“Gal Guardians: Demon Purge is a spin-off of an ecchi franchise and its final quality clearly demonstrates this. When compared to other 2D games from Inti Creates, such as the Azure Strike Gunvolt series, the drop in quality is noticeable. Despite having good gameplay, the combination of its visual elements, sound and design choices end up ruining what could be a good experience.”

“As a whole, River City Girls 2 is a great choice for beat 'em up fans. Featuring a lengthy main story, incredibly fun gameplay, multiplayer for up to 4 players, and a cool presentation, the game ends the year with a bang. Many new features make it a far superior sequel to the 2019 title. Side quests will help extend your time even further, and New Game Plus offers incentives to take advantage of, such as extra helpers straight from one of Arc System Works' most famous fighting series.”

“Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony is an interesting game that reminds us of a series that many people want to see back. Despite being short and lacking in extra content, the game is still fun and the mix of 2D platforming elements with bullet hell offers a challenge that will please those who like to improve their skills.”

“With a development team known for delivering great experiences, Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is another great game produced by Inti Creates. Featuring a cool story, good character interactions, and fun, easy-to-master gameplay, the game is pure action and, despite being short, has plenty of incentives for multiple playthroughs.”

“DEEEER Simulator: Your Avarage Everyday Deer Game is a fun game that works great if you want to de-stress a bit and don't want to play more of the same. Unfortunately, the game is very short and has some stability issues when played in handheld mode. Furthermore, there's not much reason to play the game other than just destroying things, and that gets tiring after a while. If you want a simple and fun game to distract yourself between major releases, DEEEER Simulator: Your Avarage Everyday Deer Game is a good choice. However, for those expecting something more, it's better to invest your money elsewhere.”

“In conclusion, Knockout Home Fitness is a perfect title for those who want to work out without leaving home, as well as a great alternative for those who don't want to shell out $70 for Ring Fit Adventure. With plenty of different exercises and encouraging the player to come back every day, the game is that push you need to start changing your habits.”

“Space Invaders Invicible Collection is the perfect Space Invaders experience. If you're a fan of the franchise or have always wanted to try it, this is your chance. There's no better way to play one of the most important video games in history than through this collection.”

“Shantae is a game that deserves to be played by platformers and metroidvania fans. Despite showing its age, the half-genie's first adventure is fun and thanks to the relationship more people can now enjoy it. And the good news is that if you like this title, the other games in the franchise are also available on the Switch. Just be warned in advance, this is not an easy game and it will test your patience quite a bit.”

“Saviors of Sapphire Wings & Stranger of Sword City Revisited is a fairly straightforward experience that doesn't add anything special to the genre. Despite this, the game has interesting ideas and will certainly attract the attention of dungeon crawler fans.”

“Gal☆Gun Returns is a rather weak title that relies too much on its mix of ecchi and rail shooter. Considering that rail shooters are a genre that has been little explored and has had few releases in recent years, it could be recommended if you are interested in this style of game since it manages to deliver a unique proposition, but that is not the case here, because if you don't like games with ecchi, or have big problems with this genre of anime, there is no reason to play it. And even if you do, I'm sure there must be animes, and even other games, that do fanservice much better than Gal☆Gun Returns. Unless you are a big fan of the franchise or want to mess around by introducing it to a friend, as was the case with me, there is no reason to have this game in your eShop account or a cartridge on your shelf.”

“If you’re looking to start exercising during these difficult times, Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise is the perfect choice. It’s perfect for beginners who want to burn some calories or just get a workout in.”
