Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

There’s nothing quite like the world of Final Fantasy VII. With the third and final entry in the remake trilogy on the way in 2027, Xbox and Nintendo gamers can now play the first two entries that were once Sony-exclusive. As a Switch…

Moonlight Peaks (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

Developer Little Chicken knows it isn’t launching the first farming life sim players have seen. Publisher XSEED understands this, too, having published a handful of games in this genre itself. The difference-maker, as I’ve written in the past about games like farming…

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (Switch 2) Review

I have always been a fan of Yoshi. Even though Nintendo tends to treat Yoshi games as “Kid-friendly” platformers rather than traditional Mario games, they have a cozy vibe I adore. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book carries that forward, with a cute…

The Rogue Prince of Persia (Switch 2) Review

I have been a fan of the Prince of Persia series for a long time. My experience is more closely linked to the 3D games, though Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of my favorite Metroidvanias ever. When The Rogue…

Pokémon Pokopia (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

After 36 hours and some change, the credits rolled on my journey with Pokémon Pokopia‘s main story. Immediately, I planned how I’d spend my next 36 hours in-game, tweaking and tinkering with the dream life sim that a lifelong Pokémon fan like…

Resident Evil Village Gold Edition (Switch 2) Review

Resident Evil is a staple in horror gaming, and few franchises have seen the highs and the lows of the series. Everyone has their favorite, and of course, the new remakes of a few of the earlier entries certainly make the beginning chapters…
