Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep A Fragmentary Passage is a nice prologue to KH3, while tying up certain loose ends… kind of. If you want to see more Aqua and have a nice quick journey, you'll enjoy this before jumping into the next main game.
Super Mario Party Jamboree continues the great trend that the past two Switch titles in the series started, and the new modes help make it stand out from the rest. It's not perfect, but there are plenty of ways to kill time and have fun with friends or online rivals while you play.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a triumph of both style and storytelling. Princess Zelda feels like a true protagonist and doesn't simply "take Link's place" in the adventure. The creativity of the "Echoes" system is wonderfully done for the most part, and most will definitely want a new adventure of this nature in the future.
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD does improve certain things from the 3DS game, which was already a fun time. However, between certain plot holes and overuse of certain gameplay mechanics, it can feel like a step back at times.
Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded is a cutscene-binge that doesn't really add much to anything outside of spearheading the next title at the very end. If you wish to know which games in the collection to skip, this would be one of them.
Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis was an interesting way to continue the story and bookend some “loose ends,” but whether it resonates with you will depend on how much you’re willing to grind to get “The Answer.”
The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection may not hold up like the rest of the Ace Attorney saga, but there's enough for long-time fans and newcomers to enjoy.
Birth By Sleep Final Mix was a game I really wanted to enjoy, but with huge shifts in the gameplay, a nonsensical story at times, and a trio of main characters that I didn't care much for, the game barely held my interest, and it was a relief to be done with it.
Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door is everything you wanted it to be on Nintendo Switch and more. Numerous quality-of-life improvements and additions help make the game both more fun and accessible to gamers of all generations.
Splatoon 3 Sider Order dares to do something different, but it comes at a cost. While some will enjoy the Roguelike characteristics of the game, others might be put off by how "light" they really are and the frustration that sometimes comes from it.
The Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy is a welcome remastering of classic titles. The graphics will make them feel more "modern," while the cases will eat up your time as you figure out the truth. Not everything is as refined as it should be, but this is something you won't want to miss out if you're an Ace Attorney fan!
Persona 3 Reload is everything that fans of the franchise wanted from a remake and more. It doesn't change the story but builds upon the various gameplay elements that have become staples in the games that came after. Plus, the story and characters are incredible, and you'll love getting to know them more.
The Super Mario RPG Remake is a good example of upgrading things while not going overboard with said upgrades. To that end, if you loved the original, you'll love the remake. But if you've learned to want "more from your RPGs," you might feel this one is lacking in certain areas.
Star Ocean The Second Story R is a beautiful recreation of a wonderful RPG. It gives players plenty of options and multiple viewpoints to try the story out on. If you're looking for a classic-style RPG to play, I recommend this one!

Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp is an incredibly faithful remake that blends the beloved gameplay of the original games with an upgraded visual style and fun new features. Whether you're a veteran or a green rookie, you'll have plenty to enjoy in the title.
The Last Of Us Part 1 on PC is easily one of the best versions of the beloved title. While not everything hits as it should, so long as you have a good PC to play it on, you'll enjoy the experience.
While it does have flaws, and totally looks/plays differently from the original trilogy, Bayonetta Origins shines as a worthy prequel to our favorite Umbra Witch. You'll root for Cereza throughout her journey, and be thrilled when you see her come into her own.
