SEGA continue to be Switch 2’s biggest supporter with a whole host of releases already available for Nintendo’s latest hardware.

The latest is the brilliant Two Point Museum, a game we adored when it released earlier this year, and we’re pleased to say this is a mostly solid port. It just could have been great.

In fact, I would go one further and say it could have been the preferred place to play the game.

So the good news is the whole experience has made it across with nothing really lost. Having originally played this on PC and mostly with mouse, it did take me a moment to get used to using the analogs and buttons. It’s very well done but not always naturally feeling at times, having to press a certain button to access a certain point of the screen can’t replace the freedom and ease of having a mouse pointer to click.

But thankfully the Switch 2 has JoyCon Mouse mode, so this issue is alleviated, right? Well, no… And this was, I think, the biggest surprise for me. SEGA have even supported this mouse mode in other releases like Puyo Puyo, so the fact that this has released a few months post Switch 2’s launch, and with this game being an obvious, perfect candidate for that support, it’s really disappointing not to have that here.

So, yes, you’re still contending with the slightly more clunky feeling console controls, unfortunately. I will say that the Two Point games do a mostly decent job of handling that movement, as we mentioned in our initial review, with camera pans and dips feeling seamless and natural. It’s also easy to rotate items, place them and even remove them if you need. But Switch 2 has the ability to give the player more options and it’s a shame SEGA haven’t taken advantage of that.

Even with the Switch 2 touch screen, the game could really have benefited from that ease of play, especially for a game like this, but no such luck. In handheld play, text defaults to being a little bit smaller than one might like and this is quite a text heavy game, with lots of description. There is, fortunately, a UI upscale for this so it makes text and interface a lot more manageable and easy to digest, which is a much needed and welcome update since we played the game last.

And this definitely feels like a game that you’ll want to enjoy on the move and take around with you, so just relying solely on the analog sticks is a bit of a disappointment.

The performance is also a little surprising too, again when considering the quality of ports that SEGA have put out with Yakuza 0 and Sonic x Shadow Generations, but surprisingly similar to the Persona 3 Reload port we just received, Two Point Museum does chug on frame rate a little bit when museums get a bit full and the loading screens are surprisingly lengthy. When you’ve seen the games that Switch 2 has been able to handle, it definitely raises an eyebrow that Two Point Museum isn’t running better than it is.

Also, a further disappointment is that HDR is not on by default for this one when docked to a 4K TV, an issue with almost all the SEGA ports we’ve seen so far.

But despite all of the above, this is the same brilliant Two Point Museum we loved and played earlier this year, easily the best in the series to date and one of the most delightful strategy games in recent memory. I cannot stress enough that this is a game you must play and you’ll have a wonderful time with it.

It’s true mastery of the craft, there’s lots of hidden secrets to uncover, there’s layers that keep being added to the game so that it stays fresh, and you’ll really fall in love with the sense of humour and fun aesthetic. It’s also fantastic value for money at the price and you can pick up the game’s first DLC already with a second arriving in just a few short weeks.

Sadly, it’s just hard to say that Switch 2 is the definitive place to play it right now because it isn’t what with the performance and lack of mouse/touch controls. For now, you’re probably still best off checking it out on PC, but don’t give up on this version yet.

The Two Point team haven’t ruled out mouse support entirely, saying they’re looking into it but can’t guarantee anything. Interestingly enough, games such as Nobunaga’s Ambition have actually supported a mouse being plugged into the console dock and they work seamlessly that way too. So you feel this could and should be possible, and honestly, I think it would improve the game experience so much!

For now, this is as good a home as any to play a fantastic strategy game, I just really hope the Two Point team keep working on it and make this the definitive place to play one of my favourite games of 2025.

Verdict

Two Point Museum feels like it should be on the perfect home with Switch 2, but sadly it’s missing a mouse mode that would perfectly suit the game and also suffers from some performance woes and isn’t taking advantage of being docked in full 4K. This is still the same fantastic strategy game we played earlier this year and one of the best games of 2025, and this is still a mostly successful port and great way to play, but it feels like it could have been so much more and better. We really hope Two Point Studios continue work on this one and make it the definitive way to play a fantastic game.
