    Journey to the Savage Planet is a great adventure game, particularly in coop. It’s like a light-hearted, more colorful and open Metroid Prime, so if you’re looking for something like that, it’s definitely worth your time and money.

    Comandos is back with a solid remaster that allows us to enjoy this fantastic classic. There are some questionable choices, but the experience remains almost intact.

    Stranger’s Wrath is back with a decent remaster that works well on Switch. Some aspects of the game haven’t aged very well, but the adventure is still quite enjoyable and unique.

    If you like mecha games, give this one a try. It has some flaws, but overall it’s one of the best 2D mecha games we’ve played this generation.

    There are better games with a similar approach and scope, but if you have already played them and you enjoy them, Red Bow can be a good choice.

    Weakless is a slow-paced puzzle adventure that will be particularly engaging for those players who want to take a break and relax while gaming. It’s beautiful and intriguing, and it’s a great choice to sit back and relax with your controller.

    Kakarot is one of the games based on this manga we’ve enjoyed the most. It’s a fantastic adventure, and even if it’s not perfect, it’s made by fans for fans. If you are one of those kids who sit in front of the TV waiting for the next episode to air, you’ll enjoy every second of it.

    One of the best JPRG we’ve played in years is back with a good Switch version, even if there aren’t many new features. Still, the quality remains intact, and fans of the genre get a new chance to discover it.

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

    It’s a little bit expensive, but it’s one of the best shoot ‘em up we’ve played in many years. It’s aimed at a very specific audience, but we think that audience will definitely enjoy it.

    AO Tennis 2 takes a step in the right direction, but it still lacks depth in some of the core foundations of a tennis game. It improves and expands pretty much everything from its predecessor, so we’re looking forward to see where the next title takes it.

    Planet Zoo is a complex management simulator, with tons and tons of options, which is why sometimes we miss more tutorials. However, it’s also very rewarding and deep, and this makes it ideal for more experienced players.

    Wattam is a unique game that feels targeted to a younger audience. It’s fun with friends, but sometimes we wished it had a more "video-game-y" feeling to it.

    AVICII: Invector doesn’t do anything revolutionary, but everything it does, it does it quite well. A few more songs and online multiplayer would’ve been fantastic.

    If you like dark stories with a touch of psychological horror, make sure you give this a try. It also has a fair amount of endings, so you you can rediscover it several times.

    EarthNight is an interesting option for those looking for an infinite runner. It’s fun and spectacular, although it lacks some content and ambition.

    This is the definitive Magic experience on PC. It’s free-to-play, but it’s incredibly well balanced and lets us enjoy it without hassle. If you enjoy card-based games, give it a try.

    Detroit lands on PC with a solid adaptation. The core experience remains unchanged, but it brings us new options to enjoy it.

    SuperEpic is a good game that shines because of its tongue-in-cheek narrative. Gameplay-wise, it has some solid aspects and some flaws, but overall it’s a title we’ve had fun with.

    This adventure holds up incredibly well, considering it's a PSP game. It’s still quite enjoyable nowadays if you’re looking for an old-school RPG, even if there isn’t a lot of effort behind this version.

    Phoenix Point is a game fans of the genre should not miss. Sure, it has some flaws, but it’s a very solid first entry for a new IP, and we hope it continues to grow –the foundation is so good it could easily be one of the best strategy franchises.

    Monkey Barrels is a solid game if you look for a fun, cartoony approach to shooters. There are some things that would be improved or polished but, overall, it’s an enjoyable experience.

    Neverwinter Nights is a game that holds up really well, but this port is weaker than it should. It feels like a low-effort adaptation, with way too many technical problems that shouldn’t be present almost 20 years after the original release.
    • 75 Metascore

    Although the idea is good and there is a lot of content and options, the core of a fighting game isn’t here. The combat is very simple and chaotic, the roster isn’t balanced and the AI is extremely poor. Without online functionality, we can only recommend it to play with friends.

    Alien: Isolation still is a fantastic horror game, and this version is just as good as it can get. It’s probably the best adaptation to Switch so far, and as good as any other to discover this adventure.

    Life is Strange 2 is able to tell one of those stories that are hard to forget. It feels like a step back from the original, but if you get emotionally involved with the characters, it will stay with you.

    As a part of the Master Chief Collection, one of the best shooters ever made is back in great shape. Even if there are some aspects that can still be polished, the experience remains intact –and it’s great.

    Even if its limitations are obvious considering its handheld origin, core systems like the combat and other aspects like the soundtrack are fantastic. If you can forgive these minor problems, you’ll find a great RPG.

    Shovel Knight is one of the best indie games of the decade, and this is its best expansion. If you wanted more, make sure you don’t miss it.

    We need to praise the effort to make something new and, in this case, the additions to add some QoL features. Ancestors is still flawed, but it’s also a game we can’t help but recommend to those interested in new experiences.
