Game Review: Carrion (Switch)
Carrion is a reverse horror game that pulls you into a mysterious facility that you terrorize in your attempts to escape. While this sci-fi horror setting may seem familiar, you’ll be seeing it with fresh eyes. Because this time… you’re the monster.
Game Review: Catherine Full Body (Switch)
Combining a mature and dark love story about the repercussions of infidelity with fast-paced puzzle-platforming may sound like a confusing recipe for disaster, but nine years ago a certain studio in ATLUS somehow managed to make it work with 2011’s Catherine. Fast-forward to the present day, and we now have Catherine: Full Body, a re-release of the bold classic that introduces an entirely new character, Rin, to the narrative, along with a plethora of new endings and gameplay extras – but just how well does this title hold up on the Nintendo Switch in 2020?
Game Review: Northgard (Switch)
The Nintendo Switch has tons of games that span across a massive range of genres, from super fun platformers to addictive racing titles to classic RPGs. One genre that I’ve never really paid attention to much however has been the RTS genre. RTS (Real Time Strategy) is actually a genre I enjoy a lot but I’ve only ever really played on PC. So when Northgard made the jump to the Nintendo Switch, it felt like the right game to give the RTS genre a shot on the Switch.
Game Review: Shantae And The Seven Sirens (Switch)
The Shantae series has been around for almost twenty years and it has gone from strength to strength. The first game in the series that I played was 2014’s ‘Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse’ on the Wii U. It was a super fun game that had all the platforming goodness that I love in there. It’s been almost 4 years since the last Shantae game so to say that I have been anticipating the release of ‘Shantae and the Seven Sirens’ is a bit of an understatement.
Game Review: Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection (Switch)
One of my favourite games as a kid was Mega Man X for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I would play this game religiously but for some reason, I never played any of the other Mega Mega games. Thankfully over the last few years, Capcom has been releasing ‘Legacy’ collections, which cover the entirety of the Mega Man games onto major consoles. Now, Capcom have moved onto releasing legacy collections for the Meg Man Zero collection which I have to say, I’ve never even heard of before.
Game Review: Liberated (Switch)
Developers Atomic Wolf and L.inc were on to something when they tried to put comic books and games together. With both mediums having so much and yet at the same time so little common ground, we took a go at Liberated to see if the developers have perfected what they set out to achieve.
Game Review: My Hero One’s Justice 2 (Switch)
Video games adapted from anime typically fall in to the curse of being shallow and My Hero One’s Justice 2 is no exception. Although there are some great anime games such as Dragon Ball FighterZ or Dragon Ball Z Kakarot that don’t fall into this curse, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is sadly not one of them. Instead, the game lacks any creativity and was clearly rushed out in order to be released during the currently airing season of the anime it’s based on. It’s quite disappointing to see that this game was just another generic anime arena fighter as a video game based on the My Hero Academia series could potentially be amazing with how unique the series is.
Game Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons
After much anticipation and one delay, Animal Crossing: New Horizons hit store shelves on the 20th of March 2020. The trailers and promos promised all the things longtime fans love about Animal Crossing series, along with a few interesting new twists like crafting and terraforming. Did the game live up to everyone’s lofty expectations? How did its attempts to change up the formula turn out? Can a complete newbie to the franchise find something to like in this latest installment? All these questions and more will be addressed in this review.
Game Review: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Expansion Pass
There’s a new House in Fire Emblem: Three Houses but it’s a little odd compared to the others.
Game Review: New Super Lucky’s Tale (Switch)
Nintendo consoles have always been the best home for the platforming genre and New Super Lucky’s Tale is the latest IP to make an appearance on the Switch in the hope of finding an audience. Released back in 2017 along with the launch of the Xbox One X under the title ‘Super Lucky’s Tale’, New Super Lucky’s Tale is essentially the same game but with major improvements to the camera and the DLC packed in.
