REVIEW: Assoluto Racing (2026 Video Game) - on Nintendo Switch


Assoluto Racing finally arrives on Nintendo Switch, bringing its established mobile racing simulator experience to a new platform. The biggest improvement is the move to physical controls, making the game far more enjoyable than using touchscreen controls on mobile. Stable performance, online multiplayer, cross-platform progression and the ability to continue your garage between Switch and mobile are all excellent additions. The included cars and in-game currency also help justify the £16.99 price by offering more value than buying equivalent resources through the mobile version.

However, the Switch release also shows its mobile origins. The touchscreen-focused interface feels awkward without touchscreen support, menu navigation is slow and the graphics and engine sounds feel underwhelming for a 2026 console release. Outside of the bonus content, there is little that separates this version from the mobile game, while the continued use of heavy monetisation and gacha mechanics may frustrate players who have already paid for the game. Despite these issues, Assoluto Racing remains one of the better racing simulators on Switch.

REVIEW: Monopoly: Star Wars™ Heroes vs. Villains (2026 Video Game) on PlayStation 5


Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs Villains is not a traditional take on Monopoly, and that is the first thing players need to understand. Instead of property trading and slow financial battles, it becomes a fast moving team based experience set in the Star Wars universe, with character abilities, shifting control of locations and frequent match changing events. It is built around 2v2 and 3v3 play, either locally or online, although online access requires PlayStation Plus.

The game looks and sounds excellent, with strong presentation, accurate voice work and a steady stream of unlockables that help keep players engaged. It also benefits from flexible match length options, allowing for shorter sessions. However, it is heavily reliant on multiplayer to shine. Single player against AI feels slow and repetitive, there is no 1 vs 1 mode, online play is gated behind a subscription, and the menu system can be confusing. It is best suited to Star Wars fans playing with friends rather than anyone looking for classic Monopoly.
