Dredge itself is a great game that will give you at least ten hours of delicious H.P. Lovecraft gives horror. The life of a sailor and the dangers at sea in your small fishing boat fit perfectly with a horror theme. The gameplay is simple, so you can take your time. The atmosphere, the story and the presentation are rock solid. You really can't go wrong here. The expansion will merge invisibly with the rest of the game for new players. This will not be the case for players who have already completed the game. The best experience will be when you restart the game and Dredge is definitely worth going through in full again.

Despite the negatives and criticisms of the game, this is still one of the best RPGs you can currently play on the Nintendo Switch. The game looks beautiful, tells eight interesting stories with eight different heroes and play styles and is accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack. The world now rewards the player much more for exploring and the grinding has been made a little less painful in this title.

Mondealy is six hours long if you don't push through the dialogues too quickly and that's a lot of value for a game that only costs a tenner. The story, the characters and the gameplay are all very cool and the finish is of an unprecedented high level.

Many players will complete this game in one session, because the game works like a charm. Unfortunately, it is on the short side for a game costing around two tens of euros. Despite the price, Toy Trains is a VR title that I would recommend to every VR player and I hope the makers come up with even more levels.

Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition is not the game for players who have already played the game on another platform or would like to pick up the game for the PS5, Xbox or PC. The Ultimate Edition is available for the other platforms and is the ultimate version for four people. But the Switch version is a great game if you've never played the series before, you like to play the game on the go, or the Switch is the only console you own. This is one of the most impressive ports for the Nintendo Switch and many people thought that the third part would skip the Switch. We are happy that the game does not skip the platform, because Borderlands 3 is still a very cool game on the Switch.

The quality, love and finish radiates from the Endless Dungeon game. The makers have tried to get the most out of it in every area. Combining three different genres can be risky, but it manages to find a nice balance here. Graphically, this game looks very cool and every hero is a blast. Building turrets is sometimes disappointing because you cannot collect enough resources due to the randomly generated levels. But if you manage to collect enough raw materials, all the puzzle pieces will fit together perfectly. Highly recommended!

Do My Best knows how to create a great game with The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales with a lot of original ideas and combinations of elements. The world and story is super interesting. You read all the dialogues here and you want to skip as little as possible here. The puzzles and gameplay is not super complicated, but this keeps the pace of the story nice. Each of the six books is about an hour of fun and this takes a little longer if you really try to check everything. A great game, especially when you consider that the studio is only two strong. Highly recommended and I'm really looking forward to the next game from this studio.

Project Blue is really a game aimed at fans of the genre and enthusiasts of NES platformers. You don't get any help and the game can be frustratingly challenging. Visually, this is a game that really looks like a retro title. The makers do not push the hardware to its limits and do not do anything innovative that makes the game immediately visually striking. This is a positive point, because it conveys the Mega Man vibe very well. The first few minutes or images say it all, it's a NES platformer that does everything perfectly as they would have done in the eighties. It is a game that you can also purchase as a NES cartridge and this is the ultimate way to experience this game. The Nintendo Switch version is a nice alternative for players who cannot easily get the NES console from the attic.

Hidden Through Time 2 is the perfect relaxation game. There are no time limits, scores, penalties or major mistakes you can make. You can also play the game nicely together, an extra pair of eyes certainly helps and makes the game even more fun. It looks very colorful and with editor and hopefully an active community you can expect many more levels. The only frustration here is when you can't find the item. I must have spent tens of minutes looking for a spoon before finally finding it in a very logical place. The feeling of victory was great after finally finding that spoon and that is why these types of books and games have been popular for years.

My Little Universe is a game that you can put a lot of hours into. After dozens of hours, I'm not even halfway through. It's a game where you don't have to do or think much. You are constantly collecting materials and the makers have managed to make collecting and returning these materials a very enjoyable experience. It's not a game about fighting or building a settlement. You unlock a new hexagonal box every time. If you are looking for a game where you can spend some (or a lot) of time on the go without any difficulties, then My Little Universe is highly recommended.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a difficult game to judge. The world of Pandora is ideal for an open world game and the conflict between the Na'vi and the RDA ensures that there is plenty to do for the player. The game looks great and the soundtrack from the film is also present here. The moments where all elements click together perfectly give the player an extremely rich gaming experience. Unfortunately, the game contains a lot of different elements that you as a player have to discover with a lot of frustration. The first ten hours are therefore more complicated than necessary. Even the menu to view your current collection of materials looks complicated. But the moment you have seen the many elements and know where everything is, you start to understand the game better. That's when you really start to enjoy this game. It is such a shame that you first have to work hard in this game.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition is a complete package and a particularly good introduction to the soulslike genre. Unfortunately, the game feels a bit outdated here and there with the individual levels. Fortunately, the game plays well, the bosses look very cool and the game gives the player a lot of extra options to defeat the challenging bosses. You will encounter few surprises here, especially in the level design, and with the expansions you will have to put in quite a few hours to complete the game. Team Ninja will release Rise of the Ronin at the beginning of this year and this is a nice game in the same style to pick up in the meantime.

It's a huge technical achievement and graphically this is one of the better NES titles. The gameplay is solid, deep and very extensive. It's a game that you keep playing and that can certainly not be said about every NES title these days. For the NES owner, this is certainly an interesting game to actually get on cartridge.

Although Wartales isn't perfect, the many small details that are slowly presented to the player make for a very enjoyable experience. You can play the game in many different ways and the game promotes a lot of experimentation. The game is simple in presentation, but it manages to add enough charm. In particular, the fact that each location looks different ensures that you will not get bored quickly. The new regions and the gameplay change little to the core of the game and the challenge lies mainly in exploring, balancing and expanding your group of mercenaries. Do I have enough food? Do I have enough food to feed everyone? Do I have enough resources and medicines to survive a surprise attack? This is a game where your loyal mercenaries and the journey are what matter most, not the final destination.

Boti: Byteland Overclocked is a colorful 3D platformer that looks back to the platformers of the past. The levels are colorful, you jump and puzzle a lot and you can collect many objects. The robot Boti controls nicely and you can discover the levels with a beautiful soundtrack in the background. It is therefore a shame that the game fails, especially on a technical level. Your GPU is working overtime and various elements in the game just lack the finishing touch that jumping and fighting have. If these elements had been in order, we would really have had a highly recommended one here. In its current state, the game unfortunately remains average.

Tales of Kenzera gives the player access to a beautiful world with a colorful presentation inspired by African culture. The levels, battles and upgrades are well developed, but it all feels a bit minimal. For a player who plays few action platformers or metroidvania titles, this is a game that you can pick up without any prior knowledge. It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the controls feel less fluid at a certain point and I hope that this will be resolved in an update. The focus is on Zau's journey and the loss of an important person in your life. Unfortunately, the weight of this message is not reflected in the gameplay and that is a great loss.

Park Beyond is a good first attempt from the makers of Tropico. The base is very entertaining and you can find quite a lot of entertainment here. The eight missions give the player a nice full introduction to all elements and the game is certainly not easy. The game uses Unreal 4 and you can certainly see this. But the interface holds the game back considerably when it comes to building roller coasters, roads or complete buildings.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble is therefore a section that neatly ticks off all the options you would expect from a new Puzzle Bobble game. But the new additions make the game feel a lot harder and more rushed than before. The game contains tons of levels, but offers little extra around it to give you a nice goal to go through it all. With only two modes, you have little to choose from. It remains Puzzle Bobble and the formula is still entertaining after all these years, but it manages to surprise or innovate little.

The Haunted House remake is a true successor to the 1982 original. This roguelite replaces large battles with sneaking and puzzling and this works wonderfully well. The rooms are randomly generated each time, making each attempt different and surprising. The game starts very challenging, but as you earn more upgrades you will get through the game a little easier. The art style is nice and technically the game is well put together.

Forspoken divides players. Some are disappointed others see the big plus. The game takes a lot of time to get going, but you can almost finish this game under 15 hours. But you can easily put in four times as many as you want. I see this as a plus. The player decides how much time he wants to put into it. You haven't combed every corner and taken on every side mission, but you've had a great journey. The game shows at various times what a PS5 title should look like. The highlights feel very cool and the game manages to successfully combine many elements.
