8.0 of 10 bananas. Koei Tecmo's Switch 2 exclusive tells the Imprisoning War that Tears of the Kingdom only showed in flashbacks. Slick musou combat, Zonai gadgets, and the best story in the spin-off series, held back by repetitive missions and plain maps.

8.0 of 10 bananas. Nintendo's October 2026 Switch 2 motion sports collection: 12 sports on an open Wuhu Island, with flying, power cruising, and skateboarding to explore it. The best party game in the series; a few sports feel carried over, and the solo missions get thin.

7.5 of 10 bananas. EA Tiburon's August 2026 NFL sim. Critics call the on field play the best in years and Franchise mode stronger; Ultimate Team ads crowd the menus, and players are far angrier than critics.

7.5 of 10 bananas. EA's July 2026 college football sim, the third since the series came back. The on field play, defense, and stadium noise are the best yet; Dynasty is bloated with menus, bugs linger, and the user score is brutal.

8.5 of 10 bananas. Nintendo's 2019 level builder: make and share 2D Mario stages in five styles, or play millions made by others. Endless and inventive; building with a controller is slower than a touchscreen, and online play was always rough.

9.0 of 10 bananas. Nintendo's 2025 Switch release of the two Wii space platformers, with sharper visuals, an Assist Mode, and new Storybook chapters. The level design is still among the best Mario has ever had; the pointer controls feel awkward without a Wii remote, and the price is steep for old games.

9.0 of 10 bananas. Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo's 2019 tactics RPG: you teach one of three student houses at a monastery, then lead them through a war that splits them apart. The characters and the choice are unforgettable; the monastery chores repeat, and the routes reuse a lot of maps.

8.5 of 10 bananas. Retro Studios' side scrolling platformer, first on Wii U in 2014 and ported to Switch in 2018 with a new Funky Mode. The levels are gorgeous and the music by David Wise is legendary; the difficulty is brutal and the motion of the big ape can feel heavy.

8.0 of 10 bananas. Nintendo's diorama puzzle game: Captain Toad cannot jump, so you turn the camera around tiny worlds to find the path to a star. Clever, cozy, and perfect in short sessions; easy, and the Switch version is not cheap for a 2014 Wii U game.

7.0 of 10 bananas. Next Level Games' rough five on five soccer: tackle into electric fences, charge Hyper Strikes, and build a club online. The match feel is excellent; the roster and solo content were thin at launch, and free updates only partly fixed it.

8.0 of 10 bananas. Monomi Park's sequel sends Beatrix to Rainbow Island to vacuum up slimes, feed them, and sell their plorts. One of the coziest loops in gaming, with real secrets to find; the story is thin and the late game turns into a grind.

8.0 of 10 bananas. The first three Crash games rebuilt from the ground up, with gorgeous art and the old personality intact. A joy for fans, but the first game is brutal, and the new jump feel makes some old leaps harder.

Store button: Steam only

8.0 of 10 bananas. A cheap co-op climbing game where you and up to three friends scramble up a mountain that changes every day. Hilarious, tense, and a steal, but it lives and dies on friends, and solo is a lonely climb.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach

6.5 of 10

HorrorAdventure

Store button: PS5 on Amazon

6.5 of 10 bananas. The series leaves the security office and lets you run free through a giant neon pizza mall at night. Big, bright, and full of great ideas, but it launched broken, the saves are punishing, and the scares wear thin before the end.

8.0 of 10 bananas. Capcom rebuilds its 2006 zombie mall sandbox with modern visuals, autosaves, and controls that finally let you move while you aim. Silly, generous, and still unlike anything else, but the clock and the psychopath fights will test you.

7.5 of 10

ActionHorrorMultiplayer

Store button: PS4 on Amazon

7.5 of 10 bananas. Capcom's sun-drenched co-op shooter that pushed Resident Evil from horror into action. Great with a friend, fun to replay, and packed with extras on PS4, but solo play suffers and you still cannot move while shooting.

The Evil Within

7.5 of 10

HorrorSurvival

Store button: Steam only

7.5 of 10 bananas. Shinji Mikami's return to survival horror: scarce ammo, burning corpses, and a world that keeps rewriting itself. Brutal, gross, and memorable, but the story is a fog and the difficulty swings wildly.

The Outlast Trials

7.5 of 10

HorrorMultiplayer

Store button: Steam only

7.5 of 10 bananas. Red Barrels turns its asylum horror into a co-op game for up to four, set in a Cold War experiment. Loud, nasty fun with friends, and still scary solo, but the loop repeats and much of the progression is grind.

7.0 of 10

HorrorAdventure

Store button: Steam only

7.0 of 10 bananas. Bloober Team rebuilds its walking horror series in Unreal Engine 5, bundling both games, the DLC, and new chapters into one story. Gorgeous and full of clever room tricks, but there is almost no threat, and the scares grow predictable.

Burnout Paradise Remastered

8.5 of 10

RacingMultiplayer

Store button: Steam only

8.5 of 10 bananas. The open world crash racer that turned every traffic light into a race and every wall into a highlight reel, remastered with all its DLC. Still the purest joy in arcade racing, but finding your way to events is clumsy and the online scene is quiet.

REVIEW
Dying Light

Dying Light

8.5 of 10

ActionSurvivalHorror

Store button: Steam only

8.5 of 10 bananas. The parkour zombie game that made climbing feel as good as fighting, and made night truly frightening. A classic with years of free updates behind it, but the story is forgettable and the early melee is clumsy.

REVIEW
Amnesia: The Bunker

Amnesia: The Bunker

8.0 of 10

HorrorSurvival

Store button: Steam only

8.0 of 10 bananas. Frictional trades its usual corridors for a sealed World War One bunker, one creature that hunts by sound, and a generator you must keep fed. The most systemic and replayable Amnesia, but short, and the loop can tip into chores.

REVIEW
Outlast

Outlast

8.0 of 10

HorrorSurvival

Store button: Steam only

8.0 of 10 bananas. The found footage asylum horror that put a night vision camcorder in the hands of a generation of streamers. No weapons, only running and hiding. Still terrifying, but the gore is heavy and the chase pattern shows its age.

REVIEW
SOMA

SOMA

8.5 of 10

HorrorAdventure

Store button: Steam only

8.5 of 10 bananas. A sci-fi horror story at the bottom of the ocean that cares more about questions than jump scares. One of the best stories in horror. The monster sections are the weakest part, and a Safe Mode lets you skip their teeth.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

7.0 of 10

HorrorMultiplayer

Store button: Steam only

7.0 of 10 bananas. An asymmetric horror game where three Sawyer family killers hunt four victims, with gorgeous maps and real tension. But development ended in 2025, there will be no more fixes or content, and the player count will only shrink from here.

SurvivalHorrorMultiplayer

Store button: Steam only (PC game)

8.0 of 10 bananas. Co-op survival horror on a cannibal island: build a base log by log, give orders to your companion Kelvin, and survive the night. Building is the best in the genre, but the story is thin and it is a PC only game.

8.5 of 10 bananas. A demanding rally sim where the road surface wears and changes under you, one mistake costs a stage, and finishing clean feels like a victory. Brilliant handling, but harsh for beginners and light on content without the paid extras.

Store button: PS5 on Amazon

8.0 of 10 bananas. The best Modern Warfare campaign since 2019, a grounded multiplayer with a clever new Kill Block map, and a rich DMZ. Short campaign, weak final bosses, strict matchmaking at launch, and a paid edition that helps in DMZ keep it from elite.

HorrorAdventure

Store button: PS5 on Amazon

8.0 of 10 bananas. Supermassive took the Until Dawn formula to a summer camp full of werewolves: nine counselors, one night, and every one of them can live or die by your choices. Slow first hours and button prompt action hold it back, but with friends on the couch it is a great horror movie night.

REVIEW
Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight

7.5 of 10

HorrorMultiplayer

Store button: Steam only

7.5 of 10 bananas. The game that made one versus four horror a genre: four survivors fix generators while one killer hunts them. Ten years of licensed killers and a huge player base keep it alive, but the DLC pile, grind, and match toxicity are real costs.

7.0 of 10

HorrorCult

Store button: Xbox code on Amazon

7.0 of 10 bananas. A lost Wii horror game, finally released in English in 2023: you fight ghosts with an old camera on a cursed island. The atmosphere is superb and the camera combat is unique, but slow movement, stiff controls, and backtracking show its age.

7.5 of 10

RacingMultiplayer

Store button: PS5 on Amazon

7.5 of 10 bananas. Milestone's toy car racer gets jumps, side dashes, motorbikes, and ATVs. Bright, fast, and great for split screen with kids, with a track builder that keeps it going. The car roster leans on paid DLC, and the campaign gets repetitive.

Wreckfest

Wreckfest

8.5 of 10

RacingMultiplayer

Store button: PS5 on Amazon

8.5 of 10 bananas. The best demolition derby racer of its era: soft body crashes, banger racing, and lawn mower events. Bugbear made metal bend like nothing else. A thin career and long loading times on older versions are the main dents.

REVIEW
Lethal Company

Lethal Company

8.5 of 10

HorrorMultiplayer

Store button: Steam only

8.5 of 10 bananas. A ten dollar co-op horror game from one developer that became a phenomenon. Scavenge scrap on dead moons, hit the Company quota, and laugh while your friends get dragged into the dark. Still early access, and thin when played alone.
