    Rivenaar's Grove
    Rivenaar’s Grove is a compact sliding puzzle game where you play as a magician’s apprentice harvesting crops across 50 levels. Its clean visuals and clever mechanics, like portals and hazards, create engaging, but short-lived challenges. While enjoyable in bursts, the limited content and scope leave it feeling modest overall.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia
    Ultimately The Rogue Prince of Persia is an exceptional roguelite that honors the legacy of its franchise while forging a new identity that boasts stylised graphics, decent audio and strong gameplay that works perfectly on both the Steam Deck and a PC that will make you come back for more, provided you don’t get too frustrated from the roguelite nature – kudos to Evil Empire!

    BOULDER DASH 40th Anniversary
    A lovely time spent with an arcade classic; this game continues to provide decent entertainment to gamers young and old while not sacrificing legacy. Just don’t come in expecting a revolutionary change for a decades-old title.

    Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest
    Overall, it was an enjoyable experience for fans of the original Still Wakes the Deep. Although I can’t see myself coming back anytime soon, I can say that I will recommend it to others who are looking for a good horror story. A good narrative and atmosphere, but if you’re looking for deeper mechanics or an absolutely terrifying monster, I would look elsewhere.

    Mad Skills BMX 2
    Mad Skills BMX 2 brings fast-paced, side-scrolling BMX racing to Switch with smooth momentum-based controls, flashy stunts, and plenty of content to master. Career mode, challenges, and local Versus keep the action varied, while customization and upgrades give players reasons to keep pushing forward, even if the grind can feel steep at times. With colorful environments, satisfying sound design, and addictive gameplay, it’s a fun and energetic ride for both casual sessions and competitive streaks.

    Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game
    A cozy gaming, niche snapshot into the life of a Hobbit, and done well. Presentation and execution can use a little work, but overall a solid encapsulation of a day in the Shire.

    Madden NFL 26
    Madden 26 is the best Madden title in decades, a gorgeous game with stellar physics and powered by awesome AI playcalling. Forget the previous two years and jump on this one yesterday.

    Maiden Cops
    Overall Maiden Cops is a serviceable game for a Beat ‘em up as long as you don't expect anything revolutionary you should have a more than pleasant time. It's also a short game with only 6 levels meaning it does not waste your time and a play through can be done normally within 1-2 hours. The Pixel art is well done if you can handle the fan service characters you should enjoy this game.

    Echoes of the End
    Echoes Of The End does have a lot of good points. Visually it does not disappoint, the magic can be fun to wield, and the puzzles add a nice little change of pace. The combat is generally enjoyable enough, if a little awkward, especially targeting magic abilities with camera angles in the midst of battle. If you can put up with its little quirks and occasional glitches (I once seemed to manage to get myself stuck inside the landscape and was unable to move or even see the world properly), it does offer a nice little bit of fantasy storytelling and might be worth your while. If you are easily frustrated by games that sometimes seem to work against you, maybe give it a miss.

    Endzone 2
    Endzone 2 is an evolution of the formula set in the previous game. Not all the changes land, but overall it's an improvement over the original game.

    Hungry Meem
    Hungry Meem is a quirky and chaotic strategy sim that blends resource management, exploration, and creature care into a deeply layered, if sometimes frustrating, experience. Its unique systems feed into one another in interesting ways, creating a gameplay loop that can be both rewarding and overwhelming. While technical issues and repetitive pacing hold it back, there's a strange charm to helping your oddball Meems rebuild their world beneath the World Tree.

    Mafia: The Old Country
    Mafia: The Old Country doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does take players to a beautiful new locale for a full-fledged Mafia game like any other - and possibly the best one yet. The Old Country makes for a sublime addition to the series.

    My Friendly Neighborhood
    My Friendly Neighborhood is the kind of creepy I like; it takes the mundane and twists it just enough to feel threatening. It’s also the kind of game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve, a silly mix of Resident Evil and Sesame Street with a hint of Bioshock. Which, unfortunately, extends to a final act that doesn’t quite live up to the promise of its earlier chapters. Regardless, there’s still a lot to love about this fuzzy fright fest, and if you’re a less violent Resident Evil variation, or simply something as silly as it is spooky, you can trust the Szymanski’s to tell you how to get to My Friendly Neighborhood.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
    The new games delight, but the split between Jamboree and TV dulls the fun.

    Donkey Kong Bananza
    Donkey Kong Bananza is a must play title for the Nintendo Switch 2 console that is a highly enjoyable reimaging that will leave you reeling with so many “wow” moments that makes it an essential title for this console. Apart from the destructive capabilities of DK, I really enjoyed the new gameplay brought to DK thanks to Pauline’s magical abilities that provides some fun and unexpected power-ups for our favourite hominoid. So, with its stunning visuals, immersive sound design and clever level design, this game proves that the “big guy” still has what it takes to be a king of the jungle or in this case, the king of the planet’s core.

    Death Relives
    Death Relives is an ambitious survival horror game that blends Aztec mythology with immersive gameplay concepts, but its execution is uneven. While the atmosphere, sound design, and mythological elements stand out, the overuse of artificial intelligence, particularly in the companion app and character imagery, undermines its sincerity and immersion. Despite some clever mechanics and moments of real tension, technical issues, clunky design, and awkward storytelling keep it from fully delivering on its potential. It’s a unique experience with strong ideas, but one that ultimately falls short.

    The Necromancer's Tale
    The Necromancer’s Tale is a dark, narrative experience that leans into atmosphere and story over instant gratification. Its slow pace and layered systems won’t appeal to everyone, but for those willing to be patient, it offers a world that feels menacing, tense, and strangely intimate. It stumbles now and then, yet it in its best moments, it evokes a sense of power that becomes dangerously addicting.

    No Sleep for Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files
    No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files is a charming and often chucklesome mystery, with a cast of endearing characters and some truly devious puzzles. Though narratively it may not be the best place for newcomers of the Somnium Files to start their journey into the mind-melding world of Kane Date and co. Puzzle and adventure fans will find a lot to love unravelling Dates’ devilish escape room, regardless.

    Killing Floor 3
    To justify buying the game now, you’d have to have supreme confidence in Tripwire (whose team has changed dramatically since KF2), and assume that they’re treating this like an Early Access game, but realistically, it’s better to wait and go play the other games in the meantime.

    Luto
    Luto is a masterful psychological horror experience that transforms grief into a living, breathing environment. Developed by Broken Bird Games, it delivers a deeply emotional and atmospheric journey that challenges players to confront loss through surreal landscapes, intricate puzzles, and haunting environmental storytelling. While it shares DNA with titles like P.T. and Visage, Luto carves out its own identity through bold narrative choices, exceptional audio-visual design, and a powerful sense of introspection. It is not only one of the most memorable horror games in recent years, but a standout achievement in how video games can explore emotional depth with intelligence and originality.

    Tamagotchi Plaza - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    If you’re hoping that Tamagotchi Plaza has something worth playing on your new Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll be royally disappointed. All you’re subjected to here are a series of minigames that don’t offer fun, rather they’re more likely to offer disappointed sighs because there’s no challenge here, and more criminally than that there’s no juicy meat on its bones, just dissatisfying morsels. Tamagotchi Plaza would be forgiven if there was more going on and if it didn’t feel so unrewarding to play. There is some charm to the characters and the dialogue, and you might find the rap battle to be a tad cool, but everything else is so workmanlike that it seems to peel itself away from the audience it is most-likely to entertain-children. You might come into Tamagotchi Plaza feeling like you’ll be lightly entertained, but all too soon you’ll reach the conclusion that there’s barely anything here that’ll keep your attention for long.
