It's noteworthy that Ubisoft's developers put considerable effort into the game, both the base game and this Switch 2 version; however, there's still work to be done. For the future of the franchise, I hope that the direction will be more focused and less diffuse. The concept of placing the player in various different historical periods is still fascinating and, with better execution, could deliver even more satisfying results.

Instead of betting on a vast open world or a grand online component, Kirby Air Riders sticks more to its own game, with its satisfying single-player campaign, chaos, and creativity.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with making a game that children can play, enjoy, and even complete. The problem arises from the fact that Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club is unable to make itself interesting beyond its mechanical capabilities as an adventure game, which aren't very good either.

BEYBLADE X EVOBATTLE manages to be fun for a contemporary fan like me, but it's not a game that will appeal to someone who got involved with some of the three previous generations and wants to experience the franchise again.

I had way more fun than I expected with Tomb Raider, maybe it's because it's been a while since I played something like this, but I was able to simply appreciate everything from beginning to end. Even switching between the TV and portable mode, the game still works perfectly and is quite fun to enjoy in the most casual way possible. At the end of the game, the feeling that remains is: where are the other games in the Survivor trilogy? Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider seem like two games that would run easily on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Replanted aims to make the classic more accessible, prettier, and more enjoyable to play. For those who miss the original, or even for those who have never had contact with the series, this version ends up being a very comfortable way to experience Plants vs. Zombies.

Hitman: Absolution is a rather weak title for a series that values creativity and freedom of expression for its players. Despite introducing good ideas, which were carried over to the World of Assassination trilogy and even ported to Blood Money – Reprisal, the experience itself leaves much to be desired for those seeking the Hitman formula.

My experience with Overcooked! 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition was quite positive. I didn't feel there were major improvements from the Switch 2 version to the original Switch version, although it is smoother and has very fast loading times. For those who like to play with family or friends at home, it's an excellent choice, and it's also possible to take advantage of GameShare if you have friends with Switch 2s who live far away.

Groove Coaster Future Performers is a good rhythm game that presents a must-play sensory spectacle with its music, even if it's not for every type of player. Its Story mode is truly thrilling, but features many frustrations due to being incomplete and trying to unnecessarily pad the game for extra play value. The sum of its parts is worth it, though it could have even receive a Perfect evaluation were it treated with a little more care.

It's a short experience that you'll want to repeat again and again, whether to complete the image gallery that the remaster offers, or simply to discover the secrets the game holds; after all, the game's ending changes depending on the R-Type you choose to play!

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection could have offered more new features and improvements because – as much as it pains me to say this – it's a product of its time. The game emulation has some technical problems that can be fixed in the long term, as does the online mode, which was what disappointed me most in this game. The choice of titles could also have been more selective and robust. But, given the problems I faced, in the end, the high point of this collection, at least for now, is the fact that it's a kind of interactive documentary. And, for me, that's perfectly fine!

With its agile, fast-paced, and satisfying combat, as well as eye-catching aesthetics, Demonschool is a great choice for those who love a Tactical RPG.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a lesson learned from all the work done adapting popular series into musou games. It not only draws from its predecessor, but also makes good choices considering the best aspects introduced in these productions in recent years.

Despite its flaws, I still believe Forestrike holds great value. The art is beautiful, simulating the shanshui style of the Ming dynasty, the combat is truly engaging, and I see a strong fit with players who enjoy SIFU, not only because of the theme but also because of the central ideas surrounding both titles.

Not much in Stray Children is particularly new, but what isn't, is extremely well-made, managing to mark a grand evolution of the genre. It would be very easy to write a headline like "Stray Children is Undertale on steroids, much bigger and better," but the reality is that Stray Children is far beyond a simple Undertale clone, managing to be a completely original game that will certainly stay with me for many years.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake brings excellent new versions of two very important classics in the history of the genre. Square Enix managed to continue the wonderful work done in DQIII HD-2D Remake and introduced very good new features and improvements, modernizing two classics for current platforms. Despite some hiccups with DQI, the package itself is highly recommended for fans of the genre and veterans of the franchise.

Atelier Ryza Trilogy DX features three captivating adventures that defy those who think its popularity comes solely from a young woman with an appealing design. All the games are of undeniable quality. They are made with love, designed for both old-school fans and new adventurers. Above all, they are accessible and modern games, and although different from their predecessors in composition, they are still Atelier in body and soul.

The original Yakuza Kiwami port for the Switch achieved good results given its hardware limitations, but the superiority of this native Switch 2 version is undeniable. Players will find a great experience worthy of the PlayStation 2 classic, but of course, if you haven't upgraded yet, the previous version is also great.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 makes me believe in ports of the entire series on the Switch due to the use of the current graphics engine, even though this entire multiplatform expansion of the series after being stuck for several years in exclusivity with PlayStation seems like a dream. I believe that the more people who have access to it [the series], the better, and this game is a very good release in the franchise overall, considering its importance in laying the groundwork for titles released later.
