Kelsey, a developer, has shared their initial impressions of playing Elden Ring on the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite some minor frame rate dips, the experience has been largely positive, particularly appreciating the ability to seamlessly switch between docked and handheld modes. The portability of playing a game like Elden Ring on the go is a significant draw, offering a novel way to revisit the game from its beginning.
Meanwhile, Bertie, another developer, has found unexpected enjoyment in the remastered edition of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The game's immersion in Tolkien's world, including encounters with characters like Aragorn in the Prancing Pony, has been a highlight. The split-screen co-op experience allowed for exploration of Bree and completion of small quests, revealing more depth than initially anticipated. Bertie noted that the action RPG's gameplay mechanics, the visual style reminiscent of the Peter Jackson films, and the improved voice acting contribute to a satisfying experience. The remaster is seen as a welcome second chance for a game that may not have received its due upon its initial release.
