Kirby’s Epic Yarn might be the cutest game ever made. When it was revealed and released on Wii nearly ten years ago, hearts everywhere melted at the sights and sounds of a game where danger was low and charm was high. It may not have been the most “Kirby” game…

Review: Baba is You on Switch

Author: Ricky Berg
Categories: Switch, Reviews

Lately, ‘puzzle game’ has meant falling blocks, what with the likes of Tetris, Puyo Puyo, and Lumines populating the Switch. For others it’s something more like the Layton games, where a gentleman leaves none undone. All of these have lit up my neurons one way or another — but now…

Review: ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove!

Categories: Switch, Reviews

Back in the early ‘90s ToeJam & Earl made waves on the Sega Genesis. Releasing a dungeon-crawling roguelike on console was practically unheard of at the time, let alone one oozing with such style, charm, and raw attitude. There was even a point in time where ToeJam & Earl were…

These days, I very rarely play games in handheld mode. I hold nothing against the idea of it, but if I can play a game on the big screen, I will, and the Nintendo Switch is brilliant for allowing the option with practically every game on the platform. There’s one…

Review: Etrian Odyssey Nexus

Categories: 3DS, Reviews

When I was given the review code for Etrian Odyssey Nexus, I walked over to the corner of my room where my 3DS lay. I’d barely touched it in the past year. A small layer of dust had settled on its top. Part of the casing was beginning to wear…

Nintendo’s been catering to fans of tactics pretty generously over the last few years. Fire Emblem on 3DS, Fire Emblem on mobile, soon-to-be Fire Emblem on Switch — you can’t really complain. That is, unless you remember their other turn and grid-based strategy game. Back on the GBA and DS,…

Review: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes

Author: Ricky Berg
Categories: Reviews, Switch

Back on the Wii one of my favorite pickups was No More Heroes. Putting you in control of Travis Touchdown, an up and coming beam katana assassin climbing the ranks of killers, it was a strange game where you spent time dumpster diving and mowing lawns to raise up some…

Review: YIIK: A Postmodern RPG

Categories: Switch, Reviews

The most upsetting kind of game is not one that’s catastrophically awful, or aggressively mediocre, but rather one that should by the sum of its parts be an unmitigated wonder, only to fall short of its own promises due to flaws of its own making. A game that’s truly horrible…
