“Mega Dimension is nothing more than a small expansion of what can be found in the main adventure. If you, like me, thoroughly enjoyed your experience with Legends Z-A, you'll love being able to return to Lumiose and discover new mysteries. However, those expecting major changes and other new features will be disappointed to learn that the DLC doesn't introduce anything new that's particularly impactful.”

“Hitman: Absolution is a rather weak title for a series that values ​​creativity and freedom of expression for its players. Despite introducing good ideas, which were carried over to the World of Assassination trilogy and even ported to Blood Money – Reprisal, the experience itself leaves much to be desired for those seeking the Hitman formula.”

“HITMAN World of Assassination – Signature Edition is an excellent way to kick off the Switch 2's life cycle, offering console owners a fun stealth experience that continues to receive additional official and community challenges. Some performance issues, bugs, and the constant online requirement are downsides, but overall, the package's positives make it worthwhile.”

“Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a fun title that marked a unique period in the saga's history. Offering fun gameplay that mixes lightsaber combat with the use of the Force and an interesting story, the title is something that fans of the franchise will enjoy experiencing.”

“Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is a good experience that shows that Inti Creates has learned from the mistakes of its previous title and sought to develop its elements and create something that could stand on its own merits. The change to a Metroidvania style and excellent mix of movement abilities makes the game fun and enjoyable to play.”

“With a more personal touch, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is a strategy game that needs to be seen in a different way than others in the genre. Being a much slower experience and with multiple opportunities for those who like to create their own story, it is difficult to recommend the game to those looking for a more traditional strategy experience.”

“Fate/stay night REMASTERD finally allows fans to officially enjoy the first narrative in the Fate series. For those who have always been curious about reading the VN and finding out why many consider the anime to be a bad version of the history, well, here's the chance to discover. Just be prepared for some boring moments where there are long monologues or super detailed descriptions of some things that may not be so interesting or that have already been described minutes before.”

“As a fan of manager games and a fan of Formula 1, despite not watching racing in years, I was very excited about the release of this game. After finally playing it, I was disappointed with the overall experience, but at the same time, I didn't see myself putting it down or wanting to finish this review as quickly as possible. F1 Manager 24 is a title that I see myself coming back to play even more and I sincerely hope that Frontier continues to support it as there is potential for something good here.”

“I confess I was a little disappointed with the title. I was expecting something a little more similar to GRID Autosport, however, despite its problems and lack of better polish, Hot Lap Racing is a game with potential. With some updates adding extra content and fixing its optimization and AI issues, it could be a great option for those who enjoy motorsport and want to race some famous vehicles.”

“Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-sparked! it's a reminder of a different time for Konami. Three short challenging adventures, with a very different protagonist than expected and with gameplay that is not afraid to change and challenge players in new ways. For those who played these titles on their original platforms or like old games, Sparkster's adventures are a good purchase to have fun over a weekend.”

“SaGa Emerald Beyond is an interesting option for newcomers and veterans of the SaGa franchise or anyone who enjoys JRPGs and is looking for something new in the genre. Its highlight is definitely its gameplay, which offers a vast customization system and a lot of mechanics that interconnect to offer something that encourages the player's creativity and strategy in each duel.”

“THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII GLOBAL MATCH is one of the best chapters in the KOF series, finally available on Switch and bringing with it great netcode for online play. The new version features fighters released as DLCs, lots of content to unlock, a rich tutorial mode and much more. Fans of fighting games have an excellent title for their Nintendo Switch.”

“Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster may not be such a special game in the minds of Star Wars fans, but it is still a fun title in the saga. Kyle Katarn's story may no longer be canon, but it's still good enough to explore. This is one of the few games that doesn't have a lightsaber, but the gameplay can still be very fun and Nightdive's work in bringing the game to modern platforms is something to be praised.”

“For those who grew up in the 90s with a SNES and were able to play Top Racer, the Top Racer Collection is a great gift. Featuring three fun racing games, several resolution options, including the option to replicate CRT effects, as well as additional modes and splitscreen and online multiplayer, the collection will please fans of classic racing games.”

“With few 2D fighting games coming to the Nintendo Switch, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes fills a gap that has been missing not only on the platform. With the end of series like BlazBlue, titles that use sprites and have diverse mechanics are increasingly disappearing to make way for more simplified experiences.”

“The new version is still as fun as the original and it's great to have the opportunity to play this classic on the Switch. That said, I can't recommend picking up this game, at least not yet. The errors and bugs that are present here are something that take me by surprise, given that Feral's previous titles work perfectly.”

“Koumajou Remilia II: Stranger’s Requiem is a short, fun and challenging action game that will please those who enjoy a challenge. It doesn’t offer many extras, but the duels with the bosses encourage you to master Sakuya’s skills and improve your reflexes. There are some minor performance issues and the short length may be a nuisance for those who want something more robust.”

“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.”

“Of course, 30XX has its own charm. As mentioned before, the game's roguelike elements are very good and addictive. This is a game that encourages learning and avoiding certain vices that may exist in more experienced players of the genre. The randomness, whether in the choice of scenarios or which improvements will be available in the runs, encourages the player to play it many times in search of the challenge of finishing the game in the most different ways.”
