    I'm blown away by how well Kena: Bridge of Spirits - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition holds up, especially considering it released almost 5 years ago and I had just as much fun playing through it now than I did back then. Slight visual downgrade aside, this is a near-perfect port.

    I had a very good time revisiting the DS classics in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and it's such a lovely compilation that it's sure to charm you with its excellent cast of characters, oodles of extras, and welcoming assortment of settings.

    These Nintendo Switch 2 Editions have all been very impressive but Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park is the most jam-packed one to date, especially with its super-imaginative multiplayer challenges and epic Koopaling encounters.

    I loved playing through New Super Lucky's Tale - PlayStation 5 Edition which marks my 5th time with this adorable modern 3D platformer and, hey, I still enjoy it so that says a lot! Plus, did you see how cute those owls are? We need a game that stars those chums.

    Ariana and the Elder Codex is a gorgeous game that's full of so many unique spells and enemies that you'll constantly be excited to uncover more of its lovely game world as you power-up and become the swankiest librarian in the realm.

    Etrange Overlord is one of the most unconventional RPGs that I've ever played and despite its repetitive gameplay, there's a lot of lighthearted fun to be had as you gradually upgrade your chums and take in all the fun-filled musical moments with its charming cast of goofballs.

    Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a great tactical stealth game that has not only held up wonderfully on its own, this new Nintendo Switch 2 release is the definitive way to play it on console so definitely get it if you enjoy challenging strategic gameplay.

    Collector's Cove shows you what it would be like to run a farm on the back of a swimming dinosaur and with its rewarding gameplay loop, it will make you want to keep coming back for more gentle good times.

    I ended up thoroughly enjoying my time with GreedFall: The Dying World but it certainly isn't for everyone, especially impatient folks who aren't willing to let it grow on them as they carefully tinker with the wealth of options and gameplay systems.

    If you want an adorable puzzler that's on the easy side then give Rail Rescue: Puzzle Lines a go but it's not for those who love a challenge.

    I had a solid amount of fun with Fortuna Magus but it can feel bare-bones at times with combat and cute art being the stars of the show.

    Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse is one of my new favourite 2D action games thanks to its clever combination of gameplay structures, consistently rewarding sense of progression, variety of enemies and skills, and gorgeous presentation that ties it all together.

    Despite its flaws, Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown is a fun and unique resource management sim. At first, I wasn't keen on the battles and the lack of voice acting leaves a lot to be desired but I eventually found myself addicted to this trek through the Delta Quadrant.

    The 2 additional Super NES games in The Disney Afternoon Collection - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition boost its overall value as they expand the sense of variety in very clever ways, especially with Goof Troop as that's a super-fun retro title that you can play cooperatively with a chum.

    I enjoyed playing The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest and had some laughs but its basic gameplay and small scope certainly make it feel limited.

    Tales of Berseria was a great entry in the series back when it originally released and it still is today. This is an excellent RPG to pick up if you're looking for a thoroughly entertaining story although the enhancements aren't anything to write home about.

    Considering it takes a long time to start getting really good, God of War Sons of Sparta can test your patience but if you stick to it, you'll find one rewarding Metroidvania with oodles of content, gorgeous areas, and a solid variety of enemies and puzzles.
