This confirms it. I am officially getting my son a Nintendo Switch.

He is turning six, and the constant begging for phone games and screen time has reached fever pitch. I wanted his first real console experience to be fun, approachable, and something we can actually enjoy together without frustrating controller mechanics.

If you’ve been playing Sins of a Solar Empire II and wondering why the Vasari always looked like they were running from something, you finally get your answer on September 3, 2026.

Lost In Tandem is a new co-op puzzle game from Juice Box Studios and Tempete Studio, and it’s already living rent-free in my head. You play as a robot named Mech-Ute and a young girl making their way through a gorgeous, post-apocalyptic world, solving puzzles and piecing together what happened to everyone else. Think a more colorful cousin of Playdead’s Inside, minus the existential dread.

It’s out now on PC for $14.99, and I have thoughts.
