I had a chance to check out the PS5 version of Avowed from @obsidian.net with its Anniversary Update for @rpgsite.net. It doesn't change the core of Avowed, but delivers notable improvements and a much better day one experience. My impressions: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1964...

I reviewed the new Switch 2 port of PGA Tour 2K25 for @nintendoinsider.bsky.social. Great golf game, not so great Switch 2 port: www.nintendo-insider.com/pga-tour-2k2...

Of course I did a PC-focused feature for today as well covering how the Ys X: Proud Nordics PC release differs from the base Ys X release covering the new upscaling options including DLSS 4.5 support and more for @rpgsite.net: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1963...

Last year, I called Ys X: Proud Nordics' JP release, one of the biggest upgrades from S1 to S2. The Western release is even better than last year's JP S2 version. My feature with comparisons on @rpgsite.net: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1963...

The Switch 1 port of Trails beyond the Horizon was done by PH3 and it was a very challenging project. Durante discusses that, his thoughts on modern PC ports, Steam Machine specs, Switch 2 DLSS, and more. Durante also took a tea photo for the interview (Ill allow it): www.rpgsite.net/interview/19...

It is always a pleasure to interview @durantept.bsky.social about PC ports and features, but today's interview on @rpgsite.net also has him covering the work he did on the Western Switch 2 and PS5 versions of Ys X: Proud Nordics, the the S1 port of Horizon, and more: www.rpgsite.net/interview/19...

I reviewed Trigger Happy: A Visual Celebration of Video Game Controllers from @bitmapbooks.com for @nintendoinsider.bsky.social. This is essential if you're a controller sicko like me, but I hope to see a potential 2nd volume cover more from the arcade side: www.nintendo-insider.com/trigger-happ...

I reviewed this and scored it 10/10 (www.nintendo-insider.com/dear-me-i-wa...) last year saying I'd buy any potential ports it gets to support the release. Well.. @kanasaki.bsky.social
