What We Are Playing: Switch 2 Obsessions, Marvel Fighters, and Community Hikes
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Our weekly check-in covers the games dominating our screens, from unreleased Switch 2 strategy titles and Marvel fighters to tactical sci-fi and community multiplayer sessions.
Welcome back to our weekly check-in on what has the team hooked across our setups. While summer heat has us all glued to our desks, our queues are packed with everything from unreleased strategy heavyweights to community game nights. Over at Eurogamer, the team has been sharing their current rotations, and it gives a pretty clear picture of what is dominating our screens right now.
First up, the hardware elephant in the room. Writing about Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave for the Switch 2 has completely derailed Dom, who reports that the unreleased strategy game is already taking over waking and sleeping hours alike. When hardware and software align this well, it is hard to look away, and this particular entry is shaping up to be an absolute monster for the platform when it finally drops.
Over in the fighting game scene, Connor has been sinking serious time into Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls on PS5. While PC players have been sorting through some early technical hurdles, the console experience has been smooth sailing. Between accessible auto combos that make testing out the roster actually fun and a steady rotation of favorites like Star Lord and Ghost Rider, it is shaping up to be a strong contender for local and online Versus sessions.
On the PC side, tactical games are occupying prime real estate in our brains. Chris is still thinking nonstop about Star Wars: Zero Company after a recent preview build was pulled from his hard drive. The turn-based tactical title boasts clever mechanics, like the operative Jae and her satisfying low health execution shots, that promise plenty of depth for high difficulty runs. Hopefully, it manages to break out of the niche sales trap that so often catches tactical titles.
Finally, Bertie took a break from traditional solo queues to host a massive community game night in Big Walk. Pulling together a full lobby of 12 players for hours of unforced laughs and wandering exploration proved that digital spaces are still at their best when shared with a community.
