Ikkarus and the Prince of Sin combines simulation and visual novel to present a curious fantasy experience, but it unfortunately fails in showing quality in any of its parts. The end result is disfunctional and souless, and the wonky Portuguese translation hinders rather than helps.

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy is an RPG that tries to make a curious mix in its combat, but it ends up being only frustrating and lackluster. With an uninteresting base, the experience doesn't appeal and is a bad way to bring back Compile's classic franchise to a new generation.

Destino Indomable is a visual novel with an incredible idea of exploring the Latin telenovela context. Unfortunately, the execution leaves a lot to be desired, with a shallow and poorly directed story and the shame to embrace the silliness of the genre in a non-ironic way. Along with subpar technical aspects, the result is a work that, while it may please some readers, doesn't manage to actually show the beauty of a good telenovela.

Waiting in the Lime Forest is a stylish text adventure, but it ends up developing the plot poorly in its short duration. For those who love the format, I believe it's worth to explore the game and see what it does, but I hope future games from the developer manage to be more captivating and fleshed out.

I*CHU: Chibi Edition is a fun rhythm gacha but it ends up coming to the west in an incomplete state. The result feels like a game that could have shined much more but ended up not getting its due care.

Rainbow Cotton is a game with a weak base that doesn't sustain itself with only small adjustments and a visual revamp. Though the series' charismatic universe still has its charm, this is a title only worth it as a portrait of a moment of the franchise and nothing more.

Maybe people too fascinated with the [delinquent] context and any tactical game may still enjoy Banchou Tactics a lot. I confess I still had fun at times and my feelings are more along the lines of sadness because the concept is pleasant and could have been used to make a high level game. I hope the next games from the team may offer more polishment and maybe even aim to be more ambitious.

Ultra Hat Dimension is a game without great qualities. With a focus on gameplay, it fails to deliver really interesting puzzles, oscillating between the boredom of more than fifty obvious levels and only a handful of challenging areas. For people looking for a casual retro-style puzzle, there are much better options on the market.

It is a pity that A Summer with the Shiba Inu does not properly explore its potential, as it's visuals are colorful and attract attention. In addition, dogs are charismatic and have interesting expressions. However, the mystery is not interesting at all, the story is longer and more confusing than it should be and the game does not seem to know very well what it really wants to do due to its great inconsistencies. In general, there are better games to enjoy on Switch.

City Hunter is an average, shallow and hardly interesting game but it had the chance to be rescued from the past and is now available in an acceptable way on modern systems. With its limitations in mind, the game can be interesting for retrogamers, but its appeal ends there.

Mugen Souls is a rerelease that is very faithful to the original Japanese release. Unfortunately, the game is very dated in mechanics and aesthetics, and it's hard to recommend it with so many good titles of the genre on Switch. It's worth buying only for those who already were curious about it and who like RPGs with lighthearted humor ambiance.

Tales of Symphonia is still an important piece of the franchise and a milestone that should be remembered, but it's unfortunately impossible to recommend the Switch edition when compared to any of the previous releases. It's a shame, as this classic deserved a high quality rerelease so that new players could experience it. It was not the case this time.

Burrow of the Fallen Bear is a visual novel that's honest about its intentions. With charismatic, expressive characters, it does a good job at executing its medieval furry world and sexuality approach. But the Portuguese text title and various details related to the user experience leave a lot to be desired. It's a title that I personally find pleasant for those who are interested by the theme but it deserved more polish.

I begrudgingly must say A Long Journey to an Uncertain End isn't a game I can recommend. It brings a story filled with fun characters and a universe I loved getting to know and the gameplay concept could have made a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, the lack of polish and care when transposing this adventure to the Switch impacted the full package too significantly to let it[s issues] slide.

Ashwalkers had the potential to be a very peculiar experience. Unfortunately, its sluggishness and superficiality end up turning its excellent proposal into something very limited. To make matters worse, the Switch version still has performance issues that make everything noticeably slower. Thanks to all these factors, it is a game that is difficult to recommend, but one that players more inclined to intimate and solemn adventures may still be able to enjoy.

Unfortunately, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Infinite Combate is just a generic action game that surfs on the fame of its original work and offers nothing particularly interesting. It can still be fun, but only in a banal way that almost any other title of the genre can be.

Roadwarden is an impressive text adventure RPG, but the Switch version is severely lacking when it comes to technical conditions. It's a shame as this should be one of the best of its kind on the platform, but it's just impossible to recommend it compared to the PC release.
Projected Dreams is a curious puzzle of light and shadows and it's possible to notice the team's effort in making it so each chapter brought a new gimmick to add variety to the challenges. However, the way the game handles physics and how it limits object control is frustrating and there are many issues that make it not a highlight within the genre.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED BATTLE DESTINY REMASTERED brings a fair action experience and nothing more than that. There are many polish issues and a campaign that cuts down the narrative to focus on a combat that's jankier than it should be. It's still possible to have fun with the game, especially for those who know the saga and just want to turn off the brain with giant robot battles, but there are better options in the market for those looking for good action experiences.

Though it takes advantage of its predecessor's concept, Mugen Souls Z falls in the same traps that made it a weak, aesthetically dated game with a poorly organized gameplay and narrative structure. It can still be a curious experience for those who love fanservice and humor works, but it's a tough recommendation overall.
