The Switch 2 port finally brings a major title from the 2010s to a Nintendo console and, despite some hiccups, makes an important work in the medium's Western history accessible. For the Nemesis System alone, the experience is very easy to recommend.

I feel that for every improvement over Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War introduces a new downside. Distinct maps, yet a repetitive loop. New enemies, but a stretched-out story. I still believe it is a highly worthwhile experience—even though the narrative conclusion is, to put it mildly, a letdown—and having the Middle-earth duology on the Switch 2 is a fantastic gift for Nintendo fans who love Tolkien.

Acknowledging that the Nintendo Switch 2 version has room for improvement in no way invalidates what is a really great version—one that, even with some caveats, has become a personal favorite.

Two Point Hospital: Full Health Collection works very well as a simulator because it turns small decisions into situations you can actually track. Moving a room, hiring someone, or rearranging the benches affects the hospital's operations, and seeing patient care improve is a reward in itself.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is yet another excellent remake in the Trails franchise. Although it doesn't introduce many new features, the title refines all the ideas that have worked well in the series so far and serves as a model for any developer looking to recreate their classics for modern platforms. Iconic moments have been lovingly recreated, and the conclusion to Estelle and Joshua's story remains one of the best narrative experiences the genre has to offer.

Para mim, talvez o maior trunfo de Fortune’s Weave seja justamente conseguir condensar quase 40 anos de Fire Emblem em uma experiência que equilibra o clássico e o moderno.

Cupid Parasite is proof that not every otome game needs to be dramatic and depressing to offer a romance with captivating characters and an execution that is sure to make players laugh.

Flamecraft offers a relaxing, fun, and friendly gaming experience, whether played solo or with family and friends. The game features beautiful visuals and, while slightly challenging at first, becomes very satisfying once you learn to pull off combos and create the best combinations in the shops. However, because the gameplay lacks significant unpredictability, it can eventually become repetitive after a few sessions, prompting you to switch to a different game during a party or get-together.

More than just capturing a rare natural phenomenon, our journey to the Festival is shaped by the friends and experiences we gather along the way—much like life in the real world. It is both funny and sad to think that the game’s biggest weakness is having to say goodbye to it too soon. That alone demonstrates just how good Toem 2 is; anyone who tries it will find themselves wishing for a little more of that delightful, fun black-and-white world.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising Legendary Edition is a high quality fighting game with a good variety of characters and modes to experience. The Switch 2 version is a very satisfactory way of entering this universe and take part in the hot battles of an already-present community thanks to Crossplay.

Recommending Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age over the series' more recent releases is particularly apt, given how well the game balances the franchise's traditions with modern sensibilities. It was the final entry in the series to be released while its three creative pillars—Yuji Horii, Koichi Sugiyama, and Akira Toriyama—were all still alive, making the game even more special beyond its sheer excellence.

SiN Reloaded brings one of its generation's most overlooked "boomer shooters" back to modern platforms, featuring the comprehensive improvements Nightdive always brings to its re-releases. The title, however, still retains much of its original DNA, including certain design choices from its era. The developer could have made an extra effort to add features that might have further enhanced the experience, but what we have here is already a good way to experience this quirky game.

BIRDCAGE is the first game developed by POLYGON BIRD, showcasing great care, polish, and—above all—a mechanical understanding of the genre that is enviable for a debut studio, which only heightens my excitement for the studio's future titles.

I did like the game, but it didn't surprise me. It's cool and fun—it makes you want to keep playing [...] But everything could be better.

My impression is that Kyle Thompson created something designed to appeal to all kinds of audiences, and that is a huge plus. Overall, if I had to use one word to describe Well Dweller, I’d say it is—by far—really “fun.” Give it a play!

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is a worthy sequel that retains basically everything that makes the first game wonderful, while adding a little extra flavor to the experience to justify a follow-up.

Culdcept The First Saturn Tribute is a great opportunity to see how the series started back in the 90's. All the seeds of what makes Culdcept such a curious and compelling experience were already there and the re-release helps make things more comfortable, though there are still a few elements that could have been better.

A Investigação Póstuma is an investigative adventure with a creative concept, a unique setting, and plenty of personality. The combination of a noir Rio de Janeiro, characters inspired by Machado de Assis, a jazz soundtrack with bossa nova influences, and a time-loop structure works well to create a distinctive experience within the Nintendo Switch library.
