How this trust score was computed
Trust blends alignment (40%): does the outlet rank games the way players do; decoded accuracy (30%): after translating the outlet's own scale habits (a '7/10 means mediocre' scale is decoded, not punished), how well its reviews predict player sentiment; and player-side (30%): on games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, whose side it took. Recent reviews weigh more (2-year half-life), and the blend is shrunk toward a neutral prior (60) so small samples can't peg the scale. Player quality is launch-window Steam sentiment, so outlets aren't punished for reviewing a launch build that later got patched.

- 86Splatoon RaidersJul 21, 2026
“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. ”

“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.”

“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.”

“Yoshi changes genres on Switch 2 and delivers his most original adventure in years: a cozy puzzle and discovery game that charms with its hand-drawn art style. It’s definitely a solid experience, but one held back by a weak story and a concept so good that it only scratches the surface of what it could have been.”

“Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a social sim bursting with customization and offbeat humor that brings out the best in Miis on Nintendo Switch. Its creativity is endearing, though longer play sessions can start to feel a bit predictable, and the lack of online sharing keeps it from reaching even greater heights.”

“Pokémon Pokopia is a delightful surprise: a cozy spin-off that blends the best of Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders, and Animal Crossing into something with a distinct identity within the series. If you’re willing to embrace its laid-back vibe, it could be one of the most addictive and comforting experiences in the Nintendo Switch 2 catalog.”

“Mario Tennis Fever is the best entry in the series in a long time, with a great overall structure, the largest roster of characters in its history, and an unlock system that encourages you to keep playing. The soundtrack doesn’t quite reach the level of Super Mario, but the characters’ charisma and the variety of modes more than make up for it. ”

“Square Enix has achieved what once seemed impossible: bringing the full Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade experience to a portable console without sacrificing what truly matters. It is the most visually impressive game on Switch 2 and an unforgettable gateway to one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the last decade.”

“Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a worthy successor to the original trilogy, fully optimized on Nintendo Switch 2 to take full advantage of its control capabilities. There aren’t many 3D action-adventure experiences like this, and Retro Studios has managed to balance the Metroid Prime formula which, despite innovations you may like more or less, ultimately becomes a memorable space epic.”

“Kirby Air Riders is a bold and addictive reinvention of the GameCube classic, full of personality and featuring City Trial mode that shines brighter than ever. It’s not the visual leap we expected on Nintendo Switch 2, but it makes up for it with solid gameplay, plenty of variety and content, and a social focus that can keep it alive for years.”

“Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment successfully expands the backstory of Tears of the Kingdom and practically requires prior experience with that game. This solid musou for Nintendo Switch 2 leans heavily on a mix of action and cutscenes aimed at Zelda fans. While it doesn’t innovate within the musou genre or the Hyrule Warriors series, it delivers an intense, entertaining adventure on the new console.”

“Pokémon Legends: Z-A reinvents the series with bold real-time battles and an ambitious urban world. Though exploration feels limited, its combat depth and smooth performance make it a standout evolution for the saga.”

“Two masterful Super Mario games remastered in a way as simple as it is effective. This update to Mario’s space adventures is a constant display of imagination that manages to mask the passage of time and offers games that set the benchmark among 3D platformers.”

“Hades II is an exceptional roguelike that perfects its predecessor’s formula with frenetic combat, greater variety, and outstanding art direction. While it offers a solid adaptation on Nintendo Switch, we miss having more graphic options on Nintendo Switch 2. Nevertheless, its addictive gameplay makes it an indie must-have on Nintendo’s platform.”
