Battle Train is a title that oozes charisma and personality. Although its execution is not without flaws in important aspects such as the tutorial and the difficulty curve, it is impossible to deny that this is a unique game, which deserves to be checked out by fans of deckbuilders and turn-based strategies who enjoy out-of-the-box and humorous works. Furthermore, between explosions, cards and accurate jokes, fun is guaranteed: shall we see you at the show?

Chronicles of the Wolf surprised me positively. Representing its influences with pride, Migami Games delivered a captivating, fun metroidvania that hits all the base pillars, like narrative, ambientation and gameplay. Beyond nostalgia, the conclusion is that this perilous trip to XVIII Century Gévaudan is worth living for fans of the genre who aren't afraid of bidimensional haunted castles. After all, subduing the horrors that torment the area is long overdue.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition succeeds in its mission to revitalize the 2011 cult classic for a new generation. However, the simplistic nature of this remaster prevents it from being strongly recommended and may frustrate those who expected a more polished experience that is closer, graphically speaking, to its acclaimed sequel.

Challenging and captivating, Monster Train 2 joins the select list of the best deckbuilders available on the Switch, thanks to its hundreds of possible strategic combinations and a technically impeccable port. Although important aspects such as the tutorial and the difficulty curve could clearly be improved, there is no denying that this is an unmissable journey for fans of the genre looking for something new, capable of providing hours of entertainment.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon delivers what it promises: a love letter to the Western RPGs that marked an era and the hearts of many fans. However, it is clear that, to break through the niche bubble and truly stand out (as its greatest influences once did), more polish is needed in fundamental aspects, such as performance and difficulty.

Combining nostalgia and challenge in the right way, Tempest Rising proves that war strategy games not only still have a place in the market, but can also be unmissable experiences, capable of winning over new and old fans alike.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate succeeds in its mission of offering a (currently) definitive version of the Phantom Breaker franchise spin-off. While there are several good beat 'em ups in the Switch library, there's no denying that this young girls fighters' adventure performs well and especially fits the versatility of Nintendo's device. So, if what you're looking for is a new adventure in this genre currently in a recent boom, this is a very solid choice despite not being quite as spectacular as some more modern titles; nonetheless, if you keep your expectations in check, it's perfectly possible to have fun here.

Star Overdrive is bold in its proposal, but it fails to deliver an experience whose lack of polish in crucial aspects such as movement and combat prevents it from being widely recommended. With a good dose of patience, it is possible to enjoy the story of BIOS and NOUS, but it is difficult not to look at this creative universe and notice a potential that has not been fully realized.

Rise of the Ronin is, from many perspectives, Koei Tecmo's most ambitious adventure and its arrival on PC should be celebrated for providing even more enthusiasts of the theme and fans of the studio with access to it.However, between mistakes and successes in the adaptation, here we have yet another proof that PC ports require a lot of attention during their creation. Therefore, it is difficult to recommend this version more widely until its most serious problems are solved and the performance is within expectations for different hardware configurations, both above and below average. Until then, we hope that, one day, the adventure of the nameless warrior can in fact be experienced in all its glory on computers as well.

Overall, though its slip-ups are easy to notice, we still have an interesting adventure worth checking out for fans of RPG who aren't afraid of diving into a musical world that's as eccentric as it's provocative.

For the creativity involved and the fun it provides, Two Point Museum certainly deserves to be in the pantheon of the best simulators of all time, crowning the Two Point trilogy with what can be considered its most ambitious game to date. Inventive, relaxed and challenging, this is a title recommended both for those who are just getting to know the franchise and for those who have been following it since its inception, a few good years ago in a certain very crazy hospital. For this curious gala exhibition, let there be no doubt: the entrance fee is more than justified.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 disappoints in its long-awaited debut on PC, delivering an adventure that falls short of the expectations created since its launch on PS5. As fun as the sequel to the saga of Peter Parker and Miles Morales is, the poor work of adaptation to the new platform prevents a broader recommendation until its most basic problems are resolved and the performance delivered is within expectations for different hardware configurations.

Close to Nintendo's next generation, ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist debuts as one of Switch's best metroidvanias, expanding what could be seen on its predecessor and proving that 2025 isn't exactly lacking in surprises on the hybrid console library. Though not revolutionary, this is an excellent sequel that's worth checking by both those who are coming into the franchise now as well as its long-time fans. Recommended.

Almost at the end of the day between one generation and another, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD arrives to strengthen the release calendar and prove that good games don't age, using an impeccable remastering from a technical point of view, even if not very daring in other aspects.

FREEDOM WARS Remastered doesn't fix all the issues of the original release, like the repetitive combat and spongey enemies, but it's successful in its main mission of presenting one of the late PlayStation Vita's most interesting titles to a new audience.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind accomplishes its main mission of delivering a nostalgic, fun beat'em up that manages to honor the legacy of its inspirations and also the giant franchise it represents. Unfortunately, some technical missteps end up making the experience not one of the best on the Switch, but the promise of more updates tends to soon fix the aspects that are not so polished on its launch.

Divine Dynamo Flamefrit delivers good moments and manages to entertain during its short duration, but the apparent and undeniable lack of ambition undermines the impact of a title that had everything to be one of the best of its genre on the Switch if it had been properly developed and larger. In the end, the April Fool's joke didn't justify the hype, but it could very well bear fruit in the future if it is one day revisited. I personally hope they do [revisit it].

Tetris Forever succeeds in its mission of delivering a compilation worthy of the legacy of one of the most influential franchises in the gaming industry. Even the small flaws, such as the lack of support for Brazilian Portuguese or certain online games and modes, are not enough to overshadow the brilliance of this virtual museum whose curators were evidently careful and attentive.

Wildermyth: Console Edition fails in its mission to properly bring the acclaimed indie RPG to the Nintendo Switch. Fans of tabletop RPGs and customizable narratives will still find fun here but the rest of the public will do better in waiting to see if the absence of support to our idiom and the critical bugs will be fixed in future updates. A shame, but if the journey teaches us anything, it's that even the worst tragedies can lead to a beautiful story in the end. I sincerely hope that's the case [for this game].

Super Mario Party Jamboree exceeds all expectations and delivers a title worthy of being considered the best Mario Party ever made. With over 100 minigames, several online and offline options, and several modes for one or more players, it's hard to find a reason not to join this party that proves that the Switch still has plenty of fuel to burn and plenty of fun to offer, even after being on the market for so long.
