This week’s roundup of our hot takes from the past week includes a plea for Nintendo to let us buy older games again on the Switch 2 like we could in the days of the Wii’s Virtual Console instead of just locking all that stuff behind a subscription paywall and letting us pay for the privilege of “accessing” it, but not actually owning it. We also rave about the inventory system in the great new role-playing game Avowed, go hands-on with Monster Hunter Wilds, and explain why some Overwatch 2 fans are actually excited about the return of loot boxes. Read on for all this and more.
