Castlevania Dominus Collection is an incredible collection with some of the best games in the franchise, offering many hours of exploration and good challenges. Adapting the screen format to make the most out of Switch's one screen and its touch capacity, it manages to offer an excellent way to play these games that players won't find fault in.

Just like Jemma's search for identity, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure managed to find a very good place among the genre titles. The way its story develops and the ability to solve more challenging puzzles mix together to create a beautiful adventure worth every challenge we face when exploring it.

Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, with a mystery much closer to our reality than the other two games in the series, surprises with its narrative quality. It is quite difficult to reach a concrete conclusion about this title, but I dare say that, in addition to being the best entry in the Famicom Detective Club series, it is, above all, a solid recommendation for fans of suspense stories. Don't be fooled by the text adventure label and gameplay that harks back to the last century: even with its small flaws, the case of the smiling man is promising from start to finish. And honestly speaking? I hope this is not the end of Famicom Detective Club, but if it is, we have here a golden ending.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is crucial proof of the global love that the franchise now receives. A duology that has received the most careful care, the most interesting extras and the possibility of yet another previously exclusive title conquering the world. Small mistakes do not take away from the legitimacy and quality that Edgeworth's cases have. It is a full plate for fans of Visual Novel and the series itself, officially bringing all the games in the saga of top-notch lawyers to the Switch (that is, almost all of them, if you consider a certain crossover with a gentleman in a top hat).

Shikon-X Astro Defense Fortress was one of the biggest surprises I had this year. I was interested only for its 90's anime aesthetics but it got me compelled with the potential its idea held. A simple game but made with lots of care and dedication, this is a good way to spend the time for those who want a quick, fun game.

Fate/Stay Night Remastered is an excellent way to finally know a classic of its genre that wasn't available officially outside Japan yet. With an excellent discussion about morality and a fascinating setting in Kinoko Nasu's works' shared universe, this work is still a great choice for visual novel fans.

WitchSpring R is a charming RPG that presents a compelling narrative and an extremely fun gameplay. Though the title is uncomplicated, its excellent combo of mechanics gives it depth and offers to the player a wide variety of possibilities.

Even with the frustrating cycle of losing and restarting, there's an enormous satisfaction in getting through that annoying part after learning [how to deal with it] that tough games can offer. If you manage to find someone else to play with, the experience is even more fun. It's not a history-making remake but it's inoffensive and can provide some moments of fun.

The Star Named EOS, and its unusual approach, introspective narrative and stunning audiovisual presentation, is an excellent choice for people who prefer short games to relax and think. The Switch version trips up on a few details and the experience can be severely compromised by the lack of hints for the puzzles but, as they say, "it's not the destination but the journey."

"The desire for [a new] Goemon is easily filled by BAKERU. It doesn't reach all the notes of the inspiring franchise, but it's an excellent pick. Small mistakes that can be easily fixed aren't a huge issue when the whole thing is worth it. It took a while but Bakeru came to the world, drumming and blasting through everything in his way."

Like an experimental recipe that combines different flavors, Magical Delicacy can cause different impressions depending on the player's taste. The good management system and great art direction are positive points, but the lack of guidance to navigate the map and an initially confusing system of combining ingredients may require a few pinches of patience.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles has fun combat and is remarkably faithful to the original material, offering an effective introduction to those who don't know the anime. Unfortunately, the game slips up considerably due to the shallowness of its mechanics and the constant repetition, resulting in an experience that doesn't sustain itself during the whole campaign.

The New Denpa Men is simple and fun, with accessible mechanics and a pleasant touch of humor. However, the lack of significant rewards for players that aren't willing to spend with the microtransactions hinders the journey's rhythm and generates considerable frustrations.

Elrentaros Wanderings is an action RPG that can be fun for more dedicated fans of the genre, but it proves to be repetitive and uninteresting overall. It lacks polish and care, and several systems end up being of little use and too simplified for the game to effectively stand out in a market full of high-level options.

Thank Goodness You’re Here! managed to make a typical British humor experience that's also a casual and relaxing game. It isn't only one of the best representations of comedy in videogames but also one of the most interesting games released this year.

Mixing up daily life, folklore and supernatural themes (and some more miserable ones due to the characters backgrounds), Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch delivers a narrative that manages to pique our curiosity. Even with some conveniences in the plot, the story as a whole is well developed, and much of it comes from the characters that are part of it. The audiovisual limitations, as well as a lack of polish to the English text localization, may displease some people but, sincerely, those who do not give a chance to this incredible story will be missing out because of an erroneous judgment.

Tomba! Special Edition is a great way to enjoy a classic and experimental game. It's a work of preservation of the original that adds a rich gallery of extras, but it's content to do the bare minimum to preserve it and doesn't care in any way about improving the game itself. For those who were already fans and want to get a taste of nostalgia, it's definitely worth it. Likewise, it's a golden opportunity for those who like retro experiences and have never tried it before. But, overall, it feels like the game deserved a better polish, especially considering how horrible the Portuguese version is and was simply preserved as it was.
