5.5 / 10.0 - Flip Wars
Aug 12, 2017

At launch, Flip Wars was introduced with a short quantity of gameplay modes, and we had the feeling that it wasn't worth its price. After the update, the developers added a few modes, maps, and characters, which contributed to make the game more enjoyable but despite that, the price seems too high compared to the amount of contents.

8 / 10.0 - Slime-san
Aug 11, 2017

Slime-san is an enjoyable platform for Nintendo Switch: it keeps you busy and entertained from the first second with its particular style and music. It also has loads of levels and customisations for you to enjoy.

7 / 10.0 - Sine Mora EX
Aug 7, 2017

Sine Mora EX is a revamped version of the original shoot 'em up developed by Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture, which debuts on current-gen consoles after its original launch on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Despite the good additions to the original formula, the game lacks of an online coop mode and its longevity is not enough if compared to similar and much modern games.

6 / 10.0 - Theseus
Aug 3, 2017

Theseus is a good experiment made by the folks at Forge Reply, that uses a third-person camera for the first time in a VR project. Despite some good idea and the fascinating Greek mythology, Theseus lacks of a good story and an appealing combat system that could add variety to a 1-hour long journey towards the end of the labyrinth.

Aug 1, 2017

GRIDD: Retroenhanced is an intense and fun arcade-style experience that anyone who loved the '80s cyberpunk genre should live by closing their eyes and letting the music guide them. An easy to learn, difficult to master shoot 'em up well orchestrated by the wise conductors of the Italian indie team Antab Studio, that engages players by leaving them the desire for yet another game.

6.5 / 10.0 - Patapon Remastered
Jul 31, 2017

Patapon is back with its original personality thanks to a new remastered edition ready to entertain the PS4 fan base, even if this porting lacks of the same compelling experience found in the PSP version.

8.7 / 10.0 - Splatoon 2
Jul 18, 2017

Splatoon 2 expands the original concept with a 5-hour brand new single-player campaign and lots of multiplayer modes - including the great Salmon Run - that allow users to enjoy a wide variety of activities. Definitely one of the best Switch exclusives so far, a game that you should not miss if you bought the new console from Nintendo.

Toby: The Secret Mine is a good platform that can be enjoyable by everyone, although its design could be improved with less "trial & error". As a result, the whole experience is a bit frustrating.

Jun 29, 2017

The N. Sane Trilogy marks the return of one the most-beloved icon from the PlayStation era: Crash Bandicoot is back with a huge remake created by the guys at Vicarious Visions, that keeps the gameplay untouched while offering an "insane" upgrade in both graphics and audio.

9 / 10.0 - Injustice 2
May 22, 2017

Whether you are or not a big fan of DC Comics hereos and villains, you should definitely give a chance to Injustice 2, which proves what a fighter game should offer in 2017. The story of Injustice 2 is really great and offers the chance to test most of the 29 characters available on day-one, while the Multiverse is a great addition that allows players to try new challenges everyday and drop sweet loot to custom their favorite characters. The online multiplayer is great and well-balanced, and the overall experience makes Injustice 2 one of the best fighting game ever made.

8 / 10.0 - Thumper
May 18, 2017

No matter which version of Thumper you will play, you're definitely gonna love it. The first game from Drool offers the classic "easy to learn, difficult to master" gameplay, which feels even better on Nintendo Switch. On the new Nintendo console, the game offers the chance to move between the great TV mode and the awesome Handheld mode in a blink, while the HD Rumble on both Joy-Cons gives you a great sensation. A must-buy for every Switch owner.

Fire Emblem Gaiden was the most atypical chapter in the series, containing elements which were later abandoned in the future iterations of the franchise. Thanks to its renewed graphics and some features that make its gameplay less cumbersome and inflexible, Shadows of Valentia could be considered the sum of what Fire Emblem saga has proposed so far.

8 / 10.0 - Outlast II
Apr 26, 2017

Outlast II is a huge step forward in both narration and graphics from Red Barrels' first survival horror experiment. Even if the first chapter had a greater balance between the different gameplay mechanics, its sequel offers one of the best overall experience for those loving horror games. Ready to feel the fear?

9.2 / 10.0 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Apr 24, 2017

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the most complete and rich version ever made by Nintendo for its racing game, thanks to the new Battle Mode and the graphic upgrade from the Wii U edition. The new characters and the endless online multiplayer capabilities make it a must-buy for any owner of the brand new Nintendo Switch console.

7.5 / 10.0 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 20, 2017

Yooka–Laylee is an unexpected gift from Playtonic Games that proves once again how the 3D platform genre can still entertain after almost 20 years. Despite being very funny and inspired, the game has several flaws, with the camera and the control mechanics being the biggest ones. Even if the gameplay is far from the perfection, if you loved old 3D platforms such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, you will definitely enjoy the new Yooka-Laylee from Playtonic, but if you're new to this genre you might experience a difficult-to-manage gameplay that is not good as most of the modern platforms available today.

Apr 5, 2017

The first rhythm game we ever had on a console is finally available on PS4 with a porting that, unfortunately, offers a simply upgrade of the graphics. No new modes or songs are available in this remastered edition, with almost no changes or improvements in comparison to the original gameplay that, today, seems to be not so compelling. Such a shame!

8 / 10.0 - Yo-Kai Watch 2
Apr 3, 2017

Welcome back, Yo-Kai! The brand new sequel does still offer a different experience for those loving Pokémon, but with a simpler gameplay and battle mode. Collecting all the monsters and exploring the entire world is anyway a big challenge that everyone who loved the first episode will definitely enjoy!

9 / 10.0 - Thimbleweed Park
Mar 30, 2017

Thimbleweed Park marks the return of the brilliant game designer Ron Gilbert, with a Kickstarter-funded ironic and compelling graphic adventure that every gamer who loved Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle will definitely enjoy.

8 / 10.0 - Everything
Mar 27, 2017

Everything is different from anything you've ever tried in your life. For this reason, it can split the community and open a debate about the meaning of the videogames, the philosophy behind them, and what can/should be told in a game. The new creation from game designer David OReilly is not suitable for everyone: only if you are willing to get involved, you will really have a chance to enjoy the concept behind it.

6.5 / 10.0 - Blaster Master Zero
Mar 17, 2017

Blaster Master Zero is an old-style shooter based on the NES classic, that debuts on Nintendo Switch with a bunch of new features and bosses. The game lacks of innovation and it's much similar to lots of other shooters from 30 years ago, which might be good for nostalgic players and 80's lovers, but not so much for those wanting to try some fresh experiences on Switch.
