Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC There's been a recent rush of nostalgia for mid-90s PlayStation era graphics and games, and I'm totally here for it. This nostalgia extends not only to the rough-around-the-edges look of early 3D graphics, but also to gameplay mechanics that might seem archaic to modern gamers. Specifically there's been an influx in retro-themed survival horror titles that seek to capture the magic of the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill games. Enter Plastomorphosis, a game that recently dropped onto consoles, following an earlier release on Steam. We're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch, and see if this game is worth playing in today's gaming landscape. There's a lot to discuss in this one, so let's ditch the intro and dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch Roguelikes are quite possibly one of the most crowded genres in video games these days, but have you ever heard of a pachinko-themed roguelike? Well, that's exactly what developer Red Nexus Games claims to deliver in Peglin. Peglin is a roguelike game that sees you launch balls to complete turn-based RPG combat, and it recently arrived on the Nintendo Switch. We're going to be taking a look at that release today, and maybe even discuss the game's origins as well later on in the review. There's a lot going on in this one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch As their name implies Flynn's Arcade has published several titles that are modern takes on old arcade classics. Today's game is exactly that, and mixes up the maze chase formula into something new and unique. Cash Cow DX is coming soon to the Nintendo Switch, following an earlier release on PC. We're going to run this game through its paces, and hopefully see if this it's one that you're going to want to sink your teeth into. Let's skip the intros and dive right in! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Retro-inspired horror games, especially those featuring visuals reminiscent of the early 3D era, have been taking over the scene lately, and we're going to be looking at a new one today. Coming to just about all major platforms by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft is A Night on the Farm, a first-person horror experience that defies standard genre labeling. Though it's out on just about everything, we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version here. This is going to be a weird one, so let's dive right in! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 I've made it a point to review plenty of those games from time to time here at A-to-J, as you never really know when one is going to surprise you. For those that don't know what I'm referring to, I mean the ecchi (Read: Hentai) titles that seem to be sneaking onto consoles in ever increasing numbers these days. Today we're going to be looking at Moe Waifu H Genius, a game that's out now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today, but I'm sure it'll be an accurate representation of all the versions. Let's not waste any more time with intros, it's time to dive in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: PC The Date A Live series is one of those franchises that has far more content available in Japan than the US. Having begun as a light novel series in 2011, it eventually grew to include an anime series, and several video games. I am a bit unsure about the complete Date A Live video game timeline, but I do know that 2015's Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation was the first game to get an English-language release back in 2019. It's been quite a while since then, and we now have a new game to check out. Originally releasing all the way back in 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Date A Live: Ren Dystopia (Which I'm simply going to refer to as "Ren Dystopia" from now on.) recently found its way onto Steam by way of Idea Factory International. Not only is this one of the few English-language releases available, it's going to be my entry into the series as a whole. Completely green or not, I'm going to give this one an honest go, and maybe see what all the hype is about. This is going to be a long one, so let's dive in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Atari VCS, PC There have been a lot of Atari reboots in recent years, some better than others, and today we're going to be looking at yet another. This isn't a game from the Recharged series though, it's something totally new and different. Yars Rising is a Metroidvania game developed by WayForward, that's now available on all major platforms. How it ties into the greater Yar's universe, or Atari itself in general, is something we're going to look at in this review. Speaking of which, we're going to be examining the Nintendo Switch version here, but I'm sure it'll be a representation of what one can expect from the other versions as well. There's a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch I'm no stranger to precision platforming games, having played several recently for A-to-J alone. They all usually have some quirk to them that makes them unique, and Tamagoneko is no different. Besides throwing in all sorts of platforming challenges into the mix, it also features plenty of cute cat imagery that is sure to draw people in. Having released on Steam last year, it's set to drop onto the Nintendo Switch soon by way of publisher RAWRLAB Games. We're going to be taking a look at that Switch release today, and see if it's as inviting as its visuals imply. Let's dive right in! |
