Showcasing platform concepts, investigation missions and moments of stealth, The Library of Babel presents itself as an interesting action title, even with problems in the quality of life of the gameplay, such as when using the items, and in its presentation, which can be confusing due to the excess of information and the lack of translation into Portuguese. However, the development of the story pays off to the point of forming an excellent adventure full of enigmas, which becomes even cooler for anyone who is a fan of the literature of magical realism and Jorge Luis Borges. Thus, in the company of Ludovik, it is as if we were reading an unpublished short story by the Argentine author, which feeds our imagination with its surreal aesthetics and the occurrence of fantastic events.

Pupperazzi, while very simple, is a uniquely charming game and offers total freedom for the player to explore the locales and photograph the doggies at the player's pacing. Objectives help give a sense of progress to the adventure and, though its low-poly graphics may not please a lot of players, it has its charm. There are some performance issues when it comes to commands and menu navigation but for those who like casual titles — or just want an experience like titles such as Pokémon Snap —, Pupperazzi is a great pick.

Kraino Origins is a new platformer with retro premises that joins the Switch library. While its pixel art provides beautiful scenery, its challenges guarantee a very intense gameplay, making the adventure, even if short, have a charm as elegant as Kraino, who wears a stylish suit and a nice purple hat.

With simple gameplay and a humorous plot that also touches some serious themes, Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a great addition to the Switch library, giving the player moments of laugh and thoughtfulness in equal measures. Sadly, the lack of a Portuguese translation may be a barrier for some people to have access to this excellent product.

Don't let the lack of creativity in the main game mode fool you: Pirates Outlaws will get you addicted to its virtually infinite possible combinations of cards and character abilities. If roguelikes and deckbuilders are among your favorite genres, be prepared to keep doing run after run.

Process of Elimination is a curious work that explores an unusual format for criminal investigation. For those who love the genre and want to see this tactical element mix, it's an interesting game but the repetitive narrative hindered by multiple plot conveniences significantly weaken the experience, just as the fact the title could have explored its mechanics' possibilities further.

Road 96: Mile 0 tries to explore a dystopic ambient through the lens of two teenagers with their own convictions. The end result is an emotional journey but with a forced script and many quality of life issues that severely hinder the experience. Even so, to fans of adventure titles with emotional character focus, it's worth a recommendation.

GrimGrimoire OnceMore is a really interesting RTS with a remarkable, well-planned world. The high quality Vanillaware illustrations are only the cherry on top of a cake any strategy fan should give a try.

Ignoring the extremely problematic bugs and poor performance on Switch, Blade Assault shows that it has the potential to please players who enjoy frantic action, especially during the first sessions, where you still haven't exhausted all the possibilities that the title has to present you. Unfortunately, the lack of variety in settings and diverse content is too big a problem not to negatively interfere with a game that relies on the repetitive progression cycle of a roguelite. It's still perfectly possible to have fun with Blade Assault, but the chances of getting bored quickly are higher than ideal.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon might not be the kind of adventure Umbra Witch fans were hoping for, but the game manages to hold its own. With a unique charm that emulates a storybook, Cereza and Cheshire's quest through Avalon Forest is a good choice for anyone wanting to learn more about this iconic witch.

Unlike what Death wants to do to handle the issues in its company, Have a Nice Death isn't a revolution for the roguelike genre. However, this doesn't hinder the game's qualities and polishment, which is able to provide a fun adventure with a lot of strategic variety and intensity. As such, it's enough to walk through Death Inc.'s corridors and mow down enemies to live a sinister but adorable adventure.

Mato Anomalies biggest problem is not in its attempt to be a simplified Persona "clone" Persona, but in its performance problems — which, although not harmful to the gameplay itself, manage to test patience from time to time — and the excessive use of italics in texts. Even without much to offer for the genre, it is a charming and stylish RPG with a plot capable of instigating the player's curiosity from start to finish.

Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL is a rhythm game that may be appealing to veterans but its advantages aren't easily translated to newcomers in the genre. With a really weak story mode and lacking relevant tutorials, this is hard to recommend to people who don't appreciate the technical side of those games. For those who are already lovers of this game style, however, there's a ton of content and the interface adjustments may leave you with a really comfortable experience above average.

Meg’s Monster is a humble game that takes the appearance of an RPG as a mechanism to tell its story. Though it ends up underdeveloped in some aspects, it's an easy recommendation for players who get emotional over child tales with good moral lessons.

Norn9: Var Commons is, without a doubt, a visual novel recommended for people who love sci-fi stories; however, at the same time, it's enticing even for non-fans of the genre with its well written plot and unique, charismatic characters. With quality of life features that make reading a breeze, minigames that break up the text density, and a great audiovisual presentation, the only caveat is how it leaves the main character behind but, otherwise, we have an excellent otome game for Switch.

If you can manage not to get too frustrated with the gross bugs, Planet Cube: Edge is a very accurate and satisfying precision platformer. Its eight stages filled with collectibles yield good hours of high-level action, and if that's not enough, completing the campaign unlocks new difficulties.

The Smile Alchemist is a simple game about the creative process of alchemy as a business enterprise and an optimist young man trying to help people. It's a very pleasant casual experience for lovers of simulators who don't want anything too complicated.

With several points to consider, it's a fact that Digimon World: Next Order is not for everyone. For newcomers who like the first work in the series, this entry should certainly please, as most of the mechanics are more functional and rewarding, especially when it comes to digievolutions. Unfortunately, for those who have already had the opportunity to play Next Order before, there is no real reason to pay such a high price for this new edition, because apart from the Portuguese subtitles, there is no really significant improvement.
