Pragmata – Switch 2 Vs PC Graphics Comparison

In this video we’re going to compare the game running on a docked Switch 2 vs a PC with the settings cranked all the way up. While the graphics won’t look as good as they do on a much larger more power hungry PC, Pragmatia runs at a pretty stable targeted 60fps at an upscaled 1080p resolution from 540p while docked. The PC on the other hand is a totally different beast. In this video we’re running the game on its highest settings at a 4k resolution with DLSS and ray tracing enabled, and every texture setting set to its highest value. Regardless of the night and day differences in the graphics details, the Switch 2 version looks really good and even gives some other excellent looking ports a run for their money. Which platform do you prefer?

Replaced Review

Replaced reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on Xbox Series X|S.

“Its combat may be literally hit and miss at times, its sprinkling of sidequests are almost exclusively ho-hum, and its stealth sections take a little too long to properly get into gear. Yet somehow Replaced remains a consistently absorbing piece of pixel art-powered action platforming that I struggled to put down, from the exciting science lab breakout in its opening moments to the captivating climax some dozen or so hours later. Sad Cat Studios should be commended for crafting such a gripping and gorgeous 2.5D action platformer, even though Replaced is one AI-based adventure that could do with a system update to completely iron out the bugs.”

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Review

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream reviewed by Logan Plant on Nintendo Switch 2, also available on Nintendo Switch
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a deeply funny and equally personal civilization simulator. It is genuinely hilarious to create cartoonish renditions of your friends, family members, celebrities, and favorite characters and mix them all together just to see what absurd situations unfold. They’ll fall in love, get into fights, and say completely unhinged things that remain endearing dozens of hours later, even if its somewhat repetitive nature reveals itself well before that point. Where Living the Dream loses me is its extreme sharing restrictions. It’s beyond frustrating that there’s essentially no way to directly share Miis, custom creations, or even simple screenshots online, which is an enormous downgrade from the 3DS version. If you’re not good at designing complex characters or just get bored of it after a while, it can feel frustrating and isolating. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream hands you the keys to a unique, quirky paradise that rewards your creativity and directly reflects your personality – I just wish I could enjoy it with my friends.
