Mario Kart World is ultimately a fantastic new take on the Mario Kart formula, even if the open world feels like an unnecessary addition.
If the Nintendo Switch 2 is the only way you can play Cyberpunk 2077, it's a solid way to experience the game, although if you have a more powerful console, that might be preferable for a docked gaming experience.
Elden Ring Nightreign can't escape sharing the same title as a game of the year winner, which puts expectations on it that it doesn't reach.
The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 doesn't achieve a perfect win, but it does stand as another victory of retro goodness for fans of fighting games.
Doom: The Dark Ages is not Eternal 2. It’s something braver — a reimagining that honors its roots while forging a new path. It’s bloodier, slower, moodier — and undeniably Doom.
Overall, The Midnight Walk is a highly enjoyable indie game. Its world and creatures are breathtaking to behold.
Few works of art have left a mark on me quite like The Last of Us franchise. It's more than just a game — it’s a part of my emotional vocabulary, a story that has stayed with me through the years, reshaping how I view storytelling in gaming.
Ultimately, though, Shadows shows immense promise for the future of this franchise, but it also exposes the areas where it still needs to work hard to improve. While it’s an enjoyable experience, it’s far from perfect. Regardless, playing Shadows has renewed my hope and investment in the franchise, which I am now almost certain will be just as refined and enjoyable going forward, if not more.
This is a world where you walk across impossible landscapes in one of the most beautiful open worlds ever, navigate tough obstacles with certain death at every turn, help strangers you'll never meet and bask in the warmth of their kindness, run into real-world celebrities when you least expect, discover and listen to new music artists from across the world, fight towering mechs made of tar, and fly over black oceans in a ship, all while having a talking doll strapped to your hip. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a game I won't stop playing for a long time, and my second save is already underway.
