Yoshi and the Mysterious Book reviewed by Tom Marks on Nintendo Switch 2.Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is an undeniable delight, with adorable storybook creatures that are amusing to learn about in your first, surprise-filled encounters with them. But while there’s impressive variety on display, it comes at the cost of depth. Nearly all of its best ideas are left to wilt on the vine – especially one clever mechanic that could have supported an entire game on its own, but instead arrives far too late and then disappointingly disappears. Its open-ended levels certainly had me smiling, but the long list of potential Discoveries offers too few moments to take what you’ve learned and think creatively to solve a problem. That’s a significant weakness for a game that’s all about experimentation. The result is the most charming video game bubble wrap you’ll ever pop, and not much more.
When The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+, one of the things that made Star Wars’ live-action episodic TV debut so special was how ably it evoked the wonder of the Original Trilogy while also forging its own unique path through the galaxy after the fall of the Galactic Empire.

In today's Daily Fix:Subnautica 2 is already a hit in Early Access, selling 2 million copies in one day. This comes despite some crazy legal trouble with their parent company KRAFTON (which you should look up because it's kind of nuts), and some players finding the multiplayer offerings a little lacking.

The fun little racing game earned solid reviews, and publisher 2K games has not revealed why it's being removed from digital storefronts. Multiplayer will continue to work until sometime next year.
