This edition stands as the definitive version of one of the best JRPGs of recent years. Despite technical compromises related to frame rate and the chronic weakness of side quests, the epic tale of Alphen and Shionne shines thanks to rock-solid action, superb art direction, and a massive amount of content. A highly recommended purchase for both veterans and newcomers alike, perfect for passing the time while we await the saga’s next installment.

The arrival of *Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle* on Switch 2 brings with it all the magic and adventure of the original MachineGames title, but at a high cost. While the blend of exploration, puzzles, and action remains rock-solid and perfectly in line with the spirit of the films, the port suffers from significant technical compromises. Between frame rate drops, pop-ins, and obvious visual compromises, the game struggles to maintain stability, especially during the most chaotic moments and when playing in Dock mode. Setting aside the stealth AI, which isn’t always brilliant, it remains a great adventure, but purchasing it is recommended only if the Nintendo ecosystem is your sole gaming platform; otherwise, look elsewhere to enjoy the game in all its glory.

NITRO GEN OMEGA is a testament to DESTINYbit’s talent and boldness. The Italian studio sets aside traditional formulas to deliver a “handcrafted,” brutal, and magnetic tactical RPG. Although the narrative never quite takes off and some of the management routines between battles can feel repetitive, the beating heart of the game is a polished gem. It’s a technically sophisticated and deep experience that rewards precise planning and crew synergy, offering one of the most original takes on the mecha genre.

Two years after its release, TopSpin 2K25 remains a work in progress. With a controller in hand, it is the undisputed king of virtual tennis, offering a deep, meritocratic and exhilarating simulation. However, as soon as the umpire calls the end of the match, the limitations of an infrastructure stuck in the past become apparent, hampered by visually outdated graphics (due to its cross-gen nature), a roster that is still somewhat sparse, and the shadow cast by the requirement for a constant internet connection. If you love playing tennis, turning a blind eye to these minor flaws will be easy: it remains the only true tennis simulation on the market.

Demon Lord: Just a Block is a surprising tactical roguelite created by the solitary YuWave. Its strength is its original movement system: the world advances only in response to our moves, creating a deep and hypnotic gameplay loop. Despite an impressive amount of content (weapons, abilities, interactive biomes, and bosses inspired by classic games) and impeccable technical fluidity, the title suffers from uneven balance and completely forgettable graphics and sound. Overall, aesthetic limitations aside, it's a true indie "miracle" that demonstrates how a brilliant gameplay idea can outperform many other works in the medium.

MotoGP 26 improves on the series' content formula by focusing on where it matters most: the track. The new Rider-Based Handling delivers extreme realism, enhanced by fantastic sound and perfectly recreated bikes. Career mode adds depth with contracts, press conferences, and fun Race Off challenges. However, some minor issues remain: dated faces, repetitive podiums, and stale commentary occasionally break the immersion. It's a must-buy for true MotoGP fans.
