Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream returns as one of the quirkiest life simulators in the genre. Unlike other titles, it bases its premise on random interactions between Miis, from which anything can happen. Although it lacks a bit more depth, it is a game with a lot of charm, but also very niche.

Starfield arrives on PS5 systems as a solid port, though it is a bit of a mixed bag.

Marathon is an addictive extraction shooter with the unmistakable hallmark of Bungie.

Although the on-screen interface is overwhelming and gives the feeling that it could have launched more polished, its solid endgame content makes up for the experience.

Screamer is a return to one of the legendary arcade racing franchises that stands out for its focus on story, art style, and high-octane gameplay. While it offers innovative controls using both sticks, the lengthy cutscenes break the pacing even between Tournament Mode races. Furthermore, although it features several interesting game modes, they are quite sparse and offer few customization options. Even so, it is a game that arcade racing fans might enjoy thanks to its great controls.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach on PC is a wonderful port and a very faithful sequel.

It doesn't aim to break the mold, but stands as a worthy successor to the original Little Nightmares.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 serves as Sega's apology for the original game's troubled launch back in 2007.

While there are certainly areas for improvement, there is nothing here to cause alarm.

My Hero Academia: All's Justice is a faithful adaptation of the source material that plays it safe within the fighting genre.

However, given some issues regarding story pacing and fighter balance, it remains to be seen how well it will hold up over time.

Still, from a gameplay standpoint, it’s a very enjoyable experience.

Technically, it surpasses the original (and even Avowed), though there’s still room for improvement. It’s one of those games where no two playthroughs will ever feel the same.

Persona 3 Reload is a remake that fits surprisingly well on the Switch 2. It’s a solid choice for owners of the console and longtime Atlus fans.

Aside from that, it’s a strong port overall but fans will definitely miss the Episode Aegis expansion.

Its biggest strength lies in the accessible, easy-to-use level editor, giving the community plenty of room to share their creations. The hack & slash gameplay is a blast, especially with friends. Still, its long-term success will depend on post-launch support, since games like this thrive on a steady stream of updates.

Certain aspects will likely divide the community, but it remains a worthy experience for fans of horror and Silent Hill alike.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree delivers a charming story, lovable characters, and gameplay that blends Roguelike elements with village-building. Its dual-character system adds a unique twist, offering light but engaging combat and the option to forge your own weapons—though the crafting can feel tedious and unintuitive. Some mid-level environments fall a bit flat, but the exciting boss battles make up for it.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds doesn’t reinvent the wheel for the genre, but it puts its own spin on things with dimension-hopping tracks and deep customization for both vehicles and abilities.

Still, it remains highly enjoyable and one of the most complete wrestling titles on a Nintendo console.

Donkey Kong Bananza delivers everything we hoped for in a modern 3D adventure starring Nintendo’s most beloved ape.

On top of that, the overwhelming amount of collectibles feels excessive and unnecessary for a game that didn’t need them to shine.

Shadow Labyrinth is a strange Metroidvania (in the best possible way) that sets itself apart through numerous references to Bandai Namco’s history, not just as easter eggs, but as core gameplay elements. It features a challenging yet fair difficulty curve, though its cryptic story starts off slow. While the environments can feel a bit repetitive, the game still manages to be engaging throughout.

Both games are easy to pick up but offer a fair learning curve, with a clever mix of rhythm and strategy that will have players humming along to the beat.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is a clear example of the great effort CD Projekt Red put into bringing this port to the Nintendo Switch 2, with excellent optimization to enjoy the game on the console.

Mario Kart World introduces an interesting open-world mode, but it falls short in several key areas. The Grand Prix mode can be completed in just a few hours.

FromSoftware proves it hadn't shown everything with Elden Ring, delivering a bold yet effective new experience in Nightreign. The gameplay stays true to its Souls-like roots, with simplified mechanics but a unique twist that makes it addictive. It’s an experience with a lot of depth and one that can stand alongside the best in the co-op genre.

While Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon borrows heavily from The Elder Scrolls series—comparisons are inevitable—several of its gameplay systems are distinct enough to set it apart from Bethesda’s titles.

DOOM: The Dark Ages reinvents the classic FPS with a medieval twist that shifts the pace without losing the franchise’s brutal essence. While its gameplay demands some adjustment and the visuals aren't particularly impressive compared to previous entries, it runs smoothly on PC and its narrative piques curiosity.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered for PC is an excellent option for those who still want to experience this game at its best possible quality.

Monster Hunter Wilds combines the best elements of World and Rise, enhancing gameplay with new mechanics and a more dynamic world. The interaction with the environment, the variety of monsters, and the expanded combat tools create a more immersive experience. While some graphical details could be improved, it remains a solid entry that fans will enjoy.

Alongside stunning graphics optimized for the current generation, it delivers a top-tier golfing experience.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii takes the franchise into new waters, putting players in command of a pirate ship and crew, blending beat 'em up action with naval combat. It retains the signature mature and irreverent style that fans love. While it feels somewhat toned down, possibly due to being a spin-off, it still offers an entertaining experience.

This game introduces innovative mechanics that make matches more dynamic and deepen strategic gameplay. Changes like Legacies, the new diplomacy system, and global crises bring fresh elements, though switching civilizations between Eras can be confusing. Many of these modifications are drastic, but the game is set to evolve through expansions and updates, solidifying itself as another great game of the franchise.
