"One wrong move and everything's lost": Metaphor: ReFantazio battle lead explains why turn-based JRPGs rule and why they absolutely have to be hard

4 days ago | gamesradar.com | Kaan Serin |Rollin Bishop

Metaphor: ReFantazio's combat is another feather in Atlus' already impressive cap, but the game's lead battle planner reckons difficulty is a huge reason why turn-based fights can be so, so good. Kenichi Goto is no stranger to the formula either, having led the combat systems for Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden, and other beloved games before working on Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Grossest game of the year doubles as the most kitty friendly, as you can pet real-life cats amid alien gore: "There was like a casting for cats"

Cronos: The New Dawn – the first original horror IP developer Bloober is working on after its Silent Hill 2 remake – is a rancid reimagining of Soviet-era Poland, and sweet kitties apparently love feasting on the monstrous flesh it's littered with. Or something like that, based on what Cronos co-director Wojciech Piejko told GamesRadar+ during a recent interview at GDC 2025.
Cronos: The New Dawn co-directors talk merging abominations, Resident Evil, Dark Souls, and Netflix's Dark of all things: "We've got a deep psychological story to tell"

Developer Bloober Team has perhaps more eyes than ever on it thanks to the rather successful, critically and commercially, Silent Hill 2 remake that was released in late 2024. But that's a remake, and Cronos: The New Dawn is the opposite – an all-new survival horror IP. What sort of statement do you try to make following all of that success with the first original work since?
I was a Drag x Drive skeptic, but playing the Nintendo Switch 2's wheelchair basketball game using two Joy-Con as mice made me a believer

While much has been made of Nintendo's decision to go in a more straightforward route by naming its upcoming console the Nintendo Switch 2 – arguably the most normie option the company has gone with in my lifetime – the spirit of experimentation that's arguably defined Nintendo feels alive and well in Drag x Drive, the double mouse control wheelchair basketball game.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a baffling, fascinating toy that still makes no sense to me

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is… well, odd. As one of the lucky few that actually had the opportunity to already put my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 – though not my tongue on games, sadly – a constant internal refrain has been revisiting my time with Mario Kart World, playing Donkey Kong Bananza, and more.
After racing my heart out in Mario Kart World, I'm convinced the 24-player Knockout Tour is a real racing revolution

If you'd asked me before I played Mario Kart World for the Nintendo Switch 2 whether I considered myself a competitive person, I likely would have said, "Not really." As a general rule, I avoid conflict and even my boss here at GamesRadar+ has said my best quality is how personable I am. And yet, after just half an hour with Mario Kart World, I was calling for digital blood and (politely) demanding a second go around.
Donkey Kong Bananza is the most fun I've had with Switch 2 yet thanks to its gleeful, chest-thumping destruction

While I surprised even myself with how much I enjoyed Mario Kart World, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the Nintendo Switch 2 really impressed with its graphics and performance, none of the games I played for the new Nintendo console filled me with as much maniacal glee as Donkey Kong Bananza, a new 3D Donkey Kong title that's all about digging holes and breaking blocks. This is coming from someone who appreciates a good Donkey Kong game, but isn't an aficionado by any means.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond feels so at home on the Switch 2, that now I'm a little worried about the last-gen version

While it seems a bit silly in hindsight, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond looks great on the Nintendo Switch 2. That much should be apparent in basically all the footage anyone sees, but playing it in person is an entirely different beast.
Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 impressed me, but it's the statement of intent it means for Nintendo that's stuck with me

3 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | Rollin Bishop

It's more than fair to say that when Cyberpunk 2077 initially launched, its performance was… poor. This isn't even a particularly contested point; developer CD Projekt Red has admitted outright that it was a disastrous release initially. "Initially" being the operative word here, because from my time with Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2, you'd likely never know if you didn't already.

2 hours agoCommentary: At 37 years of age, I've come to realize some things about the gadgets I use every day. But maybe I'm the problem. I've been a dedicated tech geek pretty much all of the 37 years I've spent on this planet. While I now spend my days testing the latest gear, from the iPhone 16 Pro to …
