Even if SYNTHETIK: Ultimate had its narrative totally discarded, it would not lose its luster at all, because the greatest quality of the title is the focus on destroying everything. The vast amount of weapons and classes are enough to provide hours of fun for any player. Although the graphics are not stunning and the menu interface presents navigation problems, the gameplay is a strong incentive to continue trying to complete at least the main campaign.

Picklock is a creative game that had its potential buried by poorly adjusted controls. Not even the humor, the art style or the soundtrack can avoid the bad impression that the gameplay conveys to the player. Unfortunately, a title that could attract attention within the indie scene will go unnoticed because of completely avoidable game design issues.

Doom Eternal is a 2020 treasure that will be remembered for a long time as the best FPS of recent years. Although the title oozes quality, it is not for everyone due to the intense gameplay and the high difficulty that may not suit all tastes. The Switch port is satisfactory enough to recommend to those who have never had contact with the series, but those who already have the game on other platforms will probably feel little inclined to play it again.

Breakpoint brings some concepts not normally seen in the genre, such as spaceships using melee weapons. The audiovisual work deserves to be highlighted, as well as the general polishing. The absence of more modes leaves a half-baked feeling, but it does not take away the shine of the simple and precise gameplay.

Two Parsecs From Earth is an average game with little polish, and does not deserve a strong indication. Generic Level Design and excessive repetition make the experience dull. In addition, technical problems, such as the protagonist's damage box being larger than him, hinder the game. At least Z3-L1 and its mechanics are charismatic enough to have a sequel that lives up to its potential.

Sniper Elite 4 is a title that will appeal to both casual players and fans of the genre, especially those who prefer stealth. The Switch port has some visual problems that take away some of the charm, but the gameplay experience is good. The game is not a Triple A, but it achieves the same quality as one.

Surely fans of animation will have some appreciation for Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia. The game is beautiful, has very vivid scenarios and portrait the monsters in epic proportions. However, the dull combat and repetitive structure can make all your excitement turn to regret for having started this adventure.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is not exactly the kind of Zelda we're used to, but it is the game that all fans of the series needed, especially for filling gaps left by Breath of the Wild. In addition, it is easily one of the best titles available on the Nintendo Switch. The punctual performance problems that the game has do not overshadow its brilliance and, certainly, its success will leave a legacy for the main franchise.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has features that make it unique, but the various elements of its narrative are dated and may not appeal to all players. Its arcade proposal matches very well with the portability of the Switch, along with that, the renewed graphics and motion controls make the port for the hybrid the ultimate experience, which makes the Nintendo Wii version obsolete.

With new content, improved graphics and refined gameplay, Pikmin 3 Deluxe is indeed a deluxe version of the original game. After all, it is one of the most beautiful titles on the Switch, even though the visual improvements are not so noticeable. Cooperative multiplayer is an excellent reason for veteran players to visit PNF-404 on remastering, but the lack of online resources shows that Nintendo still needs to evolve a lot to enhance its subscription service.

Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm bets all its chips on looking like The Legend Zelda, but fails to execute mandatory mechanics of the genre, such as locking the camera. The simple storyline and neat setting provide a fun experience for hardcore fans of Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker, but the poor combat system and lack of polish make it a title that is hardly recommended for all players.

Although it has its charm, in general Kirby Fighters 2 is a repetitive title and of little value, but it can be a lot of fun when enjoyed in the company of someone. The various unlockable content and variations of Kirby justify its existence, but the absence of more modes and the simple gameplay mechancis leave the impression that the game is just easy money for Nintendo.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix overcomes all problems of its predecessor and manages to do what it takes to become an average game, but it is still a long way from reaching its true potential. The colorful and creative aesthetic makes this game ideal for children.

Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition is worth every penny for bringing new game modes, all DLCs and several important tweaks to the gameplay. Along with that, the Switch port is an excellent portable multiplayer - quality that is priceless.

The proposal to join characters from other indie titles is noble, but its execution is terrible. With poor gameplay and performance issues, Bounty Battle is far from living up to its potential. Unfortunately, it was not this time that we saw the main heroes of the independent developer scene shining together in a fighting game.

For lovers of the anime, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a dream come true, despite the technical problems it has. However, it can cause frustration in anyone looking for a more traditional soccer experience. If you see the gameplay present in this title as a choice, it is certainly a game that will be worthwhile.

Inertial Drift can provide a fun experience for the player, but it takes a little effort to understand the gameplay and the drift mechanics present in the game. The vaporwave aesthetics can captivate the interest of the players, but the various technical flaws cancel out the charm that the title has, making it interesting for few players or, perhaps, for the most enthusiastic about experimental games.

Amid mistakes and successes, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a solid adventure that manages to translate the essence of the animated series in a way never seen before in video games. The dated level design does not overshadow the great work done by Soleil together with Adult Swim. The diversified combat system and art elements make the title more than recommended for fans of the character and for those who enjoy action games.

With very charming and well-crafted sprites, SAMURAI SHODOWN! 2 leaves Neo Geo Pocket in the past and officially returns to the arena. But the lack of online resources and limitations in the game itself give little reason for anyone who is not an enthusiast to acquire the relaunch. If you are curious about old video games or a fan of the franchise, the title may be interestin. But if not, it may be a game of little benefit.

The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines tries to be a different game with creative mechanics and well-crafted visuals, but the lack of variety in gameplay and level design problems make it mediocre. Perhaps if tinyDino Games had dedicated a little more time to devise different battle mechanics, the title would deserve a stronger recommendation.
