Dynasty Warriors: Origins was a major breakthrough for the series, finally delivering on the promise of huge battles with hundreds of enemies on screen – it felt like a completely new level of immersion. It was a staff favorite and made our top 10 games of 2025 list. After playing it on PlayStation 5 and Steam Deck, I was eager to see how it would run on the Switch 2, especially knowing the developers were aiming for 30 frames per second. After spending over a dozen hours with the Switch 2 version, I’m impressed with how well it plays in handheld mode. During testing, I focused on challenging missions that caused performance issues on the Steam Deck and dips below 60fps on the PS5, and I replayed sections both docked and in handheld mode to compare it to other platforms.

I’ve seen other Dynasty Warriors games play around with alternate histories, like imagining what would happen if the Yellow Turban Rebellion had actually won. But Origins feels different. It’s way more focused on the characters themselves – like a deep dive into who these four leaders could have been if they’d made better choices. Honestly, it feels like really well-written fanfiction, showing us the best, most heroic versions of these guys if they’d just lived up to their full potential.

Despite a thriving independent game scene in Japan, particularly within the ‘doujin’ community, it doesn’t often gain attention outside of the country.

Ever feel overwhelmed trying to understand long updates, like patch notes for a game? Or wished someone would just quickly explain what’s new in a lengthy online discussion? That’s where AI summarization helps. It’s like having a smart assistant that reads through articles, forum posts, or transcripts and gives you a short, simple summary. It saves you time so you can get back to enjoying what you really want to do – playing the game!

ARC Raiders isn’t your typical shooting game. It’s a tense, high-pressure experience where every choice matters, and success or failure hangs in the balance. The game intentionally creates a stressful environment, combining challenging enemies with the unpredictable actions of other players. What makes a match truly chaotic? It’s a combination of careful game design and the unpredictable behavior of human players.

Written by George R.R. Martin, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a fantasy series set in the world of Game of Thrones, taking place between the stories of House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones itself.
