3 / 10 - Totem Topple
Dec 16, 2015

Within the tower defence style, this game falls below expectations as far as contents are concerned and it even gives the impression that it was not fully completed by the time of release. Its interface is far from intuitive, its elements lack variety and it can be surprisingly difficult in many instances.

Guess the Word on the Nintendo Switch has been adapted from the mobile market and even though it presents itself as an educational game, its value as such a work is very limited. Short in content, with only one gaming mode and lacking in the very element it bases itself on, Guess the Word does not fulfill any of its objectives and will feel too limited and too short for everyone, including its target audience.

4 / 10 - Sonic Forces
Nov 18, 2017

Sonic Forces was supposed to carry the baton from its predecessor but instead it dropped embarrassingly and doesn't know what to do with it anymore. Despite a good technical performance regarding the game's fluidity, Sonic Forces features short, linear and unimaginative levels and has less gameplay mechanics than other 3D Sonic games. To top it all, its controls can be unpredictable and it delivers what is probably the worst soundtrack of all the main Sonic games. Sonic Forces had a simple job to do but it couldn't keep the level set by its predecessor.

What Mini Golf Resort has in terms of content lacks in terms of quality. Despite an abundance of courses, holes and items, the gameplay is simply not a match to the amount of content provided and the game's overall poor performance in the audiovisual front, along with some camera flaws and unresponsive interface, make this a difficult experience that requires a lot of improvement before it can be recommended.

4 / 10 - Sssnakes
Jun 13, 2016

Sssnakes tries to bring back the experience of the game that was popularized sixteen years ago in Nokia mobile phones and while the intention is laudable, its execution and implementation end up falling very short of what's expected. Unresponsive controls and an exaggerated difficulty level, along with a sub-par presentation and a lack of content trump over a low price tag and the good ideas introduced in some of the levels.

4 / 10 - Grumpy Reaper
Apr 25, 2016

The Grumpy Reaper is based on an interesting and original concept which is severely ruined by the way the game was executed.

5 / 10 - Runbow Pocket
Jul 16, 2017

Runbow Pocket is a New 3DS version of a Wii U game and there is certainly a loss when scaling it down to a handheld format. On the plus side, this handheld version features many fun and challenging levels and the game is rich in content but there is no element that makes it stand out when compared to the original and the lack of a local multiplayer mode is an impediment to a better experience.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force could have been a whole new entry in the Metroid Prime series but unfortunately its fine control system and variety of game modes (including online multiplayer) are not enough to save it from the overall lack of interest of its missions, lacklustre bosses (for the Metroid series, at least) and simply unfitting art style and visual environment.

And the wait for an outstanding, groundbreaking Sonic continues. Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal does not live up to the expectations due to a dull level design, a sub-par outlook and gameplay that is simply not compelling.

Its lack of character and content are a real obstacle after the first entertaining moments around the game, as Ascent of Kings features very little in terms of plot and charm that could keep the players holding on to its decent gameplay.

Ultra Space Battle Brawl has its charms and is not without its fun elements, with a competent gameplay that is set to strike a chord immediately with many players. Unfortunately the experience is also rather limited, and the dearth of game modes and a constant repetition of its themes means that it won't take long until Ultra Space Battle Brawl starts feeling tiresome.

Aegis Defenders does a lot of things right - the game looks good, it features interesting gameplay mechanics and has a decent plot...but that's not all that makes a memorable game and unfortunately, Aegis Defenders does not manage to organize its positive elements well enough, and its repetitive puzzles and challenges of exaggerated difficulty make this a more difficult game to enjoy which could be much better if it was better structured.

Tiny Barbarian DX succeeds at recreating an action platormer experience that's reminiscent of the 8 and 16-bit eras and its very good control system is certainly key at that. It does not live up to its inspirations, however, as its lack of charisma leads to generic and bland levels, despite a good lifespan, and a level of difficulty that is way too high will make it rather inaccessible for many players.

Puzzle Adventure Blockle features fun puzzles to play with good ideas at heart. It performs less well on implementing its ideas, as the plot feels out of place and the game does not provide enough incentives for the players to continue their experience. Had these elements been more polished, this could be a more memorable game.

It's good to see that Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, while far from the higher thresholds of the classic Sonic games that built the character, improves on its predecessor and presents a very decent gameplay and good ol' high speed action on its levels. It doesn't go all the way with it, though, as its lacklustre visual presentation demonstrates, not to mention the lack of alternative paths but this new chapter is closer to what is expected from a game bearing the name of Sonic.

6 / 10 - Binaries
Dec 28, 2017

Binaries features a good idea and an interesting concept in a genre that is already heavily represented in the Nintendo Switch catalog. What it does less well is the way it implements its difficulty level, which gets too much protagonism for its own good and can make the gameplay experience more frustrating.

Infinite Dunamis is a competent, if low-budget and unambitious RPG designed in the style of its 16-bit ancestors. What it lacks for in originality of the plot, characters and style it makes up in terms of an interesting and involving combat system.

Witch and Hero II may not fully live up to its potential due to a feeling of repetitiveness and confusing control mechanics but it does boast a rather interesting gameplay and has a certain charm of its own. While the levels could be more varied, the players will have to use elements of strategy and action to get through, which coupled with the game's humorous dialogues will still provide for a pleasant experience.

Act it Out! A Game of Charades brings the well-known charades game to the Wii U in a format that allows up to eight players at once. While the production is simple and responsive enough to work, it also falls short of taking full advantage of the Wii U's capacities, making its price tag a bit too hefty for this competent but still rather underachieving work.

Ninja Pizza Girl is an interesting blend of platforming, parkour and awareness towards bullying that brings some interesting gameplay mechanics but seems to forget some of its message that ends up being somehow set aside. While the visual environment and soundtrack feel disappointing, not to mention the lack of variety of the levels, this is still an interesting, welcome and fun game.
