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.

As additional content, SEGA Villains Stage is a good way to return to the action title, although it is brief. It is geared more towards hardcore players due to its high difficulty and rather tough bosses with memorable battles. If you know what to expect from the DLC, I can recommend it.

Starfield arrives on PS5 systems as a solid port, though it is a bit of a mixed bag. New content in the form of an expansion and fan-demanded gameplay improvements were implemented in this version, but on a technical level, it still suffers from the usual issues. Aside from the above, it is a game with the pure Bethesda hallmark.

Pragmata is a third-person action game with a unique twist on shooting and hacking that gives its gameplay a strong strategic component. Although its story isn't all that surprising, we will at least love how the protagonist bonds with Diana and how both grow as characters. It doesn't revolutionize the genre, but its mix of concepts is interesting enough to give it a try.

WWE 2K26 for Nintendo Switch 2 remains an impressive technical showcase for a handheld console. This version brings over all the content available on more powerful consoles with favorable results. Although it has some areas for improvement, it is a highly recommended game.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is the definitive version of the original game that adds new content; although somewhat sparse, it is at least fun. It is more focused on its multiplayer aspect (though somewhat restrictive), and its graphical side did not require many tweaks, but it is content worth considering if we are fans of platformers.

Darwin’s Paradox! is an attempt to bring stealth and suspense to a 2.5D platformer with puzzle-solving and touches of humor, which has turned out mostly well. Its core premise of controlling the octopus and its innate abilities is one of the main hooks of the game. Although it doesn't offer anything that hasn't been seen before, it is a title that deserves a chance.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection continues the compilations of classic games featuring Capcom's blue hero. It brings with it the typical modern additions such as graphical improvements, updated settings, new modes, and a gallery with its own music player. That said, it inherits some limitations from the original titles, but overall, it is an enjoyable product.

New Super Lucky

Crimson Desert is an uneven mix of various systems and genres, which, despite being overwhelming, is somehow entertaining. Although its world is equally chaotic, it turns out to be charming and full of possibilities. However, base systems like the PS5 suffer from poor lighting and erratic textures that tarnish the experience. Those who can forgive the aforementioned will have a good enough experience.

Marathon is an addictive extraction shooter with the unmistakable hallmark of Bungie. Its hostile map Tau Ceti IV offers great tension and survival, standing out for its colorful aesthetic and an accessible learning curve. 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 stands out for its major visual improvements, a cinematic photo mode, and the excellent stability provided by DLSS. Its mouse and keyboard gameplay is flawless, although its high technical requirements can be an obstacle for some players.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is a somewhat sparse revision of the title that concludes the Kain and Raziel series. It comes with some improvements like the camera system and updated graphics, plus a few extras. Although it comes with issues inherited from the original version, it is clearly a product for nostalgic fans.

The PC version of WWE 2K26 shines with its excellent stability, superior graphics, and great immersion. Although its initial menu is overwhelming and the visual options are somewhat limited, the decision to play it safe and lock it at 60FPS guarantees flawless, well-optimized gameplay so that any system can run it without issues.

Pokémon Pokopia is a great blend of concepts as disparate as Pokémon, Minecraft, and Animal Crossing, which surprisingly work. It is an entertaining spin-off full of activities, always maintaining its 'Pocket Monsters' essence. Although it starts slow, once past that barrier, we are looking at one of the best games in the franchise so far.

Although Toxic Commando has addictive moments and offers around 20 hours of gameplay, it lacks the spark and immersion it promised, besides having graphics that feel a bit outdated. However, the developer's formula still works; its story and good cutscenes are the ideal hook to keep you playing for a while.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is what you can expect from a remake that rescues a gem of traditional psychological horror. As a representative of the genre, it keeps the player in constant tension through both its unsettling soundtrack and the grim atmosphere of a rural Japanese village. Its dark plot and the ability to guide the protagonist's sister carry a deep emotional component. Although it is locked at 30fps, it graphically improves all its aspects with great results.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are two classics that capture the traditional Pokémon essence, arriving on the Nintendo Switch with rather sparse enhancements. Fundamentally, they are the exact same games from 2004, featuring only the most minimal of modern tweaks. That aside, they remain two classics from the franchise's golden era, now available on the Switch.

Fundamentally, they are the exact same games from 2004, featuring only the most minimal of modern tweaks.

It is a highly recommended game.

It firmly earns its place among the console’s recommended exclusives.

While it delivers a satisfying blend of the franchise's DNA with Metroidvania elements, it ultimately sticks to the genre's basics.

Boasting a lineup of the series' best titles alongside previously unreleased entries, modern quality-of-life improvements, and robust multiplayer options, it stands as a worthy collection from Konami’s vault of classics.

Reanimal is a well-executed blend of a terrifying, grim atmosphere and a fresh twist on gameplay: co-op and 3D environments. The game masterfully handles exploration, puzzle-solving, and preying upon our deepest fears. Complementing this is a cooperative mode that fits the formula perfectly. 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. It delivers exactly what you would expect from a remake in this franchise: a mature narrative with specific tweaks, hundreds of side activities, a revamped combat system, and a brand-new expansion. 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. It delivers exciting gameplay, a decent character roster, and a semi-open world mode—with all that entails. However, given some issues regarding story pacing and fighter balance, it remains to be seen how well it will hold up over time.

Nioh 3 refines its formula with a dual combat style system—Samurai and Ninja—that adds a new strategic layer while improving upon established mechanics. The action shifts to 'Open Fields,' offering larger maps packed with activities. Ultimately, it is an improved experience, though its steep difficulty remains a high barrier for newcomers.

Moreover, it serves as a great excuse for those wanting to return to a highly entertaining virtual life.

Code Vein II vastly surpasses its predecessor with the implementation of interesting new mechanics, an expansive open world, and deep customization.

For those looking to play the best available versions, this bundle is the way to go.

With a steady 60fps, sharper textures, and improved lighting, the game now feels smoother and more visually detailed. It’s the same beloved adventure—just presented with much better clarity and polish.

Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons, even with its strengths, falls somewhere between tribute and reinvention due to a handful of clunky gameplay decisions. The series’ signature charm is still there, but not enough to fully carry the experience over the long run, even with the added roguelike elements.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 finally gets the update it needed to become the game fans were hoping for back in 2020. Beyond the DLC and upcoming content, it’s a solid musou experience with more than 40 playable characters. The gameplay holds up well, but the rushed, watered-down story—trying to cram hundreds of chapters into just a few hours—does drag it down a bit. Still, from a gameplay standpoint, it’s a very enjoyable experience.

Octopath Traveler 0, as a prequel to the franchise, keeps everything fans already love—an engaging story, strategic and deep gameplay with a cast of charming characters. While a few elements could be more polished, it still stands out as a JRPG worth keeping on your radar for the rest of the year.

It blends classic Hack & Slash action with signature Zelda elements in a way that works smoothly, all while staying true to its roots.

Titans of the Tide doesn’t reinvent the formula, but it delivers a solid and fun 3D platforming adventure that fans of SpongeBob —and the genre— will enjoy.

Embark Studios presents an ambitious project here—one that perfectly balances action, humor, and just the right amount of challenge.

Revive marks the return of a classic with refreshed and well-executed mechanics, though it stumbles with a weak story and outdated visuals. Its combat system is fun and full of potential, but the lack of post-game content makes it more of a short-term experience—best enjoyed casually with friends.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage brings the iconic fighting franchise to a new generation of players, now featuring rollback netcode, crossplay, and several modern additions. Gameplay-wise, it’s the same deep, technical fighter fans have loved for years, though new learning tools make it more welcoming for newcomers. Visually, it’s the best version yet—but it’s also a clear reminder that the series is overdue for a full-scale evolution.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is the perfect example of how to properly bring two timeless classics back to life. With modernized mechanics, a beautifully reorchestrated soundtrack, and a stunning visual style that pays homage to old-school JRPGs, it’s a faithful yet fresh experience.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A stays true to the classic Pokémon spirit while introducing meaningful gameplay changes. However, it still carries over many of the same issues the series hasn’t managed to overcome.

Ninja Gaiden 4 delivers on its promise to be the high-quality action game fans have been waiting for, setting a new benchmark for the series. With its impressive visuals, fast-paced and intense combat, and the addition of a new playable protagonist, it stands out as one of the best modern hack-and-slash experiences.

It keeps its trademark quirky humor, chaotic mechanics, and delightfully weird story intact. It’s not a reinvention of the formula, but it’s still a joy to play from start to finish.

The Outer Worlds 2 returns with a far more ambitious vision, refining many of the aspects that felt unfinished in the first game — including a revamped combat system, improved companion management, and other key mechanics. It’s classic Obsidian: full of moral choices, complex characters, and a story that adapts to every decision you make. 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. While most of its visual quality is intact, the framerate is locked at 30fps in both modes — a strange decision that’s sure to spark debate. Aside from that, it’s a strong port overall but fans will definitely miss the Episode Aegis expansion.

Battlefield 6 is both the most ambitious and the biggest letdown in the series. It wastes its huge potential with a boring campaign and a multiplayer mode that only looks good. After a few hours, it feels repetitive and loses its identity by trying too hard to be like Call of Duty instead of staying true to what made Battlefield special. The Escalation and Portal modes are the only real highlights, with Portal standing out thanks to the creativity of the community. Despite great sound design, Battlefield 6 misses the most important thing which is originality and heart.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a collection of two must-play platforming classics, now returning for modern Nintendo consoles. While their gameplay quality and technical improvements are undeniable, the compilation adds very little in terms of new content. Still, both titles remain essential experiences for platforming fans and longtime Mario enthusiasts.

Ghost of Yōtei builds on its predecessor’s essence, delivering an intense tale of revenge led by a new, compelling protagonist inspired by the best of the genre.

It’s not a perfect adaptation, with some noticeable technical compromises and performance hiccups. Still, if you can look past those flaws, it’s an enjoyable experience—especially in handheld mode.

Castle of Heart: Retold is a remaster that tries to revive a title that originally struggled due to questionable design choices. It adds a handful of improvements in visuals, gameplay, and story, but lingering pacing issues and oppressive mechanics keep it from fully taking off. While its soundtrack has a few standout tracks, there’s little else that truly shines.

King of Meat is a title that, if it plays its cards right, has the potential to become a standout in the competitive multiplayer genre. 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.

Digimon Story Time Stranger stands out as an interesting title that returns to the roots of the JRPG and monster-collecting genre. Its story, while a bit convoluted, feels like a brand-new chapter of the series and manga, complete with charming characters.

While the difficulty isn’t much of a challenge, the game’s replay value makes it easy to keep coming back.

With The Ivalice Chronicles, one of the most acclaimed tactical RPGs returns, refreshed to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers. Featuring upgraded visuals, the inclusion of the original PlayStation classic, full voice acting for every conversation, and a redesigned interface, this edition stands out as one of the most complete to date. That said, Spanish-speaking players will definitely need to brush up on their English, since it’s essential here.

Dying Light: The Beast arrives as the long-awaited sequel after nearly a decade, bringing back the character who defined countless hours of gameplay. It feels like the most balanced entry in the franchise, blending classic elements with modern touches. The story could have been more engaging, and the visuals don’t quite reach current-gen standards, yet the engine impresses with its level of detail and the breathtaking landscapes of Castor Woods. With solid performance, extensive exploration, and the unmistakable tension of nightfall, it stands as an essential experience for fans.

Silent Hill f feels like it may have started as a standalone project before being folded into the franchise. Still, it carries over key elements of the series—psychological horror, trauma-driven characters, and a suffocating atmosphere—that work well and fit the concept. 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. There’s plenty of content to enjoy, especially with friends, and the charming cast pulls from both Sonic and other Sega franchises. It sticks to what works, but it does so well enough to make it highly recommended.

Its already outstanding gameplay and narrative now shine brighter thanks to enhanced visuals and performance, making this one of the definitive editions of Square Enix’s title.

Borderlands 4 delivers fast-paced action, next-gen visuals, and excellent PC performance with impressive use of DLSS 4. Its engaging story, charismatic characters, and a diverse set of activities will keep fans hooked but replaying can feel less exciting over time. Post-launch content promises to keep the chaos alive on planet Kairos.

Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is a bold move for the franchise, venturing into the MOBA genre with a result that works and is fun to play, but still needs a bit more refinement to reach its full potential. Improving character balance, refining the interface and adding more interaction with the environments. Still, fans of the series are going to enjoy it.

Silksong is the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, expanding on its predecessor both in story and gameplay. It charms with a more agile protagonist, a world that’s a joy to explore, and a soundtrack full of standout tracks. Still, the difficulty can feel a bit over the top at times, which might put off new players and frustrate veterans. Even so, it remains an absolute must-play.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Star-Crossed World delivers exactly what fans would expect: enhanced visuals, reimagined levels, increased difficulty, and three new “Mouthful” abilities. While it doesn’t reinvent the original experience, it injects a welcome sense of freshness and smoother technical performance. A modest yet enjoyable expansion for long-time fans.

NBA 2K26 stands as the best entry in the series to date. Visual Concepts has further refined the gameplay, delivering greater realism and a more balanced reward system for the benefit of players.

Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots marks the return of the beloved golf series, bringing back its charming and distinctive arcade style. It remains a lighthearted, fun, and accessible experience, offering a variety of modes, quirky touches like dynamic weather and wild events, and a vibrant, colorful aesthetic.

However, performance issues and underwhelming visuals keep it from truly taking off. Still, it delivers a distinct experience for fans of the genre.

Super Robot Wars Y is tailored for fans who enjoy being part of the story and have a passion for tactical RPGs. It strikes a solid balance between complex systems and their execution, all wrapped in a visually appealing style. While it doesn’t reinvent the formula, it builds upon its strengths and enhances them.

This remake stays very faithful (perhaps too faithful) to the original work, preserving both the story it’s known for and its core gameplay. However, it features noticeable graphical improvements, a new over-the-shoulder control scheme, enhancements to the camouflage system, and refined stealth mechanics. While it doesn’t introduce major changes, it still stands as an essential title.

Mafia: The Old Country shines with its narrative, atmosphere, and characters, marking a return to the gangster series’ roots. While its technical performance isn’t flawless, it’s far from the mess of the third installment. The fast-paced, straightforward gameplay suits those looking for something uncomplicated. That said, despite its open-world appearance, it’s actually quite linear—a solid experience that could have reached greater heights if its technical execution had matched its ambition.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers brings its own unique flavor to the crowded Soulslike genre without reinventing the wheel. Its atmosphere and intriguing mechanics are part of what makes this title stand out. However, it still needs polish in the technical department, and the limited enemy variety holds it back. Even so, it’s a game worth keeping on your radar.

Gradius Origins delivers a solid dose of nostalgia in a well-curated collection of this legendary franchise. It offers enough to stand out from other retro compilations, especially with the inclusion of the previously unreleased Salamander III. If you're looking for a challenging experience and a piece of gaming history, this collection has it all.

Edens Zero, as an anime-based title, manages to capture the essence of the original work, though not without flaws. Its charming story and straightforward gameplay do the job, but outdated graphics and a lack of depth might turn off players looking for a more robust experience. It’s a game made for fans — and hardly for anyone else.

As a sequel, it successfully delivers fast-paced, visually striking, and highly entertaining combat. While it feels somewhat like a continuation of the first game, it brings several gameplay improvements and a story mode that covers three major arcs. It remains a title clearly aimed at fans, but it's still enjoyable for any fighting game enthusiast.

Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV remains a fun and engaging party game, now featuring more minigames and improved visuals tailored for the new Switch 2. However, to fully enjoy the experience, players will need to purchase additional accessories not included with the console. This means an extra investment on top of the game’s $79.99 price tag.

Nintendo Switch 2 gets what may be the best pro wrestling game to date with WWE 2K25. Visually, it outperforms the weaker entries seen on the original Switch and holds a solid 60fps for most of the experience, with only minor hiccups. Nearly all of the content from other platforms made it into this version, except for the controversial cross-platform sharing feature. Still, it remains highly enjoyable and one of the most complete wrestling titles on a Nintendo console.
