Black Myth: Wukong is everything we hoped for and more a game that, by its own merits, is set to crown itself as one of the best of the year, without a doubt.

Here, you’ll find hours of entertainment and a good hundred final bosses for your delight, enjoyment, and frustration the Yin and Yang perfectly represented in a video game.

Dragon's Dogma 2 follows pretty closely many aspects from previous entries in the franchise, both the good and the bad. Gameplay-wise, Dragon's Dogma 2 definitely includes elements that feel a little bit outdated, and that could've been tweaked one way or another in order to further improve the overall experience. Still, this is an excellent RPG, and every fan of the genre is certainly in for quite a treat.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder makes the jump to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside its new expansion, “Encounter in Belabel Park,” which adds previously unseen content to the base game in the form of challenges spanning different formats.

This game is in every sense a new big hit by Nintendo, with its presence being as impactful as Odyssey's back in the day.
