Delete After Reading is a text adventure that doesn't make the most out of its proposal. Though the last chapter is a good example of what could have been, the challenges are really basic and limited and the interaction with the text lacks boldness and innovation. Fans of child stories who like text games may still appreciate the game but they'll likely notice it could have been a lot more interesting.

The re-release of Digimon World: Next Order is a great chance for fans of the series who don't own a PlayStation to take advantage of sim raising. Unfortunately, the advantages stop there. The quality of the work leaves a lot to be desired and even the translation into Portuguese, which was supposed to be a differential of the new version, indicates a great lack of care by Bandai Namco with what it is offering to the end user.

7 Days to End With You is a curious game whose language concept originally seems interesting, but which turns out to be a superficial view on this topic. Even so, the mysteries hidden under these mechanics are curious and it is a title that fans of more atypical narrative works and logical puzzles may be curious to know.

The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling is an otome visual novel that's worth it for the genre fans but the English translation is lacking. The social and political context of the plot is enticing and brings up relevant discussions on power and sexism that stand out from any apparent romanticization of affect in a morally questionable context. We hope HuneX can fix these issues and work for the next games to have more care in translation quality as this is an essential element of the genre.

RWBY: Arrowfell is a passable action platformer, but there are many better options on the market. For those who are big fans of the franchise, perhaps the game is more engaging, but it is far from being a strong recommendation for the system.

Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief is a curious stealth game that seems like patchwork. Exploring its systems and seeing the consequences of your actions is fun but the complexity is unnecessary, the mechanics poorly explained, the missions end up being too repetitive and the remaster process needed a little more effort. For those who love the genre and would like an upbeat experience, it may be enjoyable as long as you keep in mind its grievances.

Chinatown Detective Agency is an investigation game with an atypical proposal, which seeks to encourage the player to research on their own in the real world. Despite this, it is a very limited experience and one that deserved more polishing to really become a good example of the genre.

SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash is a captivating game with a simple system that can be a very good entry point into the TCG genre. Unfortunately, the emulation of this Neo Geo Pocket classic doesn't take into account the uniqueness of the original version and ends up undermining what could even have been the best re-release of the portable for the Switch.

Date Night Bowling is a curious combination of bowling and dating sim with an emphasis on minigames. However, it's a really simple game that probably won't keep fans of either genre entertained for long. Despite that, it's an option that can be very fun as a casual experience.

For those who love action roguelikes and can play online with friends, Zengeon might even be interesting. However, overall the game is too shallow to be worth it. Switch already has several other more interesting examples of the genre.

World’s End Club tells an interesting story that is consistent with its creators and brings a beautiful story of friendship between a group of children. However, its platform gameplay is too weak, not adequately exploiting the possibilities offered with short and simple stages. Fans of Kodaka and Uchikoshi can have fun and overlook the issues, but both have worked on much better titles before.

Wave Break is a title that could be quite interesting for skateboarding game fans who want something a little more exaggerated in tone. However, the single player experience turns out not to be all that interesting for someone who is a complete newcomer to the genre. Furthermore, the game still needs more polishing and more content to really be a good example of an extreme sports game.

For more fervent fans of the genre, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV: Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack can be a rich treasure to explore. However, the dedication necessary to understand the significant actions in the complex tangle of the game makes it difficult to enjoy it for almost any other type of player.

Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II decides to take a more experimental [gameplay] exploration instead of making the most out of what was already consolidated in its predecessors. Unfortunately, the end result is more frustrating than ideal, making this game not hit the same quality of previous titles, even with its interesting story and good audiovisual production.

Omurice Next Time is a simple but competent work. By representing the microcosm of a couple with no big ambitions, Griffin Cyan gives us a very comfortable and fun slice-of-life. For anyone interested in a dose of cuteness and warmth, this is an easy recommendation.

Fashion Dreamer is a fashion game with many options for customizing characters and clothes, but exploration quickly becomes repetitive. Especially for those who have played the developer's previous works, it doesn't take long to wish the title had other content to break up the monotony.

Front Mission 2 Remake is a good opportunity to get to know the second title in Square Enix's strategy RPG franchise[, a game] that was never released in the West. Unfortunately, like its predecessor, the gameplay has many quality of life issues that should have been urgently fixed to make the experience more accessible and pleasant. What we have once again is a re-release excessively attached to fidelity without noticing some serious and evident issues that should have been addressed to make the experience modern without losing the game's essence. This is a classic and interesting title back in the scene, but it feels like it could have been more.

Archetype Arcadia presents a curious world but doesn't escape the feeling of generic, artificial narrative. The result is worth it for those who love the genre and feel the premise is interesting, but it doesn't offer anything of highlight beyond that.

D Life is a game that brings back the golden age of arcade innovation and proposes a unique gameplay experience. Without much variety to the challenges and modes, the game ends up feeling limited and repetitive quickly but that does not diminish the charm of its concept that is worth a try especially for those who love titles that demand quick thinking and good reflexes.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is an adventure game focused on supernatural mysteries. With a simple exploration system and a plot made up of easy-to-empathize personal dramas, the title is a good recommendation for fans of the genre, but leaves something to be desired in terms of user experience quality.
