Lumines Arise brings back the puzzle series in a spectacle of lights and music.
QQQbeats!!! is a unique puzzle experience with rhythm elements that, despite some moments that deserved to be clearer, has an infectious energy. It's the type of game that demands a lot of effort to learn how to play well, but can become a big addiction for those who dedicate themselves to it.

Reimagined to better present themselves both as part of the Erdrick trilogy and as a modern experience, DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is a high-quality collection. Both of the comparatively simpler RPGs in the franchise have been given new touches that make this version a great choice for both long-time fans and those who are not yet very familiar with the genre and would like to experience these classics.

Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a curious piece of Falcom's history that finally comes officially to the West. Though it has some quirks that may keep it from what people expect of a competitive fighting game, it's a consistently fun game that's worth exploring, especially for the fans of the Japanese developer.

Class of Heroes 3 Remaster is a good dungeon RPG filled with options for the fans who are more dedicated to the genre. The experience still has details that may annoy those looking for a more comfortable experience, but it's a welcome option on the Switch.

Absolum aims to be a modern beat'em up with roguelite elements in its gameplay.
Mamorukun ReCurse! is a high-level shoot'em up and is very competent in what it proposes to do, exploring a rich curse bullet system as a strategic resource for the player. The whole package is high quality and worth getting to know, especially for fans of the genre or those who would like to know what shmups can offer.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a great way to revisit the classic tactical game in Square Enix's franchise. Faithful to the original release but truly worried about offering a comfortable experience for a new generation, the title remains a tactical RPG of the highest quality and a must-play for fans of the genre.

Digimon Story Time Stranger is a journey of epic proportions within the franchise's universe. Besides being an easy recommendation for fans of Digimon, especially due to its story, it's also a really good RPG and worth exploring at length.

Microids brings a fresh take on Agatha Christie's classic Hercule Poirot story.
Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers is a good return to a competent 2D fighting game that deserves to be available in more systems. Its main weakness, however, is that it doesn't offer a rich pack of modes to make the most out of the gameplay. Despite that, the online mode, Practice, gallery and rich settings are fair motivations to get this version.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is a competent RPG overall, with good combat, synthesis and exploration systems as expected from the franchise. It's a shame, however, that the management system for the store and the town evolution was built in a way that makes it completely dull and hardly integrated to the other parts and that the characters and elements of other games in the franchise are underexplored and become a hindrance.

Sushi Ben is an experience of exploring a colorful world with truly compelling characters, but that ends up as a much weaker game than it should be. The sum is worth less than the quality of its parts and, though it's still possible to have fun with the weirdness of the experience, this project deserved more polish to truly stand out.

Supergiant's Hades 2 is finally out of early access and the full package is an impressive action roguelike.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a remake that respects the original RPG and manages to elevate the experience with its changes without forgetting its essence. It's a laudable example of how to reimagine a game, reaching an unbelievable balance between faithfulness and modernization.

Illusion of Itehari is a great otome visual novel that comes to Switch with a compelling world and solid, well-developed romantic relationships. Though navigating through some route choices may be a little inconvenient at times due to the lack of clarity on the impact of some choices, the experience as a whole is really worth a shot.

Aniplex's new game, Hyke: Northern Light(s), puts players face to face with many dangers in top-down 2D action.
Roadwarden is an impressive text adventure RPG, but the Switch version is severely lacking when it comes to technical conditions. It's a shame as this should be one of the best of its kind on the platform, but it's just impossible to recommend it compared to the PC release.
Everybody's Golf Hot Shots brings Sony's classic golf series to more platforms, but the excessive content barriers and performance hiccups on the Switch make the game less engaging than it should be. It's still fun, especially for those looking for a complex golf simulator, but it's not an easy game to recommend to anyone unfamiliar with the franchise and the sport.

The end result is that Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra may be addicting, making its apparently fast matches soon become hours spent in getting some more victories, but, as a game as a service, a good chunk of the experience will depend on managing it well on the long run.
