Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is an adventure game focused on supernatural mysteries. With a simple exploration system and a plot made up of easy-to-empathize personal dramas, the title is a good recommendation for fans of the genre, but leaves something to be desired in terms of user experience quality.

Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a title with an interesting plot and compelling puzzles. However, unfortunately, the Switch version ends up set back by the lacking brightness, resulting in many disappointing moments.

Though it brings a vast character customization, an entertaining story and the possibility to visit the same story from two different perspectives, Cross Tails doesn't manage to be a highlight in any of these aspects among RPGs, as other games in the genre managed to do everything this KEMCO title proposes better. Besides, the audiovisual presentation also leaves something to be desired despite running well on Switch. Nowadays, there are better RPG options in the market. It's not enough to show potential if it's constantly hindered by the grinding in the long run.

Radiant Tale is a really enticing fantasy visual novel that's worth playing. With an easily relatable character, charismatic characters and a good audiovisual direction overall, it's an spot-on recommendation within its genre.

Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE is a title "haunted" by a considerable legacy even before it was shaped in the development team head. Personally, I felt the final product was far less competent than said legacy but I can partly comprehend the creative challenges Spike Chunsoft underwent and if a new game showed up, I'd still have faith in this team that loves pink blood.

"How does Nintendo decide to release a sequel to 1-2-Switch and leave other beloved franchises behind?" asked some fans during the official announcement period for Everybody 1-2-Switch! I believe this is not the right question to ask. The first game, despite its stumbles, introduced many people to the Switch concept and is one of the console's best-selling titles. So, for me, the correct question is "How could this sequence not have been taken more care?" Make no mistake: the game has its high moments. Certain minigames are fun, their presentation is pleasant and the cell phone connection works surprisingly well. However, the bulk of the experience is marred by low longevity activities, tiresome competition modes, and lack of location and accessibility. This is one of those parties where you arrive excited, but end up returning home early.

My Lovely Wife is a type of game not so attractive at a first glance but with a well defined and executed concept. The really well written story of Jake and Luna revolves around love, passion and cunning.

Pikmin 2 is back, now on Switch, in a simple but honest edition. The port doesn't bring any significant new features, but it's an easy way to enjoy a classic game on a current console. Especially for those who were already big fans of the series or never played, this is a beautiful opportunity to explore this world of small creatures.

Pikmin 1 not only gave me an extremely enjoyable and fun experience, but also made me want to enjoy all of its sequels. With visuals that remain quite charming and, above all, with solid, functional and indescribably fun gameplay, this is a game that justifies its arrival on Switch and deserves to be checked out by any video game lover.

Burnhouse Lane does not present great challenges in terms of gameplay, and can be considered an easy game in terms of gameplay in general. However, the topics addressed are difficult to construct in dialogue and, at this point, there is no denying that the work done by the Michalski brothers is sufficiently competent. Unfortunately, technical issues end up affecting the experience, but if the player doesn't need to close the game, it's an easy recommendation for those looking for an excellent interactive story.

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 is a game that presents an intriguing premise but executes it poorly, to say the least. Though it has some good value that might please fans of simulation and RPG, the title has a lot of annoying bugs that significantly hinder the experience.

Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is an experimental visual novel with relevant social themes and an unorthodox concept of narrative navigation. Though there are many elements that deserved more polishment, I'd still say the sum of its parts leads to a positive result and it's worth diving into this story.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective remains a great adventure title that deserves attention thanks to its inventive way of dealing with a ghost's exploitability and agency. Couple that with the creator's well-written crazy twists and here's an unmissable game back on today's consoles.

Raiden III x Mikado Maniax brings back a Moss classic with various new music. It's worth a shot as a good example of its genre, and, even with the feeling something better than individual re-releases of this and Raiden IV could have been done, it's a title that offers exactly what it intends to and is quite fun.

Skautfold: Usurper is a reasonable metroidvania in its proposal and fulfills what is expected of a game of the genre. However, the various small issues stack up to keep the experience from standing out within a market that has much better games already available. At the moment, it is only recommended for those who are very fond of the style.

Even though it has some problems and limitations, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is an incredible and well-deserved rescue of one of the rarest farm simulation games. With the essence of the original product fully maintained, it is a game full of nostalgia and that will certainly please veterans of the GameCube and PS2 versions.

We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie makes Switch owners happy again, which, unlike other platforms, was lacking in other titles in the series. Its changes don't alter the practical gameplay precisely because there wasn't any need for it, and the truly new content, even if weak in quantity, compensates for the good level of challenge.

Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is a collection of three high-quality dungeon crawler-style RPGs that remain an immersive experience in a hostile and exciting world even years after their original release on DS. However, this is not the highlight of what the franchise has to offer and it is clear that the games had a difficult adaptation to the reality of a single screen.

It is curious that, in many moments, Nocturnal reminded me of the Prince of Persia franchise. In fact, the game has an essence that is worthy of this historic series, mainly due to its intense sword clashes. However, there is a notable and creative differential, which is the use of fire as a constant element in puzzles, duels and explorations. Despite the title having some problems, such as a poorly present story, performance errors and a short duration, Ardeshir's adventure presents good glimpses on the Switch. With the sword in hand, exploring the Isle of Nahran and scaring away the fog with firepower become extremely fun activities to carry out.
