    MIO: Memories in Orbit
    MIO: Memories in Orbit is a beautifully crafted and atmospheric Metroidvania that rewards exploration, patience, and skill. Its strong visual style, fair challenge, and smart progression systems make it a standout indie title. Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong in particular will find a compelling and memorable sci-fi adventure here.

    Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare
    Even though it does not quite offer the detailed world and feature depth of the second game, the original Red Dead Redemption is still an amazing game that hooks you with its story and characters from the beginning and never lets up.

    Cult of the Lamb: Arcade Edition
    The fun roguelike mechanics combined with the ressource management aspects make Cult of the Lamb an absolutely worthwhile game for anyone with an interest in the genre.

    Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
    While Rogue Trader is a brilliant roleplaying game with incredible depth both in player expression and a gripping world, the Switch 2 version is unfortunately inferior to all other plattforms due to the restrictions of the console’s hardware and poor optimisation. This either needs steep discounts, numerous patches or both.

    Skate Story
    In the aspects where it counts, Skate Story absolutely rules. It’s a joy to play once you get used to the controls, it oozes style, the vibes are tremendous and the soundtrack is out of this world. It suffers from the aforementioned control issues and its enormous weirdness might be a turn some people off but overall it’s just a genuine blast to play.

    Men in Black: Most Wanted
    Men in Black: Most Wanted is pretty much what’s on the cover. A fairly generic VR shooter with a pretty well done MIB coat of paint. It’s far from a disappointing VR cash grab, but falls short in terms of new ideas and technical prowess. For fans, it’s safe to grab, but everyone else can wait for a sale.

    Farming Simulator: Signature Edition
    Farming Simulator: Signature Edition offers virtually the same content as Farming Simulator 25 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, with mostly the same strengths and weaknesses. However, the visual downgrade on the Switch 2 is already too noticeable. Furthermore, there are serious performance issues that severely impact both playability and enjoyment.

    ROUTINE
    If you like slow and deliberate horror then Routine is an absolute must. It’s positively dripping in atmosphere and does a tremendous job of immersing you on this seemingly lost place on the moon. It looks great and offers incredible music and even better sound design. When it comes to the gameplay it is unfortunately rather bland. It does what it does pretty alright but it never reaches the heights it offers in its other elements.

    Octopath Traveler 0
    Octopath Traveler 0 delivers one of the most polished and engaging pixel RPG experiences of the year. Its tactical combat, rich cast of characters, and emotionally grounded village-rebuilding system create a deeply satisfying adventure. The lack of German localisation is a major drawback, but anyone willing to read a lot of English will find a beautifully crafted and surprisingly dark journey worth every hour.

    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a worthy successor to the classic first-person adventures of Samus Aran. The blend of shooter, puzzles, platforming, and exploration works well, although the core gameplay is somewhat linear. What most of the regular combat lacks in style, the superbly designed bosses more than make up for.

    The Berlin Apartment
    If you ever wanted to learn more about the city of Berlin and its history or if you just want to enjoy a short but smart and emotional narrative game then you should look no further than The Berlin Apartment. While the gameplay is too simplistic and doesn’t really elevate the stories that are told it rarely gets in the way of enjoying the story of Berlin and the people that lived there during several times of human and political turmoil.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
    Call of Duty Black Ops 7 delivers fast, satisfying gunplay, strong map design, and an atmospheric Zombies mode that brings fresh ideas to the formula. While not groundbreaking, it’s a polished and enjoyable entry that fans of the series will have plenty of fun with.

    Kirby Air Riders
    Kirby Air Riders had a lot of potential as a fun racer, but it squanders much of that potential through an excessive reliance on randomness and questionable controls. Is it a totally bad game? No, it isn't. But it's not a truly great one either, and so far, it's the weakest exclusive title for the Switch 2.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide
    SpongeBob Square Pants: Titans of the Tide is a family-friendly platformer that excellently captures the humor of the TV show. Anyone who likes the underwear-wearing sponge will love it, even though the gameplay challenge for advanced and expert players only really comes into play in some optional features.

    Lumines Arise
    Designer and producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi and his team once again proves that they are among the best at what they do. Again they take a simple yet addicting and deep gameplay premise and infuse it with sound and visuals that create an almost unique experience. While it has some small flaws outside of its main draw it is stunning, gorgeous and always exciting.

    Reach
    Reach already stands out from most of its VR competitors by offering a full game's worth of content and variety. While the core loop of puzzling and climbing is solid and is sometimes almost too immersive for VR beginners, the combat feels lacking throughout and slows the otherwise enjoyable experience down considerably. All in all, "Reach" is an undoubtedly fun experience, but feels like it's not living up to the full potential.

    Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack
    The Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack unfortunately doesn't overhaul the graphics or improve any general gameplay aspects, but it does release the trilogy as a complete package. And this package includes fantastic new content such as all DLCs, updates, new playable characters, and our highlight: new episodes/content featuring various characters, each experiencing their own little adventures in the world of Ryza.

    Wreckreation
    Wreckreation is obviously the most ambitious project of Three Fields Entertainment yet. It shows but unfortunately mostly in bad or boring ways. While the cars control alright and the placement of new track elements is great everything else falls off. You can never outdrive the other racers, no matter how good you perform. The crash sequences when wrecking other cars more often than not end in complete disaster and the world itself isn’t exciting either.

    Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Wheatflour Wonderland
    Hello Kitty Island Adventure is an adorable cozy game that focuses entirely on fans of Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, and friends. There's no stress here, just cute friends from the Sanrio universe and your missions. The Collector's Edition is a lovely addition, as it includes trading cards, a small guide, and posters for fans. However, it's quite expensive.

    Anno 117: Pax Romana
    Pax Romana is not only the most beautiful, but also the most profound ‘Anno’ game of all time. During the epic journey with Anno 1800, Ubisoft Mainz perfected its art, and the sequel tops this development. Fortunately, not everything is quite perfect yet, because we want to enjoy the upcoming DLCs as well. Anyone who thought that the ancient world was a rather dull topic is mistaken: Anno 117: Pax Romana brings the fascination of this era to life in every single minute.

    Sacred 2 Remaster
    Sacred 2 Remastered successfully revives a beloved German action RPG with improved visuals, smoother controls, and modern quality-of-life features. While the gameplay and story remain unchanged, the updated interface and full controller support make returning to Ancaria more enjoyable than ever. It’s a nostalgic trip best suited for fans of classic hack-and-slash adventures rather than those seeking a modern reinvention.

    TOEM: A Photo Adventure
    A simple game at its core, the camera mechanic and the change in perspective that goes along with it offers enough variety and interesting gameplay ideas to keep TOEM engaging and differentiate it from other games.

    Painkiller
    Painkiller is a completely solid co-op-shooter for three players that offers fast and fluid gameplay with some generic but ultimately varied and fun guns. Unfortunately everything else falls mostly flat. The look, level design, the story and characters are boring or very repetitive. If you can convince two of your friends to also get the game you will still have some very enjoyable and action-filled hours battling almost unending hordes of demons.

    Chants of Sennaar
    Chants of Sennar is one of those underappreciated games that deserve more attention. The developer had an ambitious vision for this game and executed it brilliantly. If you are into puzzle- and adventure-type games at all, you should not miss this.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a great crossover that combines the best aspects of Tecmo Koei's Dynasty Warriors and Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series. The mass battles are varied and spectacular, while the well directed story sequences deliver an exciting atmosphere and a deeper look into Hyrule's origins.

    Hitman: Absolution
    Even in 2025, Hitman: Absolution's iPhone release is still a stealth game worth playing. The core loop of infiltrating and finding the best (or quirkiest) ways to eliminate your target are as fun as they were 13 years ago, when the game first came out. This assassin is worth carrying around in your pocket.

    Tales of Xillia Remastered
    Tales of Xillia Remastered is one of the best in the series in terms of fighting gameplay – if not the best. The story, as always, offers plenty of content, while the world itself is somewhat less extensive. The quality-of-life improvements and a few extras definitely make this Tales of highlight from 2013 very playable now.

    Tormented Souls 2
    Tormented Souls 2 shows once again that developer Dual Effect can craft an impressive time capsule back to the horror classics of the 90s. While carefully modernized in some regards, such as adding more forgiving difficulty options that include auto-saves, it remains a highlight for those who miss the old school horror of Silent Hill and early Resident Evils. Though the very same adherence to classic game design and tropes may scare off those accustomed to the modern iterations of those series.

    Biped 2
    Biped 2 is at its best when you are sitting in your living room with a couple of friends and are looking for a fun time with a lot of laughs and maybe some shouting over miscommunications. If you are a solo gamer, there might be some more frustrating times ahead of you.

    Just Dance 2026 Edition
    If you need an excuse to get off of your couch while still playing a game then Just Dance will get you to do that. It offers a wide array of pop music from the last decades and when it works it works almost flawlessly. Unfortunately we had issues with the Controller App every now and then where the app wouldn’t connect or just not pick up our movements. It’s easily fixed but still a bit of a drag. On top of that the menus are a sensory overload that should be able to be navigated a lot more easily.
