    It's one of those games VR needs. It's not an unforgettable experience and it doesn't take you to wonderful worlds, but it's a good arcade to have a great time with.

    Slow Bros.' game combines charming claymation and meticulous craftsmanship with a bold, yet potentially divisive gameplay approach that reflects its protagonist's mundane life and emphasizes narrative over action. Despite losing its focus and reducing interactivity over time, its captivating characters and thought-provoking themes create an unforgettable audiovisual experience for some, while others may find it tedious.

    Super Crush K.O. is some soft of combo ‘em up, a very interesting concept that works quite well. It needs a wider variety of enemies and situations, but it’s one of those titles you want to consider if you want to try a unique action game.

    Nightmare Boy offers a good tribute to old-school games, with lots of action and a metroidvania design. It's not a big budget game, but you'll have fun with it.

    Guerrilla has aged quite well overall, although some aspects are definitely a little bit outdated. It isn’t a must have, but it does have some impressive moments and there’s a lot of fun to be had.

    It's certainly not the JRPG of the year on Nintendo Switch or PC, but it has charm, a strong art direction, and its gameplay loop is well suited to short games, something many RPGs will surely appreciate.

    It's just more Picross, but that doesn't mean it's something bad. Quite the opposite.

    This collection serves as a competent preservation tool, offering impeccable technical customization and quality-of-life additions. While these DS titles represent a period of diminishing returns for the franchise, the polished interface and robust online features make it an essential acquisition for diehard fans despite the lack of local translation.

    Penumbra: Requiem has an approximate durability of about five hours and is a fun puzzle game, with some really clever and absorbing puzzles.

    This is a fighting game with some solid ideas, very enjoyable no matter if you’re new to the genre or a veteran. It has its ups and downs, and we’re not sure about how strong its community will be, but it’s worth a try if you want something different from the main franchises.

    Surprisingly fun, this Army of Two is likely to go unnoticed because of all the games launched these weeks. However, it delivers what it promises: loads of fun.

    It is a pity Sega hasn't added any new feature, like extras or additional modes to encourage the player.

    This is a fun, little adventure that combines Metroidvania and Pokémon in a way we weren’t expecting. If that concept sounds good to you, give it a try.

    It’s great to have Pac-Man back, even if it doesn’t bring any new to the table. Of course, it depends how many games you already own or care about.

    Lost in the Dark is very much a sequel, for better of worse, and delivers exactly what you would expect from Yomawari.

    Fun, with good ideas and ambition, but not as good as other similar titles. At least, it’s a breath of fresh air in the indie scene.

    Necrovision is overall a good game, with some fun moments and original features, something to praise nowadays... but it does not reach to be a great game. Thus, combining the little awareness of the game in comparison with the latest larger productions, will probably make Necrovision go mostly unnoticed.

    A positive step forward in the series, which adds freedom and polish the gameplay mechanics. Recommended for those who enjoyed the series before, and still deserves a try if you like the concept.

    Even though there are just a few differences between these versions and the original ones, it still feels fun a fresh, and it's a great experience for those looking for something different.

    Newer entries are probably better games, but these are solid JRPGs, and this is a great opportunity for newcomers to discover the franchise.

    Resident Evil 5 takes the RE4 core and adds a fully cooperative campaign and more action… and it works. The Switch version could have been more polished, although these technical hiccups won’t stop you from enjoying the game.

    This is a poor adaptation of a good ARPG. There are many technical issues that affect both the graphics and the gameplay, so it’s up to the player if you’re willing to accept these sacrifices.

    Millennia delivers a classic 4X strategy experience reminiscent of Civilization, featuring engaging gameplay and innovative ideas such as alternative Eras and city management improvements. However, it falls short due to its cumbersome interface and unbalanced difficulty, which hinder its potential for greatness. Despite its flaws, Millennia offers addictive gameplay and promises future improvements through patches or sequels.

    High on Life 2 delivers a more refined, witty humor and exhilarating skateboard mechanics, forging a uniquely entertaining experience. However, its combat remains simplistic and uninspired, with persistent performance issues, including frustrating bugs and framerate drops, unfortunately marring an otherwise imaginative artistic vision.

    As previous episodes, a simple and accesible adventure, a bit more complex than the previous ones, with joyful humor and a fun story. Although we think it could be even better.

    The Legend of Legacy is one of those games you either love or hate. It has as many virtues as weaknesses, but it takes many risks to offer something different, and we think the experience is good enough to make its strengths prevail.

    Clearly inspired by Limbo, Monochroma is an experience fans of the former will enjoy. There are some aspects that should have been polished, but it does deserve a try.
    • 74 Metascore

    This is an enjoyable adventure that doesn’t do anything particularly remarkable, but will entertain those who like action, RPG and platforming and want to know more about its universe.

    We think Milestone should have put more effort into this game, since there are little additions compared to the previous edition. The foundations are great, and the game is pretty good indeed, but there's still a long way to go.

    Old School Rally delivers an authentic, arcade-style retro rally experience, perfectly emulating 90s classics with direct controls and distinct vehicle handling across ample content. However, its progression feels uninspired, and menu presentation, translation, and musical score exhibit a notable lack of polish, detracting from an otherwise nostalgic journey.
