Nintendo Blast

Frostpunk remains a distinctive strategy game that places human consequences at the heart of city management, challenging players to balance resources, temperature, hope, and discontent while adapting to increasingly demanding scenarios. On Nintendo Switch, its well-adapted controls, preserved visuals, and portable mode make it an appealing way to experience 11 Bit Studios’ acclaimed title, despite occasional graphical issues. Although the lack of additional content in the base edition keeps it from being the most complete version, the original campaign remains compelling, as the greatest challenge is not simply keeping a city alive in a frozen world, but deciding how far you are willing to go to ensure its survival.

Tormented Souls II embraces its inspirations, delivering an experience reminiscent of a modernized Resident Evil, with creative puzzles, challenging riddles, and a strong sense of identity that surpasses its predecessor. For fans of classic survival horror, Caroline Walker’s journey offers tense combat where every bullet counts, intricate environments, resource management, an absurd yet engaging narrative, and an effective soundtrack. More than a nostalgic trip, it proves that classic horror is still alive, reminding players that sometimes the best way to survive is to think twice before pulling the trigger.

Toy Story 3 Complete Edition works better as a nostalgic trip than as a game that stands on the strength of its gameplay. Revisiting these beloved characters and exploring a world that captures childhood imagination has its charm, especially in Toy Box Mode, but overly simplistic design choices and technical issues hold the experience back. Fans of the franchise may still find reasons to give it a chance, though better controls, properly balanced audio, and more polished execution could have made this adventure far more enjoyable.

Toy Story Retro Roundup! is a collection whose value goes beyond the individual quality of its games. While some titles have aged better than others, and issues with camera controls, design limitations, and the lack of Portuguese localization may hinder the experience, modern quality-of-life features and a detailed documentary make this package worthwhile. For video game history enthusiasts, especially those interested in 1990s adaptations of animated films, there is plenty to discover. Digital Eclipse may not turn every game into a timeless classic, but it offers something equally valuable: a chance to understand how these titles were made, the challenges their developers faced, and why preserving these small pieces of gaming history matters.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort represents a natural evolution for Nintendo’s sports series. It retains the immediate fun of its predecessors while offering more content to explore and stronger reasons to keep playing, even solo. For those who miss the simplicity of Wii Sports or want a sports collection that makes good use of the Switch 2’s features, this is a welcome return—and one of the games I’ll likely spend the most time playing on the console.

Despite some bugs and underwhelming melee combat choices, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival delivers a visceral horror experience that dares to shock, using violence, the relationship between pain and pleasure, and its grotesque creatures to create genuine discomfort rather than relying on gore alone. While combat has its ups and downs, the firearms and Genesis Configuration offer some compelling moments, and Aidan’s journey through the Labyrinth and his own past kept me invested in the narrative. On Nintendo Switch 2, technical issues reveal room for improvement, but the performance and visuals held up well in both docked and handheld modes. Ultimately, being able to take this disturbing yet surprisingly pleasurable experience anywhere was one of its greatest strengths.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE is a pleasant surprise that captures the best elements of the franchise, delivering an engaging RPG with strategic, enjoyable combat, deep customization, and plenty of opportunities to experiment with Visions and Espers. Its beautiful pixel art, rewarding exploration, side quests, and hidden secrets kept me invested for over 50 hours, despite some predictable plot twists, repetitive late-game battles, occasional performance issues, and the lack of Brazilian Portuguese localization. More than a nostalgic tribute, RESONANCE offers a complete RPG experience filled with memorable references, satisfying mechanics, and plenty of content for both longtime fans and newcomers. Ultimately, it is not just a gift to fans, but a great FINAL FANTASY in its own right.

Just Dance: Decades of Hits is a nostalgic celebration of one of gaming’s most charismatic franchises. While its modest campaign mode adds welcome freshness, permissive progression, occasionally underwhelming choreography, and the absence of major pop icons hold it back from reaching its full potential. Nevertheless, the core experience remains as enjoyable as ever, making it an excellent choice for bringing friends and family together to laugh, revisit memorable eras, and create new memories through music. It may not reinvent the formula, but it proves that dancing together will remain one of the most entertaining ways to celebrate music in video games.

Once again proving that Capcom has been a fantastic partner for Nintendo, Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen arrives on Switch 2 in excellent shape. Featuring a range of improvements since its original release on other platforms, this immersive RPG finds a new home on Nintendo’s hardware, demonstrating how frame generation technology can be a valuable tool for bringing more demanding titles to the system.

KINGDOM HEARTS Collection \[I–III\] is more than just a bundle of games; for Nintendo fans, it marks a significant moment, bringing nearly the entire saga natively to Switch 2 after years of limited availability on the platform. With an enormous amount of content, essential entries, and an opportunity for newcomers and longtime fans alike, the collection offers a comprehensive way to experience the series. Although performance issues in Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind and 0.2 Birth by Sleep, the absence of Melody of Memory, and the lack of Brazilian Portuguese support are disappointing, the package preserves what makes Kingdom Hearts special: a convoluted yet heartfelt story about friendship, hope, and the strength people find in one another. After so many years, finally being able to experience this journey natively on a Nintendo console is a tremendous joy.

Wielding a whip, discovering hidden mana and health upgrades, and exploring vast Gothic structures are all part of Castlevania’s DNA, and Belmont’s Curse faithfully preserves these elements. Longtime fans will feel right at home, while new additions demonstrate how the developers have learned from their previous projects and other games in the genre. After years with few major releases beyond mobile gacha games and projects in other media, this marks an excellent return for the series on consoles. Even 40 years after its debut, Castlevania still has plenty of potential to deliver outstanding gaming experiences.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War on Switch 2 builds upon its predecessor with more content and improved accessibility. Small gameplay additions, the removal of microtransaction content, crucial fixes to exploration, and a larger world make it a modern classic worth revisiting. While the removal of certain modes and occasional performance hiccups toward the end prevent it from being the definitive version, it remains an excellent game that, alongside Shadow of Mordor, stands among the best recent adaptations of Tolkien’s legendarium, especially when compared to the disappointing efforts of Tales of the Shire and The Rings of Power.

Ultimately, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor on Switch 2 is a pleasant surprise. It remains the same 2014 game, with an original, high-quality story set in Middle-earth, some significant strengths, and a few glaring flaws, while borrowing heavily from two major franchises and their defining features. Its excellent voice acting and brilliant Nemesis System showcase its quality, although the port fails to take full advantage of the Switch 2’s capabilities. In short, it delivers a high-quality experience on the go without new additions or fixes, yet remains one of the best games based on Tolkien’s legendarium, especially when compared to more recent and disappointing ventures into the same universe.

EA Sports FC 27 is far from a mere roster update, introducing meaningful gameplay improvements, a more dynamic Career Mode, and plenty of content, including The Grounds. However, the Nintendo Switch 2 version struggles with its 30 FPS cap, optimization issues, visual artifacts, and a small online community that particularly affects modes reliant on other players. The limited representation of Brazilian football is another major disappointment, with only Bahia and Botafogo included and no Brazilian league available. While the game offers a more complete experience than previous Nintendo versions and introduces promising ideas, its technical shortcomings and content limitations prevent it from reaching its full potential. FC 27 is a competent football game with plenty of good ideas, but on Switch 2, it ultimately delivers a merely good experience rather than the outstanding one it could have been.

Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection is far more than a bundle of the main campaign and its two expansions; it delivers an impressive narrative filled with brutal violence, profane demonic imagery, and unexpected poetic depth. From Lilith’s breathtaking resurrection to the remarkable opening cinematics of Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred, the game offers memorable storytelling and substantial replay value. Each class brings a distinct playstyle, while quests and NPCs range from forgettable to deeply moving, portraying the suffering and compassion found in a world devastated by demonic forces. More than simply being the Wanderer, the player becomes an active force for freedom, proving that hatred is not eternal by fighting back against the forces of Hell with the franchise’s signature blend of brutal combat and creative destruction.

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is clearly a more modestly budgeted project, with expressive, well-animated 3D character models offset by static, frequently reused environments that quickly create a sense of repetition. Its combat combines several ideas, including timelines, cooldown meters, color indicators, and unlockable abilities, most of which work well, though streamlining certain mechanics could benefit future projects from Arc System Works using a similar approach. Ultimately, it is a promising first attempt at a fresh concept for turn-based RPG combat, and hopefully Rena and Soma will return in a sequel that refines these rough edges and delivers the definitive tactical counter-timeline experience.

Ahead of the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion in 2027, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered makes an impressive debut on Switch 2, proving once again that Nintendo’s hybrid console can deliver mature, immersive experiences. Whether you’re a newcomer to the series or a seasoned Witcher, this is an excellent opportunity to explore one of gaming’s most captivating worlds in its finest form.

Maestro is a short but competent musical game that stands out with its well-designed hand-motion conducting mechanics and varied commands, ensuring performances feel more engaging than simply repeating movements to the beat. Minor visual issues and the lack of Portuguese localization keep it from feeling more polished, but its strengths remain intact. With a familiar selection of music and entertaining stage reactions that turn each performance into a small spectacle, Maestro offers a few enjoyable hours for music game fans and anyone looking for something different. More content and technical improvements would make it even better, but its well-executed conducting system makes it an interesting choice for anyone who has ever wanted to pick up the baton and lead their own orchestra.

Neon Abyss 2 understands that variety is one of the greatest strengths of a roguelike, expanding its arsenal of weapons, items, characters, and combinations while introducing cooperative multiplayer to amplify the original’s chaotic gameplay. Although some mechanics could be better explained and the narrative remains more of a side attraction than a central feature, these shortcomings do little to diminish the fun for players focused on combat and exploration. Rather than reinventing the genre, the sequel builds on what made the original enjoyable, offering more possibilities without losing its identity. Every new run remains an exciting gamble, fueled by unexpected weapons, promising items, and the irresistible curiosity of discovering how each combination will turn out.

The new mechanics and inclusion of Xtreme Legends add value to Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered, but they are not enough to overcome its dated movement, pacing, combat variety, and visuals. The remaster seems primarily aimed at bringing back longtime fans who may have lost track of the series amid its many releases, while overlooking newcomers who could otherwise discover the Musou genre through this classic. Veterans and fans of straightforward hack-and-slash gameplay may enjoy a nostalgic return to the PlayStation 2 era, but players accustomed to modern mechanics and more complex challenges will likely find it difficult to connect with a game that feels stuck in the past.
