Review: Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy

Author: Jaxson Tapp
Categories: Switch, Reviews

When I was growing up in the ‘90s, I was part of a pretty Nintendo-centric family. I grew up on the SNES, N64, and the Game Boy, but my nextdoor neighbor’s family had a PlayStation. We’d gather in his basement frequently and play two games: Tekken 3 and Crash Bandicoot….

Categories: Reviews, Switch

Even if how we achieve this varies, everyone who plays games is out to experience and lose themselves in something different — something special. Maybe it’s the story of the world that manages to seal the deal, but sometimes the gameplay and the aesthetic itself are just that good that…

Author: Tom Brown
Categories: Reviews, Switch

Even though practically every RPG out there promises an epic journey of exploration and discovery, very few of them accurately capture that feeling of uncovering a whole new world. With Ys VIII, however, developer Falcom has aimed to put that experience at the core of the game, and it’s pretty…

Review: Hollow Knight on Nintendo Switch

Categories: Reviews, Switch

Some games define a generation. Others, an entire genre. And if that bit of dramatism doesn’t foreshadow just how absurdly good Hollow Knight is, I don’t know what will. Surprise-released during E3 to the shock of many, Team Cherry’s derelict dungeon-diver is a Metroidvania for the ages; one that stands…

With all the hubbub surrounding E3 2018, it was very easy to let Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido slip through the cracks. The game was revealed at E3 in 2017, and it didn’t get much coverage after that. But, after completing Sushi Striker’s surprisingly meaty campaign, I can say…

When it comes to fighting games, I’ve always been a Capcom fan, or more specifically a Street Fighter fan.

Review: Happy Birthdays

Categories: Switch, Reviews

Video games are almost always about goals. Rescue the princess, wipe out a parasitic alien lifeform, defeat an ancient primeval beast that’s laid waste to the kingdom… Not every game’s goals are dramatic either — just look at Harvest Moon, or its modern Story of Seasons incarnations, where you build…
