I’m actually disappointed that I didn’t like Golf With Your Friends more. I enjoy party games, I enjoy minigolf, and I do think that the fundamentals of good minigolf are in there. However, it’s worth remembering that right back at the start with the Nintendo Switch Zen Studios released Infinite...
This is now the fifth time I have played Xenoblade Chronicles, and I’ve enjoyed it every time in the same way that I enjoy re-reading a good book. The game’s themes, storytelling standards, and tone are all spot on. This is an interesting and fundamentally deep game that highlights the...
Who knows what – if anything else – is in the future for Utawarerumono as a property. With the release of Prelude to the Fallen, the core part of the franchise is now all fully (and formally) available in English, and that’s a wonderful thing. I do hope that there’s...
This game is a creatively broken, anti-intellectual insult. Bethesda spat in our faces and, because saliva is a kind of “content,” figured that it could monetise it. Sadly, the success that Blades has seen on mobile – and will no doubt translate to success on the Switch as well –...
As I wrote at the start of the review, Super Mega Baseball 3 feels like the baseball games I used to love from a few generations ago. Liberated of the “depth” of modern sports games, there’s an efficiency to the action that is appealing, and the gameplay modes that it...

Spirit of the North almost nails it. From the art to the characterisation, and even the wordless narrative structure, the developers have clearly put a lot of thought and creative energy into this, and it shows. You might want to play on another platform to get the full scope of...
While it never manages to rise beyond being a fastidious clone of a beloved series, Daymare 1998 is not as terrible as some might have you believe. Sure, it doesn’t have a creative bone in its body, and that is a problem, but it does show that the development team...
One would hope that IllFonic’s past struggles would lead to it delivering more polished games in the future, but Hunting Grounds has many of the same problems that Friday the 13th launched with. Returning players will feel the same sense of déjà vu they would upon watching a disappointing movie...
Digression aside, Sakura Wars was a surprise. From all the promotional material SEGA would have you believe it’s some kind of action JRPG hybrid, but the combat stuff turns out to be its weakest element. It’s not bad, but it’s also not where the magic happens. No, what this game...
