SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is the Bikini Bottom gang's first original platform game in nearly eight years. So much time away from the genre could have thrown the franchise even deeper into the world of middling licensed games. Fortunately, this was not the path taken by the Purple Lamp studio. Although it has problems with the structure of its levels, the game has controls, challenges and gameplay progression that satisfy anyone looking for a fun game to play without compromise. Anyone who grew up with SpongeBob titles in the 2000s will feel right at home with this cosmic jolt.

Despite having some drawbacks, the game seduces with a well-crafted plot and a fantastic and immersive audiovisual presentation, making it an instant recommendation for fans of the adventure genre.

RE:CALL is a pleasant adventure game that plays with the concept of [altering] reality through memories. The experience is easily recommendable to those who like he genre, though the small issues stop the title from becoming something even more memorable to all sorts of players.

Burrow of the Fallen Bear - A Gay Furry Visual Novel tried to offer a romantic story within the furry theme. However, the end result is a very basic story that's totally left aside for the sake of the characters' erotic relationships. The presence of some dialogue options like puzzles don't recreate the concept of challenge and end up more frustrating than immersive. What keeps the game from failing is the soundtrack adequate to the game's most important scenes and its Brazilian Portuguese localization that allows certain dialogues to cause more impact.

This collection is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys comic science fiction and is a must for puzzle fans.

Though it has some very specific issues, Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition adds a quality short adventure to Switch's library, with a big highlight to it being a 100% Brazilian product. With interesting mechanics, big inspiration on classic 16-bit platformers and irreproachable audiovisual presentation, this one is a good choice for indie titles enthusiasts.

I admit that I didn't expect anything from Togges when I started playing it, but it didn't take long for me to become addicted to exploring every corner of this world created with such attention to detail. Giving a true lesson in level design and exploration, the adventure brings a refreshing perspective that made me rethink the 3D platformer genre as a whole.

Despite having well-adapted controls, well-modeled scenarios, an interesting plot and incredibly accurate sound effects, Jurassic World Aftermath Collection repeats its structure of hiding and solving repeated puzzles a lot, becoming, after a while, unfortunately, a very more tiring than fun.

With its minimalist proposal, Ord. manages to establish its existence in the Switch library as a relaxed, thought-provoking game and, above all, aimed at the unpretentious and casual pastime. Despite some small flaws, if tried in homeopathic doses, this textual adventure is more than recommended for those moments when we lack something to do.

Even with a repetitive progression, Sail Forth is a good choice for anyone who enjoys exploration games. This occurs insofar as navigating the Deep Blue is an extremely relaxing task, yielding incredible moments in the face of new ambiences and unique characters. By the way, feats that are amplified in the face of the grandeur of the seas of adventure and the grace of the wind that hits the face of the brave Captain Tuto.

Despite its narrative and audiovisual simplicity, as well as the little content, Melatonin has a well polished and consistent design. There are interesting psychological and social themes subtly brought up, comfortable audiovisual [elements] and a style that combines a dream ambientation and a creative gameplay that's at the same time intuitive and reasonably challenging when it focuses on the rhythmic aspect of the tracks more than their melodic parts. This title is recommended to people who like casual concepts in general, as well as rhythm game fans interested in unconventional mechanics.

McPixel 3 is a game that seems to give voice and presence to its creator's insanity. Because it is very focused on an overly snarky type of humor, it is not a type of game that is easily recommended for all players, but those who like humorous point-and-clicks will probably enjoy it a lot.

The word that defines Papetura for me is experience. The images are stunning, the story unfolds in an extremely inviting way, and knowing that so much of it is handcrafted from paper just made my jaw drop. Looking forward to the next work of art by Tomasz Ostafin and his studio Petums.

Even if inspired by classic franchises, Chained Echoes delivers what it proposes and even more: I'd dare say future games will be inspired by it. That's the case because its story and soundtrack wipe the floor with [what] many renowned games [have to offer], not to mention its multiple combat styles. The Overdrive and Overheat gauges are a smart choice to make battles dynamic and fun. Extra content also helps, being inserted in the right measure. Actually, is there anything in Chained Echoes that isn't perfect?

PetitFabrik's Amazonian creators did a good job with Kukoos: Lost Pets, delivering beautiful and pleasant visuals, charismatic characters and varied gameplay mechanics in an attractive 3D world. Even with small issues, it's a beautiful addition to the studio's portfolio, and it's worth checking this Brazilian title out.

Picross X: Picbits vs Uzboross brings with it a very different concept than what's usual in the genre, incorporating an arcade-like proposal based on high speed. It breaks up everything Picross usually offers and creates another kind of experience. For the players open to this quick thinking proposition, this is an essential puzzle experience and will be worth many hours of fun without a doubt.

Despite the impact not being as big as its predecessor, River City Girls 2 maintains the high quality as a beat 'em up. For all intents and purposes, this is a return that is exactly what was expected and fans of the previous game who wanted more time with Kyoko and Misako should be quite satisfied.

Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch has a good potential, as it offers customization and raising of a really wide variety of horses. Sadly, the ambition of fitting all these elements in a giant terrain brings with it many issues that end up shadowing the good points. For that reason, the result is we have an unappealing area to explore and one of the worst performances I've seen on Nintendo Switch, giving it a poor impression as if it were unfinished.

If you're longing for any other recent roguelike of your choice, I'd say that at the very least it's worth trying out Paper Cut Mansion and finding out how much the game's flaws weigh on your taste, as its qualities certainly set it apart.

Within what it sets out to offer, Swordship is an excellent action arcade option in the Switch library. In addition to being able to offer a no-compromise game that, without delay, is easy to pick up and put down, the adventure has qualities to spare in terms of intensity, style and personality. So, in command of the stylish ships, just accelerate over the water to guarantee moments of fun full of speed.
