Alwa’s Legacy (Switch) Review

I had heard about Alwa’s Awakening a while back, and retro platformers are always something I look into. So when I heard about Alwa’s Legacy, the 16-bit sequel coming to Nintendo Switch, I had to give it a look. Granted, it probably…

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (PS4) Review

I think it is pretty safe to say that any child of the ’90s (or any adult of that time period) that owned a Sony PlayStation has probably at least heard of Crash Bandicoot. After the release of the Crash Bandicoot N’Sane…

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (PS4) Review

I’m a huge fan of Vanillaware’s games, particularly Odin Sphere (and Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir by extension) and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. The distinctive art style, multi-protagonist storytelling, and involved storylines are nothing short of masterful. With 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Vanillaware (and…

Ary and the Secret of Seasons (Switch) Review

Indie platformers can be hit or miss. There are some great ones like Yooka-Laylee, Celeste, and A Hat in Time. However, there are also some less enjoyable platformers made by indie developers. Developers eXiin and Fishing Cactus’ Ary and the Secret of…
