Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is back on Gamersyde, this time with the Switch 2 version. Several display modes are available and you can find out more in our video : in the first part, FSR 3 Frame Generation is enabled and delivers a rather good sense of fluidity, but the input lag seems to suffer quite noticeably causing the controls to feel slightly sluggish. Then from 16:53, Frame Generation is disabled and you’ll see slightly sharper graphics, though you’ll obviously be limited to 30 FPS. Although there is a bit of pop-in and shadows aren’t quite as good as on other platforms, this Switch 2 version is generally quite impressive and proves once again that Nintendo’s latest console is more than capable of delivering high-quality ports.
If there are still a few old-school gamers hanging around here who aren’t quite as seasoned as the rest, there’s a good chance that the release of Toy Story in theaters in 1995 made you want to see Buzz and Woody again on the screen of your console back then. If you’ve been craving a little trip down memory lane as 2026 draws to a close, Digital Eclipse has got you, and your kids, covered with this week’s release of Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition. Since we’re more determined than ever to go to infinity and beyond for you, we’ve put together a quick written rundown inside, but of course we’ve also prepared two in-depth gameplay videos to go along with it all.
No matter how eagerly we await certain titles, the timing isn’t always ideal for us to put together a full review, let alone an English commented video. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse has suffered a bit due to your favorite editors’ hectic schedule these past few days, but we didn’t want to leave you without some initial impressions. So, to kick off this afternoon on the right foot, we’re bringing you a Gamersyde Offline session on the PC version of Konami’s game, with automated English subtitles to make it easier to follow.
End of Abyss, which has been available for two weeks now, did not receive the reception some players and members of the press had hoped for upon its release. However, there’s no denying that it’s a game with a very polished aesthetic and atmosphere. This comes as no surprise, given that the team at Section 9 Interactive is made up of former developers from Tarsier Studios. In fact, it’s impossible not to notice the family resemblance when observing the animation of the heroine in this new title, which is, however, much more action-oriented than the Little Nightmares series. This twin-stick shooter was initially criticized for the repetitive nature of its gameplay loop and the lack of clarity in its map, but it also drew some negative comments due to a few technical issues. However, updates fixed some of these flaws just two days after its release, and the game is clearly in better shape today than it was on launch day. That said, not everything is perfect yet, as we still encountered a few visual bugs just a few days ago, not to mention that players are still complaining about how overly punishing the boss fights are—similar to those in Silksong in terms of resource management. While we haven’t played enough to give you an informed impression of the adventure as a whole, we can at least tell you that we were certainly impressed by the world it depicts and the overall atmosphere. Check out our video of the very beginning of the adventure to see what you can expect.
Time for a new review on Gamersyde. Valor Mortis, the new game from the creators of the challenging Ghostrunner series, is about to be released on PC, PS5 and XBOX Series consoles. After completing the adventure in about thirty hours, it’s time to deliver the verdict on this new title that rewrites French history in its own unique way.
After our brief tour of the new island in The Crew Motorfest with the Switch 2 version, we’re returning to the game today to show you the very first glimpse of the “Expeditions” content—which takes a slight cue from Saber Interactive games like SnowRunner—and “Secrets of Ni’ihau,” which celebrates Ivory Tower’s collaboration with the Tomb Raider franchise. To make gameplay easier with this latest playlist, the game now features a new, fully free camera that finally lets you admire the scenery from every angle.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 returns two years after its release under the new title Dark Arisen, just as the first installment did many years ago. With this new update, the game features numerous improvements to the base game as well as new optimizations, along with an entirely new northern region filled with creatures and characters to encounter. The formula hasn’t changed drastically in Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, with very frequent encounters with local monsters. Too frequent, some might say—and they wouldn’t be wrong—as the game still suffers from a fear of empty spaces and silence, two elements that are nonetheless key to video games in order to build up atmosphere and immersion. If this aspect didn’t put you off two years ago, you’re sure to be happy to return to this universe and its gameplay, which—though sometimes a bit messy—is still capable of delivering epic moments. Exploration still plays a central role in the adventure, as does gathering resources and new gear to make progress less perilous.
Switch 2 ports of titles that have already been successful on other platforms have definitely been coming a cool trend lately. The Crew Motorfest is the latest, and it’s coming to the Nintendo console as early as tomorrow. Because we were sent a code today, it gives us a chance to take a quick look around the brand-new island included for free with the first part of the Year 4 content, which launched today. A quick note about this version, which has a frame rate capped at 30 fps—stable when docked, but apparently a bit less so in handheld mode, especially during the day. On the other hand, in this second configuration, the game looks truly stunning—much less blurry than on a 4K TV—and is beautifully showcased on the console’s screen. The only real downside is the lack of analog triggers in a racing game as driving lacks precision, even though it is designed to be very arcadey. That’s no reason to let it spoil your fun when playing exclusively on Switch 2, or if you want to continue your game anywhere in handheld mode when you already own another version of the game (with your Ubisoft account, this is possible—but be careful, because content purchased on one version isn’t available on the other).
In this week's video of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, we are told a bit more abou Larson, whom fans of the original game will surely recognize as Jacqueline Natla’s henchman. In the original game, the man is an idiot who always believes he can best Lara Croft, but of course, his encounters with her never go as planned.
