Biggest FOMO as I'm sick and will be unable to attend both the Dutch Game Week and Dutch Game Awards today. Hope everyone has fun there!

The @simogo.com Legacy Collection is out today! It captures the look and feel of the 2010's smartphone era. Filled with great games and a ton of extras, it is also a path forward for the preservation and presentation of mobile games. Review for @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the latest open-world current-generation title to make the leap to Switch 2. While it doesn't wow us quite as much as Star Wars Outlaws, this is still a solid port. @whilhorst.bsky.social takes a look youtu.be/RLYImDPf26A?...

The first mainline Assassin's Creed game has finally arrived on Switch 2. I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like, but so far this is a great port albeit with its share of graphical compromises. My impressions for @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇

I wrote the review at @nintendonwr.bsky.social for Viewfinder. An ambitious first-person puzzle game that has its amazing gameplay a bit undermined by a slog of a story. It runs fine enough on Switch, but left me wanting more from its mechanics. 👇

I’m a Capcom Stan, but Mortal Kombat has an important place in the history of 2D fighters, and this collection treats the early days of the franchise with the respect it deserves.
Thanks to Willem for all his work bringing my review from the page to video.

I'm in serious awe of some of the amazing machines that folks have designed within Kirby Air Riders. Love it when a game makes people show off their creativity with restrictive tools.

Mijn recensie voor Lumines Arise staat nu op PU. Het is een overstimulerende en soms prachtige game, maar het probeert te vaak iets te graag Tetris Effect na te doen en verliest daarmee een beetje z'n eigen identiteit. Maar voor de puzzelfanaten is het wel een dikke aanrader! 👇
