Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition concludes the origin trilogy on Switch 2 with an adventure that shines brightest in its exploration, tombs, and puzzles. While the story doesn't fully capitalize on the potential of Lara’s evolution, and combat takes a backseat compared to previous entries, it remains a highly enjoyable experience. The Switch 2 version delivers generally stable performance; however, its technical limitations along with the lack of a mode that prioritizes frame rate prevent this adaptation from truly standing out.

The Joe & Mac Retro Collection is a fantastic opportunity to revisit three adventures that, despite their differences, retain much of their original charm and fun. The variety of gameplay styles, the distinct personalities of the protagonists, and the compelling additions included in this edition make the collection highly recommended. That said, it would have been great to see the original arcade versions and other 8-bit iterations all of which are part of the franchise's history included as well. It is a highly enjoyable revival that proves these cavemen still have plenty to offer.

Mouthwashing is a truly unique psychological horror experience, featuring an unsettling story, charismatic characters, and an atmosphere that’s guaranteed to make your skin crawl. While its simple gameplay and short runtime may hold it back somewhat, its narrative and artistic strengths make for a disturbing journey that is hard to forget.

SILENT HILL: Townfall carves out an identity of its own, thanks to its atmosphere, unsettling story, and a CRT-style visual aesthetic that adds character to exploration and puzzles. While the stealth mechanics are inconsistent and some puzzles are perhaps overly difficult, it remains a highly enjoyable horror adventure one that proves there are still compelling directions for the franchise to explore. It may not reach the heights of the series' best entries, but its strengths ultimately outweigh its flaws.

Cotton Reboot! High Tension! is a sequel that stays true to its roots, yet introduces enough new features to justify a fresh adventure. Its new mechanics add depth to a formula that remains as fun as it is demanding though the sheer number of elements on screen can sometimes make it difficult to follow the action. It is a highly recommended title for shoot 'em up fans who want to go beyond mere survival and take pleasure in perfecting every playthrough.

The KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I–III] brings together a vast portion of a unique saga, featuring several of its best entries and hundreds of hours of adventure. While not all the games have aged equally well and some stories are presented solely in cinematic format the collection remains a fantastic opportunity to discover or revisit Sora’s journey. The Switch 2 version allows for a native, portable experience, though some titles do exhibit technical inconsistencies.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed brings back an adventure with a unique personality, packed with references to the lesser known history of Disney. Its visuals and improved controls make this the best way to experience the game, though somewhat repetitive side quests and mechanics that fail to fully evolve keep it from reaching its full potential. It is a worthwhile adventure, especially for those who enjoy exploring the more forgotten side of Disney.

Toy Story: Retro Roundup! brings together a diverse collection of games with a very polished, historically minded presentation, while Toy Story 3: Complete Edition offers a full fledged adventure, with its "Toy Box" mode remaining its greatest highlight. While not every title has aged equally well and the remastering is modest, the collection as a whole holds special value both for those feeling nostalgic and for anyone looking to discover this era of video games based on Pixar films.

Ratatan recaptures the charm of Patapon with addictive rhythm-based combat, charismatic characters, and a design that blends action and strategy with plenty of personality. However, repetitive expeditions, a progression system that could offer more variety, and some issues with presentation and performance prevent it from truly shining. It is a highly enjoyable spiritual successor that successfully revives a special formula, though it still has room to evolve.

A faithful and unsettling adaptation that successfully translates the atmosphere and imagery of Hellraiser into a video game. The story and the Genesis Configuration add character, though uneven combat and some technical issues tarnish the overall experience. It is a recommended adventure for Clive Barker fans, demonstrating the franchise's potential in interactive horror.

Well Dweller is a polished Metroidvania featuring a fantastic dark-fairytale atmosphere and exploration mechanics that work really well. While the combat could offer a bit more variety, the boss battles and movement options more than make up for it. It doesn't aim to reinvent the genre, but it proves that a familiar formula can still work wonders when executed this well. A highly recommended adventure for fans of the genre.

Keep Driving turns a road trip into a surprisingly endearing RPG adventure. Its mechanics may become repetitive over time, but its characters, music, and atmosphere keep us wanting to stay on the road. It is a unique game with plenty of personality and a concept executed to great effect.

Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection brings together all the content of a game that has evolved remarkably since its launch. The two expansions broaden the experience with new stories, regions, classes, and systems, while the endgame offers plenty of reasons to keep playing for hours on end. The Nintendo Switch 2 version performs capably and is particularly appealing for the ability to enjoy all the content in handheld mode, although the requirement for a constant internet connection remains a significant drawback. Ultimately, this is a far more complete and polished Diablo IV than the one we saw at launch in 2023.

The Switch 2 version works particularly well as a portable alternative and adds some unique features, though there are minor technical aspects that could use a bit more polish. While it may not be revolutionary for long-time players of Rising, it serves as a magnificent entry point for newcomers. It is a comprehensive edition that proves the Granblue Fantasy universe still has plenty to offer the fighting game genre.

The vast amount of content and new features make this Complete Edition a fantastic way to rediscover Omega Force's classic. It is a highly recommended return for veterans and an excellent opportunity to discover a pivotal era in the series.

The Middle-earth: Shadow Bundle brings together two great adventures that continue to prove the Nemesis System was an extraordinary idea. The transition to Nintendo Switch is a conservative one, yet it keeps the experience and all its content intact. While not the most ambitious port, it is an excellent way to discover both games. Middle-earth makes a triumphant return to Nintendo, arriving just over a month after War in the North.

Culdcept: The First Saturn Tribute allows us to discover the origins of a formula that still works surprisingly well. Although the passage of time is evident in its presentation and certain design choices, its strategic possibilities remain highly compelling. It is a particularly worthwhile rediscovery for anyone interested in the beginnings of a saga that is as unique as it is obscure.

Forsaken Kingdom marks the return of Warcraft III with a new campaign that effectively leverages the immense weight of its universe and fills a significant gap between The Frozen Throne and World of Warcraft. Its focus on exploration, hero progression, and an RPG-like structure doesn't always work perfectly, yet it offers a distinct experience with plenty of personality. It may not be the Warcraft III we expected after all these years, but it is hard not to enjoy returning to Lordaeron and accompanying the first Forsaken. A truly special comeback for fans of the saga like us.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is a particularly important compilation for bringing back Metal Gear Solid 4 and allowing us to enjoy it outside of the PlayStation 3 for the first time. Peace Walker demonstrates that there is much more to this collection, and Ghost Babel contributes a little gem that deserves to be rediscovered. Konami could have been even more ambitious with the selection, but the result represents a significant step toward preserving and keeping a fundamental part of Metal Gear history accessible.

Valheim has shown that five years of development can expand a game without losing the essence that made it special. Its blend of survival, exploration, building, and fine details continues to work wonders, offering a massive adventure brimming with possibilities. It is a survival game that, five years later, still has a great deal to offer.
