What I like (Star Fox)

Visually, the game looks good on the Switch 2 (despite some mixed responses to the character model)

Classic Star Fox gameplay returns

An optional control scheme this time around

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Star Fox)

Another remake of Star Fox 64

Part 4 FF7 Rebirth

Me playing the Demo - https://youtu.be/f_8pYS6QlTw

What I Like (FF7 Rebirth)

Like FF7 Remake, gameplay/combat is enjoyable

The game is running well on Switch 2 (even at 30fps)

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (FF7 Rebirth)

Although Switch 2 DLSS helps the visuals do take a hit (Some parts are ok, others are not)

Some pop in here and there
