Despite limitations in level design, some balancing issues, a narrative that is overly focused on a military plot, and a modest visual (and audio) revision of the remake, Front Mission 2: Remake is finally a gateway to this classic in the West and deserves the attention of fans of the series.

Sonic Superstars gave me a mix of sensations. A dose of frustration, it's true, with the problems I've highlighted so far, but also, happiness for the nostalgia it gave me. Happy to see that Arzest managed to get it right, especially when it comes to the identity of a 2D blue hedgehog game.

Compared to, for example, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, I still think it's not as good. Maybe I’m getting old and it’s just my nostalgia talking, but I think they could have explored a few more things. Still, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is definitely worth it! And you’ll have a lot of fun for a long time, hours of guaranteed fun. Highly recommended!

Borderlands 3 was announced by surprise on the Switch and quickly became one of the titles I most wanted to play on the platform. I had fun with the game, its additions to the gameplay are very good and extremely welcome. Although the story and humor are not very good, Borderlands 2 is still the best in this category, the new Vault Hunters are fun to control and especially to see their interactions in some of the quests. The skill trees, gameplay and weapon control are the best so far.

Company of Heroes Collection brings one of the best RTS options to the Nintendo Switch, and it's very well adapted for the platform. The title has some problems, such as cutscenes running at a few frames, the lack of touch control options – which only work in the menus – and some small limitations. However, the package brings an incredible game and two expansions full of content, with a well-adapted and addictive gameplay, which encourages the player to try hard and discover new ways to complete the objectives.

Honestly, Detective Pikachu Returns is a good game. I wouldn't say it's mediocre, much less bad; it's the work that represents the synthesis of "yeah, cool". I don't believe that an improvement in the technical aspect would make me change my opinion: the same text applied to a game with a AAA budget would have more support from the public, but at the of the day, a text is a text.

It's been a while since anything in the Fate/ series has gotten me as excited and curious to follow as Fate/Samurai Remnant. Despite reusing many narrative elements from past titles, the game has a unique charm that will captivate players who want a new experience in the franchise.

The game is an adventure that will keep you entertained for a few good hours, both because of its simple narrative but with captivating characters, and because it is extremely enjoyable to play. Who knows, maybe after Nayuta, I'll give Nihon Falcon's other titles a chance.

Citizen Sleeper is a project brimming with potential, but it would be extremely unfair to talk about a game I envisioned but that doesn't yet exist. The material here, however, is of high quality for the genre and deserves to be explored by those who haven't had the pleasure of experiencing it.

In conclusion, Disgaea 7 is a very strong recommendation for veteran fans. They'll find everything they expect and more, but they'll have to overcome the fact that sprite models have been left in the past. The game, however, softens the clumsy 3D models of its predecessor, so I believe it's just a matter of improvement. For newcomers, however, you will be encouraged to explore everything that brings the Disgaea series to life, but it is important to note that its narrative elements may not be to everyone's taste. Disgaea 7, like the rest of the franchise, is a unique and irreplicable SRPG experience.

Dokapon Kingdom: Connect is a very interesting experiment in its attempt to merge completely opposite genres, unfortunately it is a game that few will have the time and commitment necessary to really enjoy the title, as well as the patience for hours of turns focused on grinding. However, it is certainly an experiment that increased my desire to see this combination being approached again by more developers, in an attempt to refine it into something extremely unique and fun to propose playing with friends in casual hangouts, without all the filler here.

I will be completely direct now, because I want my headaches with this game to go away. If you are looking for an interesting story, this game is not for you, and if you want simulation with fluid and responsive gameplay, this game is not for you either.

With an addictive gameplay loop, I think Silent Hope is a harmless and perfect recommendation for everyone. And while it doesn't answer the age-old question about the nuances of communication, it at least raises interesting arguments for its meaning within its own medium.

The DLC manages to bring together interesting elements that make the experience fun. Carmine is definitely one of the highlights of the story and there is a lot to do and explore. Unfortunately, bugs and performance issues from the base game still persist here.

In conclusion, it is possibly Experience's best DRPG in terms of movement and customization, but it ends up sacrificing some aspects such as story, and in my opinion, it is a little difficult to recommend, especially with a somewhat bitter price.

Though it takes advantage of its predecessor's concept, Mugen Souls Z falls in the same traps that made it a weak, aesthetically dated game with a poorly organized gameplay and narrative structure. It can still be a curious experience for those who love fanservice and humor works, but it's a tough recommendation overall.

Gunbrella is definitely worth it. It's a great game, challenging at just the right point and always encourage you to try again when you lose. You might want to put it on easy mode; I went on normal, and I had some difficulty, with some frustrating deaths for no reason. On easy, it would be a slightly more peaceful experience. I didn't even try hard mode, because I know my limits, however, if having a horrible death is your thing, it's worth a try.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central is a good attempt to revive a beloved series, but it fails to do so by leaving aside its Latin roots to make room for pop songs that frankly just don't seem to belong in the game. It's a fun experience that will certainly take a few hours out of your life. Samba de Amigo's gameplay remains intact and shaking your Joy-Cons to the beat will rarely get boring, but the loss of the ambiance and music from previous titles is definitely a big bummer.

Blasphemous 2 enhances all the qualities of its predecessor with more exploration, new weapons and a deeper, more technical and choreographed combat. Although the balance is positive, the Penitent's journey, even with its unmistakable dark atmosphere, seemed more familiar to me than I would have liked, inheriting much from what we had already seen in 2019, when the original game was released.

Ultimately, Rune Factory 3 Special is a respectable remaster and, overall, an engaging experience as expected from a title in this series. Fans who started with Rune Factory 4 or 5 will not be disappointed, as it delivers exactly what one would expect from a “Rune Factory experience.” Those who are looking for a more affordable option will be able to enjoy it without any problems, as long as they understand that it is a remaster of a portable game, with a portable scope.
