Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is some of the most fun you can have on Nintendo Switch 2, but even with the justification that you might want to return to the game or replay it on Nintendo Switch 2, the high price makes this a game you will probably spend more than you'd like on.
Personally, I loved the story of Shuten Order, and I think it’s a game that deserves to be played. However, there’s one thing that’s practically shooting itself in the foot: the translation, which can’t stay consistent and gives the impression that a quality‑check was missing to make it perfect. That said, if you’re looking for a story that will get you hooked, then it’s definitely a game I can recommend, especially for those who appreciate the tone that Too Kyo Games knows how to deliver.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is much more than just a simple remaster of the original on Nintendo DS. The amount of work that went into this is more than I could've ever asked for, and I will forever die on the hill that this game can actually stand as its own title, not just as a shadow of its DS counterpart.
Arcana Famiglia Rinato is a game with a very interesting proposal, that's for sure. I really enjoyed the attempt to represent the story in an animated manga format. However, in just about everything else, the game is lacking, with a story that takes a long time to conclude, as well as a very poor translation quality, make me not want to recommend this title to anyone.

Wild Hearts S brings an experience that is shockingly close to the Monster Hunter franchise. I must admit that, I went into this game with somewhat low expectations at first, but I'm happy to report that it met them and perhaps even more. While it is a shame that this version is isolated from the PlayStation and PC releases of the game, I do think it's a game that's quite worth it at the price of 50 US dollars, especially in the current market trend of 70-80 US dollar games.

If you've always been curious to play the Patapon series but never had the chance to do so before, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay is certainly the ideal game for you to take your first steps in the series. With well-done graphics, the developers of this port have done a much better job than the remasters previously released on PS4. I had a lot of fun with the game, but I confess it's not the kind of game I'd want to buy right now, especially considering that I have no nostalgia for the original.

It’s undeniable that a lot of love and effort were poured into Persona5: The Phantom X. The developers over at Black Wings Studio definitely did their homework, providing an experience that gets shockingly close to the Persona series. It isn’t a game without its faults. though. While the Palaces may feel a tad linear at first, and the grinding may veer off some players, the story more than makes up for it.
BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster is finally out of "3DS jail", and now gamers have the chance to play this beloved classic on Switch 2. However, and I can't say this lightly, it seems to me that this game was only taken out so Square Enix could say they had a launch title ready for the Switch 2 sometimes. It's not a bad game, I want to make that clear, but in 2025, Bravely Default is going to have a hard time standing out, especially with its story.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is perhaps one of the most different and unique games in the entire series, for better or worse. The game plays like a dream on Nintendo Switch 2 for the most part, offering a 60FPS frame rate and clever use of the Joy-Con 2's mouse capabilities.
Mario Kart World is a game that had everything going for it. A new concept, a vastly more powerful console... but it has some design choices that I just can't understand. And of course, I have to talk about the elephant in the room. It's a game that costs a whopping 90 dollars in Brazil. [...] So is this a game that is worth 90 dollars? Unfortunately, that answer is no, at least considering the amount of content it offers at the moment. Now, if the game was only 60 dollars, then I could recommend it. Because if you don't care much for the interconnected tracks or the new Knockout Tours, then Mario Kart World falls apart really quickly, as it leans very heavily on the concept.

Even after playing for several hours, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S isn't exactly an easy game to recommend. Don't get me wrong - it's definitely not a bad game, but rather, one that has a bit of an entry barrier for beginners, especially in its story mode. The extra modes that the Switch 2 version brings honestly don't add much to the game itself, and I think SEGA could definitely have released this as an Upgrade Pack, and maybe finally released the Switch 1 version on the Brazilian eShop. I wouldn't recommend it to newcomers, except if you find it at a sale, but I can see a Tetris or Puyo Puyo expert getting a kick out of it.

FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time really lives up to its name in many ways. This game is so addictive that it's very easy to simply forget about time and spend hours and hours playing because there's so much to do. It's like having three completely different games in one, and the delays really show the care that has gone into ensuring a well-polished game.

7'scarlet is a decent otome game, and one I have both love and hate in equal measures. Its story manages to bring out a tinge of suspense, but not to the point of being good, especially as many of its plot points do not conclude properly. The romance is also lackluster at times, but credit where credit's due, this game's backgrounds are some of the best I've ever seen in an otome game.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a graphically beautiful game, but despite its glowing potential, it does little to innovate within the RPG genre. The lack of navigation tools makes exploring its world incredibly frustrating, and the story only starts to get interesting near the very end.
Blue Prince is a game that you can easily get yourself engrossed with. What appeared to be a simple game turned out to be one full of surprises around the corner, making it a must-play game for puzzle and roguelike fans alike.
Atelier Yumia is a great starting point if you've never played an Atelier game before. There's this constant feeling of discovery as you go through each and every spot marked on the map. It does have some rough spots, but Gust is on the right path if their idea is to make future titles in this open world format.
After Genso Manège, I thought PQube had finally put in more effort, but we unfortunately got our first faux pas of 2025. If you intend to get Him, the Smile & bloom, it's more recommended to wait until the publisher's patch is available, as the game's story may be short but has great potential.

Warriors: Abyss is Omega Force's attempt at breaking into the rougelite genre. There is some fun to be had, but ultimately, the game lacks potential in a lot of cases. With poor boss battles and limited gameplay features, you're better off spending your time elsewhere unless you are a die-hard fan of Warriors.
I can safely say that Genso Manège is a great otome game. Despite its font issues and some slight translation issues, they are minor, especially when compared to the other problems that I've seen with PQube's offerings from last year. The story and character design is also great.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a good sequel to a beloved series that introduces a lot of good ideas. Still, it's a game that falls flat in its storytelling, going a bit too over the top, resulting in something that is hard to get engaged with.
