Opinion Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Completely Wastes Its Best Mechanic
This could have been an all-timer
I had a pretty decent time with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. It’s a charming experience filled with wonder and imagination, but thanks to the repetitive, overly-simplified structure, that imagination is never afforded enough space to really shine. I tolerated this, however, and had a good time discovering the...

From developers fresh out of University to seasoned vets striking out on their own, an infectious enthusiasm for this...

It takes all ports
Updated with new entries, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which gets great mileage out of Switch 2. Enjoy!

News Survival Horror 'The Florist' Looks Like Classic Resident Evil In All The Right Ways
Update: Switch 2 2026 release confirmed
Capcom doesn't seem to be in any rush to put its classic Resident Evil games on the Switch or Switch 2.

With that in mind, developer Unclear Games is looking to fill the gap with

Review Bubsy 4D (Switch 2) - A Maligned Mascot Finally Gets A Good Game
No cat-astrophe here
Reputation matters, and few video game characters have spent longer trapped beneath the weight of their own than Bubsy. The wisecracking bobcat arrived in 1993 as Accolade's answer to the '90s mascot-platformer boom and promptly became notorious for clumsy design and punishing controls. Yet, the bobcat kept clawing his way back...
Review Bluey's Quest For The Gold Pen (Switch 2) - An Enjoyable Collectathon That Kids Will Love
For real life!
When Bluey: The Videogame launched toward the end of 2023, I found it a faithful yet soulless adaptation of the cartoon phenomenon from developer Artax Games, cramming some of the show’s most iconic locations into a repetitive one-to-two-hour game. It wasn’t great. Fast forward to 2026, and Halfbrick, the studio most famous for...

Review Tales Of Arise - Beyond The Dawn Edition (Switch 2) - Solid Game, Solid Port, Goes On A Bit
A new dawn breaks
Though the Tales series goes back all the way to the days of the Super Famicom, it feels like it’s always been one of the lower-budget ‘B-tier’ RPG franchises that only the most dedicated genre fans engage with regularly. To counter this and try to bring the series to a bigger audience, the developers decided to go for a...
Round Up The Reviews For Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Are In
How does it hold up on other platforms?
In case you forgot, Warner Bros. Games is still planning on releasing LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on the Switch 2 – we just don't have a date yet.

Review Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
Why so Glub?
The Yoshi series has cemented itself as one of the most approachable in Nintendo’s arsenal, providing experiences that younger gamers in particular can enjoy without too much friction. Woolly World and Crafted World offer light-hearted platforming fun while still retaining some of the spirit of the SNES original, and both come...
Review Mobapad M12-HD Controllers For Switch 2 - A Clear Step Above Nintendo's Joy-Con 2
Handheld fans rejoice
As much as the Switch 2 improved upon its predecessor in terms of design and comfort, it’s still plagued by Joy-Con controllers that, for me at least, feel far too dinky when held. It might be my age talking, but using the console in handheld mode has caused occasional pain in my palms and wrists that makes it difficult for...

Just a few weeks ago, we learned that Devolver's throwback fantasy dungeon-scroller, Dark Scrolls, would be launching on Switch on 28th May.

Hands On The Classic Zelda Formula Is In Safe Hands With 'The Adventures Of Elliot'
Missing Link
The "classic" Zelda format has been on hiatus for a little while now. Echoes of Wisdom certainly tapped into a nostalgic vibe, but for a new top-down Zelda, you've got to go all the way back to 2013's A Link Between Worlds to get your typical set-up of unlockable dungeons, Sage collecting, and puzzles with clearly-designed solutions...
