Ruffy and the Riverside delivers a platform game that pays homage to the classics while also being its own original entry. The core mechanics are innovative and the visuals are utterly charming, and despite the unconventional pace of the plot and the rather flat progression, the game is guaranteed to be fun for fans of 3D platformers.

9 / 10.0 - Mario Kart World
Jun 23, 2025

Mario Kart World was one of Nintendo’s best decisions with the arrival of the Switch 2. The game is visually stunning, features a nostalgic soundtrack, and offers a large amount of collectible content. Perhaps the biggest downside is, indeed, the price. Even with all the new features, it’s a value that only the most passionate Mario Kart fans will be willing to pay outside of the bundle.

8.5 / 10.0 - Hogwarts Legacy
Jun 20, 2025

Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch 2 offers an adventure set in Hogwarts, letting you live the life of a student at the most popular and beloved school of witchcraft and wizardry. However, the main story falls short in some areas, with a few plot holes that leave certain questions unanswered. Many of the side quests are engaging and well-written. The game also features dynamic combat, allowing players to create interesting builds — and with the Nintendo Switch 2’s mouse mode, the battles become even more fun.

8 / 10.0 - Despelote
Jun 10, 2025

A very simple and short game that features a highly nostalgic and creative visual style, along with a storyline that, while rooted in its country of origin, captures the essence of childhood and the magic of football in an almost universal way.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a great example of recycling content and turning it into a new experience. Even while it stumbles in some technical aspects, it truly shines when it comes to the game's original content.

A necessary revitalization of the 2006 classic, Oblivion Remastered brings impressive graphics and several positive changes. Unfortunately, the desire to keep the original material untouched overshadows the game’s full potential, and even some issues from the original release still persist to this day.

May 27, 2025

The Precinct delivers an immersive police experience, full of action, surprises, and challenges faced during patrols, but with some big flaws. The gameplay becomes repetitive pretty quickly and the artificial intelligence of our patrol companion doesnt work like it should, creating some issues.

DOOM: The Dark Ages takes the franchise to a medieval era, introducing new gameplay mechanics and adding more depth to the Slayer's journey.

A comfortable adventure that doesn't stray far from the formula already established in Sea of Stars, benefiting from a shorter campaign with better pacing and standing out thanks to its circus-themed aesthetic, featuring highly charismatic visuals and animations.
