Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is a proper Sega celebration that looks stunning on the new hardware. The CrossWorld dimension swapping keeps you on your toes, and the sheer amount of characters, with more like Nights and Minecraft on the way, is massive. It’s more of a challenge than Mario Kart, even if the AI cheats like mad sometimes, and the track transitions can chug. It’s a fun, tight arcade racer that rewards the grind for Donpa tickets without asking for real cash. Not quite as addictive as the classics, but it’s a true great for the series that every Switch 2 owner needs to check out.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits on the Switch 2 is a total cracker despite the few technical niggles and fiddly controls. Its presentation and general atmosphere are that of a Disney film in many ways, and I lost so much time to the game as I just got absorbed all over again. Despite finishing it before, I can never say no to another run through. It’s a vibrant, engaging adventure that looks and plays brilliantly on the new hardware. If you want to see the land restore life and colour while playing with your customisable Rot squad, this is a must-play. Just be prepared for a slow start and some awkward camera moments when the action gets heavy.
While it has some sluggish controls and a loop that can feel a bit thin when you’re too prepared for customers, it’s a proper relaxing time. It’s got that “one more day” pull if you just want to scrub some junk and make a bit of coin without any pressure. If you want a hand-drawn zen experience and don’t mind the mouse-style cursor, it’s a solid bit of fun.
Maintains all the charm and playability of the original games, but the move to 3D brings a whole new challenge. The levels are well designed, and the mechanics are simple but devastatingly painful to pull off. It is a very difficult game, so be warned, and it is very reflex-based. I had a lot of stressful fun, and it’s the type of game I come back to here and there when I feel like feeling like a failure. If you want a 3D platformer that rewards precision and punishes mistakes instantly, this is it.
It’s been a long time since I finished a game and then immediately went back to play it again. Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! is totally sorted and a massive win for fans of the flick. The pixel art is proper boss, and even though the lack of multiplayer is a bit rubbish, the carnage on offer is top-tier. Playing as a bug is a godsend for the motion sickness, and the whole thing is just brilliant fun. You’d be a total melon to miss this one. Get it bought!
Pokémon Pokopia is a total time-sink that will destroy any free time you have, think Animal Crossing daily chores, but they don’t ever end! It is a game that encourages you to play how you want, whether you’re digging deep into the ground or building up high. Between the massive Pokédex, the Habitat dex, and the constant supply of daily challenges, the game gets very addictive as you try to find everything. It’s accessible, it’s deep, and finding underground shortcuts or new Pokémon by accident is a proper buzz. If you want a game that you can just lose yourself in, this is the one. Pure quality.
It is a technically impressive game, both in looks and in depth. I really like the text and menu structure, although it is not always easy to use, it looks the part. It is really impressive how much data and gameplay are in here, and it still maintains a high-end looking interface and story. While the performance has its issues and the lack of a pause button or proper text sizing will sting, the loop of dropping in, harvesting, and building through those massive mission trees is addictive. It feels like a proper big-budget survival experience, even with the rough edges. If you can handle the jank and the tiny text, there is a massive alien world here waiting to be conquered.
Homura Hime is a volatile mix of swordplay and bullet hell that creates a hypnotic rhythm for any action fan. While the massive difficulty spikes during boss fights and the heavy reliance on reflex-based parrying can kill the momentum, the flashy combat and responsive controls keep you coming back. It’s a world where every strike carries weight, and even if you’re just button-mashing, you’ll look like an absolute badass doing it. A solid, stylish 3D brawler that survives its own chaos.
iRacing Arcade is my new go-to racing game because it hits that perfect middle ground between precision and arcade driving. It looks gorgeous with its cartoon-style 3D tracks and offers a career loop that feels rewarding as you level up your motorsport HQ. While the lack of tuning and automatic-only gearbox might annoy the hardcore sim crowd, the pure fun of the handling makes this a must-play.
PGA TOUR 2K25 on the Switch 2 is a satisfying and technically impressive golf sim that manages to bring the full console experience to a handheld without losing its soul. The tight controls and deep MyCareer mode provide plenty of reasons to keep coming back, even if the VC ads and lack of accessibility settings sour the experience. It isn’t perfect, especially with those long loads and occasional graphical hiccups, but for pure golf gameplay, it’s the best you can get on the move and is still very impressive.
Capcom proves once again that they understand Nintendo hardware inside out. Resident Evil Requiem delivers slick performance, sharp visuals, and a brilliantly smooth survival‑horror ride on Nintendo Switch 2.
Lil Gator Game Gator Of The Year Edition is wholesome, charming, and packed with freedom to play how you want. It is excellent for kids, full of creativity, and offers a bright world with fun abilities and a lot to do. While it has drawbacks like no map, no control remapping, and some features unlocking too late, the overall experience is warm, playful, and easy to enjoy. The DLC adds a lot more to explore, new abilities, and a huge underground area that expands the adventure even further.
Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is a vibrant and lovingly assembled celebration of a platforming classic. The amount of content, the quality of the enhancements, and the excellent history section make it easy to appreciate how much work went into this collection. Despite a few frustrations and missing features, it is a great way to rediscover Rayman or experience it for the first time. It is nostalgic, colourful, and still a lot of fun to play.
Earnest Evans Collection is a quirky revival of three retro titles that still carry a strange magnetic charm. Despite the frustrations, the limited visibility, and the lack of modern features, the package offers a solid slice of retro adventure with multiple versions of each game, quality‑of‑life overlays, and a museum full of extras. It is a great little collection, especially for players who missed these games back in the day and want to rediscover their chaotic energy.
No Sleep For Kaname Date becomes a rewarding and engaging experience once you settle into its rhythm. The puzzles feel satisfying, the story pulls you in, and the mix of investigation, escape rooms, and exploration creates a memorable journey. It takes time to get your head around, but when it clicks, it delivers a strong and immersive adventure that keeps you wanting to see what comes next.
Fighting Force Collection is a good little set that brings two influential 3D brawlers back into the spotlight. Despite story issues, awkward mechanics in the second game, and some dated design choices, the core fighting still feels great. Smashing up furniture, blowing up vehicles, pulling off combos, and battling through waves of enemies remains fun, and the collection does a solid job preserving what made these games stand out. It is a nostalgic, chaotic, and enjoyable return to a pair of games that helped shape the 3D beat ’em up genre.
Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is a fast, stylish leap forward for the long-running saga. It blends high-speed racing with deep customisation and a globe-trotting sense of adventure. While not perfect, it delivers a fun and addictive experience that fans of arcade racers and car culture will enjoy. If you want a road trip that mixes pure speed with personality, this one is worth jumping into.
There is a lot to like in the stealth action, the open world structure, the movement, and the puzzle-like enemy encounters. When everything works, it can be funny, tense, and rewarding. But the technical issues, inconsistent stealth takedowns, and rough signposting hold it back. It is a game with strong ideas and enjoyable moments, but also clear frustrations that shape the overall experience.
The Run is a gripping interactive movie that delivers great pacing, strong production value, and a branching story that rewards curiosity. Despite some limitations in settings and accessibility, the experience remains compelling, replayable, and full of surprises. If you enjoy FMV games or narrative-driven tension, The Run is absolutely worth diving into.
Nova Antarctica offers a charming, endearing, and adventure-filled survival journey with plenty of crafting, exploration, and world-building. It has a lot of great ideas and a strong sense of atmosphere, but the rough edges, UI frustrations, and mechanical inconsistencies can hold it back. There is a rewarding experience here, but you need patience to push through its quirks.
