Splatoon Raiders has one of the best gameplay loops I’ve experienced in a looter‑shooter in a long time. Raids are short, usually 2 to 4 minutes, making it incredibly easy to fall into the “just one more raid” mindset. Before you know it, it’s past midnight 🤨.

The difficulty ranges from fair to challenging but never feels unfair. Loot drops are plentiful, and progression is consistently rewarding. It never becomes “grindy,” even as you approach the endgame. There’s also plenty of content after level 50+, so the fun doesn’t stop once you hit the cap.

Upgrading your character, weapons, and gadgets is genuinely enjoyable. The system is deep enough to let you strategize how to spend your currency and allocate skill points without ever feeling overwhelming. They really nailed that balance.

The game also encourages experimentation with the three tanks and their gadgets. I appreciate that they include levels designed to push you to try them out. It helped me get familiar with different gadgets and figure out which ones I liked before investing resources.

I really hope Nintendo releases a DLC for this game.

Horrible game please save yourself and never play it. Absolutely everything is so bad that I don't even know how this is even existing.

Fun 2D platformer a la DK Country. Similar moveset and mechanics. It is not an easy game though. You'd have to replay most levels to get the needed collectables or because you need to memorize the enemy positions. In my opinion too many auto scroll levels. 100% it. Recommend it.

Do not waste your money. I pre-ordered like an idiot. This isn’t even a game. You load directly into a settings screen that’s impossible to navigate, the highlight color is invisible so you have no idea where your cursor is, and then there’s nothing to do. This is not a dating sim, it’s a scam. I feel so stupid. Don’t mess up like I did. The designers are con artists, and this game should be banned so they can’t keep ripping people off.

The Rogue Prince of Persia (Nintendo Switch 2)

This title received a physical release on April 10, and a review code was provided for the purpose of this review.

The Rogue Prince of Persia delivers a stylish and mechanically solid roguelike experience, though it struggles to maintain long-term engagement due to pacing and balance issues.

Visually, the game leans into a hand-drawn aesthetic that is undeniably appealing. While it doesn’t push boundaries, the art direction is cohesive and pleasant throughout. Where the presentation truly shines is in its audio design, the soundtrack and sound effects stand out as some of the game’s strongest elements, elevating the overall atmosphere and moment-to-moment gameplay.

At its core, this is a roguelike, very much in the vein of Dead Cells. You’re expected to die frequently, gradually improving your abilities and gear across repeated runs. The loop itself works, but the progression feels noticeably slow. After about four to five hours, the experience begins to feel repetitive, revisiting the same levels repeatedly just to reach a boss encounter, only to fall short and start over again.

Difficulty is another sticking point. Success often feels tied to near-perfect runs, and smaller enemies deal what feels like disproportionately high damage. This can make experimentation or exploration feel overly punishing rather than rewarding.

The platforming and parkour mechanics are enjoyable and responsive, capturing the spirit of the series well. However, the harsher difficulty spikes discourage taking risks. Environmental hazards, in particular, feel overly punishing—taking damage from traversal mistakes can quickly snowball into a failed run, which undermines the freedom that the movement system otherwise encourages.

Performance on the Nintendo Switch 2 is generally solid, with smooth gameplay overall. That said, loading times, especially after death, feel longer than they should, interrupting the game’s intended fast-paced retry loop.

One major drawback is the requirement to create a Ubisoft account just to play. The account creation process is frustrating, particularly since it doesn’t function reliably on the console or across some browsers. It’s an unnecessary barrier that detracts from the experience before you even begin.

Overall, if you’re a fan of roguelikes like Dead Cells, there’s a good chance you’ll find something to enjoy here. The Rogue Prince of Persia has strong fundamentals, especially in its presentation and movement systems, but repetitive progression, steep difficulty, and some design frustrations hold it back from reaching its full potential.

The Legend of Zelda is a series near and dear to my heart. Thus when they remade the classic Gameboy Color game, I was thrilled. Hesitant though, as sometimes remakes ruin the original story and things like that. This remained faithful to the original content and had nice Quality of Life type updates to it. The dungeon maker feature was interesting... i don't remember it in the original. Maybe I'm wrong, but the Gold Dungeon challenges allow you to customize your play and give a nice prize. Fully 100% the game is not terribly difficult and lots of fun. I would definitely say this is one of the best Zelda games out there and you should try it! 

Peak RE and Great on Switch 2!

The Switch 2’s performance continues to impress me with ports that challenge current-generation hardware, and Resident Evil Requiem is the latest—and by far the most impressive—so far in the handheld’s life. This game is near perfect.

I enjoyed Grace’s gameplay the most, playing in first-person mode. It’s tense and genuinely scary, requiring more strategic inventory management. While the puzzles can be predictable, they’re still fun. The atmosphere across different locations builds tension well, and some enemies are truly frightening.

Leon’s gameplay segments, on the other hand, feel more overpowered, letting you take on enemies head-on. Inventory management isn’t much of a concern since items are plentiful. It serves as a nice change of pace and a bit of relief from the more intense moments in Grace’s sections. You play as Leon for most of the back half of the game.

This one is peak Resident Evil, though I still think RE4 is the better game.

Playing on Switch 2 was amazing. I never felt like I was missing out or that gameplay was compromised. On the contrary, I was impressed by how good the game looks and how well it performs on the system.

Fun strategy game that isn’t overly complex or difficult to learn. It leans into roguelite elements, encouraging multiple runs with varying success while you acquire permanent buffs and unlock new equipment. It only takes a few runs to encounter most enemy types and start reaching the final boss. Challenging and fun overall, and easy to pick up and play.

Nostalgic feelings when I played this game.

Very fun game. Spent many hours on this game.

It is a classic with a new coat of paint. It is still a blast to play thru the different levels. The added multiplayer modes are fun to play. No complaints.

I recently picked this up for less than $3, and at that price, it is an absolute steal.

Youropa is a puzzle-platformer set in a fragmented Paris. After a mysterious event rips the city apart, you are left navigating floating platforms way high in the sky connected by cables. Each platform serves as a stage where you search for collectibles and unlock doors to reach the next level.

The puzzles are incredibly clever. Because your character has sticky feet, you can walk on walls and ceilings; however, since gravity itself doesn't change, the developers use that mechanic to build some truly unique challenges. As you progress, you unlock new abilities that allow for even more complex problem-solving. I really enjoyed this sense of progression, the game never felt repetitive.

While the experience might feel short if you’re having a lot of fun, it definitely doesn’t overstay its welcome. I highly recommend giving this one a try!

This is a fun game, all of us had great fun playing this game.
