There's no denying that the Fromsoftware games are amazing, but when it comes to cooperative gameplay, they leave a lot to be desired.
Mycopunk is an upcoming co-op shooter from Pigeons at Play and Devolver Digital that is as fun and chaotic as it is strategic!
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.

interesting thing is, that the switch 2 is still the inferior version, despite it being more powerful.
Maybe they could just cut the multi-player aspect theybdonhave and leave it single player. Yay more resources for the actual good part of the game.
isn't there a mod out there that does coop properly?
they're a talented dev. if they put in the effort, they could pull it off and it could be a great experience. no one expected ghost of tsushima to have co-op and it turned out to be a surprise hit. there were some issues, but as something that the game was never really supposed to do, it turned out great. not doubt from software could pull off something similar.
I feel like their MP is deliberately and intentionally designed the way it is. Is it convoluted? Yea. Then again, it feels like such a FromSoft way to be. Honestly, Elden Ring wasn’t difficult to do MP, they made an MP menu and you simply click an item to ask for co-op or invade. Put in a code for a specific friend to join.
They don't have to do shit. They've become one of the hottest dev studios in the last decade despite you not having a fun co-op experience.
"But on the other end of the spectrum, progressing through the games, completing objectives, killing bosses, and things of that nature, I’m not too fond of."
Sounds like you just don't like this genre of game. No shame, but this reeks of "why doesn't DS have an easy mode?!"
You summon ghosts to help you. That's it. Soulsborne games aren't supposed to have lobbies. Low player count won't make a lobby system any more viable.
