The Switch 2 is now my console of choice for playing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, and it's still one of the best RPGs of all time.

Grid Legends: Deluxe Edition is a standout among a relatively small roster of Nintendo Switch 2 racing games.

There's a lot going on in Code Vein 2, so much that it arguably loses some of the charm of its predecessor, and yet it's still quite a fun experience.

Escape from Ever After is the Paper Mario style game I've been waiting for since the GameCube, with a seriously charming fairytale setting.

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven adds a whole host of new wintery content to one of 2022’s best games, and is a great reason to go back.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is a unique approach to the zombie genre, and while it can become repetitive, I still had a lot of fun playing.

Videoverse is a ridiculously charming coming of age narrative game, with an early internet setting that slaps you hard with nostalgia.

Cozy Caravan is real low stakes stuff, but if you can put up with the slow tempo then you’ll find yourself enjoying this warm and whimsical world.

MIO: Memories in Orbit is a stunning metroidvania with satisfying gameplay, set in an interesting science fiction setting.

BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW is far and away the most ambitious title in this series, and despite some faults it tells an engaging story.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is still my favourite Musou game, and getting to play it in handheld mode with few concessions is amazing.

Evocreo is a perfectly competent monster collecting game, but its lack of charm and derivative nature make it tough to recommend.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is wonderful alternative to normal person football games, with all the anime nonsense you could ever want.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes is a solid, good-looking, well-paced standalone story that's well worth playing through for fans of the main game.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a hugely entertaining experience with a gorgeous atmospheric world, but it just doesn't quite feel enough like Metroid.

While maybe not as spectacular as the main story, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimensions adds loads of content and Pokémon to the game.

Dunjungle is a fun and familiar Roguelike with smooth combat, plenty of punishment, and loads of content for those who want to play forever.

Storm Lancers is far from a bad game, but when held up against the titans of the genre it’s just not able to hang. If you’ve completely exhausted your Roguelike backlog (which admittedly I struggle to imagine is possible) then perhaps this sci-fi romp will excite you. For the rest of us though it’ll just make us dream of playing better games, and that’s a real shame.

Death Howl is a tough game that rewards your perseverance with more challenge, and for fans of iron-tough soulslikes and deceptively complex tactics games, it’s a definite gem.

If you’re into Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, then War Sails is a no-brainer purchase.

Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered International adds new language options to an interesting if somewhat flawed JRPG.

Octopath Traveller 0 can't quite live up to the peaks of the previous two games, but is a fantastic RPG in its own right.

Skate Story is a fantastic entry into the skating genre, not only by virtue of being unlike anything else we’ve seen before, but also because mechanically it’s just a very good skateboarding game.

Once again, as a package, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 provides plenty of throwaway fun and multiplayer mayhem.

A Pizza Delivery is a great concept that needed much longer in the oven. As it stands the game is half-baked, full of bugs and doesn't hit the emotional notes it's aiming for.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Switch 2 is an impressive port, and a very smooth handheld experience. It's a great way to play the game whether you're a first-timer or just looking for a portable replay.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion offers loads of variety in its stages and playable heroes, and is another stellar entry into the beat 'em up genre.

If you really don’t like spiders and all you want to do is squish them in a variety of silly ways in some bizarre locations, you could do a lot worse than Kill it with Fire 2.
