Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has potential, some good ideas and a certain unfulfilled ambition hidden behind some layers of performance problems and strange game design choices. The game is fun enough as a farm simulator and will likely please fans enough, but certain issues are glaring and hinder the fun. Story of Seasons became more daring, but at the same time it forgot some basic elements. If you are very curious, at least wait for the updates, which will certainly improve the experience as a whole.

Kaze and the Wild Masks features solid gameplay with easy-to-master controls, as well as praiseworthy sound and artistic work. The game can be deservedly placed among the best 2D platform games available in the Switch library and is further proof that the Brazilian game production market has more than enough level and talent to produce works capable of enchanting players worldwide.

Narita Boy is a remarkable adventure, mainly for its blessed and retro-futuristic graphic style, but Studio KOBA's lack of experience made the plot a little repetitive and tiring. Still, it's worth checking out Narita Boy, who should find his place among the successful independent games and receive a sequel in the years to come.

Sumatra: Fate of Yandi is a title that manages to please not only fans of adventure, puzzle and point and click games. The game is fun, pulsating and touching, presenting a plot full of mysteries and adventures. What makes Sumatra unique is how the mechanics and puzzles tied to narrative elements work together to tell a story of celebration to the family and real friendships. Mainly because it reminds us of the safest place of all that we always yearn to return: our home.

By being simple in many ways, such as aesthetics and gameplay, Cathedral plays it safe and focuses on offering expansive and varied content. In that sense, the title is successful, proving to be an intense and fun exploration adventure, although highly difficult. As much as you have faced similar games lately, a visit to this mysterious and robust world is recommended, even if it is far from introducing innovations to the metroidvania genre.

Loot Hero DX is a cool game if you have nothing to play and are just bored. It is a title that brings a feeling of worthlessness, as if everything you are doing is meaningless, and it does not provide greater incentives to stab enemies again with the spear.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time honors its own name, serving as the much-deserved sequel to the original trilogy. Naturally, it has flaws, but it gets it right by perfecting the gameplay and elements for which the series became known, such as linear stages and centralized platform challenges. In addition, it also brings hints of novelty in the form of Quantum Masks and extra characters. We don't know what the future holds for the series, but if Crash 4 is any sign, we can say that we are in good hands.

Mixing the hardcore platforming genre with golf, Golf Zero comes out with a point above par. Fast and diverse, the game stands out thanks to a good dose of challenge, precise gameplay and humor, since sacrificing your golfer to find the perfect curve is one of the practices necessary to progress in the game. But judging by the cover, many players will fail to enjoy a great game of the genre, as there are sure to be good hours of fun and challenge to complete all stages with the gold medal.

Two Point Hospital brings an efficient resource management and simulation experience to the consoles. With a lot of variety, humor and content, the title does what it proposes almost perfectly. On the Switch version , specifically, the amount of information on the screen hinders visibility in the portable mode. In addition, the little challenge in the early stages and the amount of tutorial information can bother more experienced players. Those who go through these first moments, however, will find not only a large amount and variety of content, but also challenge in the right measure.

Battle Brothers is a title worth having in your library. The lack of a learning curve and tutorial are issues that limit the game to a certain audience. Although there are some port problems, the experience is not affected. The simplicity of the battle system and the deep management mode add personality to the game and set the right tone for this strategic RPG. The title seems to have been developed so that the player will play it again many times, and believe me: you will want to play it many times.

Root Film is an excellent example of visual mystery novels. With an impeccably conducted storyline, its story has very interesting cases and the voices help to give the necessary drama to the events. Thanks to this, the small problems are practically irrelevant and anyone looking for a good game of the genre is likely to have guaranteed fun.

What pleased me most about Space Otter Charlie was its ability to be a platform title that seeks to reinvent itself. Zero-gravity mechanics, which sometimes refer to some Super Mario Galaxy worlds, but are redesigned in 2D, are well applied and offer good moments, especially in puzzles. Thus, the combination of talking animals in space, with humorous dialogues and exquisite gameplay, is a journey in the stars that enchants, even if everything ends up practically at the speed of light.

Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is a surprisingly fascinating game. Merging 3D and 2D gameplay, it offers a vast world for exploration and fascinating microcosms that allow the player to sift through the feelings and obsessions of New Terreland residents. Despite some small problems, it is an adventure game whose universe is thought-provoking and invites the player to dive into its history.

NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 offers a quality retro experience. The collection features an interesting selection of action and fighting adventures, and all titles together offer hours of fun. When it comes to features, there are basic options and a few extras, and it's a shame that some of the issues in the individual titles persist here. In the end, NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 is a great way to get to play some of the biggest highlights of the SNK portable console.

Overcoming obstacles to reach the truth is the main motto of Gnosia, which can be translated into the Latin expression “through the difficulties for the stars”. With quick matches that can be completed in 20 minutes or less, you can feel the tension of playing a multiplayer in single player mode. With a sci-fi ambience that abuses the theory of the multiverse, this indie is, above all, an intriguing continuous experience, sometimes a little repetitive, that promises to arrest the player from beginning to end. In addition to stimulating logical capacity, the title presents another point of view on parallel universes that can even put our own existence in check. Are loops a metaphor for life?

Despite the limitations and problems with level design, Birthday of Midnight is recommended for lovers of more casual action-puzzle games. On the Switch, however, the portable experience can be somewhat compromised, due to the lack of precision of the controls, but nothing that can stop progress, since it is not a very challenging game. However, several issues hinder the experience: repetitiveness, the lack of creativity in level design, the lack of use of the proposed mechanics, among other things, such as the low level of challenges and the very short campaign.

Capcom Arcade Stadium is a must-see collection for retro game lovers - especially shooters and beat 'em ups fans - and for video game enthusiasts. Many may not be entirely satisfied with the result of the Japanese company's work, but they will certainly only realize it after several coins spent on Capcom's emulated machines.

How To Take Off Your Mask Remastered is a ok game, but unfortunately it falls short as a visual novel, especially in a narrative extremely poor in content and, above all, incomplete - in the end, we have only a simple and predictable novel entitled to two equally banal endings, which can be achieved with very few hours of gameplay.
