At many times, XEL doesn't seem like a title that is really ready, showing flaws that could have been avoided with more careful and optimized development for Switch. That so, I carry the hope that the game will receive updates to improve its performance, as it is a game that definitely deserves a second chance, both for its beautiful presentation and for the attractive gameplay proposals.

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.

YesterMorrow on the Switch demonstrates tremendous potential that is not performed with excellence. I will not say that I did not have fun playing the title, as it is interesting even with its problems. The balance between puzzles, jumps and battles is very pleasant, as are the challenges of harmonious difficulty. Almost everything is smart and engaging, with small touches that show personality, although it is seriously affected by poor execution. In short, we have a mature title, but unfortunately it suffers from its technical problems and bugs.

Its potential flaws could easily compromise the final verdict, but Clive 'N' Wrench won me over thanks to his charisma and robust exploration proposals in spacious worlds, offering a fun action game that revives the golden times of 3D platformers. So, cheers to Clive and Wrench, who form an unusual animal combination to save the day in different windows that take us back in time.

Undeniably, Wizorb is a fun and challenging block breaker that very well embodies the prestige of a genre that has had great names like Breakout, Arkanoid and other arcades. So, even with problems, including the lack of variety of objectives, the low depth of progression and an unstable difficulty, we have another good Switch game, especially when played in an uncompromising way.

In the end, They Always Run is a challenging, fun and especially electrifying title, with a lot of action in its combats and chase sequences. It merits saying the journey isn't infalible to errors and technical failures, with bugs and glitches happening sometimes and ruining the gameplay. But, overall, this doesn't mean the game doesn't offer happy moments while traversing the galaxy. After all, we have the company of Aiden, the raddest three-arms bounty hunter in the universe.

If on the one hand Monster Harvest gets it right in certain aspects, such as its farming system and its beautiful aesthetics, on the other hand we have superficial combats and performance errors hampering the journey, which ended up disappointing me a little. Anyway, it's undeniable that the title offers fun and has creative ides, which when combined, as well as Uncle Spark's ingenious mix of plants and animals, can entertain players of different styles at the same time.

One Escape is a fun and dynamic game. Its brief journey enchants for presenting a cool level design and three unique characters, which bring a diversity that prevents the campaign from becoming repetitive. Although it doesn't have depth, replay factor or other incentives, we have a charming and cool journey to live, even if it lasts a short time with its heightened simplicity.

With a lot of content, Maneater is a fun and exciting game, mainly because it has creative concepts and unique moments, like the acrobatic jumps that we perform to assassinate humans on dry land and the memorable battles against motorized boats. Despite some flaws, the title is a good choice to spend hours exploring immersive aquatic environments, allowing us to live the other side of the shark stories shown in scary films and television shows.

The Brazilian game Override 2: Super Mech League has interesting proposals, such as unique fighting modes and varied characters. Unfortunately, much of this content is hindered by poor performance on Switch- this version is full of command lag and graphical glitches. This does not mean that you will not have fun moments in the title, as there are many cool points, like the opportunity to control a gigantic fighter Mecha. Just don't get too excited about the idea, as much of that greatness can be affected by the frustrating performance.

Paw Paw Paw is a consistent game that brings a good variety and inventive insights, which made the title show more commitment than I expected. It was a lot of fun to go ahead and learn more about the unusual world of animals that don't want to wear pants, in an adventure that holds good surprises, such as the presence of mounts, the possibility of hiring henchmen and even local multiplayer. It is not something that I would recommend to everyone, but it can be a good option if you enjoy beating, action, upgrades and, especially, an eccentric and fun story.

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.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central's party does have a few stumbles, such as the controllers instability and the lack of continuity in its narrative core. However, those factors don't represent an absence of fun. With an attractive concept and a ton of musical energy, this title deserves a chance for those who want to gather their friends or just hit the floor with the incredible ability to transform the Joy-Con into the iconic maracas of the Amigo mascot.

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.

Featuring a lot of fun in the platformer format, Bat Boy is a pleasant surprise in the Switch's indie library. Despite the performance problems that can be frustrating for hindering progression, there is a lot of quality in this action adventure, which hits a real home run with its creative concept that explores sports superheroes.

Kraino Origins is a new platformer with retro premises that joins the Switch library. While its pixel art provides beautiful scenery, its challenges guarantee a very intense gameplay, making the adventure, even if short, have a charm as elegant as Kraino, who wears a stylish suit and a nice purple hat.

Looking at its good gameplay proposals in deckbuilder and active time battle mechanics, Brave's Rage presents itself as a pleasant RPG added to the Switch's indies library. Though it has issues with its personality, the challenges are robust enough to keep us interested for a long time. The adventure shows its ability to offer valious moments, as rich as the reward promised by the king to the Brave who defeats the dragon.

Despite the empty servers and some graphical issues, OddBallers was a game that captivated me with its charisma. With a unique visual style and creative possibilities in the matches, this launch deserves a chance especially if you're a fan of party games and wants to challenge your friends. Overall, here's a title with the potential to offer very fun and competitive matches just like real dodgeball matches with your friends.

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.

On paper, Ghost Song is a fun metroidvania that enchants with its spatial narrative, its pleasurable moments of exploration and its incredible ability to form alien ambiences. However, it is necessary to mention that, at least on Switch, facing such challenges also means having to deal with possible drops in fps and frustrating moments of input lag. These flaws don't make Deadsuit's journey any less fun, but unfortunately they make it a little more unpleasant when faced on Nintendo's console.
