Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) The word "epic" is often thrown around when it comes to video games, and there are several ways for a game to prove itself worthy of that term. That may be giving things away just a little bit, but the game we're going to be looking at today definitely takes a stab at earning that title. The Tale of Bistun is a story-driven action adventure game that recently released on the PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. We're going to be taking a look at it today on the Switch, though I'm sure it'll reflect the experience on all the platforms. There's a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 It feels like I've played about a dozen anomaly games lately, and that trend continues today. This review will be focusing on Prison Loop, a prison-themed anomaly game that is coming soon to consoles by way of publisher Sometimes You. It'll be dropping on just about every major platform, and we're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch. There really isn't a need for further intro, so let's get straight to the review. By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) There are a lot of simulator games on the market these days, and I've had some mixed experiences with them over the years. Some can be broken messes full of store-bought assets, and others are pure fun despite their limitations. Coming to us by way of publisher Nostra Games, Trading Card Shop Simulator recently dropped onto the Nintendo Switch following an earlier Steam release, and we're going to see where it falls on the spectrum. Running a card shop is probably going to be a lot of work, so let's just dive right in already! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) It's Valentine's Day, and I have just the game for you all! Mizuchi is a yuri themed visual novel that originally released back in 2020 on Steam. It was brought to fruition via a successful Kickstarter, and developer Aikasa Collective recently completed another Kickstarter for a new game. Funding details aside, Mizuchi is now making the move to consoles. It's currently available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. We're going to be taking a look at it on the Switch, and seeing if it was worth the long wait. We have a lot to cover in this one, so let's get right to the review! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Meta Quest I'm no stranger to Early Access releases, but I don't think I've ever seen one outside of Steam. Dark Trip is a VR game that's available now on the Meta Store, but it’s currently in that aforementioned state of Early Access. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on when its full release will be coming, but you can grab it right now if you so desire. Is that something you desire? Hopefully that's what we'll find out today in this early look at the game! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: PC (Steam) It's been a while since I reviewed a retro-styled RPG, and I'm very excited to break the drought with the game we're going to be looking at today. Starlight Legacy comes to us by way of developer Decafesoft, and publisher EastAsiaSoft. It's actually a game that I've been following on and off for about a year now, and I'm glad to see it get a full release. It's only available on PC (via Steam) at the time of this writing, but maybe it'll end up on other platforms in the future. As you might be able to tell from some of the screenshots, this is an RPG styled after the 16-bit classics of the 90s. It's an aesthetic I hold near and dear to my heart, and I have a lot to say about this game. That's enough for an intro, let's just get into the review already. By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Android, iOS We've been reviewing a lot of smaller, indie-released puzzle games recently, and I'm all for ones that break the mold. Polimines Deluxe is a game that mixes together elements of Minesweeper and nonograms (AKA "Picross") into its gameplay, and that's an idea that's so crazy it might just work. It recently released on just about every platform imaginable, and we're going to be taking a look at it today on the Nintendo Switch. There really isn't a need for any further intro, so let's dive right in! By JT  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) Developed by Vixa Games, Edge of Sanity is a survival horror game sprinkled with a bit of base building elements for good measure. It may not be the most standout title out there, but from the library of games Vixa Games has developed so far, Edge of Sanity feels like a step in the right direction. Employing some good atmosphere and mixing it with the various types of monsters on screen makes the game less of a pain, and more of a challenge. The good and bad tropes can be easily spotted, the monsters can suddenly appear or disappear, and the main story’s focus can be confusing until the end. Does that make for a more compelling plot, or just a confusing one? Also, when I think of how this game handles missions, I think of multiple point-and-click mobile games. I don’t think that was intended, but neither was what I felt diving into this game. Here we are though, about to dive into Edge of Sanity. |
