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.

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.

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.
