The third episode of The Council is one of the least compelling of the series so far. The puzzles are not logical and the amount of running around you have to do is quite tedious.

Just Cause 4 is the perfect example of what Just Cause is. The action is over-the-top and amazing, but the story is really thin and missions get repetitive. If you love the explosive gameplay however, you are set for a perfect vacation.

This third entry has more than 600 Yo-Kai and many things to do, but suffers due to passive fights. Because of that the game is very easy which makes it fun to play for the story. It's a shame the minigames take you out of the fun story though.

Asterix and Obelix XXL2 is a game that entertains for a little while. This is mainly because of the numerous winks to other games. The remaster doesn't impress on any area. The game has an old feel all over and the gameplay falls flat after a while.

All in all, Smash Ultimate is a true celebration of the most iconic games in history. With the magical music, the biggest roster of brawlers ever, and more modes than you could have dreamed of, it's time for Smash on the Switch. You do this on over a hundred different and balanced battlefields with up to eight players who all sit with a smile on their faces due to the addictive gameplay.

Civilization 6 is great thanks to the many rulers, it's addicting gameplay and because of how well it works on Switch. It's a shame the online multiplayer is missing. It shows it doesn't have everything the PC has, but the gameplay will keep you playing.

Bad Dream Fever isn't for everyone. Sometimes it's not clear what you're supposed to do which means your full attention is required. That isn't hard though, because the story is interesting and you can play through it in a small amount of time.

Fury's adventure doesn't come close to those of her brothers. The game is entertaining, but is feels linear. The fights are challenging but on the other hand the puzzles aren't. Still the game is a fun entry in the franchise, but not the best.

Castlevania Requiem combines two of the best games in the Castlevania series. However, it does just that. The bare-bones presentation and weird mistakes keep this from becoming a must own collection.

With a new mode and a new mechanic Battlefield V goes back to World War II. It looks better than ever in the diverse maps, but it's a shame the modes in multiplayer feel kind of similar. The War Stories are excellent though, just as the focus on squads.

Although there's fun to be had in Fallout 76, the game itself feels like it has an identity crisis. Besides that, it definitely feels like an unfinished game. Even for former Fallout standards it has an abundance of bugs.

Carnival Games brings a digital carnival to the consoles. With its minigames you can entertain brilliantly on a party. Unfortunately the lack of original games affect the replayability and there is simply too much to unlock. It just ruins the fun.

LEGO Harry Potter doesn't bring anything new to the LEGO-formula, but the Harry Potter world is still great. Characters feel unique even though casting spells isn't always fun. Thanks to the music and coop you'll forget about that quickly though.

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a great game for anyone who loves over-the-top arcade basketball games. It is great fun even though it's a grind without using microtransactions.

Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu is a fun new take on the classic Pokémon formula, that makes the deeper systems more accessible for newer players. Sadly the controls are obtuse and the game is a little on the easy side

The original three Spyro games have been completely remade and you can feel it when it comes to the controls and camera. Luckily it goes unnoticed more often than not as you’ll be smitten with a fairy-tale story and beautiful music.

Diablo 3 feels at home on the Nintendo Switch. With a constant 60 fps and the availability to play anywhere, it's a great addition to the family. The only sad part is that sSeasonal can't be played offline and the controls sometimes feel a bit clunky.

11-11: Memories Retold tells a beautiful story with multiple endings and is a must-play for anyone that loves a story-based game. The story might be a short one but it holds some amazing voice-acting. It's a shame the style doesn't quite work though.

It's plain and simple: Tetris Effect is the best Tetris-game ever. It looks gorgeous and VR is amazing. Just buy this game.

The first Spider-Man DLC is short, but a great deal of fun thanks to a great story. It feels like the start of the story though and is not stand-alone, except for the side-missions. Those offer a change of pace and make the package worth it in the end.
