    For Honor
    For Honor is a great game, held back only by some minor flaws and technical difficulties that Ubisoft can and should tend to. The story mode isn't the best I've played and the matchmaking could use some tweaking, but even with its problems you can't take away the fact that this game has one of the deepest and rewarding fighting mechanics we've seen in a while. For Honor demands you study the ins and outs of the game and excel in it, and those who do will get an experience without an equal in gaming right now.

    Dishonored 2
    Dishonored 2 is a great game for those who never played the first game and for returning gamers who enjoyed Dishonored. Its challenging gameplay, collectibles and the ability to experience the game’s story from two different points of view are more than enough to keep you interested.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
    This is hands down, the best Musou game for the Switch, and a great action title. The music is fantastic, the action is crisp and fast paced, the theme of a great war is preserved throughout the game and the story has an interesting take on the famous war of Breath of the Wild. If it wasn't for the Switch being a weaker platform, hampering it's looks and performance, this may have been a game of the year contender.

    The First Berserker: Khazan
    The First Berserker: Khazan is a great game for fans of the Souls-like genre, especially those who enjoyed the Nioh series. The combat is fun and challenging, the progression systems are deep and satisfying, and the art design is impressive. But I honestly don't think it's for anyone who isn't a Souls fan.

    ARC Raiders
    Fans of the Extraction Shooter genre, rejoice - there's a new king in the neighborhood, and his name is ARC Raiders, and it earns this title thanks to an addictive gameplay loop, quality sound design, along with impressive graphics and excellent performance.

    SIFU
    Sifu is a wild game: On the one hand you have a game with a good, yet flawed story and subpar soundtrack and on the other hand you have a punch to the face which is the amazing gameplay of Sifu, knocking some sense into you and reminding the player that gameplay is, and always will be, king.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
    Crash 4 has all the elements of a good Crash Bandicoot game: From silly but loveable characters to challenging yet fun gameplay, it excels at giving the player tons to do and tons to see. Too bad that Toys for Bob cranked the difficulty to "Unfair and beyond", as some of the levels create some really frustrating moments in the game.

    Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
    NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a welcome and very flattering addition to the brand's world of content, providing us with a reminder of how 2D platform games are one of the best game styles in the industry as long as they're done right. The game, while relatively short, is full of great challenges, maddening combat, and a satisfying arsenal of abilities, all while providing us with a very cute storyline and a wealth of things to discover and collect.

    Luigi's Mansion 3
    From the moment you turn it on, the game is just oozing with joy and family fun. This game takes the best parts of Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 1 and combines them to create a wonderful experience.

    Super Meat Boy 3D
    Super Meat Boy 3D is an excellent game - it does a lot of things right when it comes to its platforming experience, and while there are times when it can feel stifled and a little less comfortable due to the transition to 3D, the vast majority of the time we have a quality platformer here.

    Battlefield 1
    EA and DICE have done an amazing job bringing something fresh to the table in picking WW1 as the game's theme. Multiplayer is probably the best thing aspect of the game, and the well-built maps and cool game modes will keep me coming back to Battlefield 1 for the coming months.

    MARVEL Cosmic Invasion
    Did you say endless fun and a celebration of superheroes? You said MARVEL Cosmic Invasion. It's one of the best games we've gotten this year thanks to addictive and fun gameplay, simply great visuals, performance and soundtrack, and great gameplay options for both single player and those of us who like to add friends to the equation.

    Street Fighter 6
    Street Fighter 6 won't dethrone Super Smash Bros Ultimate as the best fighting game on the console, but it is a very solid port that is worth it for every Street Fighter fan who's main console is the Switch 2.

    Ring Fit Adventure
    This is, by far, one of the most important games Nintendo has ever created. A game that manages to blend seamlessly between the workout and fitness world and the RPG gaming genre. It's an amazing game, and as one who finished it - it's worth every drop of sweat.

    Diablo IV
    Diablo IV is not just a great game by Blizzard. The company sorely needed that win - that one game that might drag it out of the mud, and Diablo IV with its great story, atmosphere, sound and world - may be the one to do it.

    Halo Infinite
    While the story is weird and convoluted, the gameplay of both it's single-player and multi-player modes makes Halo Infinite the best shooter of 2021. Quite frankly it might be the best shooter of the past couple of years.

    Scarlet Nexus
    Scarlet Nexus is an amazing Japanese action RPG game, at the start it could give a feeling of an average anime game, but the amazing designs, blend of action and RPG, interesting story are a great blend to one of 2021 games you don't want to miss.

    Pokemon Shield
    As a first dive into mainline Pokemon games on the Nintendo Switch, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield work fairly well. They're not the best ones by a long shot, but they are among the better ones in the series.

    Return to Monkey Island
    Return to Monkey Island is a triumph in almost every aspect, yeah sure - the backtracking dating to the quests of old is still pervasive and annoying, but the game has charm, excellent writing and fantastic voice acting that push it forward and make is a joy to play.

    Mario Party Superstars
    These might be remakes of older titles, but this is exactly what this franchise needed: A return to roots to show newer audiences what made the original ones so special. With some of the best boards and minigames, as well as great visuals and sounds, this is one of the best Mario Party games, and the best party game on Switch.

    Resident Evil Requiem
    Resident Evil Requiem is truly a fantastic game with amazing gameplay and a fun story, though it is using a lot of nostalgia to appeal to the old time fans and sometimes it feels like the series has some trouble really moving forward and I hope it manages to produce something newer the next time around.

    Neon White is one of those games you wish you knew about when they were red hot. Its a game that puts everything that he has on gameplay, and it works marvelously. If you enjoy fast paced shooting and like a good challenge, you should definitely try this game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
    Well. Nintendo literally saved this game. From a game riddled with pace halting issues and pesky tutorials, Nintendo has unearthed the gem that is Skyward Sword. We can now fully appreciate it's great level design, awesome combat and wonderful presentation and music. Also - Fi is no longer annoying. Hallelujah.

    RoadCraft
    RoadCraft has ultimately proven to be one of the standout titles of this year. It offers a unique gameplay experience centered around operating heavy machinery in post-disaster recovery missions, with unmatched freedom and attention to detail. The vast open maps, logistical puzzle elements, and over 40 different vehicles create an engaging sandbox for creative problem-solving.

    Morbid Metal
    Morbid Metal is a promising debut with a combat system that earns real respect. Screen Juice has built something genuinely worthwhile here - a fast, expressive, multi-character action game that holds its own alongside its clear inspirations, even if it hasn't matched them yet. The roguelike structure introduces limitations that blunt some of that momentum, the bugs in the current build are disruptive in a system where precision matters most, and the story hasn't yet justified its ambitions. But the foundation is strong, and Ubisoft's decision to back this small German studio looks, at least so far, like one of the smarter calls they've made in a while. The full release could be something worth getting loud about. [Early Access Score = 65]

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds
    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]
