EA Sports FC 26 on Nintendo Switch 2 finally delivers a full-fledged football experience for Nintendo players. It offers deep modes, impressive visuals, and fluid gameplay, even with its 30 FPS cap and sluggish menus. Ultimate Team still leans heavily on microtransactions, but the Career Mode and the new gameplay styles elevate the experience far beyond what we’ve seen before.

Acre Crisis is a short game that needs polishing around the edges, but manages to be atmospheric, tense, and full of suspense in true classic survival horror style. Perfect for those looking for a retro experience that captures the nostalgic feel of titles like Dino Crisis and Resident Evil while playing in similar way as Trespasser: Jurassic Park.

Pokémon Legends ZA is a genuinely fun game that makes significant strides forward, even if it doesn't quite reach its full potential. It brilliantly expands the exploration of a returning Lumiose City, masterfully plays on nostalgia, and introduces a fresh battle system. While the Pokédex is more curated, the addition of new Megas makes the selection feel meaningful.

Dead by Daylight: Sinister Grace transports players to Thailand, beautifully bridging tradition and modernity. The Krasue is a powerful Killer who introduces fresh strategic possibilities, while Vee proves a solid Survivor—one poised to challenge fan-favorites for a place in the community's heart.

Absolum brings a fresh new look to both beat 'em ups and roguelites. With incredible combo gameplay and a mechanic-rich fighting system, it's crafted just the right balance between the two styles, making the experience both light and casual, yet without compromising or hindering the experience a beat 'em up should be.

Bahamut and the WaqWaq Tree is a pretty hidden gem in the vast ocean of Metroidvanias. It introduces a fresh style of gameplay, and although short and with some technical issues, it offers a calm and thoughtful journey, as well as a welcoming window into Arabian culture. It's well worth your time.

Sonic Wings Reunion is a short and simple game that delivers some good fun, especially when played with others. However, the lack of an online mode, no real innovation in gameplay, and the absence of additional content (at least we get some remixed tracks!) make Sonic Wings Reunion a game you’ll probably enjoy for just a few hours before it ends up back on the shelf.

The Everybody's Golf franchise has seen better days, especially in previous entries where performance, ethics, and game design were taken more seriously.

Baki Hanma: Blood Arena is visually well made, since it takes assets directly from the anime, but it falls short in everything else considered minimally acceptable. The intentions are good, but the product itself is too lazy and limited.

Unlike many games of the same genre, LEGO Party! manages to masterfully apply the Mario Party formula and introduce some fun minigames with unique personality.

After a 14-year hiatus, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance returns with a fresh formula, flawless art direction, and a more accessible experience for new generations. The game does have room for improvement (especially in its story) but nothing that detracts from the fun and compact campaign.

House of the Dead 2 Remake returns as a zombie; its gameplay style perfectly suits the current Nintendo console, being a challenging arcade classic with plenty of action and violence straight out of the 1990s. Despite the difficulty, its campaign is quite fun and perfect for a game night.

Star Wars Outlaws is an amazing port and yet another proof that next-gen ports are far superior to what we got on the Switch 1. With stunning graphics, fluid gameplay, and stable FPS both in docked and handheld modes, this Ubisoft masterpiece delivers an incredible open-world experience set in the Star Wars universe, between Episodes IV and VI of the beloved sci-fi franchise. The game features a dense and vibrant world full of activities, borrowing well-executed elements from series like Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid. It’s a standout title on the Nintendo Switch 2 and an incredible experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Ritual of Raven is a refreshing twist on the farming sim, blending witchcraft and agriculture into something genuinely new. While it can be frustrating at times, its creative gameplay and compelling characters make it well worth your attention.

Silksong offers an experience that blends enchantment with certain frustrations. The game keeps the player engaged most of the time, sparking curiosity with each new map explored. I recommend Silksong especially for Metroid enthusiasts, but not for all players.

It seems that XSEED Games has not prioritized innovative mechanics, but instead the publisher's focus remains on bringing titles from the past in new outfit without leveraging the full potential of certain mechanics.

Street Fighter 6 arrives on the Nintendo Switch 2 with jaw-dropping performance, bringing all the excellence of the fighting game that’s now seen as the peak of the genre. And the best part? You can take it anywhere and throw down whenever you feel like it.

Tiny Bookshop is cozy and welcoming, full of friendly and interesting characters ready to share their stories in exchange for book recommendations. A unique sales simulator that not only encourages you to learn about books but also perhaps encourages new readers.

After years in the making, Tales of the Shire brings the life of a hobbit to video games: peaceful, cozy, unhurried, where your biggest concern is what to serve for second breakfast. If that sounds like your idea of paradise, the Shire is waiting.

Tactical Takedown is a product that is anything but TMNT. In a few minutes, I can see an absurdly generic atmosphere and lack of identity in this game that, despite its name, has nothing that makes it TMNT — c'mon, you can't even play with the four brothers on the same stage.

Coming out of nowhere, Heretic + Hexen is an excellent game for fans of classic FPS, packed with extras, great gameplay, and many multiplayer modes to enjoy, along with achievements and development bonuses. It missed some opportunities, such as bringing Hexen II to the table and improving the weapon-switching system, but it still remains a great game.

Super World Technos is a collection that serves as an example of how not to make a collection: With laziness and sloppiness.

Gex Trilogy is a package that brings back the Gex 2D and 3D trilogy, but leaves too much to be desired when it comes to improvements.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered is the prettier version of the PS Vita game, but without significant additions that does the job of attracting more than just fans of the series. In addition, there are very missed opportunities as a local co-op, since the gameplay is very repetitive.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact is a compact game with little content, but with very competent and well executed fighting mechanics.

Here is another indie that relies on the Overcooked formula, but does not seem to understand what made the saga so successful.

Spy Drops is a charming stealth espionage game with a nostalgic feel and concise gameplay. However, the lack of polish, poor AI behavior, and randomly generated stages that always feel the same make the game boring very quickly. It has good ideas but is poorly executed.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead is the worst chapter BHVR has released in a while. Not because of the characters - they’re well-made, with original voices and cool interactions, plus at least two genuinely useful Perks - but because of everything around the release. The update is a mess: packed with bugs, riddled with stability issues, and with all the communication issues, it gets even worse. BHVR dropped the ball hard this time. Here’s hoping they can rebound sooner rather than later, because right now, playing DBD is a sad balance between fun and frustration.
