Sundered originally released in 2017, by the same developers of Jotun and while I missed the opportunity to jump into this metroidvania style hack-and-slash, almost two years later they’ve released the Eldritch Edition completed with brand new updates. With a bit more content to try out, I thought it was...
Coffee Crisis
Just hearing the title Coffee Crisis, you’d be forgiven for assuming that this game is a restaurant sim in which you prepare and serve cups of joe to impatient coffee-shop patrons. No, in this case, Mega Cat Studios has served up more of a 90s-style beat-em-up for Switch fans, a...
It’s certainly not a game for everyone. In fact it might have been an irredeemably depressing experience, except that it does have some interesting elements. There’s a fair bit of spycraft to the game, as you set up surveillance on your targets using devices like hidden cameras. Probably the most...
Rival Megagun
Tired of just shooting at “the bad guys” in a shmup? How about pitting yourself against not only wave after wave of enemies but other players as well? That’s the concept of Rival Megagun from Spacewave Software. As someone who fairly regularly indulges in the shoot ’em up genre, this...
Ashen
Ashen is full of nonsense. I don’t mean its gameplay. The fighting, exploring, advancement and traversal mechanics are all well thought out and a ton of fun. I’m talking about the story. Every time a character in Ashen speaks, my eyes start to glaze over. Then I snap back to...
Dusk
If I could shake the creator of Dusk, David Szymanski’s, hand I would. I know it would be a firm, agreeable handshake with a slight nod and a smile. It’d be my sincere thanks given for getting me back to a memory I had nearly forgotten in my adulthood: the...
Gris
GRIS is truly hard to describe. It’s a moving painting, a surreal experience starting in pale colors but eventually highlighted by vibrant colors. Each set piece looks like it belongs in a museum, a beauty truly exhilarating to watch in motion. Couple that with a truly moving story – even...
Imagine waking up one morning to realize the world isn’t quite what you thought it was. That child-like innocence of being protected from the harsh reality of the world stripped away, and yet the only thing you have to keep you safe is… a band of misfit thieving cats? NAIRI:...
Having never played any of the Sky Force games over the years, I confess I came to the review for the latest installment, Sky Force Anniversary on the Switch, with a blank slate. At first glance, there’s certainly a lot that is familiar – it’s a vertical-scrolling airplane shoot em...
Let’s face it, eventually, some species of extraterrestrials are going to arrive at our planet and start kicking our collective asses. Some of us might die during the first wave of attacks – victims of unfortunate circumstances, just not seeing it coming. Then there will be those of us who...
Guacamelee! 2
It’s been more than five years since DrinkBox Studios first released Guacamelee!. When it released, the game was a great success, earning stellar reviews from critics. Its story, art, and gameplay were all praised for being fresh and exciting. But again, five years have gone by. The gaming climate is...
Ride 3
Racing games are everywhere, and they have been since the early days of gaming. As a result, every racing game has to find some way to sell itself as something new, fresh, and interesting. Whether they sell themselves on style and personality, on multiplayer, on realism and graphics, or on...
