and Roger is one of those games that’s hard to recommend… but only because it’s impossible to talk about it without breaking part of the experience. It’s short, yes. It’s simple in terms of gameplay, too. But what it does with those tools is truly special. If you’re looking for something different, a narrative experience that makes you feel something and doesn’t overstay its welcome, here you have one of those small gems that appears quietly. It’s especially emotional if what it tells resonates with you or somehow represents or identifies with your own experience.

Mina the Hollower is much more than a homage to the classics. It’s a modern reinterpretation that builds on its foundations to create something deeper, more challenging, and highly replayable. Its open world, combat system, and design ensure there’s always something new to discover. Its difficulty and lack of hand-holding may not be for everyone, but that’s precisely where much of its charm lies. It stands out as one of the most essential indie experiences for fans of exploration and well-crafted challenges.

Bubsy 4D isn't the great revival of 3D platformers, nor is it a new benchmark for the genre. Its levels can feel inconsistent, exploration lacks depth, and its sense of humor may wear thin rather quickly. Still, it brings something the series has never truly had before: a genuinely solid gameplay foundation. Fabraz understood that the only way to bring Bubsy back was to stop trying to make him a “cool” mascot and instead focus on creating a platformer that's simply fun to play. While the end result remains uneven, there's real credit due for turning a name long associated with failure into a game that, at several points, genuinely makes you want to keep playing.

Perhaps the most striking thing of all is how “normal” it’s starting to feel to see a game like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth running on a Nintendo console. Just a few years ago, something like this would have seemed completely impossible. Yes, there are noticeable visual cutbacks. Yes, there are technical limitations and some performance issues. But the final result is still extremely solid for an RPG of this scale, and it’s more than made up for by the fact that it runs in handheld mode. Square Enix has clearly delivered a very serious technical effort here.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a very bold game that dares to reinvent Nintendo’s dinosaur franchise, moving away from linear levels to deliver an experience that sparks curiosity in highly innovative ways. Its artistic style is exquisite and unique, and its challenge lies not so much in completing the levels, but in being able to uncover all the secrets they hide.

After several years since its original release on the hybrid console and with little meaningful improvement since then, the Switch “1” version of MotoGP 26 feels limited and visually outdated. It's not a particularly appealing option and could even put off the most dedicated fans of the series, despite still being the best motorcycle simulator on the market. That, to their credit, remains excellent.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream expands the original formula with unprecedented creativity and personalization, turning your island into a true reflection of your imagination, while its addictive, slow-paced charm proves the series still has so much more to offer.

Pragmata has gone from being a mystery to becoming one of the most promising titles of its generation and of 2026. Its visually striking world, innovative and highly satisfying combat system, excellent progression and skill upgrade mechanics in the hub, and above all, the evolving relationship between Hugh and Diana, make it a must-play gem for anyone who enjoys shooters, action games, space adventures, and fantastic stories.

Meetup in Bellabel Park isn't just another expansion; it's the finishing touch that completes the Super Mario Bros. Wonder experience. Not only does it address some of the base game's shortcomings, such as the lack of boss variety and multiplayer options, but it also adds new layers of content, accessibility, and replayability that significantly enrich the overall experience.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 goes all out to deliver a more polished, deeper, and narratively stronger single-player adventure. Some players might miss online modes or a wider variety of weapons, but what it offers in terms of story, gameplay progression, and technical polish more than compensates for those omissions. It's an RPG that takes itself seriously, featuring memorable characters and great protagonists and supporting characters, and understanding that a good narrative can be the true driving force of a spin-off series.
