Smurfs Kart (Switch) Review

A great kart racer needs a few things to not instantly be compared to a generic Mario Kart clone. Firstly, it needs to have solid controls that make racing feel fun, not frustrating. Secondly, it’s crucial that the game features enough of…

Inner Ashes (Switch) Review

Walking Simulators can be hit-or-miss. Sometimes mechanical problems can cause a strong narrative to be bogged down or even missed entirely. In the case of Inner Ashes, a profound story is present, but a few issues keep it from being a great…

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut (Switch) Review

There’s a fun challenge to games that feature a variety of endings a player can earn. The key for those motivated by more than simply reaching completionist status is the fun factor of the game. XSEED is a favorite developer of mine,…

Noob – The Factionless (Switch) Review

Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook (Switch) Review

I like weird games as much as the next person. Sadly, some games look fun and weird on paper but don’t have much substance in the final product. Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook has the bare bones of a delicious recipe but…

Trinity Trigger (Switch) Review

I love a good nostalgic JRPG, as it can always remind me of simpler times. Trinity Trigger seeks to recapture the magic of those classic 90s gems and takes heavy inspiration from the Secret of Mana series. The game is developed by…
