RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is an excellent update to the original game, making the game truly feel modern. With a style that remains unique within the franchise, it's worth investigating the game in person to get to know its charm.

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition is “at home” on the Nintendo Switch 2. With more than enough content to rack up three digits on the video game counter, the title is aimed at those who want to manage territories and track the progression of the experience automatically, based on their own choices, requiring a meticulous strategy in the simple act of allocating resources. There is, however, a complexity that may scare off certain players, highlighted by the shallow explanations in the tutorials.

Gex Trilogy brings Gex to a new generation of players in a package that offers the expected additions of a re-release, but falls short in trying to offer significant improvements to the games. The package is a good reminder of why the character only stayed in the 90s, whether due to his dated lines or the lack of necessary innovations in his formula to make him stand out in a genre with many rivals.

It's perhaps one of the most interesting and fun tactical RPGs I've ever played. This makes Front Mission 3 certainly not a game for “babies”, considering how complex it can be, which confuses me even more as to why the game behaves (narratively) as such.

Ruffy and the Riverside is a very creative and fun game. The visuals are very good, the controls are great, the NPCs are charismatic and funny and overall it doesn't leave anything to be desired in any aspect... except for the optimization on the Nintendo Switch.

With few setbacks, which are negligible to a certain extent, it is a complete package, with an immersive story that uses the media in which it was produced to tell it in a different way than anything that could be seen in an animation or traditional book. This is one experience that will remain in my memory as one of the most spectacular.

Between demos, minigames, stamps and information centers, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour does its job very well. It won't shock the world like Wii Sports or be a more complete experience like Nintendo Land, but it's a simple and straightforward perspective tailor-made for a tech-curious person like me.

BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster is finally out of "3DS jail", and now gamers have the chance to play this beloved classic on Switch 2. However, and I can't say this lightly, it seems to me that this game was only taken out so Square Enix could say they had a launch title ready for the Switch 2 sometimes. It's not a bad game, I want to make that clear, but in 2025, Bravely Default is going to have a hard time standing out, especially with its story.

A must-play for UNDERTALE fans, DELTARUNE is an experience that delivers as much excellence as its predecessor (if not more, considering the amount of content offered), improving combat mechanics and featuring an equally impeccable soundtrack. It's fun, funny, captivating and exciting.

Chronicles of the Wolf is a great representative of the metroidvania style, being accessible to players new to the genre while still being intriguing to veterans with its secrets and atmosphere.

It's not a terrible game; I mean, it's a strictly decent game. I had a good time with it for a few brief moments, but I quickly got bored after a few hours. It's not a game worth hating on, and I don't think it's worth condemning someone for choosing to play this game as a Harry Potter fan. After all, if this game had come out at any other time, no one would have cared about Hogwarts Legacy, and it would have been a drop in the ocean. And the bottom line is: it's a mediocre game, and it deserves a score that would put you one tenth of the way away from passing school.

Battle Train is very good, both as an idea and as a game. Amidst the many rogue-likes that come out, Battle Train truly understands how essential it is to at least bring something different, even if small, to draw attention, and it does this very well. Using deckbuilding and building a board full of trains can be incredible, with my only criticism being the feeling of injustice I felt with certain bosses at various times.

The more you play, the more it becomes clear that Yakuza 0 hasn't aged at all in a decade. Being an excellent starting point for those who want to venture into the series for the first time, the Director's Cut brings welcome improvements, not just visual ones, and justifies its existence on the Nintendo Switch 2, becoming the definitive version of a work that was able to preserve its virtues.

Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX is an RPG that bets on tenderness, affection and an extremely introspectiv approach. Its subtle narrative allied with an expressive cast makes a compelling experience while alchemy, though challenging, opens an entire universe of possibilities to those who wish to dive into its complexities. On the other hand, the game doesn't hold our hand: vague tutorials, unclear objectives and confusing navigation can be tiresome and get in the way of the time-limited adventure. Even so, Ayesha has soul, a element that, in a game about rediscoving connections and embracing little moments, is worth a lot.

The biggest difficulty in evaluating this version lies in a decision that has little to do with the gaming experience. For some reason, SEGA decided not to adopt the “upgrade” system for games that are already available on the first Nintendo Switch and receive the “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition”. In other words, if you paid full price for the game when it was released on the first Switch, if you want to see the graphical improvements on the new console, you will have to pay full price again.

Despite a certain monotony of repetition, the overall experience of Survival Kids is an initial experience, even to test the online emphasis of the Switch 2. For its target audience of children, the game serves as a good introduction to management and puzzle games, even if at certain moments its challenges have solutions pointed out by the narrator and by visual clues that make the answers somewhat pleasant. Fans of original games will certainly be displeased if they expect the classic formula, but since the game does not intend to follow this path, it is not worth judging it in light of the past.

Date Everything! is a dating sim that knows exactly what it is: funny, absurd, and delightfully meta. It consciously relies on parasociality, almost as an extension of the fandoms that orbit the voice actors it stars in. It doesn’t pretend to be profound, and that’s okay. It’s like dating an enchanted object: weird, fun, and unexpectedly captivating.

Mario Kart World is a game that had everything going for it. A new concept, a vastly more powerful console... but it has some design choices that I just can't understand. And of course, I have to talk about the elephant in the room. It's a game that costs a whopping 90 dollars in Brazil. [...] So is this a game that is worth 90 dollars? Unfortunately, that answer is no, at least considering the amount of content it offers at the moment. Now, if the game was only 60 dollars, then I could recommend it. Because if you don't care much for the interconnected tracks or the new Knockout Tours, then Mario Kart World falls apart really quickly, as it leans very heavily on the concept.

Gal Metal is a rhythm game that demands effort from the player, but rewards said effort in equal measure with a stylish form of musical freedom. Together with a fun, nonsensical slice-of-life narrative experience in an everyday simulator format, the game really is something unique on the market and a fantastic proposition that only makes sense on Nintendo Switch.

Even after playing for several hours, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S isn't exactly an easy game to recommend. Don't get me wrong - it's definitely not a bad game, but rather, one that has a bit of an entry barrier for beginners, especially in its story mode. The extra modes that the Switch 2 version brings honestly don't add much to the game itself, and I think SEGA could definitely have released this as an Upgrade Pack, and maybe finally released the Switch 1 version on the Brazilian eShop. I wouldn't recommend it to newcomers, except if you find it at a sale, but I can see a Tetris or Puyo Puyo expert getting a kick out of it.
