Death and Taxes - Switch Review (Quick)

Fans of the classic manga/anime Death Note will likely enjoy the premise of Death and Taxes. You are a grim reaper and your sole purpose is to decide who lives and who dies. The air of bureaucracy and the dialogue adds some humor and lightens the morbid mood. Death

Tiny World Racing - Switch Review (Quick)

The era of 2D racing has all but died with Mario Kart and Grand Turismo and all their cohorts storming forward into the era of 3D, action-packed tracks. For all intents and purposes, it was a leap that solidified the genre’s place in gaming but indie titles calling back

Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut - Switch Review

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge Director’s Cut is the definitive edition of the 2010 DsiWare hit that revived WayForward’s Shantae franchise from deep obscurity. The original game was a cult hit that came too little too late, releasing on the GameBoy Color in 2002 (nearly a year after the

Electronic Super Joy 2 - Switch Review (Quick)

Truth be told, I haven’t experienced the franchise’s debut, Electronic Super Joy, but the sequel is fun in its own right, if not a little tedious. At its core, it’s a platformer that is very clearly inspired by Super Meat Boy (which spawned its own spiritual successor,

Röki - Switch Review (Quick)

Röki isn’t just an indie adventure into Scandinavian folklore, it’s an enchanted modern fairy tale brought to life by sublime artwork and a melodic score that you’d be hard-pressed to beat. From the moment you open it up, there’s a surreal feeling of bliss through the

Unrailed! - Switch Review (Quick)

It’s pretty clear from the get-go that Unrailed! is an abstract mish-mash of neat ideas hurled at the canvas from the developers given that the main menu isn’t interacted with a cursor or anything so mundane but by walking over the flat signs with your cube-y protagonist. So,

Breakpoint

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

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
