SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered brings back a PlayStation classic in a satisfying way, although the game is not recommended for those who are not open to an RPG that is unorthodox in its structure. Fans of the franchise, however, will be able to enjoy another vibrant and unique experience within the genre, especially if they had not explored the game in its original version.

Pocket Bravery is a Brazilian fighting game of really high quality and a great option for those looking for an experience with the genre on Switch. With a ton of variety in the modes and robust learning systems, it's worth investing many hours in the game to try and master its fast combat.

Despite the dire issues with performance, I can't say I didn't have fun with On Your Tail. It's an adventure in which there's nitid care in the world and narrative building, be it for its comfortable ambiance, charismatic characters, pleasant and intuitive gameplay or cool music. I hope the development team can fix these small hindrances soon because, when the game is looking pretty, it's as if we were in a vacation trip or, when it comes to artists, an art retreat.

Even with its issues and hitches, don't get me wrong: Sorry, We're Closed is a great and very fun game. Especially with its relatively short campaign and multiple endings, with some backtracking that may annoy some players, but that works for the concept.

Whether due to its theme, which differs from traditional RPGs, embracing science fiction more than the fantasy genre, or due to its multiple and unique gameplay, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition is by far one of the most original and ambitious experiences in the genre to date.

DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou is a very interesting shoot’em up, but it's a shame the western Switch version doesn't include a[n English] translation. For those who aren't so experience in the genre, it ends up hard to recommend the title, but don't get it wrong: this is a great shoot'em up worth experiencing for those who understand Japanese or who are not intimidated by the impossibility to play it in a language they comprehend.

Even with the obvious hardware limitations, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land is extremely beautiful on the hybrid console and is worth checking out for those who are already familiar with the Atelier franchise or for those who, like me, are curious to get to know it. With a more interactive world, renewed combat and the addition of construction mechanics, it is an excellent entry in the series, without leaving aside its already well-known identity. The amount of content available is also impressive, guaranteeing several hours of gameplay and many different ways of approaching it for those who like to explore everything a title has to offer. If the next game can redeem Atelier Yumia's flaws, Gust's series will certainly have gained a new fan.

Overall, Ninja Five-O on Switch is a great re-release of a fun and uncomplicated Game Boy Advance game. With an easy-to-learn gameplay, but challenging enemies and creative stages, this game is great to play in small doses, making it perfect for quick leisure moments. Not counting the fact that it's absurdly short, the additional content implemented in this version perfectly preserves a rare and obscure Game Boy Advance game that would be easily forgotten with time.

Everhood 2 is a unique and addicting experience, combining rhythm, exploration and an incredibly bizarre universe. With an electrifying soundtrack, psychedelic visuals and intense battles, the game hooks the player from beginning to end. Despite the absence of Portuguese, the experience is accessible and recommended for anyone willing to embark in an uncommon and unforgettable journey.

Small issues don't diminish the big merit that Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars has by existing, reviving two PS1 era classics (with the second being considered the best JRPG in the console along with the timeless Final Fantasy VII) with excellent enhancements to improve the experience.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a solid homage to the initial years of the franchise, bringing a good mix of classic titles and some not so well known works. Though the absence of iconic games and multiplayer mode in almost all of its games limit the final quality of the product, this collection still has the potential to please diverse players and fans of the series.

Tomb Raider IV-V-VI Remastered is a bittersweet ending to the classic Lara Croft adventures, bringing a really good game, an average one and a mediocre one that's below the British muse's legacy. However, the historic value of their preservation is undeniable, recognizing the past issues to create a beautiful future, like the franchise would do during its renewal years later.

[...]the story in Ever 17 - The Out of Infinity still works — we can experience the mystery and emotional weight that permeates the attempts to escape a lethal sinking. However, for those, like me, who have had any contact with the original Ever17, there's a feeling that something essential has been dilluted. The remake definitely is an interesting experience but inevitably inferior to the classic that came before. It leaves only hope that Mages and Spike Chunsoft work together to bring the original version of one of the best sci-fi visual novels ever created.

Though Afterlove EP presents technical issues and some inconsistencies in its gameplay — with the former being easy to fix with a patch —, the overall result is extremely and beautifully positive. As a client of the agency I work at would say, this is a game with purpose and impact, able to touch us with what really matters, and, above all, make us think about our own actions.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II is a sequel that refines and expands the gameplay formula of the first game, offering a deep and highly customizable combat experience. However, despite having incredible characters and captivating interactions, the game errs significantly on its pacing, which ends up hindering a little its extremely high quality.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a sequel that manages to use the concept of the original SRPG from over two decades ago and explore it in depth. With complex mechanics and a combat full of options, this work is a great choice for fans of the genre despite some serious performance issues that don't let it shine more.

Guilty Gear -Strive- is already considered one of the best current-day fighters and its addition to Switch, even if late, is very welcome. It may be intimidating for newcomers due to its high expressiveness, and bother veterans due to some gameplay simplifications, but it's a must-play for fans of the genre.

Close to Nintendo's next generation, ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist debuts as one of Switch's best metroidvanias, expanding what could be seen on its predecessor and proving that 2025 isn't exactly lacking in surprises on the hybrid console library. Though not revolutionary, this is an excellent sequel that's worth checking by both those who are coming into the franchise now as well as its long-time fans. Recommended.

Reinforcing the feeling that, oftentimes, urban myths are born and perpetuate themselves through information sharing, Urban Myth Dissociation Center doesn't only offer a set of intriguing cases; it goes beyond and uses them as pieces of a bigger puzzle that calls into question the bases of our reality.
