I was really excited to see that Gearbox Software posted a new update breakdown on their website on October 2nd! Basically, they’re trying to make more builds viable by giving some underpowered skills a boost. They specifically mentioned that they’re making Forgeknight Amon as strong as the other Vault Hunters, and improving Exo-Soldier Rafa’s summons and Siren Vex’s melee damage to help those builds shine later in the game. They also adjusted Gravitar Harlowe’s Stasis ability to make sure it’s actually useful and you’re getting something out of it. It’s great to see them focusing on build diversity!

The new remasters offer a lot to enjoy, and Digital Foundry recently did a detailed comparison of the improvements and slight reductions in quality. The most noticeable change is the resolution: the original Switch displays games at up to 1080p, whereas the Switch 2 significantly upgrades the visuals to 4K. This makes everything appear much crisper and clearer, particularly when played on today’s TVs. You can find the complete analysis below.

Okay, so this video is about six minutes long – definitely worth getting a coffee for! It gives you a really thorough look at the game, basically covering everything you need to know before you jump back into your adventure around Lumiose City. It’s a great overview, honestly. You won’t be lost when you start playing again!
