There’s some confusion around the announcement of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster coming to Switch. The initial post on Twitter and Bluesky claimed it was available on the Switch 2, but the provided link directs to the original Nintendo Switch page.

The title Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is unique among Star Trek shows.

Drone footage is now commonplace, which makes the way it’s used in the new documentary Our Land particularly striking. The film powerfully investigates the murder of Chuschagasta leader Javier Chocobar, who was killed in 2009 while defending his community’s Indigenous land rights against miners. It’s also the first documentary by acclaimed Argentine director Lucrecia Martel, known for her films exploring class and colonial history through a personal lens. Here, she examines power dynamics by revealing how those in control shape historical narratives and accepted truths. The men accused of Chocobar’s murder—who used their connections to claim the Chuschagasta land—present blurry camcorder footage of the incident as proof of their innocence. They also rely on official records that falsely claim the Indigenous population was eliminated, conveniently dismissing their present-day claims.

Automata intentionally has you replay key events multiple times, each time seeing things from a different character’s point of view. This slowly unveils more of the story and why each character acts the way they do. Big secrets start coming to light early on, but you won’t fully understand the impact of 2B, 9S, and A2’s stories until you’ve completed all the main routes. If you start a new game after that (and you really should!), you’ll gain a much deeper understanding of everything that happened and why.
