Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a fun casual game with puzzle and RPG elemets, which has an understandable addictive gameplay with a deep mechanics. A ridiculous story eventually begins to annoy with its drawn-out dialogues about nothing, but you can just skip these scenes and enjoy the gameplay.

Mario Tennis Aces is great correction of mistakes after failed Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and better game than Mario Tennis Open. Despite the meager campaign, lack of mini-games and limited settings for matches, Mario Tennis is a great and complex multiplayer project that can deliver a lot of fun.

Salary Man Escape is not a bad puzzle game, which, with a good level of immersion, almost doesn't the charms of VR technology in the gameplay. This is one of those games that could work without VR. Unlike the recent Moss, which would lose most of the emotions and gameplay elements without VR.

You can play New Gundam Breaker only if you are a faithful fan of the series who loves plastic robots more than respects yourself.

The Council: Episode 2 - Hide and Seek shifts the focus from balanced gameplay of the first part to investigations and puzzles, and pushing political intrigues and communication with famous historical figures to the third place. Variability in the beginning of Hide and Seek impressed us, but ending was weaker than expected.

Darkest Dungeon is an exciting, atmospheric and a very hard game. Dark Souls fans should definitely try it.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus for Switch is another amazing port from Bethesda that manages to look pretty and works well on the Nintendo's portable console. As in the case with Doom, this is a great opportunity to play one of the best shooters anywhere, without being tied to the TV. If you prefer to play at home on a large 4K-display, it's better to buy a version for PC, PS4 PRO or Xbox One X.

ICEY is not the worst game with a good soundtrack, fast battles and odd storytelling, which suffers from monotony, stupid plot and many minor problems. If you're interested in the genre, then you can try it, but only at a reduced price.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a nice and varied addition with nice graphics, new features and good quests, but also with flaws, such as lack of optimization and simplified combat system.

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time looked interesting after the announcement, but turned out to be mediocre. It is unfortunate that Bandai Namco buried it in the forest of mistakes and shortcomings.

Yoku's Island Express is a beautiful adventure that uses the concept of Super Metroid, but adds unique and surprisingly appropriate integration of pinball to the mechanics. If you are a fan of metroidvania genre and have long wanted to try something unusual, then this project is a must-play for you.

We didn't find any hints about new strong LiS 2 female characters in The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Of course, it's unlikely that Chris will be the protagonist of the story, but if Life Is Strange 2 is too fixated on family problems, and the plot moves toward the team of superhero children with minimal interactivity, then LiS 2 definitely is not the game that we were waiting for.

Antigraviator is not a bad futuristic racing game with nice graphics, which suffers from stupid flaws and strange design elements. If developers will fix the problems with console versions release, and offer more content, you can safely add one point to the final score.

Destiny 2: Warmind is a standard expansion for the series with all its pros and cons. It doesn't try to fix the major franchise' problems, even despite numerous complaints from the fans. On the other hand, it features the same brilliantly working mechanics and cooperative fun.

Unravel Two is a worthy sequel that surpassed the first game with fun and dynamic cooperative mode, but has lost noticeably in terms of plot and few other aspects. Nice acrobatics, excellent puzzles, lots of bonuses for those who love serious challenges, and an excellent atmosphere make this project one of the best in the genre.

Onrush is a very fun and entertaining racing game for the fans of Motorstorm and Burnout, which could've been better if the developers added more real identity to the cars. A relatively small number of routes and a low difficulty also affects the excitement and final impression.

Agony is a sea of bugs and a complete disappointment in almost everything - from plot and levels structure to characters and controls.
Review in Russian |
One of the best musou games with unique characters, beautiful combo attacks and bright magical effects now available on Nintendo Switch. Port could've been better if developers made more efforts to optimize it specifically for the new console just like Fire Emblem Warriors.

Switch version of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy suffers from problems with anti-aliasing in portable mode, and we hope that developers gonna fix it soon. Still, it's a nice opportunity to join the fascinating series of games about adventures of golden-haired ninja.

Vampyr did not live up to our expectations and did not reach the level of Life is Strange. So, if If you were expecting another Dontnod masterpiece, you'll be disappointed. If you're interested in setting, then it's probably worth a try, but only at a discount price.
