Quotation forthcoming.

With my last game review of 2023, I'm getting to review a solid 2D action game, with great foundations that is hindered by its rogue-lite mechanics (but not by much). Great work by Angry Mob Games.

What was a candidate for game of the year for me, became just another run of the mill horror game. Amazing graphics, sound design and fun combat system can't mask what is inherently a predictable and to be honest, not-so-scary horror game.

Atlas Fallen might not be the best open world game of all time, but it's a fun experience and does a lot right, both mechanically and artistically-wise.

It's not as good as the big hitters of the Switch, but even this mediocre game has a lot to offer in terms of fun and great moments. Wait for a sale and then buy the game and go have fun with your best friends and family members.

This is the best way to play the original Gears of War, hands down, yet simple upgrades to the AI and sound design could have gone a long way to make this a great remaster.

Infinity Nikki is a very beautiful game, even though it features a fairly predatory monetization scheme, it is too early to tell if it will become popular like other gacha games, and it fails to realize what crowd it wishes to sell itself to, action adventure games or dress up games?

Sonic X Shadow Generations experience can be summarized as follows: If you've never played Sonic Generations, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to try it out, as it was and remains great even after the remastered version. As for Shadow Generations, while it's a definitely cute game that manages to renew and restore Shadow to its greatness, if you don't need the content provided with Sonic Generations, you won't necessarily find the investment in this game to be good and satisfying - and I'm sure Sega understood this when it decided to include it in another great and beloved game of the brand.

If you're not willing to put some hours just learning the ropes, this is a Marathon that you'll need to run in the opposite direction. If you do - welcome - you're in for a wild ride.

Is it a good Sonic collection? Yes, very much - and the addition of the Game Gear games is just the icing on the cake. But still, the tactics that Sega employed with this game collection, plus the fact that it is still missing some fixes bugs me a lot.

Tokyo RPG Factory's third attempt at the RPG genre was their closest one yet to being a very good game - it just falls a bit short on some places.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a good, but not great. The combat is fun, the music is phenomenal and the huge and lush world of Alrest is a joy to venture through. But with all that said, the game is plagued by a messy UI system, almost nonexistent map, weird blade acquiring system, terrible and sometimes mediocre plot. It really looks like the game tried its best not be Xenoblade Chronicles X, and was less concerned with building on it’s predecessor.

Houston, we have a problem - i can't stop playing Starfield, despite its flaws. If you're looking for a Sci-Fi space RPG, this is the game for you to sink hundreds of hours on, even though its main plot is not interesting, its side content is more than enough, with engaging combat, addicting ship building system and more.

It's a game that panders greatly towards nostalgia, but to be perfectly honest - it kinda works. The game manages to be fun, simple and engaging, even though it has some faults that prevent it from being a great game.

South of Midnight is an amazing experience - wrapped in a fairly basic and reasonable game. With an equally amazing art line that creates an immersive experience, which gets stuck here and there on the rocks along the way. The game's boring gameplay first and foremost does not respect the rest of its elements, and prevents it from being a smooth ride - even if it does not completely prevent the overall experience from being unforgettable.

With the good outweighing the bad, Berserk Boy is another good game for an indie industry that isn't afraid to try put out fun and small games. It does need ironing out in some places but all in all, this is a great game.

It's the stealth experience that you expect from a Sniper Elite game. While not revolutionary in any way, and even does some things pretty badly, Sniper Elite: Resistance still manages to provide a decent experience that won't stick with you for long.

The latest installment in the series suffers from several issues, most of which come from a sense of blandness and flat characters that fail to engage. At times, it feels as if the game is trying too hard to avoid offending anyone while still aiming to be universally liked, which makes it feel cautious rather than bold. Is this the game I was hoping for? Not really. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. In a single sentence: It’s a good RPG, but it’s not a good Dragon Age game.

We can change the name, but the "FIFA" heart is still there, and in full force. Ultimate team got most of the love (obviously), but although it doesn't feel like a new game, it is still the best football game you can buy right now.

While the game boasts some improvements over last year's iteration of the game, it still feels like same game overall. If FIFA 20 on Switch won't shake up things drastically, this would be the last FIFA game you'll need on the Switch.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is a good game with lots of great things going for him, but it can fell too shallow at times, both in the Adventure mode and the the single and multiplayer modes.

Atomic Heart is full of stuff that will absolutely make you love it immediately, but each one of those things comes with a major flaw that ultimately pulls it back from being a great game. It's far from perfect, but will still give you hours of awesome story, world, gameplay and music.

While Mind Control Delete is a good expansion with a few clever ideas, it does fall short in some ways, mainly it's rougelike parts.

Eternal Strands makes great promises as a semi-open world game with countless possibilities to win every challenge, centered on the huge and diverse bosses that roam the map. In some moments that are no less than amazing, it fulfills these promises and becomes a simply tremendous experience - but most of its playing hours are focused on being a basic RPG only, which is a shame that it does not use its full potential more.

Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood is ultimately a very cute game, even if there are some annoying dialogues along the way and unexciting rewards for exploration. It's not exactly a new standard compared to its predecessors in the series, but it still manages to provide an excellent and fun combat system that makes it a not-so-bad experience.

Far Cry 5 is a mixed bag. On the one hand, you get a dark story about an extremist group taking over a town. On the other hand, you get a bear named Cheeseburger who smiles while mauling his enemies. The music is fantastic, the AI is terrible, and the co-op is a lot of fun, as long as you don't expect it to be the next Borderlands. There's a lot of fun to be had in Far Cry 5, but if Ubisoft only took the time to fix those minor problems, it could have been perfect.

The equation is fairly simple: If you're a first time player, the Switch version will be just fine: It looks nice, it plays nice, and still packs a ton of fun. For seasoned players on other consoles and especially PC - that's a very hard sell with the drop in performance.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is short, fun and full of charm. Is it one of the best games on the Switch? Not in the slightest, but it's a nice game for children, getting into gaming for the first time.
