a pet shop after dark is yet another narrative work from npckc now on Nintendo Switch with an interesting premise. Exploring its world and using meta elements to solve puzzles is fascinating, and it's even better to be able to do it in Portuguese. It's important, however, to keep in mind that it's a short work and some details aren't so developed even reaching the story's conclusion.

Revisiting The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with a visual refresh was every bit as special an experience as I had hoped—perhaps even a little bit more so. It’s truly striking to realize that everything I was playing has existed since 1998, yet it still managed to stir up so many emotions in me. It’s not a remake that tries to reinvent the wheel, but… between us? Ocarina of Time isn’t a game that needs that.

Anomalith is a great game—worthy of a green rating—that weaves its many influences into a competent and incredibly addictive third-person shooter.

Despite an incredible presentation and a genuinely different approach to a genre that is otherwise quite worn out in the market, Hello Kitty Party Land suffers from a lack of content. There are very few game boards and minigames, with the greatest variety found in the customization options.

Every so often, a game emerges within the indie scene that completely shatters all expectations for its particular niche. Hollow Knight, for instance, arrived and broke through every ceiling established by its predecessors—long after the genre had all but vanished from the realm of big-budget gaming. I don’t believe Queen’s Domain will necessarily break out of its niche entirely, but it nonetheless represents a significant leap forward for the space it occupies.

After more than a decade, the return of Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms has been handled very well. Despite visual limitations and minor performance issues, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 brings one of the best experiences in the genre to the Nintendo Switch 2, featuring an addictive multiplayer mode that fills a niche rarely seen on the platform. There is still room for improvement, but this initial step shows that Activision is on the right track for future releases.

All in all, I walk away from the Shadow of the Tomb Raider experience without a bitter taste in my mouth. While this trilogy didn’t leave a profound mark on me, it succeeded in its goal of providing entertainment whenever I had the controller in my hands—staying true to its simple premise, without any pretense of creating something revolutionary.

Stellar Blade is everything it appears to be: an apocalyptic story with demanding combat that includes a bit of fanservice, though it doesn’t rely on that at every turn.

It isn’t a perfect game that will please everyone, but it’s easy to see why it has won over so many fans of this universe: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee is the kind of game that captures the essence of an established franchise exceptionally well—and sometimes, that’s all we need to have a good time.

My Lovey-Dovey Demon is a comedy and straight romance kinetic novel with a male protagonist that manages to show well ebi-hime's writing abilities. Despite being a relatively cliché narrative style, the plot's details are well thought-out and the charaacters have interesting nuances that go beyond their basic charisma. There are a few points that could have been better, but the result is competent and fun to experience.

It’s great to see so many ports of major games arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2, but I feel like the floodgates opened a bit too soon. The first few ports I tested on the console were flawless, but I’ve increasingly noticed releases that feel rushed and lack polish. It’s a shame—I was genuinely enjoying the title and plan to return to it once future updates arrive—but I simply cannot recommend a poor version of a good game.

Tales of Eternia Remastered is yet another fantastic remastering effort within the Tales of series. By bringing one of the franchise’s most significant titles to modern platforms, Eternia serves as a prime example of what made the Tales of series so beloved by JRPG fans. Although its age brings with it a few minor issues, the game’s unique charm offers a taste of an era when the genre was at its peak—proving to be a breath of fresh air in a modern landscape often filled with repetitive experiences that are increasingly limited in scope.

You might think that picking up Nintendo Switch Sports Resorts won’t make much of a difference—especially if your favorite sport is already featured in the previous version—but you couldn’t be more wrong. The gameplay has been significantly refined, representing a massive leap forward in terms of both hardware performance and graphical polish. The new activities, which utilize the Joy-Con controllers in inventive ways, are a highlight all their own; while they may not strictly qualify as "sports," they offer delightful experiences—such as hunting for collectibles across a stunning, immersive landscape that you’ll wish you could visit in the real world.

Titanium Court is a unique experience that manages to play with its genres as an eccentric way to tell its story. It's the kind of experimental game that makes going out of your comfort zone be a pleasure and worth every minute invested.

I have no negative criticisms regarding the game. Any frustrating or questionable aspects pass so quickly that they become irrelevant in hindsight—especially given such a strong story for an indie horror title. However, because this is a significant critique, the Switch version of Mouthwashing misses out on what would have been a perfect score.

If you’ve been looking for a title to fill those cold, dark Halloween nights—without necessarily having to revisit the good old classics—Tormented Souls 2 should satisfy your craving. It is a game crafted for a specific audience, fully grasping the structures and elements that make survival horror titles—with their tank controls and fixed camera angles—so special, and executing them in a way that is sure to delight fans of spine-chilling experiences.

To me, otome fandisks are always hit or miss. Either the game doesn't have much content to enjoy or it's a full package. And I can say 9 R.I.P. sequel is the latter. The stories may be a little predictable, and even a little too short, but I still recommend the game.
