Also, since this is ABSOLUTELY gonna get buried by the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond discourse, you really ought to try ROUTINE. It was a genuinely effective horror game with a GREAT sense of atmosphere!
ROUTINE (PC) Review - CGMagazine
ROUTINE combines a retro-futuristic aesthetic with an unnerving sense of dread to create an incredibly engaging and highly atmospheric horror experience.

Well, no one asked for it, but here it is anyway! I thought Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was pretty okay! If you go in expecting Metroid, you're gonna be disappointed. If you go in expecting Halo: Combat Evolved, you're gonna have a BLAST

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Nintendo Switch 2) Review - CGMagazine
While Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is incredibly fun as a straightforward shooter, its more guided nature and excessive handholding may deter hardcore fans of the series and genre.

Did y'all catch my review of Kirby Air Riders? No? Okay then...
"Kirby Air Riders combines tight controls, excellent gameplay and a plethora of content to make the best mascot racing game on the Nintendo Switch 2."

I don't know what's worse. That Sony shut down a fan project, or that people actually WANT to play Concord.
Sony slaps down fan-made Concord resurrection effort with copyright takedown and "worrying legal action"

You know, I try to be as skeptical as any critic, but seeing people use the opening hour of Metroid Prime 4 as the basis for the entire game is pretty silly. Like...do you know if Miles is gonna be chatting in your ear the whole game, or is he just a tutorial figure?

So you know big RPGs like to work in little card games into their worlds?
Hear me out...
The next mainline Pokémon game has the TCG built into it.

I think it kind of went without saying, but here's my thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Isle + Emerald Rush DLC
It's a perfectly fine DLC that should've costed NOTHING

Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island + Emerald Rush DLC is a decent enough expansion that is NOWHERE near worth the asking price.

Hollow Knight: Silksong And The Strange System of Hype
The point I’m trying to make: No game (Hollow Knight: Silksong or otherwise) should be so anticipated that it affects other games.

I genuinely couldn't believe how good Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is. And seeing it run at 60 on Switch 2 was mindblowing 😅

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is not only a stellar remake of its DS counterpart, it may be the best entry in the series to date.
