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.

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.

Those who are willing to face and overcome this challenge will surely be awarded with a great mix of roguelike, escape room and deckbuilder. Besides that, Inscryption has several layers and secrets, managing to surprise at almost every moment.

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.
