6 / 10.0 - Blair Witch
Jul 8, 2020

Blair Witch is not a totally horrible game, but it is far from good enough to be strongly recommended. Which is a shame, because there are strong points in the title, which in the end ended up being buried by long and repetitive sessions of looking for collectibles and puzzles with little logical sense.

Catherine: Full Body is about the two extremes of adult life: commitment or freedom. The story may seem to have some holes or badly developed characters, but this is not a flaw, because the intention of the game is to become a metaphor using precisely this context of indecision and questioning that the protagonist lives. With beautiful visuals and renewed gameplay, the remastering can please both those who have tried the original title and those who will play it for the first time.

7 / 10.0 - Castle Pals
Jul 22, 2020

Castle Pals is not a must play in the Nintendo Switch library, but it is a game worth trying if you are interested in simple platform titles.

6 / 10.0 - Reed 2
Jul 25, 2020

If you're looking for something simple to play, Reed 2 might be worth it. However, if you are a little picky with the quality of the games, you might want to look for another title. The main problem of the game is not only the poorly developed level design and some programming errors, but its lack of boldness.

7.5 / 10.0 - Spacejacked
Aug 1, 2020

Despite its simplicity, Spacejacked is an impressive and charismatic tower defense. Using different elements, from 2D platform to strategy, developer Rotten Mage managed to give personality to the game. Its high level of difficulty makes it a difficult title to recommend to everyone, but if you are a fan of frantic arcades, it will certainly be a worthwhile experience.

2 / 10.0 - Tiny Racer
Aug 6, 2020

Amid so much lack of whimsy and technical problems that hinder the functionality of this title, what frustrates most about Tiny Racer is not what it has become, but what it has ceased to become. Although simple, the visual style seemed charismatic enough to bring a fun racing game to life, but unfortunately it was not enough to overcome the many flaws that this title has.

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.

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.

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.

7 / 10.0 - Inertial Drift
Sep 8, 2020

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.

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.

5 / 10.0 - Bounty Battle
Sep 17, 2020

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.

9 / 10.0 - Rivals of Aether
Oct 6, 2020

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.

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.

7 / 10.0 - Kirby Fighters 2
Oct 25, 2020

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.

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.

9 / 10.0 - Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Nov 12, 2020

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.

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.

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.

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.
