Touken Ranbu Warriors is a Musou-style game that seeks to offer a good gateway to its genre while adapting elements of the swordboys' multimedia franchise. Despite being somewhat simple and easy, especially in its initial missions, the game is competent in offering varied action and an atmosphere that draws attention.

Tasomachi: Behind the Twilight, as an action platformer, leaves something to be desired. Had it been announced as an exploration simulator, or even as an “ongoing project”, the title even fulfills its role. In terms of visuals, music and gameplay, Yukumo's adventure shows great potential; on the other hand, these positives aren't enough to make Tasomachi escape the fog of oblivion.

Seven Pirates H is a simple and fun JRPG with unique mechanics, filled with absurd humor, with satisfying gameplay and an unabashed focus on fanservice as its selling point. On one side, this emphasis on eroticism can be uncomfortable for some people. On the other, it'll definitely please adults looking specifically for this feature. It isn't a game recommended for everyone, but it certainly has appeal for its target audience.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an action RPG that makes a good introduction to the Eiyuden universe. It's a vivid world that, at least in this prologue, is worth getting to know, despite the artificial handling of the narrative and gameplay progression being a point that devalues the game a little.

In 2013, The Stanley Parable was one of my obsessions. The game surprised me a lot with its storytelling and the gameplay remained in my mind for years. Today, in 2022, I believe the same will happen with The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. Though the impact was lesser than it was almost a decade ago, I noticed the text quality in the game and its design innovation did not lose [their brilliance] over time. As I walked again through these paths I had already gone through, The jokes still worked and the serious moments still hit me [like before]. The extra content, though not so incorporated into the original game's design, works as another title, with surprises in every one of its various minutes. Not knowing what will happen next time the game starts has never been so fun. In the end, it's worth playing Stanley's parable. Or to let yourself be played by it.

Given its structure, Kinduo is a game designed for two, but also extremely enjoyable for a single player. Even with few stages, both visual and logical variety pays off for those who like well-crafted puzzles, but that don't border on the impossible. In short, the adventure of Bolt and Rocky is a platformer that is worth exercising logic in a simple, effective and accessible way for all ages.

Although it's a game without much pretensions, Arise: A Simple Story - Definitive Edition could have had more refinement in the narrative construction, as well as more polish and development both from an artistic and gameplay point of view. However, the title by Piccolo Studio has good ideas in its level design, has some beautiful scenes and conveys a beautiful and simple message from its developers, and deserves to be appreciated by fans of platform art games, although they should try it without great expectations.

Bugsnax is no doubt a unique, charming game. Some people will definitely feel enchanted by the little creatures, who repeat their own names nonstop Pokémon-style, will be able to ignore a good portion of the repetition, unnecessary bureaucracy and technical issues. However, it's easier to bet on most people liking the good premise for a couple of hours before parting for a more interesting title on Switch.

Slipstream is a fun nostalgic racing game. Although its tracks present exaggerated curves with strange design, its uncompromising arcade gameplay and drift and vacuum mechanics provide a lot of fun in a retro style, fulfilling its proposal very well. It's an impressive game, considering it was made by practically a single person.

Captivating and creative, Nobody Saves the World is a release that's worth experimenting. Its main qualities are its intense gameplay and the possibilities of transformations and combinations for the protagonist. However, we could say that its aesthetic charm and humorous tone aren't far behind and shine through. Thus, becoming dear Nobody is a great pastime on the Switch, with moments that any fans of top-down adventures and RPGs shouldn't miss.

Watcher Chronicles is a title with solid gameplay, good variety of equipments and values the player's thinking and reflexes. However, it presents a strong feeling of a totally generic experience due to its ambientation and story being totally disposable. Despite that, if this factor does not bother you, this is a really competent 2D Soulslike.

Nintendo Switch Sports is already born as a Switch classic. Whether for its classic sports or its fun new features, the title enchants and promises even some free updates for the near future. With such a family-friendly game in a genre already so dominated by Nintendo, it's hard to understand how it appeared on the hybrid console just now, five years after its release. Now, at least, we'll be able to retire our Wii at family lunches.

The Last Friend is a combination of Tower Defense with Beat-Em-Up elements, where a human teams up with an army of dogs to save more of them. It's a thrilling adventure, with fast-paced gameplay and colorful visuals. It's a little too easy and limiting, despite the variety of dogs you'll encounter along the way. However, defeating enemies with the help of our best friend is rewarding.

I've never been much of a fan of science fiction, let alone real-time strategy games, but 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim impresses in every possible and imaginable way. The complex plot, fragmented into 13 parts, is extremely competent, even if it can sometimes seem repetitive. The complex yet didactic combat, combined with the incredible audiovisual presentation and the excellent performance on Switch, makes this title from Vanillaware one of the best in the hybrid console library.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed presents an original story truly interesting and worthy for the series, taking place between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Visiting known places such as Kashyyyk, the home planet of the Wookiees, or Felucia, overgrown by vegetation, continues to be a good thing even after 14 years. With a competent port, even without huge improvements, playing this game on Switch only shows how the original release was already great in 2008 and continues to be a must-play to this day despite showing its age.

Revita is a competent title, with pleasant audiovisual qualities and a huge potential for fans of roguelikes and/or twin stick shooters. Unfortunately, small problems in several aspects end up hindering its ability to become a truly unmissable title among several indies with similar proposals. Players willing to accept the somewhat truncated pacing of the gameplay, as well as combat not as refined as it could be, will probably be able to have a lot of fun in this roguelike with a good premise and an accessible difficulty level.
