‎Shin Megami Tensei 5 has become a divine JRPG that contains diabolical challenging ‎‎trial-and-error‎‎ moments that you have to master. This may not be fun for everyone, but those who delve into the many possibilities that the game offers and are not afraid to change course every now and then if it doesn't work out, will find in Shin Megami Tensei 5 one of the most challenging and addictive JRPGs that the Switch has to offer.‎

7.5 / 10.0 - New Pokémon Snap
May 10, 2021

New Pokémon Snap is does everything the original Pokémon Snap did, but more, bigger and better. Fans of the original are in for a treat, but new fans should really first decide if the casual and relaxing photography gameplay is worth their time and money.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a Breath of the Wild prequel that offers some of the best Warriors gameplay we have seen so far. However, the game is not flawless as it suffers from some frustrating controls and framerate issues. However, if you are willing to look past that, enormous fun and adrenaline-driven experience remain.

Super Mario Bros. celebrates it's 35th anniversary and what other way to celebrate with some of the best Mario games ever made in one collection? Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a fantastic package with three games that withstood the test of time, even though they have their flaws. The graphical update is minimal though, but the gameplay quality of the games is good enough that it doesn't even really needs to lean on them anyway.

Catherine Full Body throws you into the most puzzling affair you could ever imagine. This action-adventure puzzle games about the ups and downs of relationships captivate from start to finish thanks to its creative story and its difficult yet fun puzzles. The only downside is that the camera and the controls are a bit slippery in this Switch version.

Even though the Isle of Armor reintroduces 210 new Pokémon and provides a new and easier way to get certain items and upgrades, its story is too short and not entertaining to really prove itself worthy. However you are a big Pokémon fan and just want to capture more of them, this DLC will probably do the job for you.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is a remake from the Red & Blue Rescue Team games from the GBA and Nintendo DS respectively. It's a title full of nostalgia for those who played and loved the original, but seeing how this game was originally a handheld it might be a bit lacking for some who are looking for a brand new Switch game. We recommend playing the free demo first to see if this is something you want to spend money on.

After it's debut on the Wii U, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE returns for the Switch for a second chance to stand in the spotlight. Even though this typical JRPG is charming, it sometimes because a little bit too difficult for it's own good. Luckily new additions to the soften this blow and makes Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore a very enjoyable feel good title to play.

Link's Awakening is back in all it's timeless glory. The main game hasn't aged a day and doesn't need any new gameplay experiences to convince anyone. It does profit from its quality of life changes, beautiful artstyle and memorable soundtrack.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is even more approachable than its predecessors. The game includes a lot of diverse activities, and because of that it never feels repetitive. All the game asks of you is a little bit of patience.
