Splatoon Raiders isn't the grand single-player campaign the series has been begging for, yet it hides the smoothest, most brilliant gameplay Nintendo has ever put together. Its looting loop is addictive and co-op rounds out an adventure only held back by a tangled difficulty system and modest long-term content.

Heave Ho 2 reinvents itself with brilliant ideas and outstanding Switch 2 integration; camera, GameChat and GameShare turn it into a must-play multiplayer riot, as long as you play with company.

Denshattack! turns an absurd idea, driving trains like skateboards, into one of the most original and addictive indies on Nintendo Switch 2, even if its difficulty wall isn't for everyone.

The best Digimon Story entry to date: addictive combat and hundreds of creatures in a different kind of story that plays with time travel, held back by a somewhat uneven pace and fairly restrained ambition.

Rhythm Paradise Groove earns its crown as the king of rhythm games on Nintendo Switch. It has catchy songs, wonderfully absurd humor, and multiplayer that’s just as chaotic as it is hilarious. It’s one of those weird, wildly original gems that only Nintendo could make.

Star Fox on Switch 2 is a technically spectacular remake that doesn't aim beyond updating the Super Nintendo classic. The dubbed cinematics and HDR usage shine, but the formula remains unchanged since the nineties and the game is far too short for its price. A beautiful homage that makes one thing clear: Fox McCloud deserves a brand-new adventure.

Traveling between eras to solve the same world is a brilliant idea that Elliot pulls off with flying colors. It may lack the spark of genius found in its inspirations, but it is essential for fans of classic Zelda games.

Konami has managed to reconnect with its football roots and bring back a football simulator that offers more direct, no-frills gameplay. This installment is the most accessible way to enjoy the 2026 World Cup on Switch 2 like never before. It lacks variety in game modes and the goalkeeper behavior needs improvement, but it's a lighthearted experience that captures the spirit of PES.

The definitive edition of the definitive edition. Xenoblade Chronicles has never looked this good, though all that smoothness also exposes the age of a twice-remastered classic. A modest, honest update, and an ideal entry point into the series before the whole trilogy arrives on Switch 2.

The most ambitious Switch 2 port doesn’t just work: it turns the handheld into the best place to experience an adventure lasting dozens upon dozens of hours. An RPG that meanders and unnecessarily stretches its content, but that, overall, delivers an outstanding audiovisual experience.
