Mouse mode needs to be an option in any Switch 2 FPS. I'm constantly swapping between dual sticks for exploration, and mouse mode in combat.

I love it. (I was still wrapping my head around how to press the face buttons, leave me alone 😅)

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. Red mac Raith dodges left while facing the camera. A long gun can be seen on his back as his scarf trails behind him. The image is covered in red, blue, and green distortions, causing the majority of Red to also be distorted, along with the background. The Firebane glows in Red's left hand, but due to the distortion it is difficult to make out.

The distortion of the image gives it a ghostly appearance, hence the play on words describing Red as a wraith (ghostly), as opposed to using his last name, Raith (no W)

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. Antea stands with her back to the camera, with glowing symbols around her hands. A bright teal beam of light splits the image between her feet before taking a hard right and continuing out of frame, making it appear as though Antea is creating the light with her right hand.

Behind the light, an enemy Specter is obscured and almost not visible. The image gives Antea a powerful appearance, being shot from a low angle and cutting her out of the frame just above her wrists.

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. The character Kate Newsmith is pictured, facing the camera but looking straight ahead with the camera at a lower angle. Kate is wearing a tall hat and a thick turtle neck sweater beneath several more layers.

The image is viewed through the orange glow of a campfire with bright sparks rising in front of Kate. The background is out of focus

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden.

White spectral wisps flow across the screen from the left to the right, into the center, as they trail Antea who is just barely visible at the end of the trails. Other spectral looking lines and lights are visible on the screen which is presented in black and white. A large white spike comes from the top right of the image towards the center, passing above Antea.

A Nightmare's Pane

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden.

Red mac Raith slashes his sword at an enemy known as a Nightmare, using his right hand to slash across his body. His right arm crosses to the bottom left of the image with only his hand in frame, the sword being cropped out of the image. In his left hand he holds a torch-like item known as a firebane which glows orange and lights his face as well as most of his body.

The Nightmare floats away from Red, facing the camera. To the right of Red, the Nightmare's arm is visible and the hand appears to have claws. The Nightmare has ragged clothes which are obscured by Red but are visible from the light of his firebane. The Nightmare otherwise appears as a silhouette against the large window pane in the background.

The window appears to be a rectangle with a triangle on top of it. The frame separates the full pane into two rectangles with triangles on top, with a diamond in the center resting between the triangles. The view outside simply shows grey swirls

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. A full moon rises behind the Meeting House, whose steeple rises towards the center of the moon. The moon is abnormally large and spectral wisps surround it as though they were coming from the moon. Several trees are visible surrounding the base of the meeting house.

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. Antea's hand hangs at her side. The image is cropped so only her hand, part of her wrist, and the edge of her waist at visible. Antea is wearing several bracelets along with a bane ring on each finger. The rings have symbols carved into them which are glowing orange, with the glow appearing off of the ring and producing orange sparks.

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. An old book sits open on a dark brown table; the pages are covered in dirt and a single page is torn out, laying on the table to the right of the book. Near the top corner of the far side of the book, three candles sit in a dish, providing the only light to the scene. Further away on the table a wicker basket is visible and it appears empty. There is a strong vignette to the image, bringing the focus towards the objects on the table, with the top edge of the image being black.

Virtual photography capture from Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden. Antea's silhouette appears in front of a full moon, her head eclipsing the moon. A faint symbol appears overlayed on the image with spell wording faintly visible. One of the curves in the symbol has a similar angle to that of the moon and its placement on Antea helps give the illusion of the edge peeking through Antea

19. Blasphemous 2

Loved the first game, but this one I think took a step back. Weapons-based platforming is a neat mechanic, but I felt like the game relied on it a bit too much. Not a huge fan of cryptic NPCs with obscure side quests either, but not a deal breaker.

18. PowerWash Simulator 2

Never played the first game so this hypnotized me in a way I didn't expect. I didn't even bother putting on a podcast or anything for most of the game. It basically washed my brain for me 😂

Surprisingly interesting story throughout too.

#RolledCredits2025 #Gaming

Screenshot from PowerWash Simulator 2. The player character sits on a cliff wearing a blue hazmat suit. There are three orange cats in the scene, the character is holding one, one is sitting in their lap, and the third is standing on the ground as the player pets it.

In the background a glowing door is visible against the mountain side

17. Luigi's Mansion

Haven't played this since release and adding it to NSO was as a good excuse as any. Great music, gameplay is a bit stiff but it's short enough it doesn't get frustrating.

I still need to play the other two, but I'm glad Luigi has his own series.

Having Luigi hum/whistle the music in Luigi's Mansion is one of my favorite things. Just oozes personality and gets the melody stuck in my head for days 😂
