Breakpoint - Switch Review (Quick)

Breakpoint’s neon sign shoots out after a quick axe to the shin, revealing a minimalistic rogue-lite with oodles of charm and polish. Imagine the feeling of booting up Space Invaders brought to a modern handheld device, fresh off the production line just like it was back in those old

Party Hard 2 - Switch Review (Quick)

Party Hard 2 should not exist. The entire premise is mass murder of civilians in public places; a disgusting prospect in general, but even more so due to the senselessness of the violence. The objective of the second level is to kill the 66 people attending a party. Most video

Deleveled - Switch Review (Quick)

The classic jump-y puzzle games of the internet’s hay-day that you would boot up in the middle of class when your teacher wasn’t looking are a nostalgic treasure that many of us keep neatly tucked away in our noggins. Rarely do you see this older formula brought to

Ary and the Secret of Seasons

Ary and the Secret of Seasons - Switch Review

Ary and the Secret of Seasons is a game that looks like something I would enjoy, but can it really be judged by its trailer alone? The weather mechanics look like something straight out of Oracle of Seasons but is Ary and the Secret of Seasons as good as the

Minoria – Switch Review

Metroidvania? Check. Side-scroller? Check. Indie? Check. Inspired by Dark Souls? Check. Minoria ticks all the boxes when it comes to the hack-and-slash run-and-jump genre that’s rapidly ramping up in popularity, whether that be the husband-and-wife helmed Salt & Sanctuary, the beloved masterpiece Hollow Knight or the rogue-lite gem that

Adventures of Pip - Switch Review

Nostalgia is a powerful tool in video games; sometimes even a single pixel can take you back to better times. Adventures of Pip understands this by taking place within a world where pixels and sprites are common knowledge and Princess Adeline contains the magical ability to shift them. The kingdom

Manifold Garden - Switch Review (Quick)

Following the triumph of the Portal-like Superliminal, it’s a treat to have yet another abstract puzzle game to sink your teeth into. Manifold Garden is wonderful, with its gravity-based puzzles, sublime scale with its eery echoing footsteps and gorgeously unique visuals. If complex, mind-bending challenges are your thing, then
