If you liked the series as it was, rest assured: Scribblenauts Showdown is still fun. There are a few issues with the controls, but becoming a “party game” for all types of audiences, ages, and family members was a wise decision that greatly improved the brand’s accessibility.

Even though there are many people who don't like the original anime, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet does a good job of being a quality game that can please even those people. Beautiful graphics, good relationship systems, interesting combat. There are many good points here, compared to the few flaws. Overall, it's a good game based on a popular anime, so everyone wins.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights Of Britannia is a fun game, with its problems and good features, but it's only for fans. It's going to be hard to attract anyone outside the fandom with this title. Maybe when the anime is even better known. Still, for a first attempt, Bandai Namco did a good job.

Celeste is another small work that mixes fun and difficulty with a good dose of creativity. The game teaches you good lessons about what game design is, with refined controls, well-presented retro visuals, and very well-thought-out scenarios for the challenge that it is. One of the little secret gems available on consoles and PCs.

It's strange to note that some Switch releases have been "random", but it's heartwarming to see that games that we never dreamed would come out on the device are, in fact, being released. Payday 2 is a great example of this. The conversion is good, comes with relevant extras and works very well online. It's a great title for those who don't want to miss out on another "adult" game on Nintendo's console.

Even though it's not the prettiest, the Skyrim port for Switch is incredible and worth your investment. The game has all the downloadable content released in previous editions and promises almost endless playthroughs, given its dynamic quest system. It's true that we don't have mods or other content aimed at the PC version, but if you've never played Skyrim before, this is a great opportunity.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is really good. It's the only fighting game out there that can appeal to all types of audiences, even those who don't like fighting games or Dragon Ball – believe me. It's fast-paced, beautiful and easy to learn. If that wasn't enough, there are also many extras and fun modes. The only exception, perhaps, is the story mode, which is a bit boring and too tiring over time. Still, it's a great title and, from now on, a candidate for the best of the year.

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory does its homework for fans of the series. It has several references, familiar creatures and classic systems from the series. However, there is no sense of novelty or even appeal to attract a new audience. And without this new audience, the saga may end sooner than we expect.

Ultimately, Need for Speed Payback lacks charisma and identity. The game doesn't know what it wants to be and this is detrimental to the experience. It helps the player get familiar with the story, but it doesn't have any memorable characters. It leaves you with a huge map to explore, but it's full of grind and unfair progression. There are fun elements, like the sharp driving and the fun of completing the missions, but that's really all there is to it.

In terms of story, content and action, there’s not much to say – it’s the same DOOM we know and have come to love on other devices. The visuals aren’t as good as they used to be, but they’re competent and show what the Switch is capable of. The controls are awkward, but there’s an ideal setup for every player. Ultimately, it’s always good to have a game like this on such an unlikely console. Showing that there are no barriers for Nintendo’s new “little wonder”.

Ultimately, Sonic Forces is a game that may not be for you. Despite the poor gameplay, kids should enjoy it. In addition, the game has light themes and tells the story through animated scenes that are reminiscent of the Sonic Boom cartoon. The appeal here is strong, not to mention the creation of personalized heroes by the player. If you have kids around, get involved.

Just Dance is still a must-play. But if you want to have even more fun, go for the Switch edition. That's our tip for your end-of-year party!

Assassin’s Creed Origins is, above all, a rebirth. It fixes old flaws, updates the gameplay to modern standards, and delivers an engaging story that finally gives depth to the creation of the Assassin’s Creed. Despite the repetitive side missions and the mandatory level grind, it’s a game that will reward those willing to dive headfirst into its proposal. Origins is not only a new beginning in the franchise’s chronology, but also a redemption for Ubisoft — and a gift to fans who were waiting for something great.

If language isn't a barrier for you, LA Noire is always a great choice on any platform. But if you have the chance, play it on the Switch, to be amazed at every scene and with every new feature found in the gameplay. A quality conversion, even if the price is a little high, and that will give you many hours of gameplay.

With clear inspirations from iconic survival horror games, such as Resident Evil and Clock Tower, Creeping Terror is an attempt to pay homage and rescue the old model of the genre in a more gentle way for new players, but it ends up sabotaging what it sets out to do. While the game is entirely based on chases, it gives the player enough resources to avoid going through them without much pressure. This destroys any tension created, making each encounter with Shovel Man become more silly and irrelevant. The immersion of the scenarios, the story and its characters is lost amid the standardization of situations and the ease of getting out of them.

In the end, you're left with a very nice game, with little to do. Fun at times, Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn't quite what fans were expecting, so it might be best to wait for a sale to buy it. Unless, of course, you're a huge fan of the series – in which case, enjoy!

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a solid game with engaging gameplay and one of the most creative systems of the generation — the Nemesis System. It may not appeal to those looking for a true-to-Tolkien narrative experience, but it is highly recommended for those who want an action game with challenging combat, satisfying progression, and plenty of content to explore.

BAD APPLE WARS is an interesting title for those who own a PlayStation Vita and like visual novels, but nothing more than that. Captivating and simple, its visuals and different system try to compensate for the lack of commitment to the narrative and development, which is not always the case. It probably won't please the most conservative fans of visual novels, since the Vita's touch system is not always 100% efficient and this can cause some annoyances for certain players. However, if you like eccentric characters and mysterious plots, you will certainly enjoy the title.

Eliosi’s Hunt is proof that Brazilian game development has the potential to create creative and challenging experiences. Despite its technical and narrative flaws, it is an honest and fun title, especially considering its affordable price. It is worth checking out for fans of isometric action and for those who value the national indie scene.

Absolver is an ambitious and original proposition, which relies on a technical and customizable combat system to stand out. Despite its mechanical merits and stylized art direction, the game lacks charisma, engaging narrative, and a more lively world. For hardcore fans of martial arts and tactical combat, there is fun to be found. For the general public, however, Absolver may seem more like a promising idea than a memorable title.
