There are quite a few reasons that Octopath Traveler 0 should be a video game I really enjoy as it checks a number of boxes of what I typically love to find in video games. Unfortunately, the final product is not up to par.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a total mixed bag. There are certain aspects to it that I definitely enjoy, but in a lot of key areas the game also really misses the mark. After having loved Pokémon Legends: Arceus when it was released three years ago, it’s hard not to view Z-A, its successor, as somewhat of a disappointment.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a (not too hard) platformer that’s incredibly similar to 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey, which was also developed by the same team. How does this new Switch 2 title compare?
