    The best and most complete musou game of this generation, with a good number of characters, some of them really charming. If you like this genre, this is better than the recent Dynasty Warriors games and has a lot of possibilities.

    Isles of Sea and Sky presents a charmingly nostalgic 8-bit graphical style reminiscent of classic Zelda games, featuring intricate Sokoban-style puzzles spread across various islands. While its artistic presentation and puzzle complexity are highlights, the game suffers from occasional frustration due to unclear progression requirements and cumbersome navigation.

    Ball x Pit combines chaotic Breakout-style gameplay with roguelite decision-making, offering satisfying progression through city-building and unlocking new heroes, while its intense visual and gameplay stimuli keep players engaged, though the challenge can sometimes swing too easily between frustrating and overpowered.

    Cold War is a solid entry that still delivers hours and hours of fun, mostly in its multiplayer modes, as usual. However, we miss some bigger changes like previous entries offered.

    A remarkable action-adventure game at a very reasonable price, which nostalgic players will love.

    An evocative homage to classic JRPGs, Fantasian Neo Dimension offers strategic combat, a stunning handcrafted aesthetic, and a nostalgic tone. Despite minor flaws like repetitive side quests and limited exploration, its engaging boss battles and Nobuo Uematsu's masterful soundtrack deliver a heartfelt experience for fans of the genre.

    It uses many stereotypes, brings them to the maximum and keeps us in a world of political incorrectness, showing us hard environment were life is worth nothing: Wild West from cinema and literature enters Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, turns into a videogame and is still recognizable in all its elements, making the most of the spectacle of the medium.

    Xeno Crisis is a great example of how to make a classic shoot ‘em up. If you like the genre make sure you check it out, particularly if you want to make the most of it with its 2-player mode.

    The Bunker is a nice change for the series, while also, in a way, returns to its origins. It can be very frustrating, but it’s definitely an Amnesia game that, we think, fans of the original will enjoy.

    Kirby returns with a new adventure that, even being one of the easiest Kirby to date, it's one of the most enjoyable games starring this charming pink ball.

    This is a great shoot 'em up, and you can tell the developers have pushed really hard to make something unique but traditional.

    Birds and Bombs has a very simple concept, which is its strongest value.

    This remaster enhances the visuals, refines gameplay mechanics, and includes nearly all previously released DLC, making it the most complete version of the game. While the story and combat remain unchanged, the improved graphics, quality-of-life updates, and additional content make it a worthwhile experience for both newcomers and longtime fans.

    There are certain problems that prevent it from becoming something unique, but in any case there's a great experience for those looking for something different.

    Wargaming knows how to make great multiplayer strategy games, and World of Warships is just another example. It you enjoyed World of Tanks or are interested in the concept, it's a great experience that deserves a try.

    The rebirth of the NBA Jam series has found his ideal channel of distribution, with a new version which returns to the classic style of the original arcade. It has many changes in comparison with the game of last year, and it drops some of its features, but adds others which compensates for. A very interesting option with a good price.

    Shadow Tactics brings back the strategy-tactical action, and it does it in an excellent way. It's challenging and satisfying, and if you like its concept, you shouldn't miss it.

    Patapon is a great series, the second entry is probably the most enjoyable, and having it back is always good. That said, this remasters doesn’t add much to the experience, but the game still is a blast.

    A great retro-style shooter and platformer with authentic presentation and design, featuring well-implemented ideas and accessibility options for everyone, though occasional imprecise controls may lead to moments of frustration. Highly enjoyable and recommended overall.

    Miles Morales is a fun action adventure that bridges the previous entry and its sequel. It keeps all the good things about it, but it doesn’t offer anything new.

    If you’re looking for a family-friendly multiplayer shooter on the Switch, make sure to check this one out. It doesn’t shine on the technical side as much as on the other platforms, but it still plays great.

    It's short, but it's also intense and a lot of fun. If you're looking for an original 2D arcade shooter, ckech this one out.

    It's charming, well planned and its atmosphere and gameplay won't let you go until you finish it up. Once you are done with it, you won't complain about its short length –you will be happy because you've enjoyed such a experience. It is not very original, but if you're a puzzle-based adventure games fan, it's a must-have.

    One of the best strategy games ever made is back with additions that, even if small, give us a reason to rediscover it.

    The lack of many RPG features might be somehow confusing, but it's fun and addictive. On the top of that, it makes us think, so we really recommend it for those looking for something different to play on the 3DS.

    V Rising blends survival, exploration, and action RPG elements in a vampire-themed world where gameplay mechanics shine despite a narrative that feels secondary. It excels in its engaging combat system and deep crafting mechanics, while offering both solo and cooperative gameplay options, although it lacks narrative depth and has limited decorative choices.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It needs time, but if you pour a few hours into it you'll find a very interesting and compelling strategy game.
