Review: Slowdrive
While it's not as varied as I would have liked, I guarantee that Slowdrive will be the best racing game you play this year starring a sloth. The levels are bright and colorful, the courses are decepti...

Review: Black & White Bushido
Black & White Bushido has a fun concept that only works when you're playing against real people. As a solo game, there's very little to enjoy about the far too easy experience. What this game needs is...

Review: Lock's Quest
Even though I ran into some frustrating technical issues, that didn't stop me from wanting to play through the entire adventure. There's just something about the building and fighting loop that kept m...

Review: Spellspire
For as much as I admire the concept, Spellspire's wordplay is just too repetitive for its own good. I can see this being fun on the go or in small doses, but there isn't enough variety to keep the con...

Review: Thumper
I really enjoyed Thumper. It's challenging in all the right ways and a near perfect game to be played in the Switch's handheld mode. The action comes at you so fast that you can't look away for a seco...

Review: Embers of Mirrim
Embers of Mirrim is a perfect example of a developer taking a simple concept and making the most of it. The idea of controlling two separate characters at the same time may not be completely original,...

Review: Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island
Although this is aimed at those of us who remember platformers from the early 2000s, I kept thinking that the real audience is probably much younger. Between the simple gameplay and light difficulty, ...

Review: Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days
When it comes right down to it, I can overlook a lot the adaptation problems and writing that pales in comparison to what Quentin Tarantino accomplished. Hell, I can even look past the crummy characte...

Review: Future Unfolding
More than anything else, Future Unfolding is a relaxing puzzle game that never holds your hand. It sends you on a cryptic quest that is all about exploration and discovery, offering an adventure that ...

Review: World to the West
World to the West is a good game that has a hard time maintaining its wit and charm. The longer it goes on, the less compelling it becomes. There are still a lot of good ideas here and I enjoyed most ...

Review: Missile Cards
As both a card game and a strategy game, Missile Cards is near perfect. It's both accessible to pretty much everybody and complicated enough to be deeper than you might expect. This is the kind of gam...

Review: Last Stitch Goodnight
Last Stitch Goodnight is something of a mixed bag. On one hand, I like the exploration and boss battles. But the good things are largely overshadowed by the stiff gameplay and repetitive fights. This ...

Review: Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom
Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is a broken game that needs to be fixed before you even consider spending money on it. This is a shame, since I like the merging of 3D fighting and role-playing elements...

Review: Riptale
Riptale is the perfect example of an incredibly tough game that is hard to put down. Every time I died, I wanted to jump back in and see if I could go further. Between buying new weapons, finding weir...
