The Swords of Ditto is a charming, beautifully illustrated dungeon crawler with goofy but loveable characters and fun combat, but its roguelike design makes it feel grindy at times. It’s still enjoyable, but it certainly needs some tweaking to improve balance.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Storm Trilogy is a fine way to discover this franchise for the first time, or play again the original 3 remastered titles on the go, in one greatly priced package. While there's nothing new added, it's still a worthy purchase if you want a fun and easy to play a fighting game on the Nintendo Switch.
Even if it's developed by just a single person, A Robot Named Fight! is a great example of what passion and dedication in gaming design can accomplish. A must-have in the Metroidvania and Roguelite genre, especially if you want to play it on the go thanks to the Nintendo Switch.
Frostpunk is another great game from the talented over at 11 Bit Studio teams, which with only a few fixes and more content could become one of the best strategy and simulation game of the decade.
With this new God of War, Santa Monica Studios managed to perfectly refresh the franchise without losing its essence, making it the best entry ever made. While veterans might feel overwhelmed by all the changes, they will easily get used to it, and will play one of the top 5 best looking games on the console.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is the kind of sequel that ups the ante on its predecessor’s brutal monster hunting and creates a smooth, fluid multiplayer hack’n’slash. It can still adjust some balancing issues and maybe tweak the challenge, but it’s a great way to team up with some friends and unleash hell
The 25th Ward: The Silver Case shows exactly why Japanese studios are so good at crafting visual novels; they’re not afraid to take risks and confuse the audience in the interest of telling a unique story. Suda51 may be more well-known for other titles, but this ranks among his classics, and it’s a must-play for fans of visual novels.
Dead in Vinland is a great sequel to its predecessor and is one of the most successful indies we have seen this year. The game is always full of challenges and will satisfy all survivor genre fanatics. CCCP truly blew it out of the park with this one.
While the recipe is different with its noir-style comic storytelling, Metropolis: Lux Obscura is just a simple Match 3 that ends quite fast. For the price asked, I can't really recommend this game.
OCTAHEDRON is a treat for the eyes and the ears, and its vibrant rhythm guides you through its platforms.
Atelier Lydie & Suelle switch to a twin heroine concept is both funny and entertaining, but the game overall is technically outdated and doesn't add much in terms of gameplay from its predecessors.
If you hope of a thrilling adventure with intense battles against giants with EXTINCTION, then I hope you're ready for the disappointment. The race against the clock aspect of the game really kills all the interest and the pleasure to face the giants, and with really subpar graphics and not much to do, it's difficult to justify the price range.
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was a great game on the Game Boy, and its arrival now on the Nintendo Switch makes is worth a try for those of you that missed it.
A solid JRPG experience by FuRyu, The Alliance Alive is a reminder that the Nintendo 3DS still has lots to offer as a platform even after the Nintendo Switch launch. Although the game is very traditional in its mechanics, it's still fun to play with an efficient and rewarding progression system.
With an arcade-style gameplay and RPG elements, Penny-Punching Princess is quite an original title. While not as easy as it seems, the game is still a fair challenge, but might be a niche game that fans of the genre will appreciate.
The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 is great for the fans of the original, but we can't really recommend this to newcomers due to its repetitive gameplay and subpar graphics.
A compilation of everything that worked in the past with some amazing innovations, Far Cry 5 is easily the best entry in the entry since the third opus. Whether it is the settings, storyline, charismatic villains or supporting characters, this is by far one of Ubisoft's best work this year.
Now available on Nintendo Switch, Earthlock: Festival of Magic is neither a good nor a bad game, but still a rather solid effort from Snowcastle Games to create a unique JRPG influenced by the 1990s titles in the genre.
Rare banks heavily on the journey you'll experience with Sea of Thieves, yet sadly the destination is confusing or might be a letdown for others. At the current state, we cannot suggest Sea of Thieves as a game but it's solid on a technical level and can be fun with friends for a while. Let's hope Rare can upgrade the experience fast enough to keep the attention of the most loyal players.
Where the Water Tastes like Wine is an engrossing trip into 1920s America that brings its mystical - and sometimes dark - storybook setting alive. Its game mechanics don’t work as well, but it’s an amazing instance of storytelling in an interactive medium, and visual novel fans should pick it up
