Starsand Island is a decent farming sim, however the Nintendo Switch 2 version is filled with so many bugs, it needs an industrial-grade insecticide to make it playable.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a decent enough port, but nowhere near the level of quality it should be for what the system is capable of.
Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns can still be a bit obtuse at times, but makes up for it with fresh QoL improvements and a genuinely interesting new game mode.
Mistfall Hunter has a few good ideas, but lacklustre gameplay and somewhat shallow RPG elements make the extraction elements more monotonous than engaging.
Doloc Town is a genuinely fun and incredibly adorable blend of farming sim and platformer set in a post-apocalyptic world, adding a genuinely unique vibe to the genre.

Much like the pottery it's based on, Kiln is a game that has some creativity but is pretty empty on the inside.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an impressive port on Nintendo Switch 2-maintaining the fun and excitement of the films, and the impressive qualities of its console brethren.
Outbound is a super-cozy trek through the wilderness that prioritizes player freedom, but might be too slow for fans of the genre.
Call of the Elder Gods is a decent enough game, but its storytelling and puzzle design leaves a little to be desired
