State of Decay 2 is a disappointing game but not really a failure. While Undead Labs have managed to add so many elements that were missing in the original title, they sadly failed to fix the same bugs that kind of plagued the first game. Good intention, but bad execution, yet I'm sure some hardcore sandbox and survival management players will enjoy it.
Detroit: Become Human is another masterpiece from Quantic Dream which will make us morally think about what the near future holds for humanity. There are so many references to our current present lifestyles pointed out, as people are more and more dependent on smart devices, which will move you deeply.
Shape of the World is more of an interactive experience than a game, but that shouldn't push you away from trying it.
Yoku's Island Express is a must-have on the Nintendo Switch. It's a fun fusion between a pinball game and Metroidvania, with great lifespan and innovative gameplay mechanics. Get it now, you can thank us later!
Vampyr is a fun action RPG that dives deep into horror lore to put you in the shoes of a brooding newly minted vampire who explores the dismal streets of Victorian London. You can build up an impressive array of abilities throughout, and by the end, you’re one tough undead fellow.
Runner3 is an amazingly crafted arcade experience that’s perfect for short bursts of hair-pulling runny goodness. It sticks to the Runner formula and it doesn’t do that much to change things up, but it does push all the dials up to 11, and the result is a really layered arcade title.
Now available on the Nintendo Switch, The Banner Saga is the first part of a trilogy that lays the foundation for a great story, a complex turn-based tactical-RPG and a wealth of content. It's an excellent pick for fans of the genre who are not afraid of the slow pace of the game.
Dark Souls: Remastered is a reminder of how much the trilogy has grown over the course of 7 years. This version is a massive enhancement in terms of framerate, resolution, multiplayer, technical assets, and still as demanding as it was in 2011.
If this sequel improves on numerous points, The Fall Part 2: Unbound isn't technically better than the original game. However it doesn't prevent players to have some continuation from The Fall, and hopefully, we'll be getting a third chapter to close the loop soon.
Remastered for the Nintendo Switch, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 - Deluxe Edition is a fun way to rediscover a solid Musou on the go with enhanced features. While it's not as large in content as Hyrule Warriors or Dragon Quest Heroes, it's a great experience especially if you're a fan of the One Piece Universe.
Now available on the Nintendo Switch, Little Nightmares is heavily inspired by the work of Playdead, and while it's short even as a Complete Edition with all previously launched DLCs, it's a solid adventure with striking artistic direction and a dark story to tell.
Death Road to Canada manages to breathe life into the zombie genre and create a fun, engaging experience that’s perfect for the pick-up-and-play nature of the Nintendo Switch. It looks simple, but its pixelated veneer hides a surprisingly complex survival game that’ll grab you like a horde of zombies
Bombslinger offers a fun, engaging take on the Bomberman formula that turns it into a challenging dungeon crawler. It feels a bit familiar at times, but on the whole, it manages to stand up and do its own thing. A great addition to any Switch library
With Omensight, Spearhead Games has done a great job, clearly thanks to its learning and experiences from Stories: The Path of Destinies.
Even if it faithfully portrays the animated series' essence, Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time merge two different game genres without truly making a successful blend. The dungeon-crawling part poses no real challenge thanks to exploitable flaws, and the adventure part is rather simplistic. If you're not a fan of the franchise, I don't expect you will really like the game.
Destiny 2: Warmind was a chance to regain the trust of Destiny fans, sadly like the previous one is just subpar. Individually set at $20, the content is not worth the price tag, you will probably fall quickly in the same routine, and will be left with 1-2 month saying simply: now what? I'm extremely worried about the franchise now and really hope this is not the road Bungie is going to keep on going with.
Dragon's Crown Pro is a great opportunity for those that missed the original game on PlayStation 3 but is not enough to justify a purchase for returning players.
With Forgotton Anne, Danish-based ThroughLine Games have managed to take the player in the heart of a narrative adventure, with neat gameplay mechanics, but could be too easy for most playerss
Now available on the Nintendo Switch, The Fall is a neat tribute to old-fashioned point and click, but also an engaging narrative and deep adventure that should be worth your time.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire manages to tell an exciting tale in a totally new setting, and it takes some fun new chances with the fantasy genre. It learns many lessons from its predecessors, and it’s more accessible to casual fans, but this is still very much a cRPG, so expect to bust out your reading glasses.
