"The MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics feels like a love letter to longtime fans, with nostalgic music, sound effects, and retro graphics reminiscent of the '90s. Thanks to the Switch, these classic games can now be played anywhere, although the screen's sidebars could have been omitted. The gameplay is fast and accessible, perfect for newcomers, while offering enough depth for experienced players to master combos and counters. However, the price tag of fifty euros may feel steep, especially for new players, considering the games appear somewhat dated and similar to each other."

"Monster Jam Showdown brings the classic chaos and destruction of Monster Trucks to the Nintendo Switch with surprisingly good performance and smooth gameplay. While the racing action can be fun and the freestyle mode delivers thrilling stunts, the game suffers from a lack of depth and variety, making it feel repetitive over time. However, for fans of Monster Jam or those looking for some simple, smash-and-crash fun, there's still enjoyment to be found here."

The First Descendant offers an engaging blend of story, gameplay, and audiovisual splendor. The detailed world of Ingris ensures there's always something new to discover. The tactical combat and strategic boss fights keep the tension high and require smart decisions. Visually and audibly, it's also spot on. The presence of 'pay2win' elements might affect the experience for some players, which is a downside. Nevertheless, the game remains appealing due to the promise of future updates and content. If you're a fan of looter-shooters like Destiny and Warframe, then The First Descendant is definitely worth trying. You really have no good reason to skip the game since it's free! But if you're not into these types of games, then The First Descendant may not be your cup of tea.

MotoGP 24 has a solid foundation, and innovations like the Riders Market and the Adaptive Difficulty system are refreshing additions. It's clear that effort has been put into innovating the gameplay, and that certainly deserves praise. However, there are some bumps on the road. The gameplay can sometimes feel repetitive, and due to graphical compromises, performance can lag, often resulting in a slower gaming experience. The limitations of the Nintendo Switch play a significant role in this, negatively affecting both the visuals and the flow of the game. Additionally, the online multiplayer feels somewhat stripped down. Despite the enthusiastic attempts at innovation, the price-to-quality ratio doesn't feel quite right. In short, MotoGP 24 is definitely making strides forward but still has some work to do to truly cross the finish line as a winner.
