OverTime Gamer (OTG): Nintendo Switch 2 reviews

Your guide to choosing the perfect game for chilling after a day of work.

OTG was founded by 4ru4k, a casual player who plays after work and on weekends, and is written by casual players like you. Not a pro, no guides, no 100% runs. Every game gets the same question: will it give me space to chill?

Effort and ChallengeTwo scores next to the game score. Effort is how much you have to learn and remember. Challenge is how hard it is to beat. Easy isn't the same as light.
Real hours, real setupEvery review shows how many hours I've played, whether I play handheld or docked, and what gets in the way of a relaxing evening.

A good game that has aged, with great characters

Grim Fandango Remastered · Nintendo Switch 2

A film-noir adventure in the Land of the Dead with great characters and a live-recorded soundtrack. It feels old and leaves you guessing.

The best flight simulator on Switch, and a really chill one

A serious flight simulator done well: real airports, good planes, accurate physics and a short learning curve. No ATC and a flat map, but the best on Switch.

Short, dark and clever, with puzzles that finally click

A short black-and-white puzzle game with no story, no music and great sound. The puzzles are fun, and you can play one or ten in an evening.

Included with Switch Online, and a lovely trip down memory lane

Super Mario Bros. 3, Metroid, Zelda and dozens more, included with Switch Online. Two buttons, saves, and a perfect short evening.

Laggy, buggy and a total waste of money for me

Soccer on Switch 2 that lagged, glitched and cost me matches. Laggy controls, missing leagues and a dull player mode. Not one to chill with.

E5C42.0 OCT 9, 2026 · 8 MIN READ Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Bigger, wilder, and a lot more to think about

Sky islands, a huge underground and a building system that lets you make anything. Incredible, but it asks more of your brain than Breath of the Wild did.

The OTG rating

Easy isn't the same as light.

Every review gets two numbers on top of the game score. Effort is how much you have to learn and remember. Challenge is how hard it is to beat. A game can be simple and brutal, or gentle and exhausting. After work I usually want both low, but not always.

E3C4 reads as "medium effort, tough challenge".
