After slowly chipping away at it over the summer, I reviewed Fantasy Life i (Switch 2) for @skyboxcritics.com. If it were a first-party Nintendo game, people wouldn't shut up about it. Lovely, absolutely PACKED game that's as long/deep as you want it to be: skyboxcritics.com/2025/10/08/f...

- Overkill preset murders VRAM in exchange for very little but also has a huge memory leak that doesn't go away if you go down and until you restart. Stick to Ultra settings.

It's otherwise great and yet another dab on unoptimized UE5 slop. Crazy how something so busy runs so well.

A few notes on BF6's graphics/PC performance after 12 hours:

- DLSS's FG messes up a number of visuals + tanks performance while changing camera views in certain scenarios. Don't use it for now. It broken.

- GTAO High > SSGI High. Looks better + more frames.

It's surprisingly not very unhinged and raises a number of okay points, but since it can't commit to having any bite (nor really fun setpieces), it just ends up feeling bleh. I'd take a silly and turbopatriotic CoD campaign swinging for the fences over this any day of the week.

Played Battlefield 6's campaign and I truly think it's too dumb to get mad about in any real way. If you try to dissect the politics of the thing, you will die instantly.

These things need to be sillier and more fast-paced if you're bothering. This just feels too dull and one-note-y while going self-serious and rolling credits as it gets somewhat interesting because muh live-service narrative.

Battlefield 6's campaign feels like an attempt to replicate the Modern Warfare games having only watched a few random gameplay videos. Also very weird how it only does sandbox-y BF structure in one mission while the last few CoD campaigns have tried to lean *a bit* into that. Bizarre stuff.

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months
