UnderMine
The gorgeous pixel art truly brings to life the Undermine and every living thing within it. The color and lighting help every screen come alive, and the visual presentation adds significantly to the enjoyment of the game. The gameplay loop is an addictive one, which is the hallmark of a...
Gods Will Fall
The lackluster music and washed out visuals do nothing for the presentation, but it’s really a culmination of elements that make Gods Will Fall a game to avoid. Losing all eight characters results in a game over, meaning all your progress is gone. Starting a new game means the difficulty...
Hitman 3
Hitman 3 - Cloud Version has converted me from a casual observer to an enthusiastic fan, and I will absolutely be making my way through as much Hitman content as I can, just not on Nintendo’s platform. Switch owners can purchase the content of the first two games as DLC...
Golden Force
In spite of some genuinely enjoyable platforming and action sequences, Golden Force is unpolished and rusted. The vibrant and colourful aesthetic can’t make up for the poorly-balanced economy and flawed technical aspects. My initial impressions were much stronger than my later ones, and as I made my way through the...
The main story of Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy takes upwards of 30 hours to complete, but filling out the item and monster guides and seeing your way through every companion’s individual stories will add a dozen or more hours to that total. Three initial difficulty...
Personally, I may have gone into this review thinking that having nostalgia for one or more of these games was the best way to enjoy them in 2020. Fortunately, after returning to the first two and playing through Legend 3 for the first time, I can safely say that each...
The only players who are likely to derive satisfaction from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light are those who have gone through every localized release so far and want to experience the very humble beginnings of Nintendo’s own tactical RPG series. As someone who has finished and...
While there’s no doubt that Star Renegades can provide a fresh and satisfying experience, it isn’t likely to do so on Switch. The performance issues are far too much to overcome at present. Constant frame rate dips, frustratingly small text, and game-halting crashes make this version of the game very...
Part Time UFO
The lovable Jobski and his part-time endeavors are absolutely worth checking out on Switch. Even if you’ve already played the mobile version of Part Time UFO, this latest release adds co-op, and the adventure and stacking modes I mentioned earlier, so there’s reason to jump back in. We all need...
After waving the checkered flag, there will definitely be racing fans who find hours and hours of entertainment in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. There may be just as many, though, that open up the box and begin setting up the game only to find that their home just isn’t...
Disc Room
Like Minit and Gato Roboto before it, Disc Room is another compact but wonderful title from publisher Devolver. Leaderboards for each room and an unlockable Hard mode give players ample reason to continue playing even after conquering all 50 rooms, which is no small feat in itself. Unfortunately, as of...
