Two Point Museum is a management-simulation game that involves curating exhibits, building the layout, and hiring staff. I have been playing it at launch, and I thoroughly enjoyed it with an optimized portable experience on my Switch 2. Things become a bit repetitive, or the challenge isn’t as strong as one might expect. As for the performance, not only is it kept at 30 fps on Switch 2, but it’s not all that stable. The title misses the highlighted Mouse features of Switch 2, which is definitely a bummer. There are multiple museum locations/themes, and a sandbox mode for creative freedom. It is A fun, creative, and deep enough to keep you engaged.
Painkiller is a reboot of the old 2004 shooter that’s now built around co-op for up to three players. You’ll battle hordes of demons in gothic, lavishly detailed environments. Painkiller offers replayability in its loop, but the repetitiveness made me not go for the replay, and I was able to finish it in a single sitting. The mechanics are fast and arcade, but the execution has some serious problems. Solo play is particularly weak due to ineffective bot companions. Teaming up with friends to mow through hordes of enemies is a plus. Enemies just soak up damage without reacting or staggering.
The Lonesome Guild tackles themes of loneliness and connection in a world engulfed by a mysterious mist. It is a beautiful story for both young and old alike, touching on kindness and companionship. The combat and puzzles might feel stale, but the soundtrack and beautiful story make the world feel very much alive. You play as Ghost, possessing party members to fight and unlock boosted actions. The environments are noted for being well-designed, with logical light puzzles. Early enemies may take longer than expected to defeat, which can slow down the pacing. Davinci the rabbit inventor and Sarangalyn the dagger-wielder come with distinct personalities and playstyles.
Disgaea 7 on the Switch One was a little bit disappointing, but the Switch 2 upgrade brings back all the memories that made it the perfect RPG. The Jumbification system and associated giant-sized tactics add fresh flavor. Turn-based tactics with many character classes, deep post-game, and min-maxing systems. The main story is long, the post-game is huge, ideal for those who like to grind and dive deep. For newcomers to the series, this can be overwhelming or off-putting. Because of the deep mechanics and post-game, a lot of time is spent doing repetitive battles.
Little Nightmares 3 keeps the creepy “silent horror” vibe, environmental storytelling, puzzle-platform elements, and grotesque monster design. Having two characters with different tools adds more puzzle/traversal variety. The inclusion of online co-op is something many fans have been asking for. The visual fidelity and frame performance require more compromises compared to PS5. This might not deliver as cleanly if you prefer local co-op or play only on low-end platforms. For players who love atmospheric, slow-burn horror, puzzles, and exploration and don’t mind some slower pacing, Little Nightmares 3 is for you.
Dreams of Another is less a game and more an experience, one that lingers long after waking. While the visuals and ambient music create a haunting yet beautiful mood, the gameplay focuses on environmental storytelling and puzzle-solving. The smooth performance offers value for players interested in narrative variation. Even the flaws become part of the experience, reminding you that dreams themselves rarely conclude neatly. The world, though fragile and unstable, feels alive in a way that forces you to pay attention to the small details.
