A Investigação Póstuma is an investigative adventure with a creative concept, a unique setting, and plenty of personality. The combination of a noir Rio de Janeiro, characters inspired by Machado de Assis, a jazz soundtrack with bossa nova influences, and a time-loop structure works well to create a distinctive experience within the Nintendo Switch library.

Sep 16, 2026

Roman Sands RE:Build was the first narrative title of 2026 to intrigue me, primarily because it recognizes that the defining feature of games as a storytelling medium is gameplay, not text. Text serves merely as a tool to shape the interactive experience; in fact, the dialogue—while pretentious and repetitive—does not negatively impact the adventure, given the nature of its time-based theme, but actually sets a fitting tone for the work. But when a technical issue prevents the player from experiencing the work as intended, the promise unfortunately cannot be kept. A narrative that seeks to draw an intriguing parallel with Plato’s Cave—in a game of philosophical perceptions that is far from juvenile—ultimately remains trapped by the shadows cast on the wall, with the exit sealed off by a bug.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- is the perfect way to experience the game that popularized the roguelike structure in Japan, featuring improvements that don't detract from the original experience but instead smooth out the gameplay itself.

The new Boku no Hero title hits the mark with more robust combat and greater mechanical depth than its predecessors. While the new direction might not appeal to every longtime fan, it is creatively very bold.

8.5 / 10.0 - Another Eden Begins
Sep 14, 2026

Yes, fellow gacha player, I know full well I can clear the game's content without spending a dime—but what if I had unlimited access to "all" the content for a flat fee, without that summer banner proving just how... you know what? Better stop right there. Another Eden is good—really good. Play Another Eden Begins. Uninstall those gacha games from your phone, break free from the chains, and go back to a good old-fashioned RPG.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an excellent revival of Onimusha. The strengths of the franchise's modernization easily stand out, elevating the game to a level that makes it a great title in its genre. The combat system's potential is formidable, turning challenging boss battles into moments of pure tension that deliver immense satisfaction upon completion. Musashi is also one of the series' best protagonists; his mannerisms are entertaining, and his character development is a major highlight of the narrative.

8 / 10.0 - Angeline Era
Sep 12, 2026

Having largely managed to balance a freer, non-linear nature with a design that intuitively guides the player, Angeline Era is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, without the urge to rush toward the conclusion. Ultimately, it is a game about secrets, where every nuance of its design philosophy hinges on the player's curiosity to explore the map—investigating every nook and cranny that looks even slightly suspicious in order to unravel not just the world itself, but its story as well.

I understand those who are bothered by or criticize the direction the game took; on the other hand, that sense of excess and the absurdist side of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 actually fit quite well with the game's unique, over-the-top fantasy style. Masatsugu Saito’s character designs for Pyra and Mythra are honestly magnificent, and having played the game so many times, I’ve grown fond of the characters as actual people; ultimately, whether or not the artist had less-than-noble intentions behind the designs is something that just doesn't register for me.

This pack is an essential part of the franchise and it's notable to see MGS4 finally available in more systems. There's a legacy preservation effort and the pack is full of extras, but there's a feeling that, as a collection or a new way to present these games, it could still be more.

Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle delivers genuinely fun action gameplay and movement mechanics the likes of which you’ll rarely see in other games. All in all, if this review has piqued your interest but you’ve never read or watched the original work, experience that first and then give the game a try—I guarantee it’ll be worth it!

6.5 / 10.0 - 1000xRESIST
Sep 3, 2026

I admit to being curious about future projects from the developers of 1000xRESIST, as I recognize their immense potential. However, I find it impossible to place the game on a pedestal, having been somewhat frustrated by its writing.

9 / 10.0 - Orbitals
Sep 2, 2026

I can confidently say that Orbitals is a must-play multiplayer experience on the Nintendo Switch 2, offering charm, polish, and plenty of fun. Creativity and attention to detail shine through in every aspect of the gameplay, and it is hard to ask for anything more from a great game.

One mistake many critics make in their analysis is judging a work by what it could have been rather than by what it actually is. If you go in expecting a "Souls-like" experience, you are unlikely to appreciate Wo Long. But if you view it as a dark fantasy take on Koei’s greatest strengths, blended with elements from various Team Ninja titles? It becomes very hard to put the controller down.

Lately, I’ve felt little desire to keep playing Pokopia—largely because there is simply too much to do, which left me paralyzed when trying to decide what to prioritize. Bubbly Basin, however, offers a fresh start; returning to a state where the game is more guided, with clear objectives, has been great for revitalizing the experience.

6 / 10.0 - Madden NFL 27
Aug 29, 2026

EA SPORTS Madden NFL 27 is a complex American football simulator that keep the strengths and weaknesses of the franchise. The first contact by a new player highlights the difficulties of the game, but there' room for learning and to enjoy the sport if the player makes and effort and the heavy online dependency [of the modes] isn't an issue.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a minor miracle simply for running on the Switch 2. For a game that isn't optimized even on more powerful consoles, the version dedicated to Nintendo's system still delivers good visuals—despite glaring performance limitations—and a portability that pairs perfectly with the sandbox nature of Bethesda RPGs.

If you also skipped Elden Ring during the previous generation and were waiting for the Switch 2 version to launch, the Tarnished Edition is an easy recommendation for me to make. It is one of the best RPGs I have ever played, and even arriving a few years after the original release, it remains an experience worth discovering for anyone.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is a fun title that successfully captures the anime's action and excitement on the virtual pitch. Gameplay additions make the experience even more strategic, and customizing your own athlete is enjoyable—especially with the introduction of the new position. The narrative is another major highlight, particularly because this marks the first time this specific arc has been adapted for another medium.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a prime example of a "6 out of 10" game: passable and nothing more. It may have more flaws than merits, yet it somehow manages to deliver enough fun that, upon finishing the campaign, the player thinks, "It was actually pretty decent." For me, that was far more than I had expected from it.

5 / 10.0 - Starsand Island
Aug 22, 2026

If I could make one wish, it would be for Starsand Island to have spent a little more time in the oven. I was initially excited for the patches, as I really wanted to play a polished version of the game. After a few crashes forced me to replay entire days, boredom set in, and the title will have a hard time winning back my goodwill.
