s.p.l.i.t. is an indie hacking game where the player must sabotage a superstructure in a dystopian world using only terminal commands. Featuring a retro-futuristic aesthetic, a narrative driven by ethical choices, and multiple endings, the game delivers intense immersion but demands dedication due to its steep learning curve and limited accessibility.

Killing Floor 3 is the latest installment in the franchise from Tripwire Interactive, released on July 24, 2025. The game retains its signature frantic combat against hordes of Zeds in cooperative matches for up to six players, now featuring a fixed class system, more dynamic maps, and strategic traps. It delivers enhanced graphics, industrial sci-fi environments, and gameplay mechanics that emphasize teamwork—without abandoning the classic elements that made the series a fan favorite.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a promising souls-like game that stands out for its fluid, technical, and engaging combat, with good customization and progression possibilities. The story, while interesting in premise, suffers from excessive tropes and a poorly paced narrative. The level design is repetitive, and exploration is unrewarding. The initial difficulty is unbalanced, but improves with progression. Technically, the game is stable and impresses with its small size and performance modes. With a rich and artistic setting, Wuchang delivers a challenging, albeit flawed, experience and is a good choice for fans of the genre who prioritize gameplay.

Hell Clock is, without a doubt, one of the biggest surprises of 2025. Developed by a Brazilian team and set in the Northeast of Brazil, the game delivers a captivating narrative with refined gameplay and well-built progression systems. All of this results in a fun, challenging, and extremely original experience.

Even though Shadow Labyrinth is a tribute, it's also an adventure completely diverging of what's expected of PAC-MAN's standards, and even with some flaws here and there, it impresses with its robust and potential-filled final result, being a project that pleases fans of the genre and the company's franchises alike.

The Drifter is an adventure game that recalls great point-and-click classics, but doesn't get too hung up on them. It has a very original and creative story, delivering a very charming game with truly impeccable voice work.

No Sleep For Kaname Date is a spin-off of the AI: The Somnium Files series, which focuses on sci-fi comedy with creative and challenging puzzles and escape rooms. The game stands out for its visual charm, striking soundtrack, and accessible, yet simple, gameplay. The story is eccentric and fun, but requires a good level of English. For fans of the series, it's a curious addition; for newcomers, it's a good (if strange) introduction to Kotaro Uchikoshi's unique style.

Star Overdrive is an ambitious game that delivers a lot of fun through its movement mechanics across the open world using a hoverboard. Unfortunately, however, it falls short by going overboard with the addition of systems and mechanics that lack the necessary polish to work as the studio intended, making much of the gameplay loop feel repetitive.

Mecha BREAK delivers dynamic PvP combat, impressive visuals, and a good variety of mechs, ensuring fun for fans of the genre. The PvPvE mode, however, is repetitive and uninspiring. Aggressive monetization may also drive away casual players, with high prices for unlocks and cosmetics. Still, as a free title, it offers enough content to make the experience worthwhile.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S delivers exactly what it promises: a casual and fun experience with good replay value. It is a game that does not take itself too seriously, and it does not need to. Its value lies in providing quick and engaging matches. With more attention to localization and online matchmaking, it could become one of the essential titles of the new generation on the Switch. For now, it is a good choice for those who enjoy puzzles and appreciate local multiplayer.

Rematch delivers fun gameplay with great depth, but it does make some missteps in its progression systems, which, combined with some minor bugs, ultimately prevent the title from scoring a spectacular goal in its launch state.

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.

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.

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.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of The Soulless Army succeeds in staying true to the original 2005 game, bringing some quality-of-life improvements and new content without significantly altering the original experience. Although combat remains the weakest aspect of the paranormal detective’s first solo adventure, RAIDOU Remastered does a great job of introducing the franchise to a new generation of fans while welcoming back longtime followers who have been waiting for the series return.
