Gamescomfort. Gamescom 2026 is underway following yesterday's Opening Night Live show , and footage from the various Switch 2 games playable at the show is starting to surface online.

Random: This Zelda: TOTK Podracing Build Has Us Craving Galactic Racer On Switch 2
We have Star Wars: Galactic Racer at home. Our prayers for a Star Wars: Galactic Racer Switch 2 announcement still haven't been answered, so our minds have naturally started to drift to other Podracing alternatives on the system. We recalled a crafty little Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom build from a few years back that rather brilliantly brought the Boonta Eve Classic to Hyrule, and what do you know, in the two years since, the designer has refined the build for even more film accuracy. There has been no rest for @domodesu0002 , it seems. The new Ultrahand build makes the first design look like a proof of concept, now complete with realistic-looking engine covers, rockets, a more Anakin-esque cable system, and a chassis that looks straight out of Tattooine.

New D&D RPG Warlock is an open world spell-collecting game with a touch of Far Cry, and that's just fine by me, actually
This week we got our first proper look at Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, Wizard of the Coast's new RPG-tinted action game. In theory, it's the story of a grizzled weapon master, searching a lawless pocket dimension for somebody precious to her, but I disapprove massively of this objective, because it sounds like it's going to get in the way of searching for weird new spells and making a catastrophic mess. Created by a team of former Far Cry , Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell devs, Warlock gives you an open world full of charms, cantrips and conjurations to gather and fool around with. I'm really hoping it's as open-ended as they're making it sound. Here's a video, followed by some commentary from creators Invoke. Read more

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review
Putting 'legacy' in the title of your game naturally encourages considerations about what that legacy might be – and that, in turn, invites thoughts about its identity. (And perhaps 'supremacy' and 'ultimatum' if you're a big Jason Bourne fan.) It might sound silly to say of a game with some of the most impressive faces and places you'll see this – or any – year. But to me, A Plague Tale is spiritually double-A, and I absolutely mean that as a compliment. I find myself instinctively rooting for this series: there is still something of a scrappy outsider quality to it, even as the credits list appears to lengthen with each release. Maybe it's partly because Asobo doesn't have the budget or personnel of games from Sony or Microsoft's first-party stables – or any of the other megapublishers, for that matter. But it's mostly because it features the kind of design and narrative choices I sense would be sanded down or cut entirely from the bigger-budget crowd it clearly wants to hang out with. Read more
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review – a competent action game spinoff that loses what made its predecessors unique
For a series about light and dark, it's appropriate that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a spinoff that's trying to escape the main entries' shadow. Developer Asobo Studio have dropped much that is familiar to explore exactly what a Plague Tale story can be. Resonance doesn't feature series protagonists Amicia and Hugo. It is set 16 years before the events of the last game, long before the siblings flee across wartorn medieval France, hunted by the soldiers of the Inquisition. In Resonance, you play Sophia and see how she became the woman who saves Amicia in A Plague Tale: Requiem . You learn how, as a child, she was kidnapped by the Inquisition and injected with a poison that gave her visions of a strange island. How her father, the leader of a group of smugglers, found the island and died there searching for treasure and a cure to Sophia's dreams. And how Faro, her father's successor, continues visiting the island, seeking to unearth its secrets. Resonance's early chapters see a now teenage Sophia growing frustrated with Faro. The smuggler leader never takes her with him to the island, despite – and because of – the mounting casualties in the expeditions. Guiltridden, Sophia stops sharing her visions. Those chapters also teach you Resonance's focus: combat. Read more
