With enjoyable gameplay, fascinating aesthetics and energetic moments, The Company Man is an excellent recommendation for platform game fans. The title stands out by presenting a creative interpretation of the business theme, even though some problems, such as poorly distributed checkpoints, hinder the final result.

Presented as the new Apex of 2D action, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 is a really high quality work in the genre. Though its initially lower difficulty and infinite healing system may annoy a few veterans, it's a game that offers frantic action and allows any kind of player to enjoy its beautiful stages in their own way. It's an instant classic.

Reverie Knights Tactics is a great RPG, with a unique art style, captivating characters, a deep story and rich in details. Combat is challenging and tactically deep, and requires the player to think ahead when making decisions. Even those who don't enjoy a challenge will enjoy it playing in Story mode. It is a highly recommended game for tactical RPG enthusiasts, especially fans of Holy Avenger and the Tormenta universe.

RPGolf Legends is a fun game that combines traditional European sport, which sometimes seems unusual to Brazilians, with role-playing progression and real-time battles. With multiple qualities, it forms a title capable of bringing us closer to the elegance of golf, an activity that, contrary to its stereotypes, is far from being slow or boring - even more so when it is practiced in a wide, attractive and charming open world.

SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash is a captivating game with a simple system that can be a very good entry point into the TCG genre. Unfortunately, the emulation of this Neo Geo Pocket classic doesn't take into account the uniqueness of the original version and ends up undermining what could even have been the best re-release of the portable for the Switch.

Windjammers 2 is a throwback to the arcade era, when the fun came from the competition itself. With a faithful reproduction of the original game's systems, new gameplay elements that add an extra layer of strategy to disputes and a great focus on local or ranked confrontations over the internet, the game is recommended for those who like to feel the adrenaline of victory after a close match. However, the lack of more elaborate modes and a single player progression system means that the game doesn't have much offline content to enjoy. Of course, the stimulating gameplay and the challenges imposed by the CPUs make up a little for this shortcoming, but the feeling that more could have been done in this regard to make the game reach even greater potential is not unremarkable.

Even without hiding its minimalist aspects, Labyrinth Legends is a dungeon crawler that features a seductive gameplay format, capable of engaging with intense combat and addictive progression systems. A few presentation issues aside, especially the dialog boxes, this is an adventure that undeniably boasts rich and valuable features, just like those desired by Pathfinder warriors who travel to explore Katana's labyrinth.

Night Lights minimally delivers what it sets out to deliver, it has an interesting central idea and is consistent with it in audiovisual, as well as its level design is casual, accessible and intuitive. However, the game does not bring a captivating fictional world concept and/or plot to the proposal, the mechanics are creatively underused even considering its casual intent and its art is simple and generic. Still, the title is recommended to those who like puzzles with a cute design and sidescroller movement, but be aware that this is a very modest game in everything it does.

Picross S7 offers an addicting and content-rich experience for people who love logic puzzles. The main idea of Picross is explored through a varied selection of puzzles, with some modes that change the rules a little to bring more variety. The new touch controls make the matches really fast, though this option is a little imprecise in the larger puzzles. The lack of notable changes when compared to previous entries is a shame but its vast amount of content is enough to compensate the issue. Overall, Picross S7 is once again a solid entry in the series.

On one side, a visual novel structure capable of skillfully building a sentimental story. On another, action moments that are intense and deep, though its presentation can sometimes be unsightly. Eternal Radiance is, therefore, an elegant RPG that manages to deliver a fun and varied experience on Switch.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is the definitive proof of the consistency Spike Chunsoft has shown during the main trilogy of the franchise. The quality leap from Goodbye Despair isn't as high as the one there was in the first two entries — in fact, I felt GD was the best of the three —, but it's a conclusion that hangs onto the Danganronpa identity while having its own personality. The recurrent issues of the Switch port and small barriers of the pacing don't hold back the quality enough for this final chapter to be subpar to its predecessors. A strong metanarrative, with frequent references and fourth-wall breaking, can make Danganronpa's humor maybe a little too bold, but it's undeniably done a great job at ending Monokuma's foolishness — if it'll be the actual ending remains to be seen.

If I had to describe Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space in one short sentence, it would probably be “a timeless classic”. With high doses of humor that ranges from nonsense to the North American stand-up style, the game is deeply captivating and charismatic. With competent remastering and just a few minor issues, the Switch experience is well worth it.

Dungeon Munchies looks like a demo of itself or at least a hollow shell of a project that stopped trying before it started. Not all unique indies hit the mark at first but this title seems to get almost everything wrong. There are many similar games on the Nintendo Switch that are much more fun and interesting. Stay away and move on.

Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX successfully brings two classic games to today's platforms. Even more than twenty years after their original releases, the unique concept remains fun and interesting, and the implementation of the search for a music catalog ensures that part of the magic of generating new monsters through discs remains preserved, albeit partially.

By giving us the power to manage time to solve ingenious puzzles, Timelie manages to delight with creative and immersive gameplay. If you add that to the convenience of the Switch's portable mode features, we have a highly fun journey to experience, which can be easily recommended for fans of puzzles and strategy games as a whole.

Hashihime of the Old Book Town Append is a complex, immersive, bold and creative VN that weaves a unique and moving plot filled with unpredictable twists under the light of an stylish art with serious, lively and psychedelic traces, but one that isn't beyond reproach. Besides the budget limitations, which are clear in the audiovisual aspect, the latter routes don't hold the same energy of the first one. Sometimes the balance between reality and fantasy seems to move too much in favor of fantasy and arbitrary logic, and the last route, while having an interesting and radical side to it, is particularly problematic and controversial. Certainly, it's one of the best (if not the best) BL VNs ever made, at least when it comes to narrative design, making it highly recommended for a general public of good stories about sense of reality, mystery and romance but the player has to understand that they're diving into a practically kinetic experience. Besides that, the plot formula requires a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief to dive into this tragic, unpredictable and moving web of dreams that the young writer from a Jinbounchou library got tangled with.

Life is Strange: True Colors is a journey about emotions and relationships with unforgettable characters. It's great to follow the development of a complex and passionate protagonist, who gradually learns more about herself and uses a simple but at the same time powerful gift to do justice and help people. Despite the minor technical problems, it's a memorable adventure in which we learn that empathy is essential to bettering the world.

Reminiscence in the Night is the type of game that has different effects on each individual, depending on how much we are willing to emotionally invest in this introspective journey. The recommendation is for those who like to take time to themselves and lose themselves in thoughts and daydreams. If seen as an experimental project based on introspection and reflection, Reminiscence in the Night fulfills its role; as a game, it can be disappointing.

Far from being a perfect adventure, Baldo: The Guardian Owls still has its rhythmic and structural problems. However, its qualities are strong enough to make it stand out in Switch's indies library. With a huge world full of content, robust gameplay mechanics and an artistic style that causes fascination, the story of Guardian Owls presents itself as an interesting indication within the fantasy adventure genre with RPG aspects.

Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain manages to successfully bring the dormant franchise to the new generation. Its almost complete focus on multiplayer and the relatively low number of minigames preclude a more incisive recommendation, but players who are aware of what to expect will find here one of the best educational games in years. After all, who was it who said that training your own brain can't be fun?
