Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is an absolutely fantastic remake. Not only does it maintain what made the original so great in the first place, but every new addition only builds upon its foundation, each of which lends itself to a gameplay loop that never gets old and a visual style that frequently had me stunned with awe. Despite some problems here and there, this is still an absolute must-play, regardless of whether you are a new fan of Assassin's Creed or you've been following it since the beginning.
Echoes of Aincrad is a classic case of "sometimes less is more". It's a game that dilutes too much of its content in an attempt to look grander than it is. This can be a fun experience for those who value certain gameplay loops and new takes on established combat formulas, but it's frankly unacceptable for a AAA title. Only major SAO fans will likely get something out of this one.
Endless Ragnarok makes a good game better as it brings forth tons of quality-of-life improvements as well as brand new modes and a new story to fight through. While still suffering from some of the same narrative issues Relink had, the plethora of challenges and new playable characters will give long-time Relink players a reason to come back. New players will be able to experience the most complete Relink package, highlighting the game's satisfying combat first and foremost.
Moonlight Peaks is a great farming simulator that takes what many love about the genre and only makes it better with its charming world, fantastic characters, and unique spell system. While it does slightly stumble in certain areas with a desire for more quality-of-life features, this is a great game worth checking out.
Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition is one of the worst Nintendo Switch 2 ports to date. The visuals are rancid and ruin the best parts of the original game, like the exploration. Worse still, it makes the worst parts of the original even more frustrating, as the combat feels monotonous at best and unresponsive at worst, alongside the overabundance of technical issues. Considering the lack of an upgrade pack and new features, it's hard to think of any reason to buy the Definitive Edition whatsoever.
At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the prospect of a chapter that took a step back from the high stakes that both Chapter 3 and 4 introduced. Yet, once I realized that this was to be the last reverie that both the characters and players would be able to experience, I appreciated the change in tone even more. I have no idea what’s going to happen next in Deltarune‘s story. I don’t know where certain characters are going to end up or the solutions to all of the game’s mysteries. However, considering all of the quality we’ve gotten from the Deltarune story thus far, I can confidently say that when it finally ends, we will be left with a game that can only be described as “generational.”
Dead or Alive 6 Last Round is a really good fighting game with plenty of single-player content and online features to keep newcomers and returning fans happy. The game's optimizations and improvements are welcome, but the lack of rollback netcode and cross-play at launch holds Dead or Alive 6 Last Round back.
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.
007 First Light marks a grand return for James Bond in the world of video games. Amazing graphics and a tightly paced story round out an exciting adventure filled with bombastic moments and action. Satisfying hand-to-hand combat and fleshed-out stealth mechanics fill the adventure and make up for sometimes lacking gunplay. While some jarring separation between sections can take players out of the experience, First Light still shines through as a wonderful love letter to everything Bond.
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.
