Tuesday, November 14

• Astral Ascent — This is a fast-paced fantasy-themed 2D platformer roguelite, and it has two player support.
• 📦 Hogwarts Legacy — Of course there are probably far better places to play this one, but if you were really holding out for the Switch port, here it finally is. (Physical release)

Wednesday, November 15
