Clock Tower: Rewind brings back a very important classic in the survival horror genre and adds interesting resources that enrich the general experience and the universe building. Despite the controls not being so intuitive, confusing the player sometimes, and the missed opportunity to include even more accessibility options, which would have made the game more inviting, this is a work worth checking out for any horror fan.

Wildermyth: Console Edition fails in its mission to properly bring the acclaimed indie RPG to the Nintendo Switch. Fans of tabletop RPGs and customizable narratives will still find fun here but the rest of the public will do better in waiting to see if the absence of support to our idiom and the critical bugs will be fixed in future updates. A shame, but if the journey teaches us anything, it's that even the worst tragedies can lead to a beautiful story in the end. I sincerely hope that's the case [for this game].

Super Mario Party Jamboree exceeds all expectations and delivers a title worthy of being considered the best Mario Party ever made. With over 100 minigames, several online and offline options, and several modes for one or more players, it's hard to find a reason not to join this party that proves that the Switch still has plenty of fuel to burn and plenty of fun to offer, even after being on the market for so long.

SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky stands as the first coming of the Memories Off franchise to the west, but, unfortunately, it leaves something to be desired in a crucial aspect: the English localization, which severely compromises the enjoyment and understanding of the story. Maybe it's not the best way to promote this brand-new content on this side of the globe, but the product is a great recommendation for those who love a more mundane, believable and down-to-earth narrative.

With a variety of unique characters and robust unlockable system, OBAKEIDORO! turns the classic "cops and robbers" into an extremely fun multiplayer experience. It's a real shame that the title doesn't have many active players, making it necessary to be lucky to get a full room.

F-Zero 99 is proof that Nintendo can still innovate with its classic franchises, with a beautiful nostalgia hit in its classic soundtrack and the visuals that simulate the original game's Mode7, offering a [...] thrilling experience that respects the legacy of the series and at the same time brings something completely new to the table.

For those who love indies filled with good ideas, Eternights brings established formulas from various notable titles to tell a story about the end of the world with teenagers that only wanted to live their lives. There's definitely room for various improvements but this action RPG is one of the best picks for those who want a well established plot and an almost exclusive focus on character development.

Card-en-Ciel is an excellent representative of deckbuilders with roguelite elements, though it could have offered more diverse areas and has an entry barrier in the [poor] explanation of some mechanics. The result is addicting, with various synergy choices that are well conceived and interesting to explore.

Blazing Strike is a fighting game with the potential to be better than its presentation. Hidden by its various limitations are a truly fun combat, varied and charming characters and a compelling ambiance[, all of] which deserve to shine more than they currently do.

Despite not reaching the high points of some of its predecessors, Ys X: Nordics is yet another thrilling action RPG that's consistent with the franchise's quality. Hopefully, the next Adol games will manage to make the most out of what was developed here and bring even more enticing journeys.

Neva is a magnificent action adventure, a true work of art. It masterfully combines contemplation and action, delivering an artistic composition and immersive and exciting narrative. Alba and Neva’s journey is captivating from start to finish, creating a special bond between the player and the characters. While certain themes may resonate more with some people than others, the reflection on the cycles of life and time is universal. Neva is stunning, beautiful, poetic and devastating.

Simple at its surface, complex in execution, Refind Self: The Personality Test Game is an experience that manages to explain how our decisions in many situations mold us as people. It's not a 100% accurate personality test, obviously, but it definitely helps clear many doubts we have about ourselves.

Following the franchise's pattern, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream has flaws in some aspects that limit its quality and longevity, leaving the ground prepared for updates and DLCs that will certainly appear. However, although I don't consider it the best in the series, this game certainly offers the best online system and the greatest diversity of gameplay among the available characters.

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles dares to replace traditional cards with dice, but it validates this creative decision by delivering a fun and engaging adventure that is perfectly adapted to the Switch. Although its natural complexity makes this game more suitable for those who already have experience with the genre, this is a title that is recommended to all those who are not afraid of challenges and, on the contrary, enjoy using strategy to reverse unfavorable conditions with the tools at their disposal.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom encourages creativity and freedom of choice within the more limited scope of 2D games, with Zelda taking the lead role. It's a great fusion of what works and what's new, highlighting the franchise's ability to reinvent itself without ignoring its past. Here's to praying for the future that this will be just the first of many adventures in which the princess is the titular and true owner of the legend.

The Last Shot is a simple puzzle that doesn't dare revolutionize like its anonymous hero, but it's a fun game to spend some hours. Its graphic beauty and quick entertainment are a good way to kill time. [It's] A little of a wasted opportunity to develop such an ample and interesting subgenre like dieselpunk but it offers a horrible world to live in but beautiful to think about.

RPG Maker WITH is a very limited version of a useful game making tool. Even though it manages to offer an intuitive experience on Switch, the limitations are too big to create something more original. It'd be better to invest in one of the PC editions if you want to really get into game development.

Betting on themes that go beyond traditional romance, 9 R.I.P. is yet another excellent pick for visual novel fans, especially for people who enjoy the otome demography. Even with a slightly more mature approach compared to other Otomate titles I've reviewed, the game is an invite to a narrative in which the supernatural and human emotions intertwine in an exceptionally well-made manner and without leaving loose ends.
