Sure, sure, I do know. Solely 25 video games since June. I’m a lazy sod.
Regardless, I’ve had fairly the experience up to now with my Swap 2. We’re nonetheless not that far out from launch, and I count on super-duper thrilling issues in 2026. A great deal of ’em. I can scent it. Oh no, wait, that was simply my canine.
Now, whereas I have never had the chance to assessment all of the largest and finest video games launched for the console in 2025, those I’ve forged my eye over make for an excellent strong record – with just a few absolute stinkers thrown in for good measure. There’s at all times at the very least one stinker thrown in for good measure. *factors at canine*

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
I am not having any extra of this “Musou video games are braindead button-mashers” patter out of you, son. I do not care if it is Christmas; that drained outdated line has been fallacious for some time now, and in case you were not conscious, Age of Imprisonment makes this very clear.
Lengthy gone are the times of bland, barren maps populated by one-trick CPU enemies. No extra are the drained aspect quests, lack of problem, lack of selection, lack of fight strategising…and all that different guff that individuals say us Musou followers have needed to endure over time. This can be a huge, daring, and delightful Zelda journey that earns each little bit of its “official canon” legitimising from the Large N.
This entry learns classes and takes inventory from what went somewhat fallacious final outing, specifically that essential stability between story and fight. The rectifying of this one essential facet would have been sufficient for me, however with the additional grunt of the Swap 2 we additionally get an absolute looker that is at all times a pure pleasure to sit down down and blast via. It is so slick and easy!
My favorite Musou recreation up to now? Yep, it knocks that Fireplace Emblem effort out of pole place and every thing.
