Keylocker (Nintendo Switch) Review

I have a love-hate relationship with action commands. I love games like Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series, but sometimes those timed action commands are an accessibility issue. I went into Moonana’s Keylocker with an open mind after playing Virgo…

Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse (Nintendo Switch) Review

Telltale Games acquired Sam & Max, a silly little duo of a noir dog and insane bunny rabbit, in 2004. Before this, LucasArts had adapted the game from a late-80s comic book series. While the characters central to the series weren’t household names, their…

The Star Named EOS (Nintendo Switch) Review

A video game’s ability to use a real-world medium for creativity and artistry as a key gameplay mechanic can be tricky to pull off. That said, photography has proved to be one such medium that translates well to a video game. In The…

Darkest Dungeon 2 (Nintendo Switch) Review

Style wins out in a lot of cases when it comes to video games. Fun gameplay is essential, but for games that really carve out their own world and encapsulate the player in a unique experience, other shortcomings are easier to overlook.…

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch) Review

Nintendo’s 2024 releases have been a real blast from the past. From Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, we’re getting the full nostalgia treatment for the late lifecycle Nintendo Switch. I’m fine with that, especially when old experiences are repackaged and…

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch) Review

All is right in the world. Okay, that’s a lie, the world is kind of a mess right now. However, my Nintendo Switch library is exactly as it should be. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the return of one of my…

Star Wars: Hunters (Switch) Review

A long time ago, in a Nintendo Direct far far away, Star Wars: Hunters was announced. Initially shown off in 2021 and slated for a 2022 release window, Star Wars: Hunters was one of those games that fans scratched their heads about…

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Switch) Review

One of my favorite RPG franchises of all time also happens to be a franchise most people don’t know about. Konami’s Suikoden franchise wove masterful storytelling with solid RPG mechanics. Now, many years later, Yoshitaka Murayama (the franchise creator) has moved on…

Freedom Planet 2 (Switch) Review

One of my favorite Indie platformers is 2014’s Freedom Planet. It was at the time (and still is, I think) the only Indie game to attempt to capture the magic of early Sonic The Hedgehog platformers and succeed. Now developer GalaxyTrail has…

Endless Ocean Luminous (Switch) Review

In 2008, the Wii was really picking up steam in the United States, and a lot of diverse titles were hitting the shelves for the console. One such game was a scuba diving adventure that served as the spiritual successor to the…
