Fast Fusion is a standout launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, proving that even smaller games can deliver big thrills. With 12 visually stunning tracks, over 200 ship combinations, and fast-paced yet fair gameplay, it offers a polished and exhilarating racing experience—though it leaves you wishing there was just a bit more to explore.

Mario Kart World is a strong launch title for the Switch 2, shaking up the classic formula with an open world and exciting knockout tours while still feeling comfortingly familiar. While the chaotic 24-player races shine online, the offline experience is hampered by unfair AI, but the overall technical performance is excellent—and future content could make the game even more compelling.

Sugardew Island delivers on its promise of 15–20 hours of relaxing farming gameplay, offering a charming visual style and a laid-back experience with no time pressure or rigid rules. While some mechanics lack depth—particularly the shop system, which feels more like an idle game—the overall flow is pleasant, though the game quickly runs out of steam and suffers from slow updates on the tested PS5 version.

Trident’s Tale offers a charming pirate adventure with a nostalgic flair, a compact open world, and a focused playtime that works in its favor. Unfortunately, clunky combat, technical issues, and shallow progression systems hold it back from true greatness. Still, there’s potential here—and with a stronger follow-up, 3DClouds could chart a promising new course.

Endless Ocean Luminous offers a relaxing diving experience, but its repetitive mission structure and shallow story mode limit long-term motivation. While the multiplayer focus and serene atmosphere may appeal to some, the lack of variety and reliance on random dives make the overall experience frustrating at times. Also, the story mode is much more a tutorial mode than a full-fledged story mode.

Avowed deepened my love for the RPG genre, delivering nearly 50 hours of immersive storytelling, meaningful choices, and a rich world full of secrets. The first-person perspective enhances the experience, making exploration and companion interactions feel personal and engaging. While performance issues on Xbox Series X and achievement design tied to specific choices were minor frustrations, the game left me eager to dive back in for a second playthrough.

I’m genuinely excited for the second tape of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. The first part delivered a captivating mix of mystery, friendship, and atmosphere, wrapped in a beautiful audiovisual package—proving once again that DON’T NOD knows how to tell heartfelt, immersive stories.

Into the Emberlands blends survival and roguelite elements with cozy vibes, offering a relaxed yet engaging experience perfect for short sessions. While the game lacks variety in later stages, its charming atmosphere and affordable price make it well worth a try.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard captivated me for around 65 hours, with its heartwarming focus on team dynamics, diverse characters, and personal stories. While the RPG mechanics feel shallow at times, the rich world full of secrets and treasures made the journey unforgettable — and I hope BioWare one day finds its way back to success.

Omega Force delivers much more than a typical Musou game. Fate/Samurai Remnant has a deep story and nice gameplay elements, even though a few things get a bit too repetitive when you look at the time one playthrough of the game takes.

Horizon Chase 2 is a fantastic sequel that improves on all aspects necessary of its predecessor. It's simply fantastic arcade how I love it. There are just a few technical shortcomings on Nintendo Switch.

The Crew Motorfest is the visually most beautiful racing game I've played so far - and also one the most fun. Hawaii is a beautiful racing playground and the playlists bring a lot of variety into the game.

For me as a fan of Diablo III, Blizzard's new title is a dream come true and a nightmare at the same time. Diablo IV features a great core of gameplay but the Battle Pass structures and seasonal features somehow let it down. Even the main campaign lacks true excitement unfortunately.

I would have preferred to go without the frustrating bossfights, but apart from that, Makis Adventure is a well-crafted indie game with a great atmosphere and lots and lots of attention to detail.

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is like the second visit in a wonderful café: There's still that awesome quality but the sensation of something special begins to fade.

Stray Blade brings in everything to be a great game: I can see a title scoring within the high 80s range here. But it all gets broken with the horrible combat in the game and missing technical polish.

Strayed Lights tells a great story without any words and brings a wonderful world to your screen. Its potential though isn't fully used as sooner or later, it's just your gateway to the next bossfight. The bossfights can become frustrating, especially due to the shaky performance of the game on Xbox Series S.

There are a few frustrating and/or shallow elements in what could be a truly wholesome game. But there's also this beautiful world full of adventures and a great atmosphere. Overall, Tchia is one of the best open-world games that I've played in a while.

The Ship Graveyard Simulator ended up as a big surprise for me and also earned its status as one kind of wholesome game.
