Every now and again, a game comes along that takes everyone by surprise with a bold new take on a tried and tested formula. Sometimes refining what came before isn’t enough, you really need to innovate to stand out.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here, and one of the biggest questions on everyone’s lips is: how does the console stack up against current-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft?

Despite Valve and Nintendo’s differences, the Switch 2 and the Steam Deck are surprisingly comparable portable gaming machines. Like it or not, the PC and console juggernauts are now going head-to-head for your money.

A good character creator goes beyond letting you create the perfect likeness of yourself. I’m more interested in the freaks of nature that bring a smile to my face every time my character turns around.

The Steam Deck is the perfect handheld gaming companion for any PC gamer who wants to take their library on the go, but it’s not just a one-trick pony for personal play.
