Even with an interesting and promising premise, and immersive graphics, Apparition does not take advantage of the good idea under which the game appears to have been developed. The result is a disastrous execution that suffers from serious game design problems, confusing controls and a bad interface, which make the real horror the game itself.

Warriorb sins at the point that I consider most central in a video game, entertainment. The game is not only not fun, but also not pleasant to look at, hear or play. The feeling of spending my time in this world was like buying a game just for the cover, just to regret it bitterly after 10 minutes. Even so, amid the mistakes, stumbles and bumps of this unpleasant environment, something still remains in the memory. I believe the idea of a challenging platform game focused on more "realistic" ball physics is quite interesting, but the title has failed to make it work.

Touhou Spell Bubble is an excellent rhythm puzzle that combines two franchises from different genres in a unique way, in addition to having a vast cast of artists and voice actors. Even though it is a niche game and more meaningful only to Touhou fans, the spin-off is full of fun and fantastic replayability that can be extended with the local multiplayer. With music and settings for all tastes, it is an unusual mix that works well - and, of course, it can serve as a gateway to the fantastic universe created by ZUN.

Sniper Elite 4 is a title that will appeal to both casual players and fans of the genre, especially those who prefer stealth. The Switch port has some visual problems that take away some of the charm, but the gameplay experience is good. The game is not a Triple A, but it achieves the same quality as one.

Tamiku is the typical game that falls easily into oblivion as soon as the player gets tired of it, having completed it or not. Although the game is almost flawless, the gameplay is too modern to evoke a nostalgia feeling and its high difficulty is more frustrating that encouraging.

Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition is an thought-provoking mystery game. The tense atmosphere and the characters' complexity are some of its strengths, and the unique decisions system is experimental in a rich way for the genre, but avoids becoming inconvenient. Even the repetitive stretches of the story are not enough to weaken the work, which is an excellent addition to the Switch library.

With an interesting combination of turn-based battles and metroidvania, Monster Sanctuary is a lovely surprise that arrives in the final minutes of a chaotic year. Behind its apparent shyness, the game hosts striking encounters and more than a hundred charming little creatures. Although the context presented is already notoriously known, the process of capturing, training and battling is renewed properly on the Switch's screen, maintaining immensely pleasant the formula that involves monsters and trainers .

New story elements, thirteen new characters and a lot of additional aesthetic content allows the fun to be prolonged without harming the players of the original version. Anyway, if you're enthusiastic about the 90's fighting franchise, MK11 Ultimate is a must-have for your library.

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.
