Nintendo Blast's Reviews

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is one of the best RPGs currently available on the console. The technical aspect of the graphics in the portable mode is the only negative element I can think of, and it is far from being a problem that actively disrupts the game. I confess that I had a lot more fun than I expected exploring the gigantic world that it has to offer and I believe that any RPG fan who has not yet played it should take the opportunity to dive into this classic.

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.

10 / 10.0 - Bravely Default 2
Feb 25, 2021

Bravely Default II is one of the best RPGs available on the Switch, featuring a combination of engaging and well-conducted narrative with solid gameplay full of interesting mechanics. The experience is even superior to its predecessors, which were already high-quality works of the genre. Both those who took advantage of Bravely Default and Bravely Second and players who did not venture into the Luxendarc journey should give this masterpiece a chance.

The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition is an excellent visual novel that tells an engaging and exciting story. With a very well-built atmosphere thanks to its unique artistic style and its high-quality soundtrack, it is a masterpiece of the genre. As a compilation, the Switch edition is an excellent way to enjoy the game.

I've never been much of a fan of science fiction, let alone real-time strategy games, but 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim impresses in every possible and imaginable way. The complex plot, fragmented into 13 parts, is extremely competent, even if it can sometimes seem repetitive. The complex yet didactic combat, combined with the incredible audiovisual presentation and the excellent performance on Switch, makes this title from Vanillaware one of the best in the hybrid console library.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is an excellent beat 'em up, which goes straight to the point, focusing on combat and delivering precise gameplay. All this, combined with the charisma of the characters and the good humor present in each pixel, makes this title a gem. For a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, it becomes even more special with the dedication and presence of so many references to previous games.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is one of the highlights of the Switch's library of games, which continues to provide us with high-quality RPGs. Without a doubt, this is a milestone in the Xeno series, ending a cycle in Tetsuya Takahashi's career so he can take the next step with Monolith Soft. It is an essential game not only for those who have followed the works so far, but also for those who are interested in knowing what is best in the RPG genre.

Despite some very occasional problems in audiovisual and gameplay, most of the technical choices were well made for Tactics Ogre Reborn, keeping it without a doubt as one of the best, if not the best, tactical RPG. Considering the complexity of the gameplay, as well as the narrative sophistication, the coherence of the design and the polish of the game as a whole, this is obviously a must-have title for fans of the genre, and also highly recommended for those who appreciate serious and well-written stories in the context of war. However, in relation to newcomers to TRPG, although there is the Chariot Tarot, which makes the game a little less hostile, it clearly is not and does not intend to be very inviting for this audience.

10 / 10.0 - Chained Echoes
Jan 2, 2023

Even if inspired by classic franchises, Chained Echoes delivers what it proposes and even more: I'd dare say future games will be inspired by it. That's the case because its story and soundtrack wipe the floor with [what] many renowned games [have to offer], not to mention its multiple combat styles. The Overdrive and Overheat gauges are a smart choice to make battles dynamic and fun. Extra content also helps, being inserted in the right measure. Actually, is there anything in Chained Echoes that isn't perfect?

10 / 10.0 - Papetura
Jan 3, 2023

The word that defines Papetura for me is experience. The images are stunning, the story unfolds in an extremely inviting way, and knowing that so much of it is handcrafted from paper just made my jaw drop. Looking forward to the next work of art by Tomasz Ostafin and his studio Petums.

This collection is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys comic science fiction and is a must for puzzle fans.

With Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key, veterans enjoy a deserved and pleasurable conclusion to the series; the new adventurers, on the other hand, are not abandoned and receive a game that welcomes them with open arms. Finally, it is a title that stands out positively among RPGs in general, masterfully executing all the ideas it proposes to deliver in an impressive performance for the Switch.

10 / 10.0 - Pentiment
Mar 9, 2024

Pentiment is an extraordinary narrative adventure that puts us in the role of two complex protagonists in a context filled with believable characters. It's impossible to go through this journey and not empathize with at least some individuals, making each choice have weight not only for those fictional people but to the player themself. In sum, it's a marvelous experience that will never leave my mind.

Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is the total opposite of the games that inspire it. It's fun, it contains effort and, even with the homages, it manages to be its own product. Such a creative, imaginative and insane idea that it worked, with promise for more content in the future.

Catherine: Full Body is about the two extremes of adult life: commitment or freedom. The story may seem to have some holes or badly developed characters, but this is not a flaw, because the intention of the game is to become a metaphor using precisely this context of indecision and questioning that the protagonist lives. With beautiful visuals and renewed gameplay, the remastering can please both those who have tried the original title and those who will play it for the first time.

Bioshock: The Collection unites three great works from the entertainment industry, which influenced several other subsequent steampunk themed titles. There is no doubt, therefore, that this is an indispensable collection on the Switch for those who have never tried it before. There are some minor problems that could be fixed, yes, but nothing that undermines the excellent - and philosophical - gameplay.

9.5 / 10.0 - Hades
Sep 28, 2020

Hades is an action title that manages to combine different aspects in an exceptional and impressive roguelite adventure. Exploring the Underworld in intense combat is exciting, and each run offers a unique experience because of the different rooms and powers. An extensive variety of content makes the cycle of dying and starting over rewarding, and there are many options to customize the game, such as weapons and alternative skills. The narrative extends intelligently through the runs, and the universe is immersive, with stunning visuals, great voice acting and quality music. In the end, Hades is one of those addictive and difficult-to-drop titles - even though I have escaped several times, I'm still playing and getting surprised with the possibilities.

9.5 / 10.0 - Mad Rat Dead
Oct 28, 2020

Mad Rat Dead masterfully mixes platform and rhythm. The game stands out with its charming and vibrant artistic direction, especially in the way its soundtrack dictates the pace of gameplay, offering a remarkable experience. Even with a hard mode that ends up reducing one of the best qualities of the game, it is a title that is worth playing.

9.5 / 10.0 - Carto
Nov 2, 2020

Carto is creative and very well developed, with a consistency that can be experienced between five and eight hours. Get ready, then, to study and reconfigure maps like a real cartographer, in a fascinating world full of inventive puzzles and a rich adventure. Fitting the pieces that the game gives us is much more like a work of art than a simple map.

9.5 / 10.0 - Along The Edge
Nov 28, 2020

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.
