Gamepare's Reviews
The result is a horror game with strong concepts but uneven execution. If you have a friend who’s willing to play along and stay focused, *Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch* offers a night unlike any other—one to tackle with patience and a good Wi-Fi connection.

A successful sequel that expands on the Heave Ho formula with more worlds, online play, and Switch 2-exclusive features (GameShare, CameraPlay), while remaining an experience designed solely for multiplayer.

Mario Kart World marks a clear change in the series. The tracks are no longer isolated, but part of an open world that can be explored. The regions are connected by routes, side missions, photo challenges, and collectibles. Each race is also an opportunity to explore, jump, climb, and find new paths. Driving is more technical. Vehicle control is precise, stunts are not just for show, and shortcuts require skill. New modes, such as Elimination Tour and Survival, offer variety and pace. The technical side is stable, with excellent animations, good sound, and support for up to 60 fps in different configurations. However, not everything is well balanced. Some classic modes are less polished, Battle is shallow, and competitive multiplayer suffers from general chaos. The handling of two-wheeled vehicles is also lacking: motorcycles do not stand out in terms of gameplay.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition marks the grand return of one of Nintendo’s most ambitious and underrated JRPGs. Monolith Soft brings to the Switch 2 a boundless alien open world, a deep combat system, and total freedom to explore the planet Mira aboard the Skells—now running at 60 fps with enhanced graphics in docked mode. The story takes a while to get going, and the learning curve is steep, but those patient enough to immerse themselves in the universe of Mira will find hundreds of hours of unforgettable adventure. The only sour note is the paid upgrade, which at launch disappointed many players with visual issues in handheld mode, forcing Nintendo to take the unusual step of offering refunds. An almost mandatory purchase for fans of the genre, pending a corrective patch.

Mai: Child of Ages is a testament to Chubby Pixel’s great ambition and passion. It’s an action-adventure game that successfully combines time-based puzzles with a gameplay concept and a story that explores identity and destiny. The shift between young Mai and adult Mai is the game’s real strength, resulting in truly well-crafted puzzles. Its greatest strengths are the originality of the time-based puzzles, the artistic atmosphere, and the touching storyline. Its main flaws are imprecise controls (especially in battle), a pace that can sometimes feel disjointed due to overly vast areas, and shallow combat. If you’re looking for a thought-provoking adventure that challenges you with excellent puzzles—and can overlook the inevitable technical imperfections resulting from the small team size—then this game is worth buying, especially if you love exploration and Zelda-like and Ghibli-style atmospheres.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is designed for a specific audience. First-time console buyers will find the experience clear, well-organized, and easy to follow. Those who are already familiar with the Nintendo ecosystem, on the other hand, are likely to be confronted with an unhelpful interactive showcase. It is not a real game, but neither is it a simple guide. It is something in between. A technical demonstration presented in style. Is it really useful? It depends on what you're looking for as soon as you turn on Switch 2. If you want to start off slowly, it may make sense. If, on the other hand, you're looking for something to actually play--better to go further.

An excellent platformer that balances challenge, visual beauty, and fun, with only a few minor flaws related to difficulty for beginners and a lack of innovation compared to the original.

Ironfall Invasion on Nintendo Switch is a title that manages to capture the charm of the past with updated graphics and modern controls. While not without its flaws, it remains an enjoyable experience for fans of arcade shooters and those looking for a lighthearted alternative to Gears of War.

As you can expect, the game features the same adventure as the original, let's see together if the developers have managed to do the work necessary to give a breath of fresh air to this not exactly young game. Overall, the work done by Microids in bringing this old title up to date is truly admirable.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, is not "simply" the sequel and the worthy heir to the Naughty Dog trilogy.

Boomerang Fu is a small game, it has no big claims and doesn't want to revolutionize anything, it just wants to color a few evenings and make people smile in company. It is a classic party game that you can dust off countless times and that lends itself to all types of players, making it an excellent companion for some fun in a group.

The strength of the annual MotoGP version is the renewed Career mode. Compared to previous editions, this year it is reinvented and improved, giving you the opportunity to create your own customized team from scratch, to be able to work alongside an official team.

A technically not perfect title that is still fun, especially if you play the role of the ultimate predator, if you are passionate about the franchise and if you play in good company. Who knows if with the next DLC, one of which expects to be able to use Arnold already, and with some future patches, the game cannot improve significantly.

In the face of a good longevity of the campaign, a nightmare atmosphere, a truly engaging sound sector and a more than satisfying flavor in old school sauce, Invader Studios with Daymare 1998 certainly succeeds in the objective of satisfactorily paying homage to the horror era. videogames of the late 90s.

Minimax Tinyverse is a real-time strategy (RTS) developed and published by Nimble Neuron and O’olBlue Inc., free to play and playable in cross platform on Steam and iOS and Android devices. It is an interesting hybrid between a strategic and a MOBA, in which we will face opponents in 1-on-1 challenges. What distinguishes it is the speed of the games and the particular and playful style with which it is characterized.

WWE 2K20 boasts as usual an exaggerated roster, and the ever-valid online community that generates alternative characters and costumes. A real strength, albeit limited, given that, at the moment, it is not possible to create customized belts (promised to arrive in a future update).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is not a remake, nor a reboot, nor a remastered. So what is it? Let's continue reading this review and we'll find out soon. Well, we could improperly call it a zero point. A new start, given that probably next year we will already have a CoD on PlayStation 5.
