REVIEW – Wreckin’ Ball Adventure (Switch)
Wreckin’ Ball Adventure is a non-violent physics platformer in which the player controls a robotic ball. While the ultimate goal is to escape a lava and platform filled factory, the player is tasked with reaching the end point of each stage while collecting optional goodies along the way. Controlling the ball initially feels like controlling…
REVIEW – The Blackout Club (Xbox One)

REVIEW – Epic Clicker Journey (Switch)
Epic Clicker Journey has to be one of the most ridiculous, absurd, painful, and honestly just stupid games released on the Switch eShop… and I couldn’t stop playing it! Not only did I play this game until the end, I finished it in only a few sittings. Even though the entire premise is dumb, I…
REVIEW – Never Give Up (Switch)
Armor Games Studio and Massive Monster, creators of The Adventure Pals, have taken their platforming background and released Never Give Up on Nintendo Switch, a sequel to the web game Give Up. Like so many other recent platformers, players are faced with highly challenging stages with a visual style that is covered in personality. Never…
REVIEW – Exception (Xbox One)
Exception plays into its namesake because it is an exception to the popular platforming genre that has become a fad over recent years. Instead of focusing on clearing stages of steep difficulty, Exception highlights player speed and highly reactive controls. Basically stealing Tron’s visual look and plot, the player is tasked with stopping computer viruses…
REVIEW – Taimumari: Complete Edition (Switch)
Originally released on Steam a few years ago, Taimumari is now available on the Switch eShop. Fitted with the “Complete Edition” at the end of the official title, this Mega Man style platformer includes all the extras of the original. Even though it has a difficult to pronounce name, Taimumari follows the Mega Man formula. …
REVIEW – Tetsumo Party (Xbox One)
Remember that bad TV game show called Hole In the Wall where contestants had to stand in awkward poses to fit through a moving wall? Tetsumo Party is exactly that and nothing more, like a single Mario Party mini game published into its own product. Using only the trigger and shoulder buttons, each input is…
REVIEW – Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries (Switch)
The reaction platformer has become a popular subgenre ever since Super Meat Boy introduced the ridiculous premise years ago. Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries is the latest game to attempt the tough-but-fair platforming fad. Instead of simply reaching the end of each stage, Robbie Swifthand incorporates a unique mechanic, for better or worse,…
REVIEW – Catch A Duck (Switch)
Not to be confused with Nintendo’s classic Duck Hunt, Catch A Duck is a top down action puzzle game that incorporates some minor strategy along with some light stealth mechanics. Although it doesn’t have much depth or staying power, this is a very casual game that can be mildly enjoyable if keeping expectations low. Visually,…
