Welcome Tour is the Switch 2’s welcome surprise, and might even be worth your 8 quid

I normally hate talking about video games in terms of how much money they’re worth, but with Welcome Tour – and against the backdrop of video games’ wider squeeze on its audience – that discussion feels unavoidable. To get it out of the way: Welcome Tour feels like a pack-in game, and after the news broke that it would, instead, cost you actual money to play this seemingly staid, interactive console manual – one that seemed pretty similar to the free, pack-in Astro’s Playroom on PS5 – there was a very understandable reaction. That being: this game is probably not going to do very well.
