    Darius Cozmic Collection: Arcade
    With a near-perfect emulation of the original classics and the possibility to change nearly every parameter possible, this is just what the 2D shoot'em-up enthusiast needs. It's true that adding collectible extras would be welcome and the compilation would be even better if it included G-Darius, but being focused on the 2D legacy of the series, Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade is more than worthy of featuring on every shoot'em-up fan with a Nintendo Switch.

    Nekopara Vol. 4
    Nekopara Vol. 4 continues the series of Visual Novels with the particularity that unlike most of its peers, there are no multiple endings here, but that's not necessarily negative. This chapter features a marvelous visual presentation, as well as a plot full of comedic and absurdist elements that will amuse everyone, though its risqué elements can feel exaggerated sometimes.

    Resident Evil 7: biohazard - Gold Edition
    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition is a very competent port of an amazing game that shows the Switch 2 can handle such endeavours without issues. Playing RE7 on the go feels like the game has finally taken a much welcome step forward when it comes to atmosphere and immersion, and the experience really benefits from being played as a handheld game and with a headset. On top of that, the inclusion of its DLCs with Gold Edition make this an unmissable release.

    MIO: Memories in Orbit
    MIO: Memories in Orbit is an exquisite looking Metroidvania that plunges the player in a sci-fi adventure where the plot is drip-fed and the typical mechanics of the genre work exactly as they should. The start feels rather slow and underwhelming but as the game progresses, we find ourselves thinking the opposite, which makes MIO more suited to experienced players. Thanks to a flawless technical performance on the Nintendo Switch 2 and fine-tuned controls, MIO always feels right to play, and some of its difficulty barriers are addressed by the game's options.

    Gloomy Eyes
    Simple and accessible, the main asset of Gloomy Eyes' cooperative, single-player gameplay lies on solving its succession of puzzles and challenges while keeping track of what surprises the plot will bring us next. Although the camera could use improvements, Gloomy Eyes shows how it is possible to tie an animated movie to an adventure game and to keep us holding on to the very end, not because we are scared but because we want to see and do more.

    GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition
    GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition shows that it's possible to do an intense and fun racing game that joins an arcade experience with precise driving. The game comes with a healthy variety of choices and game modes and enough flexibility for players who want to create their own experiences, though the lack of competitive multiplayer of any kind is difficult to understand. Fans of racing games will be very satisfied nonetheless, as GRID Legends on the Switch 2 is a sharp and solid experience, with plenty to look forward to and a very competent technical performance.

    Huntdown
    It doesn't quite stand out for its originality, but the gameplay experience is more than satisfying, with frantic action, a good visual world, enjoyable soundtrack and plenty of cheesy dialogue lines. With an additional layer of fun if played with two players, Huntdown on the Nintendo Switch is a recommended game for anyone looking for a fun and action-packed arcade experience.

    CrossCode
    Cross Code is a marvelous 2D action RPG that features an interesting idea of a game-within-a-game and which treats the player to a lovely visual environment that recalls the 16-bit era right away, versatile combats, appealing dungeon exploration and plenty of freedom to wander around. Its occasional performance flaws, already under rectifying action, are not enough to tarnish the experience, which is one of the best to be had among RPGs in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    ScourgeBringer
    The combat is fun and the combos available make the experience more engaging, while the game's presentation is a charm to look at, with extra points for its phenomenal soundtrack. At the same time, ScourgeBringer has nothing particularly new that can set it apart from its roguelite peers, and its difficulty level can sometimes feel unnecessarily exaggerated.

    Wonder Boy Collection celebrates 35 years of the Wonder Boy series by bringing together four of its most popular games, including one that had never been released outside Japan before. Thanks to a competent work of emulation and to a stable performance, the experience runs smoothly. Extras such as saving anywhere, rewinding the action and screen visualization options make this a user-friendly experience that contemporary players appreciate. While there was room for more content, what we have here is quite good for fans and newcomers alike.

    Cursed to Golf
    Obviously based on golf, the platforming, puzzle and roguelike elements make a very creative twist on the sport of stroking a ball towards a hole. The difficulty level is high, the ball gets additional properties, the game's ambient is comically sombre, and the soundtrack is exquisite. All this put together creates an original and very rewarding experience for all Nintendo Switch players.

    Move or Die: Unleashed
    This collection of frantic minigames does just that - players are strongly encouraged to keep moving or they risk losing their game, and Move or Die: Unleashed does a great job at this. The action is crazy and constant, and while this is no visual feast, Move or Die: Unleashed is a marvelous formula for anyone who would like to spend a few hours with their friends, local or online, engaging in absolutely crazy minigames of different kinds.

    Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg keeps itself very loyal to the original, even with a transition from 2D to 3D but the game's main mechanics remain overwhelmingly the same. This is worthy of praise, as the result is very positive and acts as a great introduction for new players as well as a pleasant return for fans of the Atelier series. Its renewal was carried out very competently, and its relaxed environment will facilitate the experience for those who want to play at their own pace.

    Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX
    Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy DX is an improved approach to this RPG with an alchemy-based gameplay mechanic. This DX edition improves on several technical issues, and the improved and more stable framerate and picture quality on the Nintendo Switch 2, as well shorter loading times, are a major step forward when it comes to an improved experience. Add to that all the additional content that is now accessible with the game, rather than scattered over several DLC packages, and this DX edition is indeed the best and most complete version of Atelier Ryza 2, for both newcomers and veterans alike.
