Terra Memoria is an RPG that evokes the nostalgia of the past, but which adapts perfectly to the standards of the current era. With charismatic characters, a well-crafted plot and a fun combat system, the game stands out as another excellent example of the genre.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is an RPG that actively strives to go against the market's quality of life efforts in pursuit of an old-school ideal. However, the result is a game that closes in on itself and caters only to the most die-hard fans of the genre. It's a shame, because even simple adjustments, like a mission menu and occasional changes to the menu, would be enough to maintain the challenge without the part that is purely inconvenient.

Freedom Planet 2 is a modern adventure with that special taste of the 16-bit era. Almost a decade after the release of the first title in the saga, we can finally meet Lilac and her companions again, and it is honestly difficult not to praise the quality of all the fundamental elements in this sequel, such as the immersive and responsive gameplay and the colorful and captivating presentation. Whether you are an enthusiast of 2D platform games with an emphasis on speed, or even a player who has been nostalgic for a while now, the GalaxyTrail game is easily recommended and the Nintendo Switch is a great way to experience it.

Moonglow Bay offers an experience that starts off incredibly engaging, but becomes monotonous and tedious before its conclusion. Throughout the campaign, its deficiencies and lack of a minimum of depth become increasingly evident, resulting in the limitation of the game's great potential.

Despite everything [pointed out before], Nyaaaanvy definitely has charm and is worth a chance if what you're looking for is a chaotic and funny game about long cats doing sumo.

GYLT is a genuine survival horror adventure with an ambientation reminiscent of children's school context. From the perspective of a small girl, the somber world we face is horrifying and the game manages to convey all the tension and incentivize exploration with a competent work of envirojnment and puzzle creation using basic mechanics as a base.

South Park: Snow Day! It's a brief, fun adventure full of humor. However, due to the lack of depth in its mechanics, it is a game that only manages to entertain during its few hours of campaign. Even with its post-game content, it is unlikely that the title will be able to captivate the player to the point of awakening the desire to play it again.

Alisa is a very pleasant, albeit late, surprise for the Switch. An excellent addition to the horror library alongside the aforementioned classics, but also others such as Outlast, Witch’s House and IB. For those looking for a tribute to the sick and macabre, Alisa is the most accurate of homages to the narratives that scare our dreams.

Pepper Grinder bet all its chips on its main mechanic, and the bet was more than successful. Don't expect an absurdly complex platform adventure, with dozens of hours to get the 100% that the game offers, as it's not about that. The proposal to base all game design elements on a single object works because its developers knew how to work with it in a way that matches everything around it, without straying from the foundations of the genre. So, start the powerful Grinder and keep digging without fear of what lies ahead!

Princess Peach: Showtime, with clear inspiration from Kirby games, brings an adventure marked by accessibility and diversity. It is, above all, a show of choreography, music, costumes and sets that are eye-catching, without falling into more of the same by always presenting us with fair and well-thought-out challenges with its extensive content. Even if Peach's triumphant return to the spotlight is affected by the ravages of time, which has unfortunately come to the Switch, this theatrical adventure is a good choice not only for fans of the most famous princess in video games, but also for people who want to have fun with casual and fun gameplay.

It pains me to say this, as I've always had the first two Battlefronts in high esteem in my affective memory, but STAR WARS: Battlefront Classic Collection hardly makes an effort to go beyond an awful rerelease of two excellent games, especially for their time, but it definitely can't live up to the current days based only on nostalgia.

Dungeon Drafters is a model title for its genre. It's the kind of challenging and addictive experience that makes players spend way more time than they expect. It's an excellent pick that fits the Switch [library] really well.

Ufouria: The Saga 2 captivates with its relaxed plot and cute, charismatic characters. Despite not presenting major challenges, the SUNSOFT title manages to keep the experience varied and fun throughout its duration.

Contra: Operation Galuga is a hard game. It's a good reinterpretation of an eternal classic but it has severe errors in execution. It's possible to see a soul and heart in the development, but it's also obvious that some adjustments were necessary (I myself was stuck in a bug that put me off screen, quickly eliminating my lives).

Death Trick: Double Blind presents an engaging mystery and puts us in the shoes of two protagonists in curious situations as we try to discover the culprit among intriguing suspects. However, it is important to note that the title may require some patience from the player due to performance issues on the Switch. For this reason, it may be more advisable to try this great game on another platform where it is available.

Anglerfish offers a curious premise, enriched by metalanguage elements in its narrative. Although the interesting mechanic of changing the path caused by death can occasionally lead to some monotonous runs due to the lack of significant variations, it is a game that is worth checking out.

Analyzing Plumbers Don't Wear Ties: Definitive Edition is a peculiar task. It's obvious that the game didn't become good with the magic of modernity. It remains one of the worst titles ever released, with a drawn-out story told via static images and themes that are extremely problematic for today's times. Therefore, what is worth observing is how the game was preserved and, in this regard, the production team for this port did a good job. The bonus content is enjoyable to consume, despite its compression, usability and subtitle issues. However, they could have gone a little deeper into the title's production history and brought more context to the deleted scenes. If you want to have your moment as The Angry Video Game Nerd and discover a (bad) moment in the history of games, this is the right time.

qomp2 is such a pleasurable adventure that it leaves you wanting more. If the game has a flaw, it's perhaps the lack of content: 30 super quick levels to beat and achievements to unlock, but that's it.

The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered succeeds in its mission to revive a cult classic stuck on the Nintendo 3DS in high definition and modern platforms. Though the remaster work has been hardly bold and does nothing concrete to mitigate the issues from the original work, the lack of ambition isn't enough to change the fact that this experimental JRPG is worth checking out for the genre's enthusiasts. So long as expectations are properly adjusted.

Side Order finally gives a concrete reason to purchase the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pack. If the first part of the DLC was limited to a nice hub, but without significant new features, this second addition brings exciting content and gameplay. In its first immersion in the roguelike genre, the title manages to establish fun gameplay, with clear risks and rewards, challenging missions and a loop that brings that "just one more round" feeling.
