Overall, Pups & Purrs Pet Shop's "balance" tends to very positive. The game presents a good variety of fun minigames as well as a competent time management portion in the story mode. The visuals for the game and the pets are adorable and the customization possibilities are enough to entertain for a long time, even though there's room for much more. It's definitely a title recommended for those who want to pass time casually or for children who want to have fun with some games with cute pets as a theme.

AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead and Undressed Director's Cut is a gift for all otakus, being more an eccentric city simulator than a masterpiece, but still, its unique gameplay system, destroying enemies through strip, is interesting and strangely funny. The references to the electronic city are the game's charm and, although I've never visited Akihabara, I was able to capture several points of otaku culture represented in the game. It may not be the best within its genre, but if you're an otaku and want to feel a little nostalgic for the past, AKIBA'S TRIP might be a good choice to spend a few afternoons relaxing uncompromisingly.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons dives headlong into renewing the franchise, even though it respects the classic a lot and avoids mischaracterizing it, thus preserving the nostalgia factor. The changes that bring new perspectives to the gameplay and fighting strategy in the campaign are very welcome, thus differentiating the title from its contemporaries. The stumbles in difficulty and the injustice caused by wrong decisions, however, take the shine out of the journey – both solo and in duo –, which is fun most of the time, until it becomes extremely frustrating.

Presenting efficiency and simplicity, Ember Knights surprised me positively on the Switch. With its addictive formula, worthy of the roguelite genre, the challenges are intense and fun as they allow many strategic combinations through the varied equipment, powers and relics. Despite the absence of an online mode and lacking challenge diversity, the Ember Knights saga is a fun action game burning like a blaze especially because of its hot gameplay.

Oaken is a sad case of the game that lacks so much in technical aspects that its practical side loses much of its appeal. You can't expect everyone to have the good will to deal with an excessive amount of content introduced at a pace that overloads the player, nor with extremely confusing interfaces, only then to enjoy the qualities that a product has to offer.

It is expected that some series will show ups and downs. Others, however, follow a path of constant evolution, improving and improving with each new title. Pikmin 4 marks the apex of the franchise, bringing (almost) everything good that previous games have already presented, in addition to excellent new features and the implementation of all these elements in a pleasant and inviting way. If this fourth title isn't able to win you over, I don't know what will.

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening is a great game from a lesser-known franchise in the West, but one that certainly deserves recognition from strategist enthusiasts. There are some problems executing commands in the console version and its learning barrier is a little more demanding, but those who persist for three or four games will be rewarded with an extremely complex game, full of different strategies to win and completely addictive. Its replayability potential is incredible with so many clan options to control and surely hundreds of hours can be enjoyed in it.

Disney Illusion Island presents itself as an average game. It doesn't invent the wheel nor does it bring novelties, offering the "bread and butter" done well.

Sucker For Love: First Date is a romance simulator with cosmic creatures that manages to handle well both its comical side and the nefarious implications of its concept. Though some quality of life details could have been better, its plot and the curious system of doing sinister rituals for a kiss make it a title very different from the usual ones in the market and, at the same time, shows competency in depicting romance, comedy and horror and mixing them up.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is an adventure game focused on supernatural mysteries. With a simple exploration system and a plot made up of easy-to-empathize personal dramas, the title is a good recommendation for fans of the genre, but leaves something to be desired in terms of user experience quality.

Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a title with an interesting plot and compelling puzzles. However, unfortunately, the Switch version ends up set back by the lacking brightness, resulting in many disappointing moments.

Though it brings a vast character customization, an entertaining story and the possibility to visit the same story from two different perspectives, Cross Tails doesn't manage to be a highlight in any of these aspects among RPGs, as other games in the genre managed to do everything this KEMCO title proposes better. Besides, the audiovisual presentation also leaves something to be desired despite running well on Switch. Nowadays, there are better RPG options in the market. It's not enough to show potential if it's constantly hindered by the grinding in the long run.

Radiant Tale is a really enticing fantasy visual novel that's worth playing. With an easily relatable character, charismatic characters and a good audiovisual direction overall, it's an spot-on recommendation within its genre.

Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE is a title "haunted" by a considerable legacy even before it was shaped in the development team head. Personally, I felt the final product was far less competent than said legacy but I can partly comprehend the creative challenges Spike Chunsoft underwent and if a new game showed up, I'd still have faith in this team that loves pink blood.

"How does Nintendo decide to release a sequel to 1-2-Switch and leave other beloved franchises behind?" asked some fans during the official announcement period for Everybody 1-2-Switch! I believe this is not the right question to ask. The first game, despite its stumbles, introduced many people to the Switch concept and is one of the console's best-selling titles. So, for me, the correct question is "How could this sequence not have been taken more care?" Make no mistake: the game has its high moments. Certain minigames are fun, their presentation is pleasant and the cell phone connection works surprisingly well. However, the bulk of the experience is marred by low longevity activities, tiresome competition modes, and lack of location and accessibility. This is one of those parties where you arrive excited, but end up returning home early.

My Lovely Wife is a type of game not so attractive at a first glance but with a well defined and executed concept. The really well written story of Jake and Luna revolves around love, passion and cunning.

Pikmin 2 is back, now on Switch, in a simple but honest edition. The port doesn't bring any significant new features, but it's an easy way to enjoy a classic game on a current console. Especially for those who were already big fans of the series or never played, this is a beautiful opportunity to explore this world of small creatures.

Pikmin 1 not only gave me an extremely enjoyable and fun experience, but also made me want to enjoy all of its sequels. With visuals that remain quite charming and, above all, with solid, functional and indescribably fun gameplay, this is a game that justifies its arrival on Switch and deserves to be checked out by any video game lover.
