No, I’m Not Human thrives on atmosphere, weaving paranoia and dread into every knock at the door, and its shuffled characters and multiple endings give it strong replay value. It’s not a game of polished mechanics—its testing restrictions are frustrating and its bugs are noticeable—but for $14.99 it delivers a tense horror experience that sticks with you.
Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 offers the full scoundrel package but it’s undeniably a step down from other platforms. Visuals take a hit, performance is capped, and smaller frustrations like restrictive saves feel more pronounced here. Still, the heart of the game remains intact: tense stealth, shootouts, dogfights, and the bond between Kay and Nix. If you have access to PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, those versions deliver a sharper and smoother experience. But for players limited to the Switch 2, this port is a serviceable—if not definitive—way to live out your outlaw dreams.
The Order of Giants expands Indy’s world in The Great Circle with care, offering strong storytelling, atmospheric design, and a polished gameplay loop. Yet uneven combat balance, weaker puzzles, and a slightly constrained setting keep it from perfection. What it does well, it does with confidence, and it makes this DLC a worthy addition that proves great expansions don’t need to reinvent the wheel to succeed.
Cronos: The New Dawn is a striking survival horror experience that excels in atmosphere, storytelling, and exploration, immersing players in a bleak yet captivating world. While combat pacing and resource frustration prevent it from reaching absolute greatness, its strengths far outweigh its flaws.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World is familiar, cozy, and just a little shinier than before. The upgrade smooths out performance, makes those transformations pop, and wraps everything in an extra layer of polish with a bonus adventure that’s light but worth a spin. It’s not rewriting the Kirby playbook or flexing the Switch 2’s muscles in a big way, but honestly? It doesn’t need to. For anyone chasing colorful worlds, hidden goodies, and that classic Kirby charm, this is still one of the pink puffball’s best adventures.
Mafia: The Old Country isn’t the longest, flashiest, or most replayable game—but what it offers is clarity. This is a lean, linear mob drams focused on story, atmosphere, and character. It knows exactly what it wants to be, and it doesn’t waste your time getting there. If you’re after a grounded narrative with a clear creative vision, The Old Country delivers something memorable.
Death Relives is the kind of game that makes you question your life choices because of the slow drain of wasted time. Its ambition is buried under poor execution, lifeless AI integration, and half-formed mechanics. Even its better ideas, like the puzzles, are let down by clunky design. There’s simply nothing here worth your time, money, or patience.
Abiotic Factor stands out in the survival crafting genre by fusing humor, tension, and sci-fi absurdity into a deeply replayable experience. It’s clever, strange, and thoroughly satisfying, but not without its rough edges. Several mechanics are left entirely unexplained, and playing solo can feel overwhelming without companions to share the burden. Yet despite its flaws, it’s an experience that thrives on discovery, rewarding those who approach it with curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
Luto is a masterclass in psychological horror atmosphe—rerefined, personal, and haunting. It lingers not through terror, but through tension. However, immersion falters at times due to rough edges like placeholder text, untranslated lines, and puzzles that verge on the inscrutable. It's a powerful experience, just shy of perfection.
Wild Hearts S is the Switch 2 version of the original and is a solid monster-hunting game with a strong identity, thanks to its Karakuri building system. But a shaky camera, finicky combat, and a paper-thin story weigh it down. As a port, it brings little new to the table—so unless you’re a first-time player or a handheld-focused hunter, it’s hard to recommend a second purchase.
The Wandering Village marries survival and city-building atop a living creature with charm and originality, but genre quirks, flat storytelling, and a few design snags keep it from soaring. It’s a thoughtful, well-crafted game—just one that asks you to overlook some rough edges.
Eriksholm is a quiet, deliberate journey. One that grips not through spectacle, but through emotional weight and precision. Its dedication to methodical stealth, evocative storytelling, and meticulous visual design creates an experience that feels both intimate in scale and grand in intent. Yet, its unforgiving structure and limited room for experimentation may leave some players behind. What it offers is polished and poignant, but not universally inviting.
Nice Day for Fishing is a game with a charmingly absurd premise, surprisingly fun fishing-based combat, and a world that feels handcrafted for laughs and lighthearted discovery. But while the first impression is strong, the pacing falters. Progression can feel like a slow trudge, with repetitive quests and a late-arriving fast travel system that adds unnecessary friction. It’s delightful in bursts, but not consistently engaging throughout.
Tamagotchi Plaza is delightful in the moment, but fleeting in memory. Its charm is immediate—bright, nostalgic, and effortlessly engaging—but the magic thins fast. With shallow story beats and mini-games that lose their luster, it’s a game that is entertaining, but not enduring.
PEAK is short, sharp, and brutal—in the best way. Its tight mechanics, clever co-op design, and devilish biomes make every climb memorable, even when the servers don’t hold up. While bugs and communication issues occasionally get in the way, the game’s charm and challenge more than make up for it, especially considering the price. This is the kind of game that doesn’t just test your reflexes—it tests your friendships, and somehow makes that feel rewarding.
Chapters 3 & 4 push DELTARUNE into bold new territory—richer storytelling, creative gameplay shifts, and a soundtrack that still stuns. Chapter 3’s underwhelming pace may divide players, but the series’ heart and mystery remain stronger than ever.
DELTARUNE Chapters 1 and 2 are clever, charming, and full of promise—but not quite the emotional knockout UNDERTALE was. The story’s bigger, the combat’s smarter, and the characters shine, but Chapter 2 doesn’t follow through on the cliffhanger Chapter 1 left us with. It’s a beautiful work-in-progress, already outshining many full games. We’re just still waiting for that “wow” moment to pull it all together.
F1 25 strikes a strong balance between convenience for casual players and depth for racing enthusiasts. It refines the gameplay and storytelling from previous entries while introducing enough new features to keep the experience fresh, though it doesn't radically reinvent the series. Minor frustrations like repeated engineer messages and a sense of annual iteration prevent it from scoring higher, but overall it delivers a polished and engaging motorsport simulation.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master delivers a stylish and atmospheric drifting experience, wrapped in a crafted open world with solid customization options. But uneven mission design and slippery mechanics keep it from crossing the finish line at full speed. Drift enthusiasts will find fun in its corners, but those craving a deeper, more polished racer may be left wanting more.
The Precinct is an engaging and atmospheric neon-noir cop simulator that, while not without its flaws, delivers a unique and satisfying experience. Its combination of immersive city patrols, crime-solving mechanics, and customization options make it a compelling addition to the genre. The game's occasional partner quirks and interruptions in the dispatch system might detract from the experience, but they don't overshadow the overall enjoyment. If you're into gritty crime thrillers with open-world gameplay, it's definitely worth considering.
