Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is an enhanced version that consolidates the title's place among the must-haves of the franchise. The expansion expands on the original adventure with new stages, new gameplay mechanics, and a higher difficulty level that will appeal to players looking for something new as well as those seeking a tougher challenge.

Gears of War: Reloaded isn't as impressive as a complete remake, but it perfectly fulfills its role as a technical upgrade and accessible gateway for a new generation of players. The campaign retains all its power, the multiplayer benefits from modern options, and the whole thing is supported by production values that are finally on par with current standards. The addition of PS5-specific features even offers a pleasant little surprise, giving this version a special appeal. Of course, veterans would probably have hoped for more new features, but it's hard to deny the pleasure of rediscovering such a memorable classic in such good conditions. While we wait for Gears of War: E-Day, Reloaded effectively reminds us why this series has left a lasting mark on its genre.

If you're wondering whether 2025 is the year of the ninja, Ragebound leads us to say yes. The Game Kitchen has put its expertise into a series that was in dire need of renewal, at least in 2D. The new features add a little something extra without distorting what we already knew. The combat is wonderful, as is the soundtrack. And the price is more than reasonable for an approximate playtime of 8 hours. In short, we're more than satisfied and can't wait to see what Ninja Gaiden 4 has in store for us.

Trails Through Daybreak II stands out as a solid sequel that expands on Calvard's political and personal stakes while deepening its characters. Despite a sometimes uneven pace and a technically inferior Switch version, the captivating story and improved combat make it a must-play JRPG. The PS5 remains the best option to fully enjoy the experience and is my top recommendation at this time.

All in all, I really enjoy Dune Awakening. This game introduced me to—and made me love—the survival genre, which is both new and refreshing for me. The quests are varied and engaging, the universe is visually stunning, and the well-thought-out story makes you want to keep going further and further.

Mafia: The Old Country is a return to its roots that fully embraces its narrative shift. Its compelling story, sumptuous environments, and impeccable voice acting make it a memorable experience. However, its overly cautious gameplay, occasionally shaky technical aspects, and lack of freedom to explore prevent it from reaching excellence. It's a game to be savored like a good television series. While not perfect, it's clear that Hangar 13 has understood what made the first games so successful. Here's hoping they'll have the opportunity to continue this franchise in the future.

Drag x Drive is an original offering that showcases the potential of the Joy-Con 2 controllers and their mouse function, while providing intense gaming moments, especially online. However, its limited content, minimalist aesthetics, and certain technical constraints prevent it from fully convincing over time. While fun for a few sessions, it struggles to establish itself as a must-have for the Nintendo Switch 2, especially since there are already plenty of more interesting choices available on the console.

No Sleep for Kaname Date achieves its goal by offering a more concise and accessible experience, while remaining faithful to the universe of the series. Despite some technical limitations on Switch 2 and a structure that is sometimes predictable for those familiar with the previous games, the game remains well-crafted overall. Its lighter tone, well-designed puzzles, and solid storytelling make it an interesting addition to the main series. Sold at a reduced price, it also offers a decent amount of playtime, making it a fair proposition for fans already invested in the universe, like me.

PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY allows you to relive the emotions of yesteryear, the rigorous mechanics, and the unique universe of this cult series. However, I regret that nothing has been done to improve the experience or bring it up to date. Admittedly, there are now a few accessibility options, but nothing that would modernize the franchise. Nevertheless, I hope that it will be a success so that we can perhaps look forward to a new episode in the future.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is a pleasant surprise among the launch titles for the Nintendo Switch 2. Without revolutionizing the formula, it brilliantly rebalances the action-RPG and simulation components, while delivering a visually accomplished and narratively stronger adventure. Thanks to inspired art direction, an accessible but effective combat system, and flawless technical performance, the game breathes new life into the franchise. Fans of the series and newcomers alike will find it a rich, fluid, and enjoyable experience. After the disappointment of Rune Factory 5, this new chapter clearly puts the series back on track.

Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV offers some nice additions for the extra cost, though I would have hoped for a little more. The new board modes, Jamboree Express and Bowser Show, enrich the experience in an original way, although they lack depth. The integration of the Switch 2's unique features, such as mouse mode, camera, and microphone, brings a breath of fresh air to the franchise, and I hope to see more of this in the future.

Being able to get your hands on a game that has left its mark on several generations and the industry is always a privilege. Despite not having had the chance to play it back in the day, getting to play an improved version is wonderful. However, the additional content is rather thin, and if you're a long-time fan, you're bound to be disappointed. Nostalgia is all well and good, but it still needs to be justified. Fortunately, the price is reasonable overall, and of course, there are hours of gameplay to be had. Suikoden and Konami aren't revolutionizing anything this time around. Some will find it worthwhile, others won't. But don't miss out on the chance to experience these incredible adventures!

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is, as its name suggests, the best version for enjoying the experience imagined by the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio team. The game has been optimized to the max to give Nintendo Switch 2 owners a stable and superior experience compared to other consoles. It's the perfect introduction to the unique and fascinating world of the franchise. However, those who have already completed the game may not be convinced by the 30 minutes of added cutscenes (which remain somewhat anecdotal) or the exclusive multiplayer mode. Clearly, I recommend the title to anyone who has never had the opportunity to play the game in the past.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a great success for Atlus, offering much more than just a technical overhaul. This return of the 14th Devil Summoner skillfully blends nostalgia and modernity, with welcome additions that make the experience smoother, more immersive, and as intriguing as ever. While it doesn't reach the production heights of some of the studio's contemporary titles, this re-release is still an excellent way to rediscover a lesser-known part of the Shin Megami Tensei series. For long-time fans and curious newcomers alike looking for an atypical action RPG with a touch of the occult, it's well worth the journey.

Lies of P: Overture offers even more of what we initially liked. Without revolutionizing anything, it simply adds what made us love the game in the first place. Sublime settings in a magnificent universe, tough but memorable bosses and variety in the gameplay. We sincerely hope that the team of developers is already working on the sequel, because we can't wait to see what they can do!

This Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a declaration of love to enthusiasts. It's a playground for combo addicts, and a great gateway for a new generation of players. The Iron Galaxy studio has even added a few new features without altering the original experience. Nevertheless, the changes to the soundtrack and the altered structure of the 4th opus could disappoint a portion of the community. Fortunately, the overall picture is made up for by the excellent visual realization and consistently excellent gameplay.

The little story of Pinocchio offers a rich canvas for exploring far beyond the original tale. Round 8 Studio and NEOWIZ have succeeded brilliantly. Without revolutionizing the genre, they have made Lies of P a game of the highest quality. The combat is excellent, the world is varied and exciting to explore, and the story, though simple, is perfectly executed. In short, among all that's available in the genre, Lies of P is one of the best propositions. And for a Soulslike fan like me, that's excellent news!

With Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo marks a bold and successful return for its legendary primate. Buoyed by its dazzling art direction, refreshing gameplay and endearing main duo, the game brilliantly combines nostalgia and innovation. Destructive mechanics, secret-filled levels and a wealth of customization options make for an experience as rich as it is surprising. Much more than a simple nod to the past, Bananza affirms Nintendo's ambition to renew its flagship licenses on Switch 2. And the least we can say is that the challenge has been met.

Stellar Blade on PC isn't just a simple port: it's the ultimate version of the experience. With its graphical customization, enhanced fluidity and compatibility with several scaling technologies, this version takes full advantage of the capabilities of modern machines. If the story doesn't change, this is clearly the best way to enjoy the experience. I do, however, regret the few optimization issues, which I hope will be addressed in a future update. I particularly recommend the game to those who haven't yet had the chance to complete the adventure.

REMATCH is the archetypal game that arrives with a clear vision, solid execution, but still stumbles over a few technical and structural details. It doesn't set out to reinvent everything, but it does so with such sincerity that we can only applaud the effort. The result is an addictive proposition that can appeal to neophytes and experts alike. If the developers correct the current problems and improve the offering, the game could well become a must-have on the competitive scene.
