Dynasty Warriors: Origins solidifies itself as a major success for the franchise. The campaign is extensive and supported by multiple progression systems, as well as a variety of weapons that encourage the player to experiment with different combat styles. Although it presents a long and, at times, repetitive structure, the game builds an efficient and engaging loop. The absence of multiple playable characters may alienate some of the franchise's traditional audience, but the more focused and accessible approach has the potential to attract players who previously stayed away from the musou genre.

Final Fantasy VII REMAKE Intergrade proves that the Nintendo Switch 2 is indeed capable of hosting large-scale productions without significantly compromising the experience. The recreation of Midgar is immersive, the combat system is one of the most refined in the franchise, and the expanded narrative gives new weight to already known characters and events. Even with minor technical slips and occasional limitations, especially in portable mode, the package delivered is robust, competent, and respects the grandeur of the original work.

Fairy Tail: Dungeons is a very fun game capable of captivating the player for hours. It's not excessively difficult, but it's not too easy either, presenting a good balance of challenge. For fans of the series, the game is a real treat, full of references and beloved characters. However, those unfamiliar with the Fairy Tail universe may feel a little lost, as the title doesn't delve too deeply into the presentation of its world or its characters.

Big Hops is a fun game that tells an unusual story with charismatic characters, features an excellent variety of exploration moves, showcases diverse and vast environments, and contains numerous collectible items. However, the many and frequent technical glitches hinder the title's potential to be even more addictive and rewarding. Ultimately, therefore, we are faced with a very complete and charming 3D platformer, but one that deserves more care and fixes to become a great success.

Milano's Odd Job Collection is a charming, forgotten fifth-generation adventure, with little ambition but plenty of charm. A few silly mistakes don't detract from its personality and charm, bringing back nostalgic feelings from a distant era, yet with games whose premises are so similar. Many re-releases are necessary for the preservation and introduction of old IPs to new generations, and I believe this was a great success for HilltopWorks, known for translating other previously exclusive gems to the global market.

Dragon Ruins II is a small game, clearly made with a limited budget and a different scope than traditional dungeon crawlers. Therefore, it would be unfair to judge it by the same standard. Within its premise of being a "dungeon crawler for tired people," it performs very well. For those who want to rest their minds with a bit of grinding and dungeon exploration, the game is a great choice. On the other hand, with its autobattler mechanics, it won't appeal to everyone and certainly isn't a game I would choose for my "main" gaming time, when I want something that demands a greater investment of time and attention.

Bringing together the best aspects of computer RPGs, Divinity: Original Sin 2 remains one of the best games of the genre ever made, even years after its debut. Despite some questionable points, its conversion to the Switch 2 has a very positive overall result, especially when considering the free upgrade for those who already own (or intend to acquire) the Switch version. Therefore, in the end, there's no denying that Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a great way to experience or revisit Larian's extensive and captivating adventure, now on Nintendo's newest console.

The Rogue Prince of Persia lives up to the legacy of the legendary franchise, delivering a fast-paced, acrobatic roguelite that is highly recommended for fans of the genre and the Ubisoft saga. Although it took a while to arrive on the Switch and Switch 2, in this case the wait was worth it, rewarded with a great version that deserves a place in every Nintendo fan's virtual library — ready to save Persia again?

System Shock is a competent game and an even stronger remake, polishing the original release with current graphics and reviving an icon for a new generation. However, like SHODAN reviving corpses and disfiguring them into zombie cyborgs, the Switch port falls short in crucial aspects and, overall, fails to remember its origins for preservation purposes. It's a very good game, worthy of its applause, but a little more polish would be appreciated to honor what it created and helped build.

Despelote might not make a great first impression, as its gameplay and aesthetics aren't the most eye-catching. However, its premise of being almost a historical archive of Ecuador and a love letter to football and the sport's influence on a people's struggle might end up surprising many people. Even though the title refers to a specific country on a continent as large as South America, this experience should resonate with any Latin American, as I myself felt nostalgic with the scenarios and situations of this world. Even if it's not a perfect narrative, it's still one of those games worth trying.

Overall, the Pokémon DLC is good. It offers solid additional content and adds many new Pokémon to the game. The mechanic of crafting Donuts to obtain different bonuses is fun, and exploring Hyperspace in search of items—and especially Pokémon—is very cool. For fans of the franchise, this new content delivers a very interesting experience. Now, setting aside my fanboy side and speaking more objectively: the DLC is not worth the price. If it had a price closer to what we saw in the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, then it would be more aligned with what it actually offers. But, at the current price, the cost-benefit ratio doesn't hold up.

Ultimate Sheep Raccoon honors its predecessor and is quite fun, although it introduces a bit more complexity for those who just want to play casually with friends or family in the living room. The new approach with the bicycles manages to be different without seeming like it's trying to reinvent the formula too much. This differentiates it enough from the original to feel like a sequel rather than an expansion, satisfying the desires of those who enjoy Ultimate Chicken Horse and are looking for a new option for game nights.

In the end, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds proves itself to be an excellent racing game, full of content to keep you playing for hours. It secured its place on the Switch, and Sonic Team finally hit the mark — perhaps with the best title in the series since the spin-offs began being released.

Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved is a competent adventure game, capable of pleasing both newcomers and veterans. It features a well-constructed world, well-developed characters, and a very pleasing aesthetic. My main criticism is that it rarely manages to be more than just the sum of its parts: it's a well-executed game, but it doesn't stand out in any specific aspect when compared to other well-established games in the genre. It's ideal for those who want to discover if the genre is for them, especially since it's short and easy. Veterans should also enjoy it, although they may feel that Detective Instinct doesn't offer anything that other more acclaimed titles haven't already done.

Dunjungle is a charming roguelite that deserves to be checked out by fans of 2D action games. Unfortunately, its constant flirtation with visual and mechanical repetition and its underwhelming performance on the Switch prevent the game from achieving greater status on Nintendo's console. In the end, for those interested in the genre and the concept, and willing to accept the aforementioned limitations with an open heart, there is a challenging and fun journey here — for everyone else, however, it is undeniable that there are more essential alternatives on the market.

Skate Story presents itself as a sensory work about movement, fragility, and rebirth, delivering much more than a simple skateboarding experience. By uniting poetry, precise physics, and a deeply immersive aesthetic, the game transforms falls into learning experiences, slips into contemplation, and each maneuver into a moment of emotional release. Its surreal atmosphere, marked by dark scenarios, introspective music, and powerful symbolism, reinforces the feeling of undergoing a ritual of self-discovery. Even with occasional limitations, its narrative and symbolic strength remains intact, leaving the player with the feeling of having participated in a personal and transformative journey.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows proves to be a great game on the Switch 2. Overall, the performance is pleasing—even with its flaws—and it's safe to bet that Ubisoft will release updates to fix these problems. I have no doubt that the gameplay on the Switch 2 will improve significantly, just as happened with Star Wars Outlaws. This port showed the Switch 2's true potential for running next-gen games, and that makes me very excited for the third-party titles that may come to the console in the future.
