A(dam) smash(er) hit. When the Switch 2 released over a year back (gulp!), one of the most high-profile launch titles was Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. Containing both the base game and the expansion story Phantom Liberty, it’s a comprehensive package that looks and runs like a dream, making it an easy recommendation for Switch 2…

Just one week after his comments on piracy and DOOM, he has once again been corrected by id Software’s co-founder, John…
Lara cutbacks. Rise of the Tomb Raider was a welcome port for the Switch 2, and one that seems to hold up pretty well on Nintendo’s console. It earned a solid 8/10 from us, at least, in which we described it as a game that serves “as a strong example of the vision of the…
It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, and free-to-play games topped last month’s download charts. In June, creepy, empty spaces took over the charts as Escape the Backrooms topped the charts in both the US and EU, while other backroom-themed games appeared in the PS VR2 rankings.
