Nintendo isn’t playing around when it comes to the Switch 2. This follow-up to one of the best-selling, most beloved consoles of all time is being shown off in a series of big ‘experience’ events in 15 cities around the world, so that the gaming public can try it out before its release on – we now know – June 5.

The Ideological Brain leads with an account of an experiment that is worth reiterating. It’s called the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and it shows its participants a selection of cards on a screen. All of the cards have coloured shapes on their faces. One might have, say, two blue squares. Another a single red triangle. It’s up to participants to figure out the rules of this test through trial and error. How do you match a single card at the bottom of the screen with the four differing cards above it?

Atomfall (PlayStation, Xbox, PC, £54.99) Verdict: Different but disjointed Rating:Ah, what a beautiful Cumbrian village! A church steeple rising above thick stone walls and slate roofs. A bakery with little iced cakes in its windows. A bandstand where locals meet and while away the slow-moving hours. Oh, and a great column of radioactive awfulness rising into the sky from the broken towers of a nearby nuclear facility.
