Star Fox 2026 is a game straight out of 1997, with all the personality and simplicity that entails. It’s a game you can finish in an afternoon, but the gameplay is fun and unique enough to make every hour rewarding.

Recommended for both newcomers and veterans alike, Star Fox elevates Nintendo’s charismatic franchise to new heights on the Switch 2, introducing welcome new features while delivering a spectacular reimagining worthy of the 1997 classic's legacy. So, if there was ever any doubt, it is now gone: redesigned and revitalized for the current generation, young McCloud and his crew have a very promising future ahead, and the decision to unite past and present through a remake has proven to be a brilliant move.

‘Star Fox’ remains a fantastic action game with no real competition. Where else do you get to battle flying monkey heads whilst a space frog shouts tips at you? The remake stays true to the original, but gives the graphics a massive overhaul and sensibly modernises the controls.

Star Fox feels like it’s on the cusp of relevance again with this masterfully done remake of an iconic classic. The same familiar action from the original is wonderfully realized on the Switch 2, adding more nuance, fleshed-out cutscenes, and all the wonderfully weird secrets fans can expect to uncover. However, it's time to move past the Lylat Wars and onto something else entirely new. For a new generation, this game is a great entry into the series that's been sidelined for far too long.

Not only has Nintendo pulled off a perfect reboot of the Star Fox series, but we’ve also been treated to yet another must-have title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Now all that’s left is to wait for a truly new installment in the Star Fox saga.

Even if it’s just “reheated food” for Nintendo’s most hardcore fans, there could hardly be a better foundation on which to build the future of the Star Fox series.

Visually and acoustically, Star Fox impressed us across the board. The overall atmosphere is more intense, more immersive, and still retains that essential sense of nostalgia for longtime veterans. All the more disappointing, then, is the lack of additional missions to expand the relatively short single-player campaign. While the Challenge Mode is a nice extra for achievement hunters, full-fledged missions or even a second campaign would have added significant value to the remake. The multiplayer mode also suffers from a limited number of maps and mission types, even though the core gameplay is enjoyable. We hope that Star Fox marks a reboot of the series and that this high level of quality can be maintained in future installments.

This is, without a doubt, the best Star Fox game to date.
