Bleak Faith: Forsaken gives the impression that it is inspired not by 'Dark Souls' itself, but merely by a potential synopsis of it.

Empyreal, Silent Games’ new title, tries to do too much at once, but between misaligned ambitions and technical issues, it ends up failing more often than it succeeds.

The promise of Princess Peach: Showtime! was in the name: to deliver a "show". But unfortunately it's not bold enough to enchant us with its short campaign.

For those who have been following the series, Infinite Wealth manages to be a wealth of infinite nostalgia. Unfortunately, it stumbles in its ambition and forgets its humble origins. More can be good, but it's not always better.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of those rare surprises that will stay with us for a very, very long time. It’s ambitious, distinctive, and confident in what it does, unafraid to be strange, poetic, and even unsettling. The artistic direction shines; the combat is fun and addictive; and the story grips us, hurts us, but also lifts us in a whirlwind of emotion. It may be short (around 30 hours of gameplay), but it never feels like anything is missing. And there’s always something to discover, try out, or simply enjoy – whether it’s an optional boss that forces us to rethink our playstyle or a game of volleyball with the Gestral. Everything in it feels crafted with care and passion. And for that, I’m simply grateful.

Not all remasters are negative, especially if they deliver better accessibility and availability. Persona 3 Reload is a good example of this.

Harold Halibut is a beautiful game overflowing with love and ambition that would be better consumed in the form of a movie or series, falling just short in execution.

Despite all the good things about Persona 5 Tactica, it must be admitted that this experience could easily pass without being a Persona, much less a Persona 5.

Eternights can think with both heads, but when it decides to be serious, it is endearing and has beautiful moments between the characters.

Kanai Ward attracts both the adventure's protagonist and the player to a long and rainy night, where we go through challenging situations to help the most vulnerable achieve justice. We just need to have some tolerance for anime tropes.

Back in 1995 on the Nintendo Switch may sound like a tempting promise for enthusiasts of retro-themed works but beware the promises of its name. The game bases itself on the 32-bit generation, which is unusual but not a bad decision per se. Unfortunately it doesn't get anything right and it fails to understand that what made games of that generation stand out was the amusing naiveté they employed to go around the technical limits of the time, whereas Back in 1995 is just a clumsy collage of elements that try to simulate a game from 25 years ago but which plays terribly and without any sense of enjoyment whatsoever.

Dezatopia on the Nintendo Switch looks simple, really very simple. That may not be a sin per se, as it's the gameplay and performance that really harm this work. While there is a lot of frantic action going around, the game performs too poorly for anyone to enjoy it and its control system is peculiar enough to make it difficult to get used to. All in all, Dezatopia simply doesn't rise up to the minimum expected standards of a sidescrolling shoot'em up.

Ships on the Nintendo Switch proposes something that there's not a lot of in the console's catalogue. However, and while there could certainly be something to extract from a management simulator around naval vessels, Ships just isn't worth it. A dull, repetitive game with poor controls, slow gameplay and a featureless environment, Ships for the Nintendo Switch is a piece of software that's best kept at bay.
