Today, we dive a bit deeper into the RPG genre, focussing on JRPGs and what they're bringing to games in 2026. Here are some of the most interesting 2026 releases! www.player2.net.au/2026/01/game...

We had @gorath44000.bsky.social #review Kirby Air Riders - he definitely got more than he bargained for: “Ah Kirby, that should be nice and relaxing, perfect for my 5-year-old now he’s wrapped Forgotten Land too.” I was of course horribly wrong about the relaxing part…” #kirby #nintendo #switch2

We love to see youth wanting to write about games, so when Lyndon asked if he could write about Angel, A PAX AUS Indie, how could we say no? We didn't expect him to knock it out of the park, but here we are! Check it out now, and let's cheer on the fresh blood! www.player2.net.au/2025/11/pax-...
