Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass Part 1 – Bubbly Basin is an easy recommendation for those who love the base game.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is a fantastic conclusion to Estelle and Joshua's chapters in the Sky series. The story is smart, with exciting reunions and dark moments that really stay with the player. You get to revisit and actually see the consequences of your past actions, where even smaller side characters are fun to see again. The core cast is as strong as ever, a joy to hang out with. Combat stays fun and engaging, with small tweaks that make it even better than before. Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is a must-play for those who played its predecessor, and if you haven't, let this month's launch serve as a reminder to play 1st Chapter so you can experience 2nd Chapter properly.
Another Eden Begins is a great JRPG from industry legends, taking the gacha game and evolving it into something entirely its own.
This is a turn-your-brain-off-and-go-for-a-ride spectacle that occasionally punches above its weight. That works to some extent, but Marvel’s Wolverine doesn’t live up to the creative standard Insomniac Games is known for, and Logan has never been known for playing it safe.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a great return for the franchise. Musashi is a fantastic new lead, with a supporting cast that shines.
Star Wars Zero Company is an incredible Star Wars game and a genuinely brilliant tactical RPG that you won't be able to put down
STEIN'SGATE RE:BOOT is good because STEINS;GATE as a story is, but doesn't make a great case as a remake. It has beautiful backgrounds but mixed characters.
Duskfade feels like a throwback to action platformers from the PS2 era, and while it stumbles in some areas, it's a lot of fun.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is everything it needed to be. The character designs and roster are fantastic, with deep skill expression for those willing to put in the time while being approachable to new players. It’s stuffed with content that actually rewards you with different colorways for playing.
Sovereign Tower is a fun and deep management RPG with great writing and a strong time travel mechanic that pulls at you, for better results or for worse.
Truck-kun Is Supporting Me From Another World?! is a fun, ridiculous subversion of the classic isekai trope that doesn't slow down.
Splatoon Raiders continues Nintendo’s hot streak on the Switch 2 and, for the first time, I’m excited about whatever comes next in the world of Splatoon.
K-Pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut is a disjointed and buggy experience that doesn't reward you for your choices, instead grounding everything in RNG.
Denshattack! simply rules, with imaginative and creative levels and bombastic bosses. It looks and sounds fantastic, plays great on Deck, and is something entirely new.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok takes a good game and makes it even better. The reworked and expanded cast are a ton of fun to use, the story is a blast, and the summons and master traits truly change up combat and party composition.
For those who have never played it, or even those looking to revisit a classic with new additions, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is a great way to go.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales could've been the next big action RPG, but instead, it feels like a lesser version of a game you've played before.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a delight. It’s perfect for both the young and the young at heart.
IO Interactive feels like they've found a new home in the James Bond franchise. 007 First Light is a blast, with a tense and enthralling narrative that punches way higher and harder than anyone could have expected.
Despite the visual issues, Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn Edition does feel great on the Switch 2. The trade-offs here are understandable, as having one of the best JRPGs of this generation on the go is fantastic. The base game feels as good as ever, with the expansion being a solid add-on
