Tales of ARISE arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 in its definitive edition, including the base game and its expansion DLC. The title delivers an extremely fun and stylish combat system, accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack and a gorgeous anime-inspired art direction. However, the experience is held back by overly linear exploration, limited enemy variety, and a narrative that doesn’t reach the same level of excellence as other games in the franchise. On Switch 2, performance issues also prevent this from being, at least for now, the definitive version of the game.

LEGO Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight masterfully delivers on its proposal to celebrate more than 80 years of the hero’s history, bringing a story packed with references and GREAT humor, alongside a lively Gotham City that invites exploration, marking the beginning of a new era for the franchise, despite stepping on a few LEGO bricks with a somewhat repetitive combat system and little enemy variety.

Call of the Elder Gods presents good ideas and interesting puzzles, but the game falls a bit short and is heavily hindered by tiring gameplay and an art direction that feels uninspired at times, taking away much of the title’s shine and potential.

Invincible VS is a fun and accessible fighting game, highlighted by its 3v3 system and stable online mode. The gameplay is addictive and works well, especially in matches against other players. On the other hand, the content is still limited, the story mode is disappointing, and some aspects of the combat could be more refined. Overall, it’s a solid start, with the potential to become one of the FGC’s new favorites as updates roll out.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream fully embraces absurdity and nonsensical humor, expanding on everything that made the franchise win over players on the Nintendo 3DS. With a robust Mii creation system that truly unleashes creativity, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is definitely the most chaotic and entertaining life simulator of recent years.

Little Nightmares VR is a good choice for fans of the franchise and is certainly a good transition of the series' atmosphere to virtual reality, but unfortunately it fails to be more than that, lacking originality and not straying far from the franchise's comfort zone.

Bus Bound is a good bus simulator when it comes to its immersive driving mechanics and the variety of buses available, also featuring a solid route creation system. However, it stumbles with an uninteresting progression system and a somewhat repetitive gameplay loop.

Starfield delivers a solid and immersive experience, giving wings to the fantasy of becoming a space explorer in an extremely dense universe rich with detail and unique stories to be lived.

Pragmata is a pleasant surprise, and with a simple detail it managed to deliver a very satisfying gameplay loop with a high level of polish, not to mention the creative scenarios, the charisma of the protagonists, and the diversity of progression and secondary content.

Crimson Desert is a rough diamond of colossal ambition. Pearl Abyss stumbles in its delivery of a convoluted story, graphical optimization issues, and an excess of unexplained systems, but at the same time, the title makes up for its shortcomings by delivering one of the densest, most alive, and most rewarding open worlds of the current generation. For those with the patience to master its punishing learning curve, the reward is an absolutely unforgettable journey.

Marathon is an extraordinary game that stands out with an exotic aesthetic, visceral gunplay, an excellent Runner Shell system, and lore that is masterfully delivered through its matches. However, it falls short with a slow and unwelcoming start for new players, something that could easily be improved in future seasons.

World of Warcraft: Midnight centers its conflict on the Void's invasion of Quel'Thalas and introduces new features such as Housing, a Loot System, Story Mode in raids, and a new specialization for the Demon Hunter. Despite some narrative gaps and signs of repetition, Midnight is a solid expansion, satisfying veterans while holding great potential to welcome newcomers.

Although not a perfect sequel to the original Super Meat Boy, its 3D version is a good enough evolution, and even with some missteps, it delivers a fun, challenging, and quite stressful (in a positive way) game.

Posthumous Investigation doesn't just rely on paying homage to one of the great classics of Brazilian literature; beyond the retelling, it delivers a game that respects your freedom and intelligence as a player by presenting a game with little guidance and full of puzzles that only the best point-and-click games know how to do.

Life Is Strange: Reunion is a return that plays it safe, but clearly understands exactly what fans want to see. Even with some pacing issues and without major gameplay innovations, the game delivers an intriguing story, impactful choices, and a meaningful reunion between Max and Chloe. With more mature characters, strong narrative mechanics, and a memorable soundtrack, Reunion works less as a revolution and more as an emotional conclusion, offering a solid experience for those who have followed this story from the beginning.
