    Faeria
    Faeria is the perfect combination of Catan and Heartstone. There is enough content to keep you entertained for hours, although the sheer amount of cards can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning.

    Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
    In terms of story and mythology this game is not that exciting. On the other hand, it feels great to overpower big trolls and fat bosses. Vikings Wolves of Midgard is a great game for everyone who wants something other than Diablo.

    Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls
    Yo-Kai Watch 2 is a charming, but passive and repetitive experience. The game lacks an enjoying fight system and the writing is horrible.

    Persona 5
    Persona 5 could be the best JPRG you have ever played. An intriguing journey featuring themes like friendship, morality and justice. Satisfying turn-based combat and the creation of Personas make this game more than just a beautiful interactive novel.

    A Pixel Story
    A Pixel Story is a fun platform puzzle game which takes you on a journey through the pixelated era. It is full of homages to older games and movies and offers a healthy dose of humor and challenges, though the game gets a little repetitive after a while.

    Dark Souls III: The Ringed City
    Replace "City" with "Village" and you got a much better name for this last Dark Souls DLC. Where enemies, bosses and items live up to the expectations, most areas seem to fail in delivering the same message.

    Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
    Bringing this game as a stand alone to the Switch was a brilliant idea. It feels like a whole new game because of the way Specter of Torment plays, but offers the same great style and gameplay Shovel Knight did.

    2Dark
    The story of 2Dark gives you the creeps. This is not your typical horror game, but it is more spooky than some of those. Unfortunately, the game is frustrating from time to time.

    Danganronpa 1-2 Reload
    These two games are brilliant. Teddy bears aren't always cute. Sometimes they are very very very sadistic. So, try to survive in this visual novel.

    Kona
    Kona is an inspiring game that pulls the player into the story. Unfortunately, Kona cannot maintain the same pace that it has at the beginning of the game. But besides that, Kona is still a nice game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    LEGO Worlds
    LEGO Worlds sounds like a dream, but truthfully it is not a good game. Minecraft is simply better. As are other LEGO games. You can build a lot, but it is all too repetitive.

    ACA NeoGeo: Shock Troopers
    Shock Troopers is a fun, action packed game which feels just right on the Switch. The game has a few downsides like the controls, but overall it is good fun. Especially when you play with a friend!

    Fast RMX
    Fast RMX is a great looking, fast paced racer. It offers a lot more tracks than Fast Racing NEO and gives you a real challenge. Still it misses some features like a practice mode. But it is a very good start for racers on the Switch!

    ACA NeoGeo: Metal Slug 3
    Metal Slug 3 brings the arcade fun to the Switch. The arcade feeling is a little less though because of the infinite credits and the adjustable difficulty. But still, it stays entertaining to blast away with a friend.

    Styx: Shards of Darkness
    The Goblinthief Styx steals the show again in Styx Shards of Darkness. While the game gets difficult, it keeps you entertained till the end. Styx introduces you to a fantasy world full of mysteries to solve.

    Super Bomberman R
    Super Bomberman R is not that super. The multiplayer is amazing and fun, but the singleplayer is boring and the position of the camera will annoy you a lot.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda
    Mass Effect: Andromeda is simply an amazing game. It renews the franchise yet manages to feel really familiar for fans. Unfortunately, the game suffers from some technical problems, but they hardly impact the gameplay.

    Tom Clancy's The Division - The Last Stand
    The Last Stand DLC finally brings a proper PvP-mode to the table, although thanks to the game's tactical background, skilled players often demolish the other team. Also, the complete package feels a bit meager, with only a new Incursion as an extra.

    Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey
    The latest addition to the Atelier series is a pleasant return for long term fans. The game has a good fighting system, but for newcomers the game might be quite difficult. Additionally, the time limit will not please everyone.

    Typoman: Revised
    Typoman: Revised is a game with an amazingly creative concept. There is a lot of potential here, but unfortunately Typoman does not fully live up to it.

    I Am Setsuna
    If you are looking to play I Am Setsuna, the Switch is the best platform to purchase the game on. I Am Setsuna is a perfect fit for the handheld mode of the console. It may not be the best JRPG out there, but it is a guarantee for hours of fun.

    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 2: Ties That Bind Part Two
    Episode 2 continues developing the characters. With a strong story and the return of the beloved television and comic character Jesus, A New Frontier is getting better and better. The finale is epic but we still do not know what happened to AJ.

    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 1: Ties That Bind Part One
    Ties That Bind Part 1 leaves you behind with a lot of questions. What happened with baby AJ? But those questions let you crave for more. After playing this episode you definitely want to play Ties That Bind Part 2 as soon as possible.

    Just Dance 2017
    Just Dance came to the Switch but did not improve on many things. Still, there is a new mode and an exclusive song in this version. A portable mode is possible thanks to the Switch's capabilities that make the game great for outdoors or parties elsewhere.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
    If Ghost Recon Wildlands is the way to go for the franchise, we'll be looking forward to the next sequel already. It is an amazing open game with a tremendous amount of details and missions. However, it can be a bit dull to explore on your own.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
    Even on Wii U The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a must-buy. This is a piece of art that does not lose any of its charm compared to the Switch version. Everyone should play this game.

    BOOR
    BOOR is a good indie game, still it is not more than simply enjoyable. The levels have some insufficient diversity, and the game is in need of some finishing touches.

    Snipperclips - Cut it out, together!
    If you own a Switch and you like puzzle or partygames, you need to own this title. It offers a unique stress-free puzzle experience and at the same time it lets you play with or against friends. For the price of 20 euros this is a must-buy.

    Mario Sports Superstars
    For a seemingly simple game there is a lot to discover in Mario Sports Superstars. Everyone can instantly play this game, but there is enough content to keep coming back to it. The horse racing is also a fun new addition to the Mario sports series.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    NieR: Automata
    The original Nier missed that finishing touch in the gameplay department. With Platinum Games on board for the sequel Nier Automata became an absolute masterpiece. The combat, world, music, and story fit so well together that it would be a crime to sit this one out.
