Fans of the Queen of Crime can once again incorporate an inexperienced Poirot in Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot - The London Case, a new story that lives up to the british writer's narrative style. Even though there are a few blunders here and there, especially [when it comes to] the performance, players looking for an excellent mystery plot will find this to be an excellent adventure able to captivate for hours on end without getting tiresome.

In the end, Boundless Trails is a good game and works for both longtime fans as those who are still getting started.

Mugen Souls Z represents a notable evolution from its predecessor with various novelties and upgrades that turn it into a notably distinct and superior experience compared to the first game. With a simple plot centered on humor, it may not be an ideal choice for those looking for a dense narrative. However, for players who are satisfied with a solid combat system, it offers the full plate with almost unlimited character customization and improvement possibilities.

Mon-Yu is an excellent addition to the dungeon crawler library with a creative and unexpected concept that is very well crafted. To those already experienced in the genre especially, it's a welcome breath of fresh air to demonstrate how it's possible to modernize this RPG niche without losing its challenging essence.

Summum Aeterna is yet another proof that mixing metroidvania and roguelite mechanics works when it's done well. The many surprises and agile, addicting combat system are fun and compensate for the blunders in the story and the absence of difficulty options (almost ironic considering the matches' customization). Thinking about its potential, it's a shame the title isn't in its better version on Switch and even face bizarre bugs such as the idiom change. I hope future patches fix these issues. Maybe this way the King of Darkness will be able to actually reign among the fellow members of the genre on the Nintendo system.

Despite some caveats, The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation is a good example of what the Asian horror has to offer. With an instigating narrative that delves into each of its six characters and explores the curse origins, the game is a solid choice for fans of the genre.

Dimension Shellshock is interesting and expands the references to the multimedia Ninja Turtles universe, including the character skins. However, the difficulty isn't well balanced compared to the base game, turning it into a little frustrating experience.

30XX manages to improve all aspects of its promising predecessor and go beyond expectations. Many elements of the game just work, from the healthy heaping of content to the high level of challenge, beautiful graphics, competent sound, primorous animations, and smooth, precise gameplay like every game should have. As a result, the target public for the title's formula is ample, making it very easy to recommend 30XX to any kind of player.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central's party does have a few stumbles, such as the controllers instability and the lack of continuity in its narrative core. However, those factors don't represent an absence of fun. With an attractive concept and a ton of musical energy, this title deserves a chance for those who want to gather their friends or just hit the floor with the incredible ability to transform the Joy-Con into the iconic maracas of the Amigo mascot.

ANONYMOUS;CODE is the most recent entry in a series that is already 15 years old and has six main titles but can be appreciated in a standalone form with no issues. The plural themes magnificently explored, the rich characters' cast and the metalinguistic mechanic that has the protagonist and the player interacting make a triad [of elements] that captivates and mantains the interest even for those [players] less used to visual novels that are so focused on reading.

Mirrored Souls lives up to the publisher's name, offering a brief experience but extremely pleasant. The plot explores complex and deep themes that have intrigued mankind since ancient times. In the same vein, the puzzles are compelling and will definitely please the genre's enthusiasts.

Red Dead Redemption has a memorable story, iconic characters and a gameplay that left a mark for a golden age of action adventures and for Rockstar, who managed to spread their wings beyond the shadow of Grand Theft Auto. Its influence lasts to these days, as I am here, 13 years later, talking about its Switch port; thus, if you have any reservation about experiencing this modern classic, I recommend at least giving it a chance. Who knows if you won't get so excited that you will also jump into Red Dead Redemption 2 (if you haven't yet)?

Sea of Stars evokes nostalgia by bringing an adventure reminiscent of 20th century RPGs to modern consoles. With a meticulously crafted audiovisual package, charismatic characters and locations and lots of lore to be explored, its simplicity makes Zale and Valere's adventure a full plate for both veterans and newcomers to the genre. Even with a few caveats here and there, this game is proof that, although there are setbacks along the way, the result can be – and a lot – worth it.

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles is an efficient restoration of important titles for the fans of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure who didn't have the opportunity to know the events beyond the end of Cornet's journey in her musical debut. It's also an interesting experience for those who, through the NIS Classics collections, got to know the titles that helped shape the structure of the modern titles made by the company and who want to have an explore games with concepts that are a little different from what we have nowadays.

Playing Unpacking is a unique experience that demonstrates how the simplicity of gameplay, when well employed, can translate into an absurdly involving and emotional work. Through the mechanics of unpacking and organizing, the game unveils the story of its protagonist and invites us to reflect on our own journeys, revisiting not only the objects that passed through our lives, but also the people who remain and those who are gone.

Blasphemous 2 is one of the best metroidvanias available on the market. From the impeccable visuals to the gameplay enhancements, the only real blasphemy here is not enjoying this carefully curated sequel by The Game Kitchen. So rise and accept your fate, Penitent: Cvstodia's fate is once again in your hands (and this is fortunately great news).

With all the positive points of Var Commons intact, Norn9: Last Era is a package that's very rich in content, bringing explanations and perspectives that were not explored in the base game. Unfortunately, some CGs were reused on the fandisk and some parts of the narrative are more padded than they should but, for fans of visual novels, the second trip onboard the Norn is quite worth it.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is another unmissable narrative work from Deconstructeam, offering a level of sensitivity, cohesion and depth that is very difficult to find in the market. The well-written narrative, high-quality audiovisual aspects and unique mechanics come together in an impactful experience that deserves to be highlighted.

Adore has some good ideas, especially when it comes to its fun combat system, but also the slight sense of wasted potential for a game that spent so much time in early access. Still, if the promise of collecting creatures and building the best team possible for fast-paced real-time combat appeals to you, there's plenty to enjoy here. Here's hoping, then, that in an eventual (and more ambitious) sequel, being a worshiper will be less repetitive and even more exciting.

Moving Out 2 didn't come to set a new standard in the chaotic simulator genre. Its mission leans more towards maintaining a proven efficient formula, with changes aimed at mitigating the main problems of its predecessor. This goal was also achieved, and the result is a sequence that is not perfect, but it is fun, has good challenges and a lot of laughs — that is, it does what a video game has to do, although many people forget about it.
