When the game Doom was successfully brought to the Nintendo Switch, players jokingly called it an “impossible port” – a term that quickly became popular whenever a demanding game from other platforms ran surprisingly well on the less powerful Switch. Over time, several other games defied expectations and made the jump, including Wolfenstein 2, Hellblade, The Witcher 3, No Man’s Sky, and Ace Combat 7. These large, visually impressive, and action-packed titles were all carefully adapted for the system, and it was always impressive – and a little magical – to see them running on a handheld console released in 2017, even if they weren’t perfect.

2025 was a seriously great year for horror! I got totally hooked on a few movies – Ryan Coogler’s vampire film, Sinners, was awesome, and Zach Cregger’s Weapons was genuinely messed up in the best way. Then Danny Boyle dropped 28 Years Later, which was a fantastic follow-up. Honestly, a bunch of horror flicks ended up being some of my favorite movies of the whole year!

In 2025, I discovered a lot of great new games that weren’t part of any well-known franchise. I really enjoy going into a game knowing nothing about it, without any expectations or outside opinions, and then being pleasantly surprised.
