Navegante is clearly a talented studio, and have it in them to come up with something really special, but Greak Memories of Azur sadly falls short.

7 / 10.0 - Winds & Leaves
Aug 2, 2021

This charming jaunt was a delightful, verdant explosion of summer, underpinned with a sound ecological message.

It's not for everyone, but by goodness it is great that things like Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective are being made.

7 / 10.0 - Risk System
Jul 14, 2021

Risk System is for the hardcore, yet it's also original and well presented. That said, it just won't click for some due to the high level of difficulty.

Jul 1, 2021

This is a superb port of one of the finest arcade sports experiences of them all, and instantly becomes an essential purchase for Switch owners.

8 / 10.0 - Cyber Hook
Jun 28, 2021

It's only when things slow down in Cyber Hook that things feel clunky and awkward. The rest of the time this is a senses-heightening adrenaline shot to right to the eyeball.

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 goes for a family-friendly approach that works, but can't compete with the fun of the Mario & Sonic titles.

7 / 10.0 - Very Very Valet
Jun 17, 2021

Very Very Valet is a decent, decent effort from Toyful – a quirky premise executed in an eye catching and genuinely funny way, with the positives nearly always outweighing the negatives.

Tour de France 21 isn't a particularly fun game to play for a neutral, but will appeal to a core fanbase, whilst giving all of us something of an appreciation of what a tough sport this is.

Guilty Gear Strive is a real triumph for Arc System Works, fast becoming the gold standard of the genre, and it is going to be extremely fun to see how it plays out in coming months.

There are simply far better options available than Will Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town, and as such this cannot be recommended as anything near to the best the console offers.

Natsuku Chronicles is a seriously entertaining title, which fans of classics like Border Down and R-Type Final will absolutely lap up.

5.5 / 10.0 - Turrican Flashback
Jan 25, 2021

A compilation of some good and some average games, but given the historic nature of them all, it'd have been nice to see a bit more effort put into this package.

Isle of Armor won't convince naysayers to try Pokemon Sword and Shield for the first time, but offers fans some lovely new content and bags of charm.

5 / 10.0 - Pong Quest
Jun 1, 2020

Pong Quest has real heart and soul, it just hasn't been properly thought through, and that's a shame, as the flimsy story is genuinely likeable

Jun 1, 2020

Lonely Mountains: Downhill feels very much at home on the Switch, and as such comes with our full endorsement, even if you haven't already experienced it on another format.

9 / 10.0 - Jet Lancer
Jun 1, 2020

Oozing retro arcade cool, yet still feeling modern and unique, Armor Games Studios have absolutely delivered with Jet Lancer.

8 / 10.0 - Fury Unleashed
Apr 28, 2020

Apart from some at times tiny writing on the Switch handheld, Fury Unleashed looks sublime, has riffage for days, and represents an excellent run and gun wormhole to disappear down.

10 / 10.0 - Persona 5 Royal
Mar 17, 2020

For those that have already enjoyed the original game, this is a fan's dream, with everything you could wish for and more, with nearly every aspect improved upon. A spellbinding videogame, and one that deserves to be spoken about in reverential terms for many years to come.

Online flaws aside, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] is comfortably one of the best looking and fun to play fighters for the system.
