Despite some gameplay issues and lack of innovation compared to the title that preceded it , NEO: The World Ends with You it has fun and accessible battles, an excellent and diverse soundtrack, a plot full of character, an inviting ambiance for character development and, above all, a very coherent overall design around some of Shibuya's popular culture. As such, it's an easy recommendation for anyone who liked its predecessor or who enjoys more dynamic action JRPGs.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a game that manages to tackle the concept of period courts in a tightly-knit narrative that grabs attention. Not just for fans of the series, but also for gamers in general, it's a must-play compilation.

Musou fans will surely enjoy all the features Samurai Warriors 5 offers, and new players will have no problem following the story. The gameplay is very fluid, the audiovisual presentation is dazzling and the story doesn't leave any loose ends, besides being a treat for history lovers. Unfortunately, the negative points, especially the camera control, harm the gameplay. It's up to the player to decide whether or not it's worth venturing into the Sengoku period, especially because Samurai Warriors 5 doesn't present anything new compared to other musou games.

Songs for a Hero is much more than a simple musical game, showing itself as a robust international reference as a platformer and bringing the best of the genre with a Brazilian touch. Drinking from the same sources of sagas as Zelda, Donkey Kong Country and Shantae, the game entertains all the time, progresses naturally and consolidates itself as another excellent indie title in the Nintendo Switch library.

The Silver Case 2425 brings together two text-focused adventure games that experiment with the possibilities of the format. Unfortunately, The Silver Case is a complicated work and its text could be made clearer so that more people could enjoy it. However, it's still a worthwhile experience for anyone who enjoys narrative games.

Flatland Vol.2 brings enjoyable gameplay through exhilarating challenges. Even though it makes the player suffer, this happens within a limit that forces learning and helps in the process of acquiring techniques and resources to overcome challenges. The stages, however, in a short time become repetitive and with little replay factor. This ends up being reinforced in the complementary game modes, which are just variations of the standard experience. If repetition is not a problem, the look, music and level design of this title have everything to please even the most demanding player.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is, like the original, a good game and a must-have recommendation for fans of the series. It is not, however, a magnum opus, as there are defects and problems that can disturb the experience, even if some of them have been mitigated by remastering while others have been aggravated. As a remaster, this new version brings important improvements to the Skyloft adventure and certainly consolidates as the definitive version of the franchise's origin story. However, the focus of its production was certainly those who didn't play the original, as, for longtime gamers, there's not much new to be expected.

Boomerang X is like a puzzle game that must be played on the go, shooting a weapon that will return to you and evading enemies and thorns along the way. The campaign is short, but the feeling that there could be much more shows that the proposal to synthesize actions to the essentials was a success. It is stimulating both visually and frantically moving, and offers countless possibilities for each player to plan their own strategies during the stages. If you like to think fast and don't have labyrinthitis problems, this is certainly a title that can't go unnoticed.

Destroy All Humans! finds itself in a peculiar position on the spectrum of video game releases. A remake of a game from nearly three generations ago, it delivers exactly what it promises: an improved but faithful version of the original. The problem arises when you realize that this re-release is sometimes much more faithful than it should be.

Without a doubt, the new journey is a glorious and charismatic entry to the celebrated franchise. Despite the performance issues, I had a lot of fun with Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. With an expansive universe, this spin-off is an excellent RPG adventure for the Nintendo Switch, recommended for anyone who loves turn-based battles or anyone looking for a captivating plot.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is the remake of one (or two) complete experiences from past generations of video games, refining what had already worked very well and adding new modes that make the experience much more pleasurable and less tiring. Its controls are nimble; its maneuvers, diverse; and its rewards are fair. For those who can endure a bit the performance problems, somethin so important in fast-paced action games like this, Switch is an excellent choice, giving the opportunity to carry the world's skaters in your backpack.

Mario Golf: Super Rush isn't the best title in the franchise, let alone the best Mario sports game in Switch's library. For those who mainly expected just a fun game from the mustachioed universe, the plethora of specific terms, techniques and clubs is, at first, frightening. It really takes a lot of dedication and a willingness to engage more deeply to really master the controls and techniques. The new Speed Golf and Battle Golf modes, however, are great additions to the franchise, which really needs new ideas to stay relevant. In short, Camelot offers a competent party game, but it doesn't shine very bright at any time, with negative emphasis on Adventure Mode, a huge disappointment for its mediocre difficulty and soulless setting.

As a whole, Graviter is a great choice for puzzle fans. Rich in possibilities and with a very attractive aesthetic in the combination of backgrounds and effects, it is certainly a good experience for those who just want to spend quality time between an adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom or a walk around Hyrule. With fair challenges, we have a game that certainly calls attention to the utmost care, especially regarding the functional physics and satisfactory trajectories to watch when reaching the objective of each map.

Worms Rumble is credited with bringing a new perspective to this beloved franchise. However, the gains from the inclusion of multiplayer modes with real-time action neutralize the charms of Worms: we don't have the humor, brutal destruction and tension of turn-based combat titles. Despite this, it is a game made with quality and attention to detail. Fans of classic style will certainly have a harder time digesting the changes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try. After all, the constant updates and the inclusion of new modes show that Team17 is involved with the evolution and improvement of the title, which can become more and more polished and interesting.

Rip Them Off is first and foremost a difficult puzzle game with leanings to the tower defense genre. A healthy mix, which can also, however, break every nerve. The game is a successful satire of the society we are heading to become, but at the same time it also shows what important decisions I have to make as part of a profit-and-earning ecosystem.

Angels with Scaly Wings manages to combine very well a sci-fi narrative and dragon romance. Although some plot elements are less developed than they should be, it is a well-developed and captivating visual novel. Anyone interested in the premise is likely to have a great time.

With several qualities of life from current mobile games and facilitating mechanics, Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny retains the elements that made the franchise famous, but unfortunately suffers from serious performance issues arising from the graphics. Even with that big flaw, the title has everything to be one of the best games in the series so far, not because of its history (which was never Disgaea's strong point), but because it allows new players to feel comfortable in a strategy RPG famous for its absurd numbers and practically infinite grinding.

With beautiful ambiences and interesting challenges, Sun Wukong VS Robot is a good option for those who enjoy metroidvanias and don't want to spend a lot of money or time on long adventures. Showcasing the Monkey King in all its glory, the title manages to captivate and boasts feats that go far beyond its “mini” status, making for a vastly charming experience.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is, without a doubt, another welcome return from one of Sega's many forgotten franchises. With updated graphics, reworked music and new levels, the taste that the remake leaves is to have a beautiful and eye-catching look for a game that, in essence, is still very much stuck in the 80s. For those who like the classic, there is no reason not to recommend this adventure, as it is without a doubt the definitive new method of playing it. However, for those looking for a high quality platform game, we can't help but deny that there are better options on the market.
