Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is an interesting project that skillfully combines the charm of cartoon Nintendo exclusives with stern post-apocalypse western setting. The only problem is that each of the gameplay elements is clearly lacking depth, and sometimes game feels too simple.

Pode is a not a bad cooperative adventure game. It's nice to play it with a friend in front of one screen, or alone, solving several puzzles during a day. If you are a fan of the genre, then it's worth a try. If no, well, then play something different.

The concept of a world inhabited by robots looks attractive on paper, though in Apex Construct it is far from Horizon: Zero Dawn not only in terms of graphics, but also in terms of the story, characters and environment. This game reminded us about low-budget projects released 10 years ago.

Nintendo Labo is a truly unique entertainment for children, which teaches to think, develops fine motor skills, brings delight and emotions from the joint creation, coloring and use of cardboard models, console and games.

Octopath Traveler is an atmospheric game with unusual graphics, which suffers from a number of strange design and story solutions, as well as problems with interface and many minor flaws. There's also a lot of grinding, and that's may be a big dissapointment for many gamers. If you are not against grinding, try Octopath Traveler.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on a Nintendo Switch is a fascinating collection of nice puzzles with beautiful graphics, which lacks additional levels with bosses and a more interesting story. If you haven't played it on the WiiU, then it definitely worth trying.

A true masterpiece, near-perfect game. Fans of the genre will surely put it on a par with Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

The Lost Child is a classic-style turn-based role-playing game with a first-person view, which features an intriguing story, well-designed puzzles and lots of opportunities to improve your party. On the other hand, this game is made with a very low budget, and it is pretty evident. If you're not a fan of exploration in the countless labyrinths, there's a chance that you'll get bored pretty quickly.

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.

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.
