Dark Scrolls is a good side-scrolling roguelike adventure filled with fun characters, fantastic art style, and a unique star system that makes the game stand out from others. However, the lack of difficulty and lack of true path changes bring down this solid adventure.
Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is an excellent Switch 2 port that preserves the game's stylish and endlessly replayable action while delivering smooth 60 FPS performance in both handheld and docked modes. There's no new content, but basically everything essential for DMC5 is here, making this an easy recommendation for anyone looking to experience one of the best action games in recent memory.
EA Sports UFC 6 is a great sports-fighting game that brings a slew of single-player content that new and returning UFC fans will enjoy. With well over 100 playable fighters on the base roster, there's a legend or current-day superstar to test out with the improved gameplay mechanics and new features, including the all-new and intuitive Flow State. The game's assist and difficulty options also give you control and ease you into what's new in EA Sports UFC 6.
The Adventures of Elliot: Millennium Tales is perhaps the answer to a potential scenario of "What if Square Enix took charge and created a top-down Zelda experience"? I don't mean that in a negative way - quite the contrary, in fact! This is a game that holds its own unique charm that I feel only Team Asano could do, and it re-kindled a sense of nostalgia that I probably haven't felt in more than a decade. If this means we will see more of HD-2D in other genres, or if this opens the door for new remakes, then I'm all in for it.
Mousebusters is an adventure game with point-and-click, puzzle, and shoot ’em up elements. The gameplay loop is okay, but slow at times. The characters are fun, but not all of them stick the landing. The narrative can be slow but picks up in the second half, leading to a satisfying ending. While it has issues, the last hour of the game more than makes up for them, and I enjoyed my time with it, especially since you can beat it in an afternoon.
Little Nightmares II Enhanced Edition is a fantastic puzzle-heavy horror game that oozes a charming ambiance that just pulls you into its dark world. Unfortunately, minor issues such as platforming, combat, the lackluster offerings of the new Nintendo Switch 2 port, and underutilizing the mechanics of each chapter slightly bring down what is a solid experience.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a great love letter to the Caped Crusader. Certainly, the story adapts the movies at the expense of the comic source material, the gameplay is a near replica of the Arkham games, and there are numerous technical issues and limited content. However, the story's overall charm, the fun gameplay, and the numerous costumes and Batmobiles to chew into mean that this is a must-play for hardcore Batman fans and younger audiences alike.
Five years on, Arise reaches Switch 2 as the most complete version of one of the generation's strongest JRPGs — base game and Beyond the Dawn in one package. The 30fps cap is the catch; portable access is the payoff.

Neverness to Everness is a gacha game that really has the potential to position itself amid the sea of currently available games. There are a lot of small issues that keep it from unleashing its full potential, but the development team seems keen on fixing them.
FZ: Formation Z is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up and run-and-gun game, making it an interesting combination of genres that work fairly well but don't feel fully utilized. The game is very short, though, and while it's designed around replayability, I didn't feel a reason to keep playing after a couple of runs. While I still recommend giving it a shot, I only see fans of the genre sticking with it.
Mina the Hollower easily cements Yacht Club Games' capacity to deliver high-quality retro experiences. The game takes inspiration from several sources, both old and new, and carefully fine-tunes each into a polished experience that is both curated and customizable.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a cute experience that I had a lot of fun playing. While some stages do have some rather obtuse solutions to their puzzles, it's still a cute and fun experience that I enjoyed from start to finish.
Forza Horizon 6 is an excellent, high-quality racing game that finally gives players the chance to explore Japan with their favorite cars. Playground Games crafted an amazing open world full of fun content and exciting gameplay, all of which is backed by a stellar soundtrack and incredible direction on sound design. Forza Horizon 6 is a reminder that open-world racing games are still capable of greatness.
Blood: Refreshed Supply is a remaster of the cult classic Blood. This is actually the second remaster of the game, but this really is the definitive way to play the game. Nightdive did an amazing job with this remaster, including both of its expansions and the fan levels MARROW and Death Wish. It is still an old-fashioned FPS and has the same issues other games of the time had, but even with all that, this is still an amazing remaster of a great game.
Coffee Talk Tokyo packs the late-night café up and moves it eastward with a formula that hasn't changed much in over half a decade. The vibe still works, but the writing overcorrects, and the city it's named after never really shows up.
Bubsy 4D is definitely the best game in the franchise. That may not be a particularly high hurdle to clear, but Fabraz did so with ease and raised the bar considerably for any upcoming title to follow. It has a great movement system and finally gives Bubsy an identity that's more than just memes, despite being maybe just a tad too short. It's an easy recommendation for fans of arcade titles and guaranteed to be worth the time for any platformer aficionado.
As a bullet hell first-person shooter, Luna Abyss might not achieve its full potential, but it accomplishes everything it sets out to do well enough. A haunting world and an evasive combat dance results in one of the most creatively bold shooters in recent years.
Thick as Thieves has the bones of a great stealth experience with rewarding exploration, satisfying loot management, and a world that strongly evokes Looking Glass Studios’ legacy. However, leftover extraction-game design, forced contract progression, limited combat options, and locked characters hold it back from fully stepping out of the shadows.
Gamble With Your Friends is far from revolutionary, but it can be a chaotic, fun time with friends for a handful of hours thanks to its ticket system, casino antics, and ridiculous body-part sacrifices. However, with little variety between runs and most of its tricks revealed quickly, it’s hard to see much reason to return once you’ve had your fill.
