#1 - Firewatch
I've been meaning to play Firewatch for years now, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. It's a deeply human story that went in directions I never would have expected.
Beautiful storytelling and absolutely perfect use of strong colour in its design.

My 2025 Nintendo Switch year in review - seems like roguelikes were my main focus! Interesting to look back on the lifespan of the Switch and see my most played titles.
As a new dad, I think it's fair to say I might not be fitting in quite as many hours of gameplay this year. 😅

This is blatantly false and misleading reporting.
One of the issues of AI usage is it starts to make people hyper-vigilant, leading to false positives.
The images Nintendo have used are legitimate (there are 4K versions available with zero markers for AI), yet they are being vilified for AI usage.

I'm begging the SEO slop mills to write less leading, better headlines than this. And I feel acutely equipped to comment since I wrote for TheGamer and know their process.
