Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact is not a good fighting game. Matches quickly become one-sided with one-button combos, and inexperienced players face extremes: either overly easy wins or losses against overpowered characters who drain all your health in a few hits.

Ideal for short sessions and perfect for handheld game fans, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay is a captivating collection that pleases both veterans and newcomers alike, but it doesn’t offer much new for those who have played the games recently.

Tamagotchi Plaza reinvents the classic 90s virtual pet with a light and accessible approach to city management and varied minigames, where the player interacts with different shops and charismatic characters. Although it lacks a deep story and some minigames are inconsistent, the game stands out for its vibrant visuals, nostalgic charm, and focus on children and franchise fans, offering a fun and welcoming experience — even if somewhat limited for those who don’t understand English.

With a creative progression system, stylish retro visuals, and unique mechanics like contracts with side effects and Paper Mario-style badges, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo stands out as one of the best Brazilian releases of the year.

Date Everything is a completely unconventional dating simulator that turns inanimate objects into charismatic characters with surprisingly touching stories. As absurd as the idea of dating a fridge or a shower might seem, the game shines with its creative script, top-notch voice acting, and a narrative that balances humor, drama, and reflections on identity, making it a unique gem for fans of visual novels and quirky comedies.

Gex Trilogy offers easy access to the mascot trilogy that Crystal Dynamics decided to abandon in 1999. Although the games are fun, the collection falls short by not including access to different versions of each title. Furthermore, it lacks filters and extras that would justify buying this new bundle instead of opting for emulation solutions.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach fixes all the issues of the original and takes the experience to a whole new level. The game is flawless in everything it sets out to do and stands as one of the best video game experiences in recent years. If you enjoyed the first game, there’s a high chance you’ll fall in love with this one, as it is undoubtedly one of the greatest games of the entire generation.

Lies of P: Overture is a great addition for fans of the base game, with good bosses and new weapons. However, repetition and weak area design hold it back from reaching its full potential.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Switch 2 further enhances the 2017 classic, with notable graphical improvements and stable performance. Now running at up to 4K and 60 FPS, the game finally delivers the fluidity many fans always wished for, with reduced loading times and a sharper visual presentation, all while preserving the beauty of the original art direction. The experience is virtually flawless, even in areas that previously suffered performance drops on the original Switch.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the Nintendo Switch 2 is the definitive version of Nintendo's modern classic, offering enhanced graphics, smooth 60 FPS performance, and near-instant loading times. While it doesn’t introduce new content, this re-release stands out for its technical improvements and quality-of-life tweaks, making it ideal both for newcomers exploring Hyrule for the first time and for longtime fans looking to relive the adventure with superior comfort and performance.

Sonic X Shadow Generations for the Nintendo Switch 2 delivers a fun experience that blends nostalgia with new content, featuring enhanced visuals, an all-new Shadow campaign, and well-crafted 2D stages — but it falls short of justifying the full price for those who already own the original, especially due to the lack of a free upgrade, excessive automation in 3D sections, and modest technical improvements.

MindsEye might have been a good game if it had launched complete, with more systems and activities, but it’s clear it wasn’t ready for release. It’s the kind of game worth picking up only during a deep discount and several months down the line, once the development team makes it at least minimally playable — though even then, it will likely remain rough around the edges.

Battle Train is an addictive strategy game that goes far beyond what its description suggests. However, performance issues on the Switch and some questionable decisions regarding progression and story prevent the title from fully reaching its potential.

Hogwarts Legacy on the Switch 2 is a significantly improved version compared to the original release on the first Switch, offering better visuals, stable performance, and near-zero loading times. While it still doesn’t match the technical level of the PS5 or Xbox Series X, the experience is now smooth and immersive, making the exploration of Hogwarts much more enjoyable.

Tron: Catalyst is an experience that starts with big ideas but stumbles in execution, delivering a modest product that's more functional than memorable. Fans of the franchise may find value in its style and atmosphere, but should temper expectations regarding the depth of its gameplay systems.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a competent version of a forgettable game. It successfully brings SMT franchise elements into real-time combat, but it lacks variety and depth, features a tiring mission structure, and despite a strong start, the story drags on and loses its initial investigative atmosphere. It's a decent game, but flawed in several important areas.

Rematch is a bold reinvention of football games by Sloclap, blending intense action, no-rules arcade gameplay, and the spirit of street matches into a unique and chaotic experience. Despite technical issues like unstable servers and the lack of cross-play at launch, the game stands out for its freedom, fast-paced rhythm, stylized visuals, and a creative concept that’s likely to appeal to those looking for something different from traditional genre formulas.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die combines the franchise’s peculiar aesthetic with solid rogue-like mechanics, offering a varied experience with strong replay value. Combat is strategic, build crafting is rich, and the challenges are fair and creative.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S blends two classic franchises in a creative game, but with a steep learning curve and high difficulty for newcomers. The new features in the Switch 2 version, such as Doubles mode and mouse support, don't add as much as they promise.

Bravely Default HD Remaster brings back one of the best 3DS games for the Switch 2 launch with few new features, but remains a great classic JRPG for fans of the genre. It's a shame it didn't receive support for new languages like Latin American Spanish and Portuguese.

Cyberpunk 2077 on the Switch 2 delivers on its promise, offering a solid graphical experience, with the new control options being quite interesting. Performance can vary negatively depending on the game mode you choose, but with a few adjustments, you can definitely enjoy an experience on the Switch 2 that's on par with other modern platforms.

The Alters is not for impatient players. If you’re looking for fast-paced action and quick results, this might not be the right title for you. The game demands thought, trial and error, and a good dose of self-reflection. Even so, it delivers a deeply rewarding and contemplative experience, standing out as one of the most interesting titles of the year.

Mario Kart World introduces vertical races between circuits as a new feature, but some feel too similar, and the open world is somewhat dull. Even so, the game remains excellent—especially in multiplayer—and is the best way to showcase what the Nintendo Switch 2 is capable of at launch.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade tries to refresh the Rogue-lite genre with RPG elements and a striking anime style, but stumbles with a poorly presented story and excessive dialogue. The gameplay makes up for it with fluid combat and good bosses, though the repetition of enemies and environments makes the experience tiring.

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker is a beautiful additional adventure for the game, showcasing the strengths of its visuals and level design. However, some issues with the presentation of combat and the pacing of battles prevent the DLC from reaching its full potential.

Labyrinth of the Demon King is a short but intense experience that delivers exactly what it promises: a dark, atmospheric dive into a revenge-driven journey full of challenges.

This game wasn’t good in 2011, and in 2025 it hasn’t improved at all. Stiff controls, uncharismatic characters, a predictable story, and a campaign that gets worse as it progresses — we recommend skipping straight to the sequel.

The very core idea behind the conception of Elden Ring: Night Reign is flawed; loop-based games like roguelikes completely break the magic of FromSoftware's formula. It feels like a bundle of mods that quickly loses its charm due to repetitiveness—and that's if you're playing with someone who knows what they're doing; if not, the experience gets much worse.
