The Red Lantern, however, doesn’t work as a roguelike because it wants you to be emotionally involved in what’s going on, and it’s really hard to keep caring when you’re experiencing the same scenes over and over again. You play as a rookie dog-sledder, who has decided to give up...
The game captures the player’s attention with its surreal tone, depicting the pair climbing a strange tower in the middle of nowhere. In each room, the two are faced with a self-enclosed puzzle which will grant them access to a higher floor. The tower’s denizens are strange and wonderous: mice...

In general, I do find myself wondering if developers should engage with these characters at all. I’ll explain via a comparison: Take Aragon from Lord of the Rings. Within the realm of video games, it’s relatively easy to simulate the fact that Aragon is a martial hero that can slaughter...

But, really, single-player isn’t what Kirby Fighters 2 is about. Nor is it about the relatively serious tone of online multiplayer. Kirby Fighters 2 is a rare gem in that it’s a local multiplayer-orientated game that, in 2020, was not developed by a small studio working on a micro-budget. This...
There are little issues that mean that Undead Darlings wears its “indie” spirit on its sleeve. Voice acting is uneven, with different actors sounding like they recorded the lines at different volumes and using different equipment, with no effort to equalise the sound. The characters are attractive and charming but...

Nonetheless, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is a delight on Nintendo Switch. It’s the ideal pick-up-and-play game for those commutes, it’s also the kind of game that you can play while also doing something else, like watching a movie or TV show. And it’s the kind of game that, if you want...
