to do something new with the narrative adventure genre and it succeeds. An very interesting mix of narrative and RPG, with a promising cast and premise.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A good compilation of great games. It doesn't offer anything new, but it's always good to have games available on more platforms.
    • 69 Metascore

    This second episode is longer, better and more elaborated than the original so, if you liked it, make sure you play this one too.

    This studio is unique and it proves it once again. Chuchel is beautiful, fun and charming, and if you like this type of game, you shouldn't miss it.

    As a game, it’s great to go back to Paradise City and rediscover a game that made history; as a remaster, it feels a bit like a low-effort and expensive one.

    If you like The Behemoth, you know what to expect. It's their own take on the genre: fun, crazy and it doesn't take anything too seriously. And that's what makes it good.

    This is a good way to get into battle royale games. It's fun, fast-paced and accessible, and enjoyable in short sessions.

    If you like FPS and want to make the most of your Aim Controller, Bravo Team can be a good option. Other than that, it lacks ambition and a more elaborated gameplay.

    It lacks content and the tutorials could be more detailed for non-gamers, but as a party game for casual gatherings, Frantics is a very good choice.

    Pop-Up Pilgrims is a very interesting Lemmings-like concept designed for the VR. If you like this type of strategy game, give it a try.

    This adventure comes back with a decent remaster to give us another opportunity to enjoy a kind of forgotten 3D platformer.

    Sedna has a fair amount of problems, but it also has many positive aspects and good ideas that successfully bring back the spirit of the franchise.
    • 74 Metascore

    This is a unique game full of amazing stories, but it doesn’t make gameplay a priority, creating some dull mechanics and boring sequences.

    Moss is the best game available for PSVR at the moment. If you like puzzles, platforming and action and you have a PSVR headset, you shouldn't miss it.

    Mulaka is an interesting game, although it doesn't do anythig particularly new. If you're looking for an adventure in a different world while you learn about a different culture, give it a try.

    Past Cure does many things well, but it fails where it's more important: at its core mechanics. Dull and repetitive shootings and boring and unfair stealth make some sequences almost unbearables, but there are some good moments too. Let's hope a few patches can improve the adventure.

    Fatal Bullet isn't perfect, but it's a very enjoyable game thanks to its well-designed core mechanics. If you like SAO, you'll enjoy this game.

    As with other games, PayDay 2 sacrifices some content and updates to make it to the Switch. If you don't care that much about the content and having the game on a hybrid platform is appealing, then you'll enjoy this version.

    Remothered offers a taste of the classic survival horror, reminding us of games like Clock Tower and Haunting Ground, and it does it with great production values for an indie title. It's not perfect, but if you like being chased and relying on the stealthy approach, give it a try.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Rust is still as addictive as it was. Maybe, because of its early success, we expected more from it, and in that case it can be disappointed. It still needs to be polished and improved, but at its core, Rust is a great crafting and survival game.

    We would've liked to see Nintendo pushing its own hardware further with this version, but Bayonetta 2 is one of the best hack & slash ever made, and being able to play it anywhere is just the perfect excuse to discover this masterpiece.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Bayonetta is still great, although it's outshined by its incredible sequel. If you've never played it, you can discover the whole series on Switch, and on top of that, enjoy it for the first time on the go.

    It doesn't have any groundbreaking additions, but the game still is a very interesting choice for those looking for a new 2D fighter, or for those who missed the previous version. Or, of course, for the hardcore fans of the franchise.

    This is a pretty interesting 2D shooter, with a very solid gameplay and good ideas. It doesn't bring many additions to Switch, but its price is well adjusted and overall it's worth your time.
