Atelier Resleriana (Nintendo Switch) Review

The Atelier franchise has seen international success in recent years. Since the release of the Atelier Ryza games (known as the “Secret” trilogy), the franchise has branched out from a cult classic, niche experience to something more mainstream. As a fan of…

Donkey Kong Bananza (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

Donkey Kong Bananza is full of surprises around every turn, and encourages a style of open-level platforming that scratches every itch fans of the genre could desire. With a wonderful world full of diverse areas to explore, as well as gameplay that…

Hello Kitty Island Adventure (Nintendo Switch) Review

I’m going to make a very controversial statement with this review. If you told me that Sanrio would crack the code to making an actual competitor to Animal Crossing, I’d have told you that you were crazy. However, aside from Disney Dreamlight…

Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

The Like a Dragon franchise spans so many games at this point that it’s hard to suggest a place to start for new players. My preferred starting point, which is shared by many others online, seems to be Yakuza 0. The 2017 game is…

Mario Kart World (Switch 2) Review

Launch titles can make or break a console’s out-the-gate sales and impressions. Despite the Nintendo Switch’s massive success, the Japanese company knew that the successor to the home-hybrid console needed to launch with a heavy hitter. Why not go with the next…

Sugardew Island (Nintendo Switch) Review

The core appeal of games like Harvest Moon has persisted in countless farming and easy-going life sims for decades. Since the release of Stardew Valley, an entire new generation of gamers has fallen in love with the slower, more casual experience of these cozy…

Star Overdrive (Switch) Review

When warmer weather comes to my area, the bulk of great games and movies seem to arrive on our screens. While looking through all of the upcoming releases, there was one title that stuck out to me above the rest. That title…
