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.

One Escape is a fun and dynamic game. Its brief journey enchants for presenting a cool level design and three unique characters, which bring a diversity that prevents the campaign from becoming repetitive. Although it doesn't have depth, replay factor or other incentives, we have a charming and cool journey to live, even if it lasts a short time with its heightened simplicity.

Astalon: Tears of the Earth is a retro-style metroidvania that deserves to be played by any fan of the genre. In terms of quality, it doesn't disappoint in almost any aspect, featuring an excellent level design and a deep level of exploration along with its fantastic visual and sound presentation. The high difficulty and slow progression may turn some players off, and thebugs hamper the experience, but Astalon is still a standout title of very high quality on Switch.

World’s End Club tells an interesting story that is consistent with its creators and brings a beautiful story of friendship between a group of children. However, its platform gameplay is too weak, not adequately exploiting the possibilities offered with short and simple stages. Fans of Kodaka and Uchikoshi can have fun and overlook the issues, but both have worked on much better titles before.

Even though it's one of those cheaper eShop titles that, like many others, could simply be overlooked, 'Missing Features: 2D' manages to stand out. With an interesting idea and good pace that keeps the player's attention. There are a considerable amount of problems, though — but if you're curious enough about the premise, it's worth giving it a try for yourself.

DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is, above all, a by-product of the cartoon that bears the same name. If you or your child are super fans of the original material, it's not hard to really appreciate what's been done here. If that's not the case, there's no good reason for you to go out of your way and play the game, but playing it wouldn't be that bad either. Although the story is simple and the combat a bit truncated, the city's open-world exploration and the amount of additional content surprise and entertain enough. In general, the title ends midway, however, for a licensed game without many expectations, the result tends to be positive.

In short, due to its design coherence, importance in mechanics, high artistic personality and conceptual depth, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is, of course, a must-have game for experienced dungeon crawlers or fans of the Shin Megami Tensei series who haven't played it yet. Due to its high difficulty and strenuous pace, both for combat and exploration, the title is not recommended for first-timers in the series, much less for those who have not played any RPG of the type.

After playing Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, I understand why the fan community, though small in numbers, has held the franchise so high and has been craving a quality successor for years. At the same time, it's clear that neither game is perfect. I find flaws in each of them, especially in the performance of the last two in Switch, but even so the first two parts provided me with moments in which I had the great pleasure of enjoying the story of the plot and rooting for Ryu and the other protagonists.

Although it doesn't follow the same line as How to Get Away with Murder, Overboard! has a plot with several endings that vary according to the actions chosen during the campaign. With balanced humor and suspense, immersive soundtrack and unique artistic style, this adventure game challenges the player's logical thinking in every run. Will Veronica be able to get her late husband's money to live in freedom in New York?
