While older gamers will likely bounce off the repetitive dialogue and simplified actions very quickly, it stands out as one of the better licensed adaptations for younger players thanks to its bright worlds and zero-stress mechanics. But again, it is an easy switch your brain off and get 1000 Gamercore!
Crimson Moon is a gorgeous, punishing roguelike that forces a constant battle with your own reflexes, offering plenty of gothic atmosphere and satisfying builds if you can tolerate its rough edges, clumsy inventory management, and bruising combat difficulty. Other than that, it’s a different take on a roguelike meets Soulslike, so enjoy dying.
The Blood Of The Dawnwalker is an absolute treat for fans of deep, atmospheric vampire RPGs who can look past the rough technical state of the Xbox Series S version. If you love tense directional combat, rich investigation mechanics, and a world packed with secrets, the sheer depth here easily outweighs the performance bumps. It is a must-play game!
Garfield Escape From Monday is a safe, easy-to-play title built for quick achievements and brain-off gaming sessions, making it a decent pick if you want low-effort platforming despite its basic design and annoying food pop-ins. It’s a game younger gamers will appreciate, and it is a solid platformer; it’s just not pushing the needle forward.
If you want a lighthearted, collectable-heavy arcade racer and can look past floaty physics, missing brake lights, and stubborn controller buzz, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a fun weekend burnout; just don’t expect tight sim-grade racing. But do expect one of the best Hot Wheels games in the series to date.
If you have somehow managed to avoid FromSoftware’s masterpiece until now or want the ultimate portable soulslike experience on the Nintendo Switch 2, this definitive package belongs in your library despite its frustrating quirks and high difficulty spike. This is a God-tier port and one of the definitive ways to play this amazing game. The powerhouse ports continue on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Halo Campaign Evolved brings solid visual upgrades, great quality-of-life additions, and a brilliant soundtrack to the Xbox Series S, but it also drags along frustrating checkpoint bugs, erratic AI, and repetitive corridor shooting. If you are a diehard fan looking for a nostalgia trip with modern tweaks, it provides enough entertainment to warrant a playthrough. However, burnout veterans might find the tedious pacing and technical hiccups hard to ignore. On the Xbox Series S console itself, the game is fine but not brilliant and is not the best way to play this game.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an ambitious and visually striking action-adventure that stumbles slightly under its own technical weight on Microsoft’s smaller console, yet offers a deeply rewarding experience for anyone willing to wrestle with its tougher mechanics. If you can look past the jagged performance snags and occasional navigation hiccups, the intricate combat, phenomenal atmosphere, and rich world-building make it well worth adding to your library.
Barbarian Saga: The Beastman is a clunky, disjointed Metroidvania that struggles to find a smooth rhythm, bogged down by sparse abilities, missing control settings, and a frustrating sense of direction. While its tiny file size, forgiving checkpoint system, and cheap entry price might tempt hardcore platforming fans looking for an easy platinum trophy, the tedious grind and chaotic progression mean most players will find their patience wearing thin long before the credits roll.
Agent 64: Spies Never Die delivers a brilliant, fast-paced homage to classic N64 shooter roots that hits all the right nostalgic notes with fantastic gunplay and robust co-op features.
If you enjoy a heavy, historically grounded narrative with excellent audio design and do not mind slow pacing or archaic map navigation, it offers an unforgettable experience on PlayStation 5.
If you go in expecting a light, budget-friendly anime puzzler and can look past the broken AI, absurdly fast camera, and frustrating lack of player guidance, there is a fun little afternoon of tower climbing to be had here.
There is a fascinating world here packed with deep progression and intense combat that makes it worth checking out, and the extraction game genre is far from dead.
Splatoon Raiders is an absolute triumph for anyone who ever wanted a dedicated, pressure-free PvE spin-off from Nintendo’s colourful shooter franchise.
Heave Ho 2 takes a massive step up over the original by polishing its physics chaos, stacking on smart co-op tools, and keeping the hilarious swear-filled energy completely intact. It shines brightest when played in local or online multiplayer with a full crew of friends throwing each other into the abyss, making it an essential pickup for party game fans on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Star Fox is a triumph of arcade design that feels right at home on the Switch 2, proving that classic formulas can still provide the most visceral thrills in modern gaming. While the multiplayer mode is more of a quick, fun distraction than a main course, the campaign offers a meaty, challenging adventure that will keep you coming back.
Denshattack is a wild, adrenaline-fueled ride that manages to make driving a train feel like the most intense thing you’ve done all year. While it stumbles slightly by lacking leaderboards and having some awkward UI choices during high-speed segments, the core loop is so satisfyingly deep that it’s easy to look past the rough edges. If you’re a fan of arcade classics and want something that leans fully into vibrant, over-the-top style, this is a total blast. It’s not just a stunt game; it’s a chaotic, rewarding, and deeply fun experience that proves trains should have been doing kickflips all along.
If you want an incredibly easy, fifteen-minute double Platinum trophy fueled by built-in cheats or a quick hit of pure 90s arcade nostalgia, it is worth a cheap look, but don’t expect to stay hooked for long.
If you’re looking for a rock-solid way to play some classic mid-90s platformers with cool retro screen filters and controllers that actually work out of the box, this dual pack is perfect to pick up and play in short bursts.
The Mound has a brilliant, terrifying heart buried under a mountain of repetitive mission structures, terrible Xbox Series S performance, and painfully slow solo progression that makes it hard to recommend the Xbox Series S version. But that said, I leave it as I still think about the game when I am not playing it; I enjoy myself a lot when playing it, but it does have issues, and I am hoping they get ironed out.
