Pikmin 4: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy elevates a modern classic into an essential weekly staple, using crisp 4K visuals and brilliant weekend Dandori exams to make Nintendo's best strategy game feel entirely fresh again.
Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos is a charming, breezy 3D platformer that serves as an accessible entry point for newcomers, successfully blending cozy 2000s retro aesthetics with vital modern quality-of-life updates. Driven by bright visuals, adorable cutscenes, and a feel-good soundtrack, the 2026 Remaster shines on the Switch 2 with smooth performance, simple controls, and fluid twin-stick camera movement that eliminates retro platforming frustration. While its basic mini-games, dated room-by-room stage layouts, and straightforward gameplay mean it won't reinvent the genre or keep you up all night grinding, its varied level objectives and stress-free vibe make it a delightfully cozy weekend play.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is a breathtaking Switch 2 overhaul that elevates a timeless classic into an essential modern masterpiece. With gorgeous visuals, modernized controls, a majestic orchestrated score, and clever QoL additions, it's the definitive way to experience one of gaming's greatest achievements.
Although multiplayer holds it back, Modern Warfare 4 still stands out as one of the strongest Call of Duty titles in years, offering a stellar campaign with a compelling story and an engaging extraction mode with more identity than before. If this is indeed the last offering in the rebooted subfranchise, it will certainly go out on a high note.
The Diablo 4: Age of Hatred Collection brings an addictive loot loop, satisfying combat, and a huge amount of content to Switch 2. While performance takes a hit in busy expansion areas, the real dealbreaker is the strict always-online requirement, which cripples its potential as a true portable game. It’s a great companion for cross-save home play, but hard to recommend as a primary handheld experience.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a triumphant return to Wuhu Island, delivering reliable family-friendly fun and slick motion-control tracking. While it cannot quite recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle magic or iconic hardware feel of the original Wii Sports, its expanded modes, free-roaming exploration, and solid game roster make it an easy recommendation for couch multiplayer.
Ultimately, Resident Evil 4 Remake on Switch 2 is a perfect way to enjoy a modern classic that easily justifies its price tag. Minor handheld framerate dips aside, Capcom has pulled off another major triumph by bringing it to a hybrid system. Bundled with the stellar Separate Ways DLC and Mercenaries, this is an essential, relatively compromise-free package that belongs in every Switch 2 library.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is a dark, unapologetically explicit survival horror game that faithfully captures the franchise’s BDSM aesthetic and grotesque body horror, elevated by impressive world design and Doug Bradley’s stellar voice performance as Pinhead. However, its immersive atmosphere is heavily dragged down by severe mechanical friction, including fragile weapon durability, checkpoint-free boss fights, and bugged save files that risk wiping hours of progress.
Overall, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse proves that Evil Empire knows exactly how to honor a legacy without being stuck in the past. It has its flaws—namely, its subdued soundtrack, uneven boss design, and somewhat slow start—but its atmospheric world, deliberate combat, and rewarding exploration make it a standout experience for Metroidvania fans.
If you haven’t played a modern survival horror masterpiece, you can’t go wrong with Resident Evil 2 on the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s on par with other platforms when docked, and it still delivers a solid experience on the go.
Overall, don’t bother with this one if you haven’t played any of the prior Resident Evil games. It’s okay; it’s not a bad game. It just feels incomplete, and even if you don’t have a point of reference, Resident Evil 3 Remake offers little to no value after the insultingly short campaign.
Valor Mortis is a largely successful blend of the soulslike genre and first-person action. The story becomes the player's main drive, featuring an intriguing, mysterious plot set in an uncharted time period. Its linear world design goes well with the Metroidvania exploration and gameplay mechanics, as it never feels stale on a first run. A simple skill tree and weapons/Transmutations upgrade path diminish any replay value, something that buyers should know before acquiring it.
Gears of War: E-Day delivers arguably the franchise's finest, most atmospheric campaign, brilliantly balancing pulse-pounding action with genuine horror roots. By pairing breathtaking Series X visuals and refined combat with a deeply emotional return to Marcus and Dom, The Coalition has delivered a masterclass prequel that restores complete faith in Xbox's future. A triumph from start to finish.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Neon Abyss 2. It’s fun, easy to pick up and play, packed with progression systems to keep you hooked, and offers customization that lets you make runs as easy or as hard as you want. I would’ve loved more opportunities to build proper builds rather than mostly incremental upgrades each run, which could have added an extra layer of complexity that best-in-class games have.
Overall I’m absolutely addicted to Star Wars: Galactic Racer. It’s as close as we’ve ever gotten to the thrills of the original N64 game. While far from perfect, Fuse Games has delivered a uniquely fun, high-speed roguelite racer that any Star Wars fan should pick up and play.
Crisis Core Reunion on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic release of a solid game. It’s one of those rare instances where it easily becomes the definitive way to play a classic—especially since tracking down a working PSP in this economy is getting harder by the day.The only glaring downside is, once again, Square Enix's refusal to offer an upgrade path for fans who bought the inferior original Switch version.
Minecraft Dungeons 2 takes undeniable steps forward with a fully interconnected Overworld, much-needed mobility upgrades, and a visually striking new dimension that teases the franchise's future. However, despite a deeper loot system and smart quality-of-life changes, the core experience doesn't step out of its comfort zone quite enough to convert anyone who wasn't already a fan. Ultimately, it remains a highly polished, accessible "Diablo for kids" that existing fans will adore, even if it leaves hardcore ARPG veterans wanting more.
FC 27 feels like a giant step forward and a frustrating step back all at once. Behind the headlines of Career Mode overhauls and new social spaces lies an experience bogged down by clunky design choices and repetitive bugs. It has the foundational ideas to be a turning point for the franchise, but until EA addresses the glaring lack of polish, fans are left waiting for the game to live up to its real potential.
Ultimately, Silent Hill: Townfall is an interesting experiment: both a masterclass in atmospheric dread and environmental puzzle design that gets bogged down by an exhausting, uneven, frustrating gameplay loop. Screen Burn’s St. Amelia is a desolate destination well worth visiting for its sheer aesthetic brilliance. But between the trial-and-error stealth and a narrative that fails to stick its landing, it's an experience that will definitely test your patience. It may not be as flawless as fans hoped, but for those willing to endure its frustrating lows, its brilliant highs are well worth it.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a visually stunning departure that trades the series' beloved tactical combat for heavy JRPG exploration. While the core grid battles are brilliant, they are too often buried under clunky real-time dungeons and tedious open-world busywork. It is an ambitious, beautiful experiment, but strategy purists may find themselves left out in the cold.
