A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Under Leaves is the pinnacle of casual gameplay that is designed to lower your heart rate instead of increase it. The Where’s Waldo gameplay is suitable for anyone, the water color visuals are whimsically pleasant from beginning to end, and the ambient soundtrack is so good you’ll want to just keep playing the background at […]
Sold for only $3.99, Blastful is one part twin-stick action and one part vertical scroller. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do either particularly well. Your ship is small but bullets are even smaller. In fact, the bullets are so small and slow it is difficult to shoot anything and easy to avoid all damage. Stranger yet, there […]
Originally released in Fall 2020 on the Switch eShop, Journey of the Broken Circle is an emotional puzzle platformer that should be put in the same category of atmospheric games like Journey, Flower, or Limbo. At its heart, the player simply needs to reach to the other side of the screen but the story and […]
Taxi Chaos isn’t trying to hide the fact this is a Crazy Taxi clone. Created and published by GS2 Games and Lion Castle, this spiritual sequel has no affiliation with Sega at all. Other than the non-Offspring soundtrack and a New York feeling cityscape, Taxi Chaos is pretty much exactly the same game as Sega’s […]
Although there is a single player option, Bonkies is designed for couch co-op and local communication. The concept of stacking items with the help of friends was made popular by Hal’s Switch release of Part Time UFO last year but Studio Gauntlet’s co-op builder carries its own charm and entertainment value. Taking control of a […]
GraviFire by Sometimes You is a simple 2D block pushing puzzle game that is best played in short bursts. The player controls a wisp of fire that has been abducted by aliens, outfitted with a space suit, and forced to push blocks onto switches. There are a total of 50 levels to complete with some […]
Originally released on mobile devices and PC a couple years ago, Summer Catchers by Noodlecake has been ported to Switch. Best described as an adventure endless runner, there are some interesting gameplay concepts here but winds up being a lesson in frustration. You play as a little girl on a quest to see a warm […]
Developed by Decemberborn and published by Elden Pixels of Alwa’s Awakening fame, Cathedral is an 8-bit Metroidvania that follows all the tropes of the genre. In the end, it isn’t anything you have not seen before but that doesn’t mean the journey isn’t worth taking. Playing as a non-speaking knight on a quest to open […]
Developed by Qute Corporation and published by Rising Star Games, Natsuki Chronicles is easily one of the best shooters I have played in a long time. With a leveling system that is addicting and approachable for inexperienced players but adjustable enough to challenge the best shooter players on the planet, there is something for everyone […]
Liberated is literally a comic book game but not in the typical cape-wearing Marvel or DC movie sense. Instead, this downloadable title has a lot more in common with V For Vendetta as you play as Neo-like character who joins a group of liberators trying to free the world from the government’s spying eyes. Although […]
