Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster on Switch 2 is an essential pickup for newcomers, bringing timeless combat and game-changing PC boosters to a sharp handheld presentation. However, with almost identical side-by-side visuals, a locked 30fps, and no save transfer option or upgrade path, existing Switch 1 owners should hold off for a decent sale.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is the best version of a must-play RPG. By hitting a solid 60fps performance boost for the most part, adding traversal options like the Ether Jet, and bringing in new fully voiced character interactions, Monolith Soft has refined everything that held previous releases back from truly shining.

Halo Campaign Evolved delivers breathtaking visual upgrades, polished cutscenes, and standout prequel missions that give PlayStation players a taste of Xbox history. However, dated 2001 level design and the baffling omission of competitive multiplayer significantly reduce its overall value. It’s an enjoyable nostalgia trip through Halo’s classic campaign, but a tough sell at full price, especially for veterans.

Ultimately, a lackluster story mode and a lean launch roster can’t hold back what is easily one of the most mechanically refreshing 1v1 fighters I’ve played recently. Whether you're an FGC veteran looking for a gameplay-first experience or a casual Avatar fan just wanting to press some buttons and watch your favorite characters pull off incredible sequences in a gorgeously animated 2D fighter, Avatar Legends delivers where it matters most.

I was disappointed Splatoon Raiders was revealed as a single-player spin-off, but I was dead wrong. It is incredible, playing like a brilliant mix of Ratchet & Clank meets Helldivers that hooked me instantly. Teaming up with the Deep Cut crew, the loop of raiding Salmonid hordes for loot and upgrades is deeply satisfying. The overhauled movement adds a sense of verticality that the main games desperately need, and progression actually feels rewarding rather than a slow grind. Even with a more atmospheric than catchy soundtrack, this is an absolute must-play. Take it from a skeptic: Splatoon Raiders might just be the best game in the whole franchise.

I haven’t played a game that captivated me as much right from the get-go as Denshattack has. The initial premise is so ridiculously outlandish that it’s hard to ignore. But I never even considered it could have such an interesting narrative behind it, one that’s surprisingly tied to real-life issues Japan is facing. My only issue is that there isn’t more Denshattack to enjoy. Undercoders cooked up a proper gem—a game that reminds you not everything has been said and done in gaming, and an absolute must-play that needs to be in your collection right now. It is my Game of the Year thus far and it could potentially be yours as well.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is an absolute must-play. It’s a remake that may not take a lot of risks, but when you have such a legendary foundation to work with, the new quality-of-life upgrades make this an easy Game of the Year contender. I wish the combat were a bit more fleshed out and that side activities like Assassin’s Contracts weren't so bare-bones (they're barely worth mentioning), but overall, Resynced is a treasure well worth hunting down.

Rhythm Paradise Groove beautifully channels the experimental, chaotic charm of the DS era with over 80 catchy solo tracks by Tsunku, unique multiplayer modes, and even a rhythm RPG. However, despite its vibrant visuals and creative variety, its unforgiving timing windows and brutal offbeat difficulty make it a punishing experience that prioritizes strict perfection over casual fun.

Star Fox (2026) flawlessly bridges the gap between retro arcade perfection and modern technical brilliance. It honors the series' roots while utilizing new hardware features to deliver the definitive sci-fi shooter experience on the platform.

Almost 7 years after its original release, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition makes it clear that Capcom's action game stands the test of time. Playing on a Nintendo Switch 2 comes with little to no compromises, so if this is your first time experiencing it, know you'll get the real deal and a game worth absolutely every penny.
