Achilles: Legends Untold is a functional isometric souls-like that plays well enough and has plenty of territory to explore but falls short in its Switch port. It isn’t completely unenjoyable by any means and mechanically it is quite solid. But ultimately through the combination of a rough Switch port, poor...
Worlds of Aria
Worlds of Aria is a highly accessible, well written, tabletop inspired adventure. It can make for a fun adventure with your regular party (near or far), or an intro to people who are completely unfamiliar with this style of game. Veterans may find some mechanics a bit too simple to...
All told, Tales of Graces f Remastered is an impressive game, with some of my favorite game characters and gameplay in some time. It looks and runs like a dream on the Switch, too, which made for a wonderful visual experience. Reportedly Bandai Namco is looking to remaster more of...
A million years isn’t an appropriate sentence for amnesia sufferers, but I’d consider it for trope overuse.
While I’m a little less over the moon about this game in 2025, I’m still very happy that Oath in Felghana is out on a modern console in the west. From the era of its release, it’s one of the best action RPGs of its style and even to this...
I appreciate that Night Dive chose this game to remaster because I’ve held it in such high regard for so long. Despite all my complaints, it was fun to revisit this 2002 game in part because I came to appreciate how far squad-based shooters have come in the 22 years...
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind does an admirable job of channeling the ‘90s show and video game era. The Rangers themselves are a bit hard to distinguish in terms of how they play, which makes subsequent playthroughs a bit less enticing, but there are stage objectives to complete for...
Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic is as faithful of a translation of the original management classic as you can possibly get. While it stumbles a bit when it comes to its controls and certain performance issues it is one of the most extensive and elaborate versions of RCT you can find. I...
I was genuinely shocked by how much I wound up liking MST. It’s bizarrely true to the source material while somehow succeeding in being a completely different game that’s still super fun. I’d talk more about the roguelite aspects of the game but they aren’t intrusive, which is honestly a...
Rise of the Golden Idol retains a lot of the great design and gameplay from Case of the Golden Idol. Its new graphical style is a welcome change and makes the world feel a lot more vibrant and lively. But it also falters underneath its own weight, with a far...
Peglin
Peglin definitely is not for everyone. Its roguelike structure combined with a surprising amount of luck that is required to see the end of the game took quite a long time to grow on me. The lack of properly explained mechanics and way in which you can’t influence the board...
Neat features like strategic airship battles and the ability to swap party members in combat buoy an experience that can at times feel overly jokey and contrived. The graphics and art style do a great job of transporting you back a few decades, but some of the music can be...
