A couple years ago I fell in love with a game called Devour. It was a multiplayer horror game that saw all players play on the same team. Since then I've tried out several other similar titles, and that's lead me to the game that we're looking at today. The Backrooms: Survival is a retro-themed horror game that's inspired by the internet... trend (?) known as "The Backrooms". It's out now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC. We're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch today, and see if this one is worth adding to your rotation. That's enough intro I guess, time to jump into The Backrooms!

I'm a huge fan of visual novels, and Studio Elan has provided some of my favorites in the genre. I've only ever played through two of their releases (Highway Blossoms and Heart of the Woods), but they've stuck with me over the years. Their 2022 release, Please Be Happy, has been on my radar for quite a while, and I finally got a chance to look at it thanks to its new console release. It's available now on all major consoles by way of publisher Sometimes You, and we're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch. This is going to be a long one, so let's just get right to the review!

I've been a fan of the Sword and Fairy series for many years now, and I always look forward to a game getting an English-language release. Sword and Fairy Inn 2 is a spin-off, sim management title that originally released back in 2022 on PC, and 2023 on consoles. Its console release came to us by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft, and we're going to be taking a look at it today on the Nintendo Switch, though it's also available on all major consoles. That's enough intro I think, let's dive in!

I'm a sucker for retro-style modern arcade games, and publisher Flynn's Arcade recently sent over their latest one for us to check out. Developed by Catcade Games, Freddy Farmer is a single-screen modern take on the formula laid out by games like Donkey Kong. It's far more complicated than that of course, but we'll get there in just a bit. It's set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch very soon, and we of course are reviewing it here today. There really isn't a need for further intro, so let's dive right in!

I got into the Vampire Survivors really late, and only started playing around Christmas of last year. Just like countless gamers before me, I found myself addicted to the gameplay loop, and sought out other games like it. That search has brought me to Beef Cat Ultra, a survivors-like game that's out now on just about every major platform. We're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch here, though I'm sure it's the same across all of its versions. There's really no need for further intro, so let's just get to the review!

Usually when we hear about a new hero shooter coming out, we roll our eyes and ignore it. Some may play it just out of curiosity and will quickly move on. It has been a consistent issue since Overwatch first popularized the genre. Many expected the same out of Marvel Rivals, yet they managed to surprise all of us.

A Totally Different Type of Isekai Adventure: A Welcome to a Sexy Open World Review

The drought of A-to-J reviewing eroge titles has seemingly come to an end, as we're going to be looking at another recent release by our friends at MangaGamer. Welcome to a Sexy Open World is an 18+, isekai-themed visual novel that is available on PC via Steam and MangaGamer's site. We're going to be taking a deep dive into the game today, and see what exactly makes it tick. Is this an eroge worth your time? What kind of heroines does it offer? Do its sex scenes lean towards the vanilla? Hopefully we'll answer those questions and more within this review! Also, even though the game features plenty of 18+ scenes, there will be none of them featured here. You'll have to play the game yourself to see those!

Game Review: Moe Waifu H Fantasy

We are once again gathered together to take a look at one of those games. Moe Waifu H Fantasy is the latest title in the Moe Waifu H series, and it's now available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The Nintendo Switch version is only available from the Japanese eShop, but I'm willing to bet that most Switch owners know how to get around that hurdle if they really want a particular game. Difficulties in picking it up aside, it's the Switch version that we're going to be taking a look at today, though I'm sure that they all play the same. There really isn't a need for further intro, so let's get right to the review!
