Hitman World of Assassination - Signature Edition is a great entry point into third-party games on the Switch 2. It's lacking in a few important aspects, but it's a high-quality product that offers everything it had before and more, even with exclusive Mario-themed costumes. An intriguing story, excellent voice acting, a masterful soundtrack, and an absurd amount of gameplay freedom make this one of the best Hitman installments ever.

Even with small additions and no strong exclusivity reasons, Yakuza 0 remains an amazing game, with sharp gameplay, stunning visuals, an excellent soundtrack, and packed with things to do. But, above all, it tells a powerful story of honor, sacrifice, and duty, shaping young men and creating some of the most iconic personalities in gaming.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army shouldn't even be considered a remaster, given how many additions it has received, and should be considered a remake. Small details don't take away from its enormous quality as a re-release. Perhaps with the success of this game we'll see the sequel — and equally iconic — King Abbadon return with a new look and improvements as good as Soulless Army. Until then, Raidou has never been better against the army of darkness.

Is Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics worth the investment? I would say yes, but with caution. Despite the meager collection of games and its minimal preservation factor, it is still a collection of solid games and some of Kunio-kun's most entertaining secondary titles. It's not the best way to pay respect to Kunio-kun's legacy, but it is an intriguing selection to see a bit of Technos history.

Quick, fun, memorable and, above all, hilarious, this is an adventure that leaves you wanting more, especially as its ending leaves some open ends for yet another misadventure.

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is available in good shape for a new generation, one that is finally discovering the magnitude of its legacy and forming a fanbase around IHNMAIMS. Of course, some additional content, translation and touch support would be welcome, but just having this classic in your hands (literally) is already an achievement.

Despite the dire issues with performance, I can't say I didn't have fun with On Your Tail. It's an adventure in which there's nitid care in the world and narrative building, be it for its comfortable ambiance, charismatic characters, pleasant and intuitive gameplay or cool music. I hope the development team can fix these small hindrances soon because, when the game is looking pretty, it's as if we were in a vacation trip or, when it comes to artists, an art retreat.

Even with its issues and hitches, don't get me wrong: Sorry, We're Closed is a great and very fun game. Especially with its relatively short campaign and multiple endings, with some backtracking that may annoy some players, but that works for the concept.

Small issues don't diminish the big merit that Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars has by existing, reviving two PS1 era classics (with the second being considered the best JRPG in the console along with the timeless Final Fantasy VII) with excellent enhancements to improve the experience.

Tomb Raider IV-V-VI Remastered is a bittersweet ending to the classic Lara Croft adventures, bringing a really good game, an average one and a mediocre one that's below the British muse's legacy. However, the historic value of their preservation is undeniable, recognizing the past issues to create a beautiful future, like the franchise would do during its renewal years later.

Guilty Gear -Strive- is already considered one of the best current-day fighters and its addition to Switch, even if late, is very welcome. It may be intimidating for newcomers due to its high expressiveness, and bother veterans due to some gameplay simplifications, but it's a must-play for fans of the genre.

I've been following Laika: Aged Through Blood for two years now and eagerly awaiting its release on the Switch. As soon as I saw its premise and trailer, I fell in love with the idea, and once I got my hands on the bike's handlebars, I had an ethereal experience. I admit that the engine failing a few times was quite frustrating (having to wait a few minutes to continue the journey and then stopping again), but I don't regret all the landscapes I saw, the monsters I killed and seeing the daughter once again, after a long day of blood and death. It's a beautiful, unique adventure that will keep the persistent player engaged, even with slips and skids.

The Thing: Remastered isn't a bad game, nor a bad adaptation. [...] However, it'd be naive to say it's without fail or even one of the best movie adaptations in games ever. Frankly, a remake would have been better than a simple remaster, but it didn't ruin my day.

Even with its banal issues and marks [left by the passage] of time, Legacy of Kain is a unique and powerful adventure. Charismatic characters, a rich story and immersive universe, along with excellent ambiance and a fantastic soundtrack, are products of a bygone era that left its marks with somber narratives, but with a dash of hope.

Pine is a simple product derived from affection and [a] deeply personal [project], recreating powerful feelings from an artist who has faced pain looking for a new reason to live.

With an extremely interesting story, precise controls, well done retro graphics, and a powerful message (that's unfortunately still a thing in our society), this is a new jewel of indie horror.

Slay the Princess - The Pristine Cut plays with, destroys, and rebuilds stereotypes and other elements. Small issues that can be easily fixed don't diminish the value of this creative and impactful visual novel.

Loco Motive arrived suddenly, without much announcement or fanfare, promising nothing and delivering everything. A picturesque story, colorful characters, solid gameplay and glorious visuals, it is one of the best point and click games currently available.

Dagon - Complete Edition is one of the best works that draw inspiration on the divisive author, even humanizing him and bringing curious details of his life, with jokes and hobbies with friends (without delving into his retrograde thoughts, though). Even with a somewhat disappointing sound direction, slow loadings and a rather abusive price[...], it's a nightmare that fans, both new and old, will want to revisit to feel the thrilling goosebumps.

This is a lost title from the old floppy disc era, with an interesting concept, but that lost a good chunk of its identity due to questionable choices in its rerelease. It's a kind and beautiful game stuck in a thread of bugs. If the development team's goal is to finalize Twinsen's saga in a trilogy and remake LBA2, it'd be better to think about the present and fix the mess the game is in.
