The Witcher 3 running on the original Switch was already a technical marvel, but the Switch 2 port is a huge step up. Far more detail and significantly smoother framerate. And its free! Here's a couple screenshots I took in handheld mode to give a quick side-by-side reference.

Such a mammoth amount of content. Has to be the biggest Fire Emblem game by a long shot. I've been totally hooked and can't wait to play through the other protagonists and see their perspectives on the story.

With an enormous story following multiple protagonists, combined with the social and character-driven ambitions of Three Houses, could Fortune's Weave be the best Fire Emblem game to date? There's a 35% chance you'll hit the link to our review to find out: www.qualbert.com/reviews/fire...

Having played through the entire game to completion, I would be VERY surprised if it's truly classified as M. It's easily one of the most offensive and vulgar games I've played (and I loved it every bit).

Low key one of the best games I've ever played. Meteos is a puzzle game masterpiece with some incredible design, music, and fascinating world-building. Produced by the now CEO of Enhance Inc. (behind Tetris Effect) and designed by a little-known game dev called Masahiro Sakurai.

I can imagine this would be an active choice by Team Cherry to not include Silksong in the AGDAs, as there's almost no doubt that the game would sweep most categories. Yes, it absolutely deserves the awards, but its absence allows other less colossal Aussie games to step into the spotlight.

I just want another FromSoft game that I can play by myself like the loner I am. The feeling of isolation in Dark Souls/Bloodborne is honestly the reason why I was so drawn to the series in the first place. I don't mind the occasional invader, but I don't want multiplayer to be the focus.
