The Bad
Badminton Time! VR
***click here for our review***
Badminton Time! VR is exactly what the title promises. People wanting a VR badminton game can probably imagine how the game plays. The problem is that Badminton Time! VR feels very inconsistent. The core mechanics are too flawed. Our reviewer also noted “The absence of a campaign mode feels like a glaring oversight, especially given how many of the pieces needed for one are already in place”. Badminton Time! VR just isn’t a finished package, and an easy inclusion in The Bad section of The Three Best (and Worst) Video Games June 2025.
Disney Illusion Island (PS5)
***click here for our review***
Disney Illusion Island is the same game on PS5 that it was on Nintendo Switch. It’s a very simple and easy Metroidvania. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do a good job of emulating the vibes of past Disney Illusion games, almost being completely devoid of Disney content. Our reviewer concluded “It fails as a Disney-themed game, as a retro 2D platformer, and as a continuation of the Disney ‘Illusion’ series”. It would make for a good child’s first platformer or Metroidvania, and it was obviously made with its co-op mechanics in mind. But those aspects couldn’t save it from a score landing it in The Bad section of The Three Best (and Worst) Video Games June 2025.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
***click here for our review***
Nintendo scored a major hit with Mario Kart World Tour, and a major miss with Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. It’s a collection of information, tech demos, and mini games. The whole package gives the player a checklist of things to do, and teaches them about the functionality of the Switch 2 console. To complete the checklist the player has to have accessories like a 4K TV, pro controller, and USB camera. Our reviewer noted “for completionists, who might not have every required accessory, it might be an annoyance”. None of this takes into account that the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour obviously should have been a free pack-in game. If Nintendo thinks this is a full game, then it has been judged as one, and is in The Bad section of The Three Best (and Worst) Video Games June 2025.
