If you’ve been missing the days of classic Telltale games, Dispatch is practically a must-play. In its first two episodes, the game already shows strong potential, plenty of charm, and sharp writing — balancing humor, drama, and strategy with a kind of lightness that’s rare in the genre. [Review in Progress]

Neva represents a slight change of direction for Nomada Studio, moving away from subjective art and embracing a clearer style without leaving emotion aside. The addition of more complex parkour and combat shows the developer's commitment to improving and evolving its content, seeking to present its works to a larger player base.

This is the best way for newcomers to experience the game for the first time, or for longtime fans to enjoy it all over again. It’s worth noting that the War of the Lions version is still available on PS Vita as well as on Android and iOS devices. Unfortunately, the price is still quite steep on those platforms, so waiting for a discount on The Ivalice Chronicles might be the best way to play Tactics nowadays.

If the excellent core of Xenoblade Chronicles X that didn't need to be renewed wasn't enough, such as its vast and excellent combat and RPG mechanics, a living and highly explorable world, and an excellent and addictive soundtrack, Monolith Software's remaster also manages to get the right improvements to revitalize the game for the Nintendo Switch. Whether you're a veteran of the game or, like me, a newcomer wanting to explore the world of Mira for the first time, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition truly lives up to its name as the ultimate version to experience what can easily be considered one of the best JRPGs available for the Nintendo Switch.

Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics promises a satisfying experience for beginners and veterans alike. Fighting games from this era are known for being challenging, but there are several conveniences here that allow all types of players to have fun without headaches.

Unicorn Overlord presents a healthy and balanced mix between combat and exploration, naturally integrating these two crucial aspects of gameplay. Generous in content, the game can easily take a hundred hours, depending on how engaged you are with the optional challenges.

Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition could easily become the definitive version for a lot of people – myself included – as it lets us play with current-gen quality while enjoying all the conveniences of the Switch 2. It may not be the most visually impressive version of Street Fighter 6, which doesn’t take away from its merit as a brilliant port, but it’s the only one that lets you practically jump into a quick ranked match during a family lunch.

Packed with homages to the original, Silent Hill 2 Remake faithfully modernizes the gameplay of a classic for new audiences, while still delivering enough surprises to justify its existence. It’s a love letter to longtime fans, and the definitive version for newcomers.

Mario Kart World is the perfect game to pick up if you're a big fan of the series or if you get the chance to buy the Switch 2 bundle that includes it. Otherwise, I think it's totally fine to wait a bit longer and keep enjoying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe—for now, at least—until you find the new game on sale. Either way, once you do get your hands on it, I can assure you that Mario Kart World will be one of those titles that stays with you throughout the entire lifespan of the Switch 2.

Despite moving away from the formula of The Sands of Time saga, the new Prince of Persia does not make an effort to introduce new ideas to the genre. Instead, the game is satisfied with providing a great experience, packed with the spirit that made the series famous in the past.

There’s no better way to put it: Ghost of Yotei is more Ghost of Tsushima. It’s a sequel that sticks closely to what worked in the original game, with an emphasis on its engaging open world and even more stunning visuals. The narrative quality leaves a bit to be desired, and the combat—though more versatile—also has its repetitive moments, but the experience remains one of the best gaming has to offer when it comes to samurai games.

Embark took their time developing ARC Raiders, and the end result is spectacular. There are, indeed, some problems, but everything indicates that they will be resolved over time.

Silent Hill F is not just a return — it’s a reinvention. Neobards and Konami have managed to bring the series back into relevance without relying on recycled formulas, opting instead for a fresh Japanese setting, a complex protagonist, and a combat system that defies expectations. It’s an approach that surprises while still respecting the franchise’s DNA.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the third installment in the spin-off series, but the first to truly stand on equal footing with the main series. In scope and ambition, Twisted Reflection is as big as Monster Hunter Wilds, even with some inconsistent moments in combat and side activities. With Stories 3, Monster Hunter remains sovereign as Capcom's most consistent product.

After more than 13 hours of climbing (and much more gameplay overall, considering my failures), Cairn proved to be a special game, very consistent with its premise. It became clear, after some time, that it doesn't try to please everyone, but delivers an intense, fun, and quite original experience for those willing to play at its pace.

With about 20 hours of campaign, Enigma of Fear was a good surprise in 2024 and brought that "Brazilian sauce" to a very competitive genre. Despite having some negative points, I'm sure they are all aspects that can be improved in the future.

At the end of the journey, it's hard not to be moved by the tribute behind Master Lemon and its beautiful story about friendship, memory, and the value of words. More than just a unique Brazilian game, the title reminds us of the transformative power of art—capable of synthesizing pain into something beautiful, and grief into an eternal legacy.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater may not be the remake new players expected, but it is a love letter to longtime fans. It is a respectful modernization of Kojima's legacy and his history with Konami.

Frostpunk 2 brings excellent gameplay additions and also elevates its predecessor visually and in terms of immersion, although this is expected due to the migration to Unreal Engine 5. Overall, 11 Bit Studios does an excellent job with the new entry in the franchise, taking everything that brought it success six years ago and expanding it to new heights.

Super Bomberman Collection brings all the conveniences that a classic game collection needs, without adding or taking away anything. After recovering from a pachinko overdose, Konami finally seems to have mastered the art of preserving its intellectual properties. I hope the company persists with this initiative, as its treasure trove is still full of relics that deserve to be rescued.

Earthion is a gift for fans of classic shoot ’em ups and a passionate tribute to the 16-bit era, complete with all the charms and quirks that come with it. Its soundtrack is a standout on its own, the visuals are gorgeous within its style, and the difficulty will delight veterans seeking a real challenge.

The great challenge for Team Ninja with Nioh 3 was to take a solid foundation already beloved by fans of the franchise and elevate it to a new level alongside the industry’s major titles. Although I believe this goal has not yet been fully achieved, Nioh 3 represents the consolidation not only of the franchise but of all the work Team Ninja has developed over the years. The result is a game that, while not perfect, easily stands among the best soulslike titles in the industry, making it a recommendation not only for longtime veterans but also for anyone who has yet to experience what Nioh has to offer.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is more than just a competent adaptation—it's a true stress test for the Switch 2’s hardware. Thanks to CD Projekt Red’s technical “sorcery” in making the port happen, the game showcases what Nintendo’s hybrid console is capable of in this generation. More importantly, it offers a glimpse into the kind of relationship the Japanese company hopes to build with third-party developers. If firepower was what the Switch 2 needed, there's nothing quite like Cyberpunk to prove its combat potential.

Some experiences must be lived through for the fullness of their message to reach—or at least attempt to reach—your imagination and touch you in some way. Skate Story is like that. But since the goal here was to give you an idea of ​​what to expect, I can say lightly that this is a game worth playing.

The Alters is a unique experience in the world of video games, blending a variety of different elements to deliver a cohesive, polished, and thought-provoking product. It’s the kind of story that could have come from the mind of a great science fiction writer—but its impact is only truly felt when you step into the shoes of Jan Dolski.

A game like Two Point Museum is a very easy recommendation for those who like management games and enjoyed the last two titles in the series. Considering what the project has to offer in both campaign and sandbox modes, I would say that the price on PC and consoles is also very reasonable compared to other games of this type. However, it may be worth waiting for a sale if you are in doubt or have a tighter budget.

Overall, I think the changes and new features were enough to make the game much more enjoyable today, not to mention the incredible visuals provided by HD-2D and the unforgettable art by Akira Toriyama. Other than that, I think if you give Dragon Quest III HD-2D a chance, you'll be really surprised by how innovative it was and everything it was able to deliver as a small NES game in 1988 and, now, again in 2024.

Honestly? If you’ve got any kind of emotional attachment to the series, Salamander 3 alone makes the collection worth it. Gradius Origins doesn’t just bring back the golden age of shmups—it celebrates 40 years of the most influential and prolific franchise in the genre. Even if this style of game doesn’t carry the same appeal it once did, at least Konami made the effort to keep it alive in our memories.
