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…

Review: Katamari Damacy REROLL

Categories: Reviews, Switch

Katamari Damacy is a franchise known for its legacy of weird gameplay, weirder characters, and one of the weirdest plots in video game history. For many, it’s a guilty pleasure; a cult classic that is unmatched in its unabashed uniqueness. For others (including myself) it’s simply a classic: a game…

No game can capture the attention of Nintendo fans quite like Smash. Earlier this year when all our eyes lit up like Inkling’s at the prospect of this massive crossover of games we had no idea what to expect, and now that December 7th has finally arrived, those flaming Smash…

Review: Guacemelee! 2 for Switch

Categories: Reviews, Switch

When it comes to any sequel, there is the inevitable question of just how much should be changed or kept from the original title. Change too much, and you run the risk of losing what made the original so great; change too little, and you’ll make the player wonder why…
