For fans of magic and witchcraft, Spells & Secrets offers a full plate that pleases in terms of plot and gaming premises in roguelite and RPG structures. However, on the Switch, these factors are hampered due to the game's current performance, which becomes less fun and, at times, even irritating. It would be amazing if the problems were magically fixed through updates, as there is so much potential and creativity hidden in the enchanted castle of Greifenstein's Academy.

In Just Dance 2024 Edition, we find what the fans expect from the annual releases of the franchise: a varied choice of recent songs, good choreography, and the introduction of new features. The issue is that many of the old issues are still present in the series, such as slow menus, crashes, and the dependency on online connection for many actions. For that reason, it's recommendable to check out the new release's soundtrack before buying this ticket for the big annual party.

It is curious that, in many moments, Nocturnal reminded me of the Prince of Persia franchise. In fact, the game has an essence that is worthy of this historic series, mainly due to its intense sword clashes. However, there is a notable and creative differential, which is the use of fire as a constant element in puzzles, duels and explorations. Despite the title having some problems, such as a poorly present story, performance errors and a short duration, Ardeshir's adventure presents good glimpses on the Switch. With the sword in hand, exploring the Isle of Nahran and scaring away the fog with firepower become extremely fun activities to carry out.

Showcasing platform concepts, investigation missions and moments of stealth, The Library of Babel presents itself as an interesting action title, even with problems in the quality of life of the gameplay, such as when using the items, and in its presentation, which can be confusing due to the excess of information and the lack of translation into Portuguese. However, the development of the story pays off to the point of forming an excellent adventure full of enigmas, which becomes even cooler for anyone who is a fan of the literature of magical realism and Jorge Luis Borges. Thus, in the company of Ludovik, it is as if we were reading an unpublished short story by the Argentine author, which feeds our imagination with its surreal aesthetics and the occurrence of fantastic events.

Unlike what Death wants to do to handle the issues in its company, Have a Nice Death isn't a revolution for the roguelike genre. However, this doesn't hinder the game's qualities and polishment, which is able to provide a fun adventure with a lot of strategic variety and intensity. As such, it's enough to walk through Death Inc.'s corridors and mow down enemies to live a sinister but adorable adventure.

On one hand, Just Dance 2023 Edition is a promising game due to a good music selection, incremented menus, new online possibilities and other features. On the other, it leaves something to be desired due to the absence of modes, obligatory internet connection, interface errors, and few songs in its subsctiption system. In sum, this means the launch may please the fans but it still has to improve other aspects to be as big as its franchise should, having gained tradition especially in Nintendo consoles.
