Hell is Us
All in all, Hell is Us remains the strongest where it matters the most in this kind of game: the story. Remi’s narrative, his background, and the world of Hadea are some of the most intriguing story beats I’ve ever played through, with the latter in particular standing high and...
So yes, the game feels pretty solid and good, and if you own the original, I would definitely consider picking up the upgrade DLC from the Nintendo eShop—and if you haven’t played the original Forgotten Land before, now is the perfect time to do so.
Despite its occasional flaws and inconsistencies, as well as a story that isn’t all too deep, SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance by far remains one of the best action-packed experiences I’ve played this year, as well as one of the better side-scrollers.
Regardless, I will be diving back into MGS Delta for several playthroughs and live streams to re-experience these classic scenes, battles, and moments all over again for a long time to come, while also hunting down every Kerotan frog and GA-KO duck in the wilderness. Welcome back, MGS.
Drag x Drive
I hope this doesn’t end up being the Switch 2’s best use of the JoyCon mice. I’m hopeful that FPS games may feel better in that regard, but for now, Drag x Drive feels largely like a pass, unless you’re super into these sorts of motion control games, or appreciate...
After finishing Mafia: TOC, I will remember it fondly as a solid solo game experience, and I wish that we could have more games of the same ilk. It doesn’t waste any time with open-world bloat, it tells a compelling story, and gives you the option of being a completionist...
There’s the foundation for greatness here, with an incredibly cute art style, gorgeous world, and compelling characters I genuinely want to know more about, but Tales of the Shire just doesn’t deliver. If you’re looking for a super relaxing and cozy experience, you’ll have a fine time with this one,...
Both are gems and the best Mario Party. So, pick which version you wish. After all, if you get the Switch 1 version, you can still always upgrade in the future for a small fee. So you have nothing to lose.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
There’s a solid game somewhere inside WUCHANG, but it falls short of greatness in several areas, including the fact that this genre is really starting to feel a bit tedious and saturated in 2025. But if you’re craving some of that early early 2010s punishment era Soulslike feeling, this game...
Nintendo hit it out of the park with this one, and I believe that any Switch 2 owner should get this game. You won’t regret it, I assure you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have one more Banana to find to increase my strength and hours of gameplay to...
Overall, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 pair of remakes does a lot of good stuff, opening up the world of skating, expanded and improved, to a brand-new audience. Whether you were born yesterday or have been a THPS veteran for decades, you’ll surely find something in this...
PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY is a stellar remastered bundle that exceeded my expectations. While it’s not the type of game I’d typically gravitate toward, I now fully appreciate its unique appeal. It’s one of those games everyone should try just to experience its truly one-of-a-kind gameplay. I’m sure it’ll stick with...
