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.

Unusual Findings is a pleasant point-and-click with its main strength being its homage to the 80's. Though it falls for the most common issue of its genre, the meddling boys trio's investigation is an enjoyable journey worthy of playing.

Treasures is a great choice for series enthusiasts, as traveling across Draconia, riding a Great Sabrecat or flying an Elysium Bird in search of chests containing items capable of causing smiles and nostalgia, is one of the best experiences of the year. For those who are not familiar with the previous works, due to its simplicity and fun, Dragon Quest Treasures is a good gateway to discover this vast and incredible universe.

Cassiodora is not a great dish. If it doesn't stand out for its originality or for the accurate revision in subtitles and gameplay, the title brings together several well-known elements in mythology and in the shmup genre, and makes a good and fun bread and butter, which entertains a lot throughout its duration and still seeks to extend this meal with a good replay factor. It is worth a visit to the Brazilian restaurant at Void Studios.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is a much superior version, especially in audiovisual aspects, and its artistic and musical style is in tune with the Final Fantasy VII remake. On the other hand, the gameplay deserved a deeper overhaul, as well as more content. Despite having little appeal on its own, the game is recommended to fans of Final Fantasy VII, as it adds weight to its narrative experience.

Despite being far from being a flawless title, especially when it comes to graphic performance, easy challenges and low combat variety, Wavetale manages to easily captivate through its narrative. Alongside charming art direction and agile gameplay, these features make Sigrid's journey capable of offering a rich and fun experience on the open seas.

Samurai Maiden, in terms of content and action, is a competent hack 'n' slash, even more so for including different gameplay options thanks to Tsumugi's interaction with Iyo, Hagane and Komimi. In addition, the game has an interesting story, even if it relies on narrative clichés and fanservice. However, as much as the visual presentation is impeccable, even more so taking into account the dated hardware of the Switch, the game suffers from serious performance problems, making the hybrid console not the best option for Samurai Maiden.

There's no denying that Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered has beautiful illustrations and melodies. Furthermore, it is evident how complex, ingenious and interesting its gameplay is. This game is an absolute must for anyone who wants something flexible, experimental, and challenging in a JRPG, but it's not recommended for a beginner or any player who doesn't have a healthy dose of patience.

On one hand, Just Dance 2023 Edition is a promising game due to a good music selection, incremented menus, new online possibilities and other features. On the other, it leaves something to be desired due to the absence of modes, obligatory internet connection, interface errors, and few songs in its subsctiption system. In sum, this means the launch may please the fans but it still has to improve other aspects to be as big as its franchise should, having gained tradition especially in Nintendo consoles.

RWBY: Arrowfell is a passable action platformer, but there are many better options on the market. For those who are big fans of the franchise, perhaps the game is more engaging, but it is far from being a strong recommendation for the system.

Despite being the title with the most content and the one that I enjoyed the most in the entire series, unfortunately Pokémon Scarlet/Violet will always be remembered for its release full of bugs and with an unacceptable technical sloppiness for a game of such an important franchise. Without a doubt, it is a step forward in the series and the sense of discovery and fascination with a new world is something I haven't felt in years. I have no doubt that the foundation laid here will be the standard in future titles. However, as fun as it is, during gameplay you are constantly reminded that this game lacks care and was released earlier than it should have been.

In the company of sailors, players who take on the challenge of facing the seas of Ship of Fools will certainly have a great time, even with the scarce gameplay repertoire.

Front Mission remains a good game, but it has limitations especially in level design and narrative that put it below some of the tactical RPGs that came after it. That said, despite Forever Entertainment bringing little new content and a modest technical revision, Front Mission 1st: Remake is the best version of this game, with remastered music and significant improvements in graphics and quality of life. Considering it's a classic and also a really interesting TRPG in combat systems and some aspects of its plot and music, it's a title highly indicated to tactical RPG fans. For new players, however, there are more accessible and immersive options to recommend.

Rogue Legacy 2 manages to bring back everything that worked in the first game and improve in almost all aspects. consegue trazer tudo que funcionou no primeiro jogo e melhorar quase todos os aspectos. Making use of the excellent premise and gameplay of the classic title, this sequel doesn't try to reinvent the wheel but knows how to get the most out of the strengths it already had and add a lot of content on top. Switch's performance is impeccable and playing this excellent roguelike in portable mode anywhere is highly recommended.
