Dead or Alive 6 Last Round is the definitive version of Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja's fast-paced fighter, but there are some aspects of it that are a little disappointing, such as low quality story scenes and a lack of cross-play.- GameSpew

The brilliant gameplay of Devil May Cry 5 hasn't aged one bit, making this Devil Hunter Edition of the game, packing in extras such as playable Vergil and more, a must-have. With its great visuals and solid performance, the only real disappointment here is the lack of some additional modes found in the previous Special Edition.- GameSpew

Emotional and poignant, Deer & Boy is much more than a tale of friendship between the two wonderful protagonists. This platforming puzzler has a lot in common with the likes of Limbo and Planet of Lana, and if you're a fan of games of their ilk, you'll do well to give this one a go, too.- GameSpew

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a treat for fans of action RPGs such as The Legend of Zelda and Alundra, with plenty of exploration to be done, dungeons to conquer, and weapons and spells to acquire. Some may find it a little simplistic in ways, but those who get engrossed in the adventure it provides will undoubtedly love it.- GameSpew

Zombutcher will delight lovers of the macabre, Sweeney Todd fans in particular. It's just a shame that it's not the most polished of experiences, and after just a few hours, the repetition starts to sink in.- GameSpew

With new modes and features aiming to better onboard players, as well as an improved Career mode and upgrades to the core combat experience, EA Sports UFC 6 is the most entertaining and authentic representation of the sport yet. The new museum-like Hall of Legends is a great addition, too.- GameSpew

Draw Me A Pixel is back with a clever and unusual adventure, this time following Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson as they puzzle their way through a glitching video game. There's a lot to love here, but the stretchy control gimmick is not going to be for everyone.- GameSpew

The 2026 Season pack for F1 25 is pretty much a must-have for fans of the sport, keeping the title as authentic as it can be with regards to teams and regulation changes. But caveats such as Co-op Career not being supported will no doubt be disappointing to some.- GameSpew

An action roguelike with a gorgeous hand-drawn art style, Realm of Ink is a very welcome addition to a somewhat crowded genre. Fast-paced combat and a wealth of unique skills make this a standout entry into the space, with a solid permanent upgrade system keeping you coming back for more.- GameSpew

An emotional blend of story and puzzle, Swan Song is a game that's going to pull at your heartstrings. Its puzzles are well designed too, with only the odd one that's likely to frustrate.- GameSpew

You Know the Drill is a game about mining for gems with the simple aim of earning money to allow you to drill more effectively. It's pretty basic, but sometimes simplicity works – and for anyone who enjoys a casual game, consider this to be $4.99 very well spent.- GameSpew

House Flipper Remastered Collection is undoubtedly the best way to play House Flipper: it looks better, its features have been refined, and it bundles up a huge amount of content. But when the far superior House Flipper 2 exists, this still feels like a step backwards.- GameSpew

Square Enix has done a great job bringing the full Final Fantasy VII Rebirth experience to Switch 2, with streamlined progression options making it more accessible than ever. It's just a shame that there are some noticeable compromises when it comes to visuals, with pop-in being the worst of them.- GameSpew

If you're after a light-hearted take on the popular sport, chances are you'll have fun with Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! It has some issues, such as repetitive music and a lack of online multiplayer, but with a solid roster of playable characters and a decent selection of modes, it's certainly worth a look.- GameSpew

A first-person horror game viewed through a body-cam, It Reaches has some neat ideas and provides some genuine scares during its five hour running time. It's also rather unpolished and occasionally frustrating, however.- GameSpew

Whether you're five or fifty-five, Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen is a joyous, easy-to-play adventure based on the popular Australian cartoon. With a unique hand-drawn art style and an entertaining, original story to boot, it's an absolute treat. It's just a shame it's not fully voiced, meaning kids who can't read well by themselves are going to miss out on the story.- GameSpew

A retro-styled 8-bit action adventure, there's a lot to like about Mina the Hollower if you don't mind a challenge. But unforgiving combat, accessibility options that lock out achievements, and lack of any guidance makes this a more frustrating experience than it should be.- GameSpew

A puzzle game requiring you to pick up vehicles and objects with your forklift truck and move them to their correct places, Do You even Forklift? is quite quirky and rather fun. It's not all that deep, though, and some may find it soon becoming quite repetitive.- GameSpew

It may be simple, but the core gameplay loop of Scale the Depths manages to be so satisfying that it keeps you coming back for more. A watered-down Dave the Diver, the repetitive act of fishing and upgrading is seriously rewarding – as long as you don't mind slicing open some fish along the way.- GameSpew

This remake of an arcade classic isn't for everyone, thanks largely to its high level of difficulty that makes it simply feel unfair at times. Those that do have the patience for FZ: Formation Z, however, will likely appreciate the verticality of its stages, as well as the fact you can transform freely between a robot and a fighter jet.- GameSpew

While Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is described as a first-person horror adventure, it's actually more of a laid-back experience with a grotesque visual style. There are some enjoyable puzzles to overcome here, but on the whole its gameplay is rather basic. Still, with a running time of just a few hours, it provides a night's worth of entertainment for anyone who enjoys all things macabre.- GameSpew

007 First Light has everything you could want from a Bond game: fist fights, shootouts, epic set-pieces, car chases, subterfuge, and more. There are some minor issues, such as the game's cover system being a little finicky at times, but on the whole this is a must-play for Bond fans as well as those who simply enjoy a good action game.- GameSpew

Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition brings the latest and one of the best entries in the Tales series to Switch 2. The inclusion of the game's story expansion as well as additional extras make for an impressive package, with the only real disappointment being 30fps gameplay.- GameSpew

Cats and Seek: Tokyo is yet another hidden cats game, but if you're not bored of the genre yet, there's plenty to love here. You'll get five levels to pore over, as well as some neat art functions to let you get creative. Given the game's ridiculously low price, it's an absolute must-have for casual game fans.- GameSpew

Some games are better left in the past, which Rugrats Retro Rewind Collection proves with aplomb. This barebones collection presents six games from between 1998-2001 and with no work done to bring them up to modern standards, they're absolutely no fun to play today.- GameSpew

Table Flip Simulator certainly won't impress you with its visuals, and eventually its gameplay may get a little monotonous. It's undeniably great fun throwing random objects at everything and everyone just to see what happens, though. And under the right conditions, finally flipping a table can be very cathartic.- GameSpew

Bubsy 4D is definitely an improvement over the last 3D outing for the wise-cracking bobcat, but there's still lots of room for improvement. Both the camera and controls will feel like your biggest enemy here at times, and unless you're into speedrunning the experience may feel rather brief.- GameSpew
