Gurei

Review

Gurei

A small, ferociously focused samurai boss-rush whose order-based difficulty system turns a familiar genre into something that plays differently every time - gorgeous, fair, and completely unapologetic about who it's for.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic

Review

Moss: The Forgotten Relic

A charming, great-value way to finally experience Quill's acclaimed adventure without a headset - even if a little of the VR magic is lost in translation.

DOOM: The Dark Ages: Revelations

Review

DOOM: The Dark Ages: Revelations

A massive, mechanically fresh expansion that recaptures DOOM Eternal's speed and makes an already great game even better - essential for anyone who owns The Dark Ages.

Rhythm Heaven Groove Review

Review

Rhythm Heaven Groove Review

A joyous, wildly creative comeback that any Switch owner with a pulse should play - a fitting swan song for the console.

Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Review

Review

Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Review

A polished, genuinely fun Star Wars reinvention of Monopoly that comes alive with friends on the couch thanks to hero abilities and team play - but it cannot escape Monopoly's luck-driven pacing, and a thin solo mode plus a premium price keep it short of essential.

Dead or Alive 6: Last Round Review

Review

Dead or Alive 6: Last Round Review

One of the best-feeling fighters around, presented more completely than ever - but it's a seven-year-old game resold with little new, and its monetization reputation has its own players seeing red. Brilliant to play, hard to recommend at full price. Try the free Core Fighters tier first.

Star Fox Review
84

Review

Star Fox Review

A gorgeous, joyously playable restoration of a 1997 classic - the best-reviewed Star Fox since the N64 original. Velan Studios nails the spectacle, controls and replay-friendly branching, but its devotion to the source means a short campaign and few surprises. A triumphant homecoming that plays it safe.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition Review

Review

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition Review

Devil May Cry 5 remains the high-water mark for stylish action, and the Devil Hunter Edition is a rock-solid, locked-60fps way to play it anywhere - with Vergil included and a tempting launch price. It is not the definitive package, since a couple of Special Edition modes are missing, but as a portable version of one of the best action games ever made it more than earns its place in your Switch 2 library.

EA Sports UFC 6 Review

Review

EA Sports UFC 6 Review

EA Sports UFC 6 is the best the franchise has ever been. Flow State finally gives every fighter real identity and the stand-up game is a weighty, photoreal joy, even if an unevolved ground game and a stale career mode stop it short of a first-round knockout. A clear win on the cards.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Review

Review

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Review

Team Asano and Claytechworks prove HD-2D can carry a full-blooded action-adventure: Elliot is a gorgeous, generous, Zelda-shaped journey through time, let down only by repetitive enemies, fiddly platforming and a rough Switch 2 port. If you've wanted an HD-2D game that plays as good as it looks, this is it - ideally on PS5, PC or Steam Deck.

Tales of Seikyu Review
80

Review

Tales of Seikyu Review

A gorgeous, big-hearted yokai farming sim built around one brilliant shapeshifting hook, held back - not broken - by an underbaked open world, basic combat and lingering technical rough edges. Cozy-sim fans should absolutely move in.

Crushed In Time Review

Review

Crushed In Time Review

Draw Me A Pixel follows a beloved hit with a confident, cheerfully strange comedy adventure built around a genuinely new "elastic" mechanic. The detective framing is a feint and the meta humour won't suit everyone, but the writing, polish and invention make this a two-for-two triumph for fans of fourth-wall-breaking point-and-click games.
