9.5 / 10.0 - Time Flies
Aug 15, 2025

Time Flies surprised me positively and has become one of my favorite games this year so far. We get a fun title, with many clever ideas, unique backgrounds and even philosophical moments (the last sequence, to me, was one of the most remarkable [moments] I've seen in recent times) — and all this in a simple and quick to complete package. Maybe this is also the only weak point to the game: I felt like it should have more areas to explore. Nonetheless, Time Flies is a must-play to those who are looking for a short, remarkable and fun experience on Nintendo Switch.

6 / 10.0 - Drag x Drive
Aug 13, 2025

Drag x Drive entertained me more than expected, with fun controls and satisfying gameplay. The graphics are great, and I didn’t experience technical issues. However, it lacks local multiplayer, has few customization rewards, and limited game modes.While the Joy-Con controls are well done, the game feels incomplete, lacking the signature Nintendo charm. It’s fun for a few hours, but without extra content, it could easily be forgotten as a tech demo for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of The Rings Game brings a unique concept to the Tolkien adaptation library and accomplishes its goal in a shallow manner, putting players in the role of one of the most iconic people of the Middle Earth. However, just like a poorly prepared cake, it presents big inconsistencies that make the end result practically empty and flavorless.

8.5 / 10.0 - Monument Valley 3
Aug 6, 2025

Monument Valley 3 is definitely the apex of this experience, standing out as the best game in the franchise so far. Full of personality and with a remarkable, touching visual, and, even though it still has some small issues, it delivers a powerful artistic experience — one of those you need to experience yourself.

7 / 10.0 - Wild Hearts S
Aug 5, 2025

Wild Hearts S serves as a good option for those waiting for a new Monster Hunter experience on the Switch 2. It offers similar gameplay, but manages to stand out with its own identity by mixing elements of crafting, with several ways to have fun with the hunts presented. It is worth noting, however, that issues like performance, questionable graphics, and the limited player base due to the lack of crossplay are obstacles that prevent this version from reaching its full potential.

Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition no Switch is a classic case of a missed opportunity. It was the chance to show a past icon to new players with due respect and care. Instead, it is a lazy port, filled with technical issues and limitations that make the experience frustrating rather than pleasant.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 offers more content and modes compared to the first game, maintaining its stunning visuals and accessible combat that fans of the anime will enjoy. The new equipment system and Training Paths mode add a welcome strategic layer, and the expanded roster provides variety for those who like to experiment with different combinations. The battles remain the highlight, especially with cinematic animations and fidelity to the original work. However, the sequel doesn't make significant progress in areas that were previously criticized, such as the shallow story mode and simplistic combat mechanics. The additions seem more like expansions rather than true evolution, leaving the experience stagnant for those seeking more depth or innovation. It's still enjoyable, especially for fans of the series, but lacks the ambition to appeal to a more demanding audience.

Overall, Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact presents a promising foundation. Its visual style is faithful to the original work, the controls are accessible, and the combat system is entertaining, especially for those who dedicate themselves to exploring every nuance and developing their own playstyle. However, the experience is compromised by a poorly structured story mode, unrewarding extra modes, and a limited character selection, especially considering the vast gallery of the Hunter x Hunter universe. Furthermore, the difficulty of finding online matches, exacerbated by the lack of crossplay, further limits the title's appeal. In its current state, it's difficult to recommend, whether for players seeking a competitive fighting game or for anime fans looking for a worthy adaptation of Yoshihiro Togashi's work.

8 / 10.0 - Shadow Labyrinth
Jul 24, 2025

Debuting a good Metroidvania isn't easy, and Shadow Labyrinth succeeded. Overall, I consider my experience with the game to be good, and I see room for further improvement in several ideas. Furthermore, the protagonist's unique identity could prevent the title from falling into oblivion. Puck is as interesting as the universe in which this story takes place. Running through labyrinths chasing ghosts became even more dangerous in Shadow Labyrinth, which didn't fully deliver, but could be the beginning of a new series that will add a lot to the Metroidvania scene.

Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is a true entertainment spectacle. It has everything: classic boards, a high-energy live show, a cooperative rollercoaster, and tons of dynamic, interactive minigames. Sure, some modes might get repetitive, and the mouse-like control might feel awkward, but the fun is guaranteed! The best part is that you get to choose how you want to play—and I can confidently say this is my favorite Mario Party so far. The visual upgrade and smoothness make a huge difference, along with the new minigames and creative ways to enjoy the party. Gather your friends, whether at home or online, and get ready for laughs and unforgettable moments at this epic party.

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a collection with a clear goal: introducing the games to new audiences, especially on the Switch and PC, where they are debuting for the first time. While this is great for attracting fresh players, it feels like a missed opportunity to introduce more improvements that could have appealed to long-time fans, offering a more enhanced experience. The focus on preserving the original experience even led to the absence of a pause option, just like the original PSP versions. Nevertheless, the collection delivers what it promises, bringing nearly two-decade-old games to modern platforms and potentially sparking interest in a new generation of players to explore the journey to Earthend.

Front Mission 3: Remake doesn't do a good job in updating the classic game, but its base is still compelling. For fans of RPGs, tactical games and mecha, it's worth getting to know the game, whether in its original version or the remake.

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy is an RPG that tries to make a curious mix in its combat, but it ends up being only frustrating and lackluster. With an uninteresting base, the experience doesn't appeal and is a bad way to bring back Compile's classic franchise to a new generation.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is easily one of the best games I've played this year. I'd always heard great things about it, and this re-release lived up to expectations and beyond. Minor hiccups don't tarnish the reputation of this FPS and horror classic, packed with macabre ambiance, sparse music to create a terrifying atmosphere, a charismatic villain, and sharp gameplay.

No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES is a new adventure that ends up being simpler and more predictable than its predecessors. Without the same weight to the story and the gameplay, the end result is lukewarm and not as compelling, though it still has a solid enough base not to be a complete waste.

9.5 / 10.0 - Donkey Kong Bananza
Jul 16, 2025

Donkey Kong Bananza follows the successful formula of Super Mario Odyssey, with great additions like a skill tree, functional customizations, strategic transformations, and intense exploration. It’s liberating to destroy everything in your path, with beautiful and varied layers, charismatic NPCs, and Pauline’s stories that are always worth listening to. The outfits acquired throughout the journey do more than change appearance—they also offer important functionalities like poison resistance, health recovery, and longer transformation durations, which are key to progress. The game can be finished in about 50 hours without feeling tired or bored, and there’s even post-game content. The only downside is the ease of the battles, but everything else makes up for it. Donkey Kong Bananza is a must-have for Switch 2 owners.

6 / 10.0 - No Heroes Here 2
Jul 15, 2025

No Heroes Here 2 is definitely a game that exists. It doesn’t try to reinvent the genre but fulfills its purpose. Playing with friends is extremely fun, and that’s its main focus. However, the disaster of coordinating everything alone and the visibility of its simplicity and lack of purpose make it a title hard to recommend or even mention as an example in discussions about national games, being overshadowed by Mark of the Deep or its predecessor. At the end of the day, it’s just a castle to defend, work for coins, and that’s it.

In a genre in which the games are looking ever more generic, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die manages to show its own qualities as a roguelite with charismatic characters and addicting combat mechanics. Beyond that, the way the premise fits the map randomization format and rewards is very satisfying.

9 / 10.0 - Everdeep Aurora
Jul 14, 2025

There's a lot to learn about the world of Everdeep Aurora. Each new road we explore in these underground tunnels have discoveries that may even influence the various endings of the game. The good side is that it's not necessary to play the whole campaign again to see what every ending holds. It's a pacific metroidvania that does its job well in presenting captivating characters in 16 bits and a mystery as deep as Everdeep itself.

There's big potential in Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game that, unfortunately, was not reached due to certain limitations from the game's concept. [...] Even so, I had fun with my initial blunders and with learning the leaps and pirouette sequences that the game has to offer in its combinations. Photo Mode is a welcome extra and it's possible to feel that the base for a great sequel is already done.
