Full of personality, with complex characters, deep plot and an extremely original game design, Wolfstride is an unforgettable title, which permeates moments of humor and drama with fun and surprisingly complex combat despite its apparent simplicity. Despite having some reservations about its rhythm and repetitive grinding, it's one of the most creative games I've ever had the opportunity to try.

Despite the technical errors, Card Shark manages to fulfill exactly what it set out to do in an exemplary way. It's a seductive cheating game with a unique classic atmosphere. Bearing in mind that this is an experience of performing tricks without worrying about the actual rules of the games themselves, it is definitely worth checking out.

Undoubtedly, Souldiers has many merits, especially in its plot detail, gameplay depth and charisma. However, it should be noted that some of its premises are difficult to take advantage of, largely due to a logic of exaggeration, which transforms simple stretches into long, punitive moments with rhythm problems. With corrections, I believe that one day Terragaya could show more promise for Switch players, especially those who are excited by the idea of exploring a game that does not hide its old-school traits.

In the end, They Always Run is a challenging, fun and especially electrifying title, with a lot of action in its combats and chase sequences. It merits saying the journey isn't infalible to errors and technical failures, with bugs and glitches happening sometimes and ruining the gameplay. But, overall, this doesn't mean the game doesn't offer happy moments while traversing the galaxy. After all, we have the company of Aiden, the raddest three-arms bounty hunter in the universe.

My time with Kao the Kangaroo left me filled with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I enjoyed its simple yet engaging challenges and its world-building, which recalls the cartoons we watched as children. However, on the other hand, I found so many technical flaws that all the satisfaction that the game brings in its essence gave way to frustration. Perhaps with a good update, the game will get the polish it deserves. Until then, it's like a Schrodinger Game: it's both good and bad.

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.

With a variety of character options that significantly change the gameplay and a clear care for the franchise, it's a game that's definitely recommendable to anyone looking for a good shoot ‘em up experience.

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.
