The combat in Clair Obscur is electric. Turn based, but active. It's basically a rhythm game at times.

The Switch 2 Pro Controller.

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's missing necessary features like hall effect sticks and analogue triggers. But boy oh boy is it nice to hold.

Those sticks! So smooth!

Mario Kart World is good. But it should have been more than good. As a launch title, it's a real missed opportunity.

MK World could have been so much more than it was if it had just been tweaked and tightened. Separate character entries for every costume? Really?
