Kirby Air Riders is a fast, fun spiritual sequel that blends arcade racing with light Smash-style chaos. Its four modes offer variety, the sense of speed is great, and multiplayer shines. The solo content is thinner and some challenges repeat, but overall it’s a joyful, polished return for the series.

Absolum delivers high-octane beat ’em up action wrapped in a roguelite loop that keeps fresh. With richly animated visuals, satisfying build variety, and smooth combat mechanics, it’s a standout in the genre. The story falls a bit short in clarity, but that’s a minor misstep in what is otherwise a polished and thrilling experience.

Dispatch presents a stylish, cinematic narrative adventure with strong visuals, an outstanding voice cast, and a clever blend of interactive storytelling and light team-management mechanics. The episodic structure builds mood and character well, but the replayability is limited, dialog skipping would help, and a few bugs disrupt the flow. Very good overall.

A beautifully updated take on a modern classic: the remaster shines with refreshed visuals, refined controls and the original voice cast. While the charm and story of the original remain intact, a few rough edges (persistent bugs, unchanged cinematics) keep it from being flawless. Still a strong recommendation.

Dragon Quest I and II HD 2D Remake is a faithful and visually gorgeous revival of two JRPG classics. The modern improvements make the experience smoother and the expanded storytelling adds heart. Some gameplay elements still feel old-school and stiff, but overall it remains a charming and enjoyable remake.

Yooka-Replaylee marks the return of the dynamic duo in a vibrant collect-athon full of charm, nostalgia, and secrets to uncover. The visuals are delightful and the exploration aspect shines, but the unstructured progression and technical hiccups on the Switch 2 hold it back slightly.

Built as a prequel set in ancient Hyrule, this Musou-style entry gives The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lore a thrilling action upgrade. The combat is sharper, the performance smoother on the Switch 2, and playing as Zelda in a leadership role adds fresh weight. But repetitive missions and a limited sense of exploration stop it from being exceptional.

Football Manager 26 delivers a bold reboot: a new Unity engine, revamped interface, and inclusion of women’s football all signal a major leap. The match visuals are sharper and clubs feel more alive. However, long-time fans may struggle with the unfamiliar navigation, the lighter hands-on control, and lingering odd animations. Overall it’s a promising foundation, even if it isn’t flawless yet.

A beautifully remastered version of the classic tower-defense that keeps its charm intact. With upgraded visuals, vibrant colours and two new local multiplayer modes, it’s still as fun and slick as ever. That said, it doesn’t break new ground or overhaul the gameplay, so longtime fans may find it comfortably familiar but not daring.

Tormented Souls 2 boldly embraces the old-school survival-horror formula: fixed cameras, scarce ammo, difficult enemies and a heavy focus on clever puzzles. Its spooky atmosphere, varied locations and solid horror mechanics make it a win for fans of the genre, even if the tank controls and frequent back-tracking won’t be for everybody.

NASCAR 25 delivers a serious, authentic racing experience from iRacing Studios. The career mode now begins in lower tiers and requires real effort to climb to the top, while the on-track physics and opponent behavior shine in simulation-style realism. Some of the management systems and online features feel shallow or under-developed, and the journey is more grind than spectacle — but the foundation is strong.

The Outer Worlds 2 refines and expands on everything fans loved: sharp satire, standout characters, and richer RPG systems. The upgraded combat, mobility, and freedom of approach elevate the experience. While it doesn’t reinvent the formula and a few progression hiccups persist, it remains a highly satisfying sci-fi adventure worth diving into.

Persona 3 Reload on Nintendo Switch 2 remains an excellent JRPG, but it's a port that clearly illustrates the technical compromises of poor optimization. Its polished art direction, masterful soundtrack, and consistently compelling storytelling make it a memorable experience, even more than fifteen years after the original game's release. However, the limitation to 1080p and 30 FPS, combined with the absence of additional content such as The Answer or the female protagonist, prevents this version from rising to the rank of “ultimate” re-release. Nevertheless, Atlus has delivered a successful revamp that breathes new life into one of the most important chapters in the series, while allowing a new generation to discover a carefully modernized classic that can once again be played on mobile devices.

It took no less than 13 years after Ninja Gaiden 3 for a sequel to arrive. Fortunately, this new chapter is well worth the wait. During the approximately 10 hours it will take you to complete the adventure for the first time, there will be absolutely no downtime. But there will be many deaths along the way. Thrilling and with enough variety to keep things from getting repetitive, Ninja Gaiden 4 is the kind of action game we love. Let's just hope we don't have to wait as long for the next installment. And putting Ryu front and center wouldn't be a bad thing either.

What kind of year are we having? After such incredible games as Clair Obscur, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Donkey Kong Bananza, and many others, a new contender for Game of the Year has emerged. Hades 2 represents everything a sequel should be: a story that's as solid as ever, masterful gameplay, enormous replay value, and lots of variety. Of course, the foundations for this masterpiece were already in place, but it could have been a double-edged sword. Instead, Supergiant Games surprises us with a roguelite that will leave a lasting impression. 2025, you're starting to hurt our wallets!

Pokémon Legends: Z-A shows that Game Freak benefits from stepping outside its comfort zone. The urban adventure in Illumis brings a breath of fresh air with its vertical exploration, real-time battles, and revamped Mega Evolutions. The game remains visually modest, but offers excellent fluidity on Switch 2 and generous content. While not revolutionary, it's a masterful and enjoyable evolution that gives the series a nice dose of energy and modernity. I really enjoyed the experience and am happy to see that the team has made solid improvements to enrich its Pokémon Legends spin-off series. I sincerely hope that Game Freak continues down this path, as I'm becoming more and more attracted to this formula.

EA FC 26 is a good vintage, without being a masterpiece. It's an edition that exudes stability and a willingness to listen. The additions are intelligent, the gameplay is more nuanced, and the return to a more realistic pace makes offline games more interesting again. The animations have improved, Career mode is slowly getting better, and Ultimate Team mode, despite its flaws, remains addictive. For its part, the Switch 2 version confirms that EA finally seems to be taking the portability of its franchise seriously. Overall, longtime players will probably feel that there aren't enough new features. This is more of a transitional installment than a revolution.

Borderlands 4 stays true to the spirit of the series: chaos, explosions, and loot are all there. The game successfully captures the offbeat humor and unique atmosphere that made the franchise so successful, with cooperative gameplay that is as enjoyable as ever. The side missions are varied, the endgame remains addictive, and the cel-shaded art direction is modern and very polished. Fans will quickly find their bearings, with dynamic combat and a rich and diverse arsenal to choose from.

Silent Hill f is very different from other games in the series in that its gameplay focuses on combat. However, the game also succeeds in playing on psychological horror in a small town that is both beautiful and sad. It is a visually stunning game that deserves to be played a second time to appreciate all the subtleties of the storyline. It may be polarizing among fans, but it remains an excellent game.

Without disrupting the formula that made the first game so successful, Ghost of Yōtei demonstrates Sucker Punch's maturity in its approach of refining rather than reinventing. The studio offers a more introspective adventure, carried by sumptuous art direction and a rarely matched attention to detail. Atsu's story, both intimate and visceral, stands out as a natural evolution of the theme of honor and revenge that began with Ghost of Tsushima.
