Star Wars: Squadrons revives some of the best space combat from older games, but its delivery stumbles with a forgettable story and condensed multiplayer variety.

If you’re looking to unlock your inner D&D dance machine, look no further than The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor. If you’re feeling really ambitious, you can whip out your old DDR dance mats or Rockband 4 guitars. You know, really get immersed in the whole party style. Just be prepared for some humbling gameplay and to come away singing the songs for days on end.

V Rising has a solid foundation and few interesting ideas, but hides them in the shadows of the games that inspired it.

Brave New World wastes what precious little time Before the Storm has on filler, holding back meaningful developments until the very end.

Lords and Villeins is anything but a simple sim game. Strategy is key or your town will suffer. It is an easy game to get completely lost, but its already active community speaks wonders for the longevity of the game.

Despite the occasional glitch and the fact that it is likely going to leave players craving for more stages to shred through, Pepper Grinder is a great “drillformer” that is definitely worth picking up and seeing to the end.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 is a great buy for any Nintendo Switch owner who wants to explore the origin and evolution of the Mega Man franchise.

The Ninja Saviors – Return of the Warriors’ highly-aggressive play style makes all other beat ‘em ups seem slow by comparison.

Vermintide is the best kind of game, then; the kind where whimsy dictates the events, but personal skill influences the outcome. Looking at the overwhelming number of my Steam friends that are currently playing, I can see already that Vermintide will quickly become the next title that everyone’s friends will be playing.

Immortals Fenyx Rising has a strong argument for being the nadir of open world action-adventure games.

Easily the funniest videogame since Stick of Truth and sure to be the funniest until whenever the hell Trey Parker and Matt Stone decide to do this again.

The Knight Witch is an easy to recommend entry in a genre loaded with fans who may want to try something different, but also a good starter title for those looking to get acquainted with 2D action games.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana makes a handful of smart improvements to an already great action RPG, making it look and feel better than ever.

Even if it's an imperfect collection, Disney Afternoon Collection now offers even more value, especially for gamers of a certain age.

Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe doesn’t redefine the series like Kirby & the Forgotten World, but it’s a welcome addition to the Switch library. This feast of content for players of all stripes continues the pink puffball’s reign as Nintendo’s King of Co-Op.

Little Nightmares is a well-crafted horror game that is held back by okay platforming, loose controls and a bad checkpoint system.

Mega Mix offers a lot for Switch owners to enjoy, even if the title doesn’t live up to the standard the series has set for itself.

Like a Pop-Up Book, Crafted World is creative and fun, but only paper-thin.

It’s a wonderful, dazzling little world Thunder Lotus created, and you just might learn something while you’re playing.

Though there are some quality-of-life improvements Hozy could benefit from, it is the perfect game to kick back, relax and get creative with.

Gears of War: Reloaded is a great way to experience the original Gears game with a friend if neither of you has played it before. Otherwise, it is notable to see a flagship Xbox title on PlayStation, but the gameplay feels especially clunky in 2025.

Not only is it a great game to be able to sink a few rounds of practice into while commuting or during a lunch break, as an adult with a job, a big part of the problem I had with the original was getting people to actually play it couch-multiplayer style.

Amerzone - The Explorer’s Legacy takes the excellent fundamentals established by its predecessor and enhances them tenfold with modern gaming sensibilities and unbelievable visual polish.

Earth Defense Force 4.1 is a smoother, more polished version of the same cheesy, excellent product that Sandlot’s gotten so good at making.

Until Dawn captured the slasher flick perfectly: typical story, typical teens. Jason, Ghostface, and the fishhook killer from I Know What You Did Last Summer would be proud. However, I cannot stress enough; people not into the horror genre probably won’t enjoy Until Dawn nearly as much.

New Pokémon Snap earns it’s name—maintaining what made the original so beloved, but making it feel fresh and exciting.

So is it worthwhile? For SNK fans, yes, especially if you missed the Pocket Color like everyone else. Despite the Compilation’s game-to-dollar value, though, this is still a collection of twenty-year-old handheld games. If you miss the Game Boy days and want something new to play, you may find something worthwhile here.
