Styx: Shards of Darkness is a little big sequel of the first chapter, Master of Shadows. Gameplay, graphics, atmosphere: all is in the right place.

88 Heroes is a surprise: visually stunning and with a hard difficulty level. It has various quotes from 80s movies, and a great pixel art work behind.

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers for Nintendo Switch is a great tribute to a perfect videogame, probably the greatest beat 'em up of all time. Happy 30th birthday, Street Fighter!

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a great return for the MMO made by ZeniMax and Bethesda Softwork. A standalone add-on for a brand new adventure, in the legendary island of Vvanderfell.

GRIDD: Retroenhanced is an excellent cyberpunk shoot 'em up for anyone looking for a fast and stylish title, inspired by movies like TRON. Well done, Antab Studios.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a great and enjoyable survival horror. Perhaps, the PS4/One version isn't exactly the best way to go, but it's certainly a great porting of a game made in 2012.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is basically a story driven tie-in, inspired by the trilogy from 20th Century Fox's franchise. Too short, too smart. In one word: forgettable.

A simply but funny puzzle game based on symmetry, developed by Gamera Interactive (Unit 4 and the highly anticipated Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms). Not bad at all.

This action puzzle, now avaiable on Nintendo Switch console, is the same - funny - title released on other platforms some months ago. Very good, indeed. [OpenCritic note: Marcello Paolillo separately reviewed the PS4 (7.5) and Switch (7) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]

Payday 2 on Nintendo Switch will not revolutionize the genre, but it's a very good porting, except for some technical issues and no voice chat at launch. An enjoyable cooperative FPS, so far.

The 25th Ward: The Silver Case is a remaster of the old visual novel developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. Unfortunately, just because something is "remastered" doesn't mean it's better.

Gekido on Nintendo Switch is the same, good, beat 'em up played on GBA in 2002, with better graphics, sound and multiplayer mode. Great job Naps Team, once again.

Don't Starve Mega Pack is the definitive edition of a great survival game, with a beautiful "burtonesque" sense of wonder. Try it, if you haven't done before.

Dragon's Crown Pro is the same, great, hack 'n' slash played years ago. 4K resolution, new soundtrack and great gameplay take the game to a higher level.
