VGChartz: "The four titles that made it onto this year's shortlist for Best Simulation Game show that, despite the genre's traditional reputation for being a bit staid, there's plenty of creativity to be found if you cast around with an open mind. This year's final nominees include a theme park-style construction simulator with a prehistoric twist, a relaxing slice-of-life farming sim, a virtual power washer, and, perhaps most unusual of all, a cosy but intricate tea shop sim."

Ivy Road: "Today, we must share some bittersweet news: Ivy Road is closing its doors as of March 31st, 2026.
It’s hard to put into words how thankful we are to have been able to work together on Wanderstop – this is an incredible group of people! And while we had a new project, Engine Angel, that we were excited about, unfortunately the funding didn’t come to fruition and the studio had to shut down."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "With Game of the Year season behind us and with Mario Tennis Fever, the first major Switch 2 exclusive of 2026, bearing down on us, this seems like the final opportunity to celebrate the top Switch 2 games from last year.
The purpose of this article is threefold: to celebrate Switch 2's first year on the market; to act as a buying guide of sorts, not just for Nintendo enthusiasts but also other platform holders, as several of these titles are available on PC and will soon be on PlayStation and Xbox; and, selfishly, to keep current on the Switch 2 library."
