Nintendo Blast

Destropolis entertains with stages brimming with projectiles and chaos. The action is frantic and exciting, thanks to lots of weapons, skills and intense challenge, especially in the company of friends. However, the absence of other modes, shallow mechanics and limited variety of situations makes the experience repetitive in a short time. In the end, the game is a good option for quick and uncompromised fun, but nothing more.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 repeats the formula with a package full of variety and fun for fans of Tetris, Puyo Puyo or both. The game is a definitive version of the crossover of these two universes — sadly, there's not relevant new content. In the end, it is an addictive dose highly recommended for, mainly, those who haven't played the first one.

Rich's adventure in Mycetopia is recommended for all players. With simple and accessible narrative and gameplay, without many flourishes, this timid metroidvania entertains in the right measure, even if it leaves something to be desired. However, it is the typical case of "take it or leave it": just as it attracts those looking for casual experiences, it can turn off enthusiasts of the metroidvania genre.

John Wick Hex dares to explore the film franchise in a genre completely different from the inspirational material. The mix of puzzle and strategy is immersive with concepts that mix tactical thinking and real time elements, and it's very exciting to face several enemies simultaneously - in these moments, we have the feeling of being inside one of the elaborate action scenes of the films. It is a pity that the limited variety of content and situations makes the experience repetitive, however it is a creative title.

Wildfire is a very interesting stealth and platform puzzle title. The game requires agility, planning and cunning in the right dose, and its rich mechanics in the use of the elements encourages the player to be creative and try out new solutions, which adds a great factor of replayability. Yes, there are some problems, such as very small graphics and some FPS drops; however, considering also the fun local multiplayer and the wide accessibility options, it is a more than recommended experience.

Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is a great platform title and an ode to the Castlevania franchise, bringing all the aspects that made the classic stand out in the industry. The difficulty may alienate some people, but the premise of being a reference to the genre's classics is well justified by the gameplay inspired by titles from the past.

I tried very hard to enjoy my time with Star Renegades on the Nintendo Switch, but the game itself kept me from moving forward steadily. It is a pity that such a different and well thought out title, with excellent dialogues, a deep and layered combat, great art and soundtrack is such a bad experience on our beloved hybrid console.

Little known by the gamer audience, Along the Edge is a game in the Graphic Novel format that follows the premise of a story that develops from the choices made by the player, influencing not only the story itself but the protagonist Daphné as well. The images function as a backdrop, and they were extremely well designed by the art direction, who knew how to combine the elements of the landscape. The experience is accompanied by a very strong soundtrack, directly impacting the player's emotions.

With challenging combat and witty history, Crown Trick impresses mainly for its diversity, being highly recommendable to all subjects. The journey lasts for hours, with an intriguing narrative and inventive combat mechanics, even combining several different elements. With that, a mature, consistent and very demanding game is developed, formed by curious unions.

Although it looks like an extremely simple title, GONNER 2 offers an intense action experience in conjunction with a good amount of content. The use of repetition as part of the gameplay forces players to give up the search for perfection and this, to some extent, reinforces the game's strengths. If you do not care too much about the process of dying continuously, the insistent return to the environments will always provide more charm than displeasure, mainly due to the novelty of the procedural phases. It's certainly not a title that appeals to everyone, but does it have to be? I think not. So, grab your head, bag and weapons, and go to the fight.

Overall, the Just Dance 2021 experience is fun, but at the same time quite limited and with few innovations. For the most fanatical ifans, the best option is to subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited and unlock the catalog with hundreds of songs - which is constantly updated, by the way - offered by the plan, instead of having only 40 playable choreographies.

Surely fans of animation will have some appreciation for Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia. The game is beautiful, has very vivid scenarios and portrait the monsters in epic proportions. However, the dull combat and repetitive structure can make all your excitement turn to regret for having started this adventure.

Even without trying to innovate, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory offers a solid experience for those who like rhythm games. It has the potential to act as a gateway to the genre, attracting the attention of an audience more accustomed to RPGs from the main series or fans of Disney characters. For those who have been with the franchise for a long time, this is an interesting way to revisit everything that has happened so far. The experience is enriched with a great playlist, the reunion with several remarkable characters, scenarios full of references and details, and a respectable amount of illustrations and cards to collect. All this content makes Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory a beautiful gift for all fans.

In general, RogueCube is an interesting experience, mainly because it is a production that admits the normality of its essence and recognizes its context. Remember: we are talking about a low-cost game about cubes, which features usual gameplay, common scenarios and no story. Even limited, like a cube, this shooter is a good option for uncompromised sessions.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is not exactly the kind of Zelda we're used to, but it is the game that all fans of the series needed, especially for filling gaps left by Breath of the Wild. In addition, it is easily one of the best titles available on the Nintendo Switch. The punctual performance problems that the game has do not overshadow its brilliance and, certainly, its success will leave a legacy for the main franchise.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a really unique game. The end result may not have reached a certain level of exceptional quality, but the attempt to do something new has certainly reached its goal. As much as the central mechanics are bound to become tiring, it manages to blend two very different genres with mastery, and this is something very worthy of respect. If you like farm simulators, action platforms or simply indies who are not afraid to invent their own formula, Sakuna is a good option.

YesterMorrow on the Switch demonstrates tremendous potential that is not performed with excellence. I will not say that I did not have fun playing the title, as it is interesting even with its problems. The balance between puzzles, jumps and battles is very pleasant, as are the challenges of harmonious difficulty. Almost everything is smart and engaging, with small touches that show personality, although it is seriously affected by poor execution. In short, we have a mature title, but unfortunately it suffers from its technical problems and bugs.

Prinny 1 • 2: Exploded and Reloaded is a bit frustrating, but at the same time it offers a good feeling of reward when you finally overcome the hard obstacles. Perhaps hardcore or nostalgic players will appreciate the high difficulty, as it is certainly not a game for beginners. In short, the bundle brings together two niche platformers that will only make sense to anyone who knows Disgaea - or perhaps, who knows, to people who have plenty of patience.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has features that make it unique, but the various elements of its narrative are dated and may not appeal to all players. Its arcade proposal matches very well with the portability of the Switch, along with that, the renewed graphics and motion controls make the port for the hybrid the ultimate experience, which makes the Nintendo Wii version obsolete.

The No More Heroes port for the Nintendo Switch is just that: a port. While some issues have been improved, such as resolution and FPS, the design of the original game remains largely intact, which, on the one hand, is great. The peculiar and humorous story, the instigating characters, the great fighting mechanics, the intense battles against assassins, all of this is present here. But this version also brings to 2020 design decisions that were not very successful in 2007. In the end, those who want to try a unique game or who are looking for a version faithful to the one released on the Wii will be delighted with the game.
