Splatoon 3
When the Splatoon series was first announced, it was a baffling reveal. A third person shooter by Nintendo seemed utterly unbelievable at the time, and one with such a strong paint-soaked aesthetic was surprising. I’m sure a lot of folks expected it to be a one-off, a game that didn’t...
Rune Factory 5
Rune Factory 5 has been a game I have been waiting for since I was lucky enough to review Rune Factory 4 Special on Switch a couple of years ago. That release managed to hit the perfect spot between action RPG and Farming Sim without feeling like it’s giving either...
Road 96 is a road trip game. A pretty easy way to summarize it, that both explains everything and nothing at all. What it is really about is an attempt to escape the country of Petria and cross over its border. Driving, hitchhiking, or even just catching the bus to...
It may not look it, but Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a game about imposter syndrome. It lulls you into a false sense of security, with the cute characters and dialog and with the way you can literally colour the world with a magical paintbrush. Then, out of nowhere, it...
If you love the very special brand of relaxation that comes from the Animal Crossing series, but after over a year with New Horizons are looking for something similar but just a little bit different, then maybe Cozy Grove is the game for you. It doesn’t feel so much like...
Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is another classic farming sim entry by the original Japanese Harvest Moon developers. After playing Friends of Mineral Town quite recently, I can say that this is definitely a more modern take on the genre with some of the accoutrements that we have...
To say that Blue Fire surprised me would be an understatement. When I started the game it seemed like it was little more than a mediocre 3D platformer trying to emulate a Souls game, with a little bit of Zelda mixed in. As I continued playing though, the platforming got...
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is the creation of ustwo games, best known for the award-winning Monument Valley. A game that I literally begged my mum to let me install on her iPhone because at the time I didn’t have a phone powerful enough for it. Monument Valley is a gorgeous...
A little over a year after the release of Devil May Cry 5, Capcom has come through with Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, an updated version of the already great game that does an amazing job showcasing the power of next gen consoles, Xbox Series X|S and PS5. Along...
There are plenty of farming simulators out there, but finding a way to stand out among the likes of Stardew Valley can be a challenge. One way to do it is to find a niche. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin differentiates itself by being half farming sim and half side-scrolling...
If your favourite character to play in Super Smash Bros is Kirby, well, do I have some good news for you. Kirby Fighters 2 is going to scratch that very specific itch, because while it plays like Smash, pretty much every player character is Kirby wearing a different hat. It’s...
When Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning first released in 2012, it came and went very quietly. There were many fans who swore by the game, but other than that it was mostly forgotten. So you can only imagine the shock when a remaster was announced earlier this year. The game is...
