I love a good sequel, and I love a good series, as much as the next JRPG fan. But I also love digging into new games, and that’s what Switch and Swtich 2 owners will be able to do soon with IKINAGAMES’ STARBITES.

Of all the Atelier games, the Ryza series is easily my favorite. It’s therefore quite easy for me to recommend the Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Edition. Before I do, though, I should address the colossus golem in the room.

The Cabin Factory is not a game that was meant to be played, it was meant to be streamed. You’re not meant to enjoy it, you’re meant to react to it, and that’s what I did. But how do I review a game I simply reacted to?

Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots is the first entry I’ve played in the long-running, if sporadic series. I do remember reading reviews of the original, which was developed by Camelot, later …

Particle Heart’s narrative is very loose and cryptic, allowing the player to perceive it as they please. The game instead focuses more on exploration and puzzle-solving than on the story line, but what a wonderful world to explore.

Primarily text-based, Roadwarden offers a story of exploration, survival, and mystery wrapped in a low-fantasy blanket. It’s a story that succeeds, but it’s hobbled by the limitations of the Switch interface.

Of all the sports games available to us, I’ve always preferred basketball. This is despite the fact I don’t care to watch the actual game—it’s too squeaky and harshly lit. But I’m enjoying NBA 2K26 on the Switch 2.

In my review of 2021’s Rise Eterna, I stated, “…the ending is very abrupt and unsatisfying. It felt tacked on, as if they were going to set up a sequel (which I’d like to see), then bailed.” Well, that sequel is now here with Rise Eterna 2, and it’s a solid improvement over the original.

Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition is very much the type of game you’ll buy now and keep on your home screen years. But if you already own the previous Switch version, there’s little here to justify the upgrade.

HYKE: Northern Light(s) is about “witches, camping, and an adventure across the world.” I’m interested in only one of those things, but I gave this action RPG a go nonetheless. I’m happy to say it has its moments, but how many of those will depend upon what you want from it.
