Streets of Rogue brings a roguelike, procedural generated experience to a game with RPG and beat'em up elements. With its insane amount of action and degree of freedom, Streets of Rogue's play mechanics and multiplayer component make this a very enjoyable and undoubtedly recommended piece of work, and not just to fans of roguelike games.

The new Just Dance 2015 brings what the audience expects: a large musical assortment, along with fun and creative choreographies. Where this game does not stand out is on its variety, as it lacks significant improvements and additions to its experience, possibly as a consequence of a release policy that produces one Just Dance title per year.

7 / 10 - Spy Chameleon
Feb 9, 2015

Spy Chameleon is an accessible puzzle game that departs from an attractive premise. While it does not stand out clearly above everything else on the market, it does have a wide array of levels and welcomes players of any level of experience.

Paper Monsters Recut is one such example of a graphically charming and long-lasting 2D platformer with 3D backgrounds and with simple and intuitive gameplay mechanics. Its difficulty level and soundtrack could use some improvements, which does not take any appeal away from this piece of gaming.

While its online component has lost some appeal and it does not offer significantly more content than its predecessor, the offline challenges and the musical catalogue have improved and in the end, it's a very entertaining and fun piece of gaming for groups.

Mega Man Legacy Collection is an invitation to explore the first six Mega Man games and it succeeds at striking a chord both with longtime Mega Man fans and with those less familiar with the series. As good as this compilation is, it could only be improved by fixing frame rate drops in certain busy areas and with more content, especially more games of the Mega Man series which could have easily been included in this title.

Its emotional experience is worthy of praise, as it is its heavy, gritty environment. The plot is rather short-lived, which makes the journey less involving than it could be, but overall the experience of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is worth exploring by all those who are interested in a more emotional component of gaming.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes follows the footsteps of Four Swords Adventures and brings forth a very well designed multiplayer experience, whether local or online, and a significant degree of challenge, even for experienced players. While it seems odd that a Zelda title dispenses with the eponymous princess and with Link, Tri Force Heroes does its job in an irrepressible manner.

Bravely Second: End Layer does not live up to its predecessor's standards but this does not make it any less of a good RPG. Its visual environment is superb, it's loaded with content and its lifespan will keep everyone around it for a long time. It also improves on its predecessor's class system, while it falls out with the soundtrack and narrative.

Just Dance 2017 keeps the tradition of being the best game in the dancing style. Featuring a new musical selection and the same upbeat gameplay as before, Just Dance proves that it deserves the recognition of being the best party game out there. For the next chapter, a renewal featuring brand new gaming modes would be very welcome, as keeping the same formula could start to become repetitive in the long term.

Blaster Master Zero brings back the spirit of the original while updating some of its characteristics to the contemporary age of gaming. An enjoyable and well done 2D action experience, which only feels a bit short on the challenge and difficulty thresholds but which is certain to find a place among players looking for a retro experience in the form of a tribute to an established classic.

7 / 10 - Hey! Pikmin
Jul 26, 2017

Hey! PIKMIN adapts Nintendo's series to the 3DS in a successful and fun way. While the series' veterans might find it odd at first, the game will quickly put everyone at ease with its captivating sidescrolling adventures and involving gameplay. It may not be as deep as the main series but this is a solid experience that honours the Pikmin game on a handheld format.

GUNBARICH is a modern take on the breakout-style of gameplay that became popular in the arcades of the 1980s. In true arcade fashion, this game is overloaded with frantic action, non-stop movement and its difficulty level is spot on. Were it not for a certain repetitiveness that is quick to materialize and GUNBARICH would be close to being one of the sharpest arcade game revivals out there.

Just Dance 2018 features a varied list of songs and its gameplay mechanics are still competent and fun to entertain groups at parties. The lack of new game modes, however, demonstrates that the series urgently needs innovation.

7 / 10 - Super Chariot
Jun 11, 2018

The game features an interesting mechanic that will undoubtedly keep players around their Switch for some time, especially as Super Chariot's lifespan is one of its main assets. Its multiplayer only adds more to the mix and contributes to make this a successful attempt at a good 2D platformer that does not feature any famous Nintendo characters.

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido does not sound like the most conventional of titles but this is not the most conventional of games. Thanks to a combination of a completely unreal and wacky plot, a charming visual environment and a wide amount of content, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido amounts to a fun and addictive game, which nevertheless overburdens the player with its never ending plot and disappoints with the dearth of online players to face.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 closes the effort to bring together all the games of the Mega Man X series in a compilation that adds new game modes and extras that are bound to appeal to the fans. Nevertheless, the four remaining games of the X series are also overall less attractive and that has not changed with the years.

My Memory of Us brings the players into a different experience, with its sombre environments and unusual story-telling. Thanks to its accessible gameplay it never gets too difficult to advance, which might be disappointing for players looking for something more complex but the game's original premise and concept make this a title that stands out amidst other indie games in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

7 / 10 - Mana Spark
Apr 1, 2019

A game that can be as satisfying as it is difficult, Mana Spark will find a place immediately with enthusiasts of tough, demanding challenges, while finding itself a bit too much for less experienced players, but that should not be an obstacle as this is one fine specimen of an indie game that punches above its weight.

7 / 10 - Forager
Sep 6, 2019

Forager is a fun 2D open-world simulation game that puts the player on an expansionist endeavour from a small patch of land to an empire...and it does a good job at that. Forager gives a very good feeling of growth and progression to the player while it keeps its mechanics and learning process quick and simple. Pity the game seems to lose some of its performance capacity as the player's empire expands.
