South Park: The Fractured But Whole is an amazing game also on Nintendo Switch, despite the long loading times, and some problems in the docked mode (a bit of aliasing and fonts a little bit too small for comfort). A wonderful experience for all the South Park fans, but only if you don't have the chance to play it elsewhere.

9.7 / 10.0 - God of War
Apr 12, 2018

God of War is the best thing happened to PlayStation 4 since Bloodborne. Nothing is out of place, nothing is ordinary. The art direction is amazingly inspired, the combat system is really deep and engaging, and everything on screen is, hands down, unlike anything else you ever saw on the PlayStation 4. Honestly, there's no reason not to play this new masterpiece from Santa Monica Studio.

8.5 / 10.0 - Far Cry 5

Enough as it is, Far Cry 5 is an excellent chapter in the series.

In certain respects, Burnout Paradise aged pretty well: under the revamped visuals and the smooth frame rate, this remastered version keeps the original gameplay unaltered, and that means sheer, chaotic fun and adrenaline-pumping races across Paradise City. Sure, some gameplay elements feel a little older today (where's the fast travel?), but honestly, who cares when you're having so much fun?

The Switch version of Outlast works fine, in the sense that Red Barrels achieved the maximum result with the minimum effort. The game is a 1:1 porting, virtually identical to the previous releases (except for the frame rate locked at 30 fps), an experience not suitable for the faint of heart, extremely emotional and always scary.

9 / 10.0 - Bayonetta
Feb 14, 2018

Eight years after its first appearance on PS3 and Xbox 360, the wild and exuberant Bayonetta lands on Nintendo Switch, and it hasn't lost a bit of its sexy charm. This new release can be appreciated wherever you want, with a solid and granitic 60 fps, and a better visual experience on the go.

9 / 10.0 - Bayonetta 2
Feb 14, 2018

The remastered version of Bayonetta 2 is a moral imperative for every owner of the Nintendo Switch who didn't play the most stylish and crazy action series of all time. There are some issues with the framerate here and there (especially in the exploration sequences), and the screen of the console has a better image quality than the TV. Nonetheless, a must-have for every action fan out there.

Nintendo Switch can finally boast a great JRPG within its remarkable roster. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a game that every fan of the genre should play. There are some minor flaws, such as the great chaos ensuing during some battles, but the combat system is deep and rewarding, and the story and the characters are great. Well done, Monolith Soft, well done.

9.7 / 10.0 - Super Mario Odyssey
Nov 8, 2017

Super Mario Odyssey is a true expression of joy: a vibrant explosion of colours, surprises, wonderful design and excellent gameplay. It's a perfect match between the past and the future: it makes you feel immediately at home, yet at the same time it's a constant offering of something new and exciting. If you were looking for an excuse to buy a Nintendo Switch, well, look no further.

8.6 / 10.0 - LocoRoco Remastered
May 14, 2017

Eleven years have passed, but LocoRoco is still wonderful to look and enjoyable to play. The level design is top-notch, and the art direction is truly beautiful. It could've been a perfect game, were it for some minor flaws in the control system.

9.5 / 10.0 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Apr 23, 2017

This is undoubtedly the biggest, funniest and best Mario Kart ever. If you already have the new Nintendo console, well, it's a no-brainer, really. If you don't, well, it could be the right time to Switch.

This is one of the sloppiest porting ever made, full of bugs, crashes and framerate drops. This is especially unfortunate, because LEGO City Undercover is probably the funniest LEGO title ever made by TT Games. Our suggestion? Wait for a solid patch, a price drop or a sale.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the last of a long list of collections of the main titles of the series. If you're a long time fan, you'll find it completely worthless. If you never played any of them, though, and you're looking to catch up before the release of Kingdom Hearts III, this could be your lifeline.

7.7 / 10.0 - Snake Pass
Apr 4, 2017

Snake Pass has a colorful look, a cute character, and a truly inspired level design. It's also very difficult, and not in a good way: the peculiar control system and the physics of the slithering creature can test your patience at times. It's a good platform game, but you're gonna need a lot of patience and self control.

We desperately tried to like FlatOut 4, but we simply couldn't. Despite some fun game modes and a decent multiplayer offering, the gameplay is sooo confusing, and bugs abound all around. Well, the steep price doesn't help either.

5.5 / 10.0 - 1-2-Switch
Mar 13, 2017

The real problem with 1-2-Switch is the steep price: 50 bucks is a lot of money for a bunch of cute minigames (half of which are meh). There are some occasions when 1-2-Switch shows the great potential of the new Nintendo console, but it's not enough to justify the buy.

Shards of Darkness could have been an amazing stealth game, thanks to a witty and cynical main character, a wonderful level design and a lot of skills and perks. Unfortunately, the experience is partially ruined by a sub-par AI and some flaws in the control system.

The main concept of Mario Sports Superstars is not a bad one: five intriguing sports (some of them already played in their stand-alone versions), for a title specifically designed for multiplayer. Unfortunately, there's not too much content to go on, and the multiplayer itself could have been handled much, much better.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a sort of mythical experience, that kind of trip where you end up asking yourself if the God of videogames truly exists, and if it does, it may have the face of Shigeru Miyamoto. A huge open world that keeps enchanting the player every step of the way, well beyond the end of the game. Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda ever made, and one of the best videogames of all time.
