A flawed but memorable remake of a cult classic

I didn’t boot up Fallout 4 on the Switch 2 expecting to get hooked. It was meant to be one of those “jump in, check performance, see what it’s like” kind of sessions. Maybe an hour, take some notes, move on. I’ve played Fallout 4 before. I know what it is. I didn’t think this version was going to change anything. But then I stepped out of Vault 111… and just kept going. You know how Fallout does that thing where you tell yourself you’ll follow the main quest, and then ten min

I went into Nioh 3 with very low expectations, and that is probably the biggest compliment I can give it. I do not usually enjoy soulslike games. I am not particularly good at them, and more often than not they end up frustrating me rather than pulling me back in. Elden Ring is the perfect example.

It presents itself as cute, simple, and almost toy-like, which is fitting given the blind-box collectibles it’s tied to. But the longer you spend with it, the more you realise there’s a very deliberate design philosophy at play. This is not a game trying to overwhelm you with systems, stats, or complexity. Instead, it’s built around accessibility, calm progression, and the idea that gaming

Every now and then, something lands on my desk that completely shifts my expectations. I’ve tested plenty of power banks over the years, from bargain bin impulse buys to the supposedly “premium” ones that somehow still feel like cheap, plastic lunch boxes, but the Anker 25K 165W Power Bank sits in a league of its own.
