Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4 It's been a while since we've had the pleasure to look at a twin stick shooter that wasn't also a roguelike, but that changes now with the arrival of Mustache In Hell. Coming to consoles by way of QUByte Interactive, following an earlier release on Steam, it promises action-packed gameplay set literally in Hell. Hopefully that very unique setting doesn't bleed into the gameplay, or we might have quite the game on our hands. We won't know anything until we dive into the game though, so let's get on with it already. Get those mustaches ready!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Edge of Reality is a visual novel that is currently available on Steam, but coming soon to all major consoles. It's a rather small game, from an equally small development team, but has a few features that make it rather unique. It also has a story and setting that go against the typical anime-related tropes one usually sees in the genre. Seeing as this review is probably going to take longer to write than the game took to beat (more on that later), let's just skip the long intro and get right into it! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Jubilee is a hardcore 2D precision platformer that has some slight Metroidvania elements. It's coming to consoles soon by way of Red Art Games, after a previous release on Steam. Tough-as-nails platformers can really be hit or miss as it takes a lot of balancing to keep a game both challenging and fun. Does Jubilee pull off this difficult task? Well, let's get into the review and find out! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Konosuba: God's Blessing On This Wonderful World! Love For These Clothes of Desire! (From here on simply referred to as "Konosuba" or "Clothes of Desire") is a visual novel with some light dating sim elements. It originally released in Japan way back in 2020, and it's finally getting an official English-language release courtesy of PQube. As you probably already know, it's based on the isekai anime of the same name, though I am going to be jumping into it with only the barest of knowledge of the franchise itself. While games like this most often attract existing fans of the property they're based on, I think it'll be interesting to see how it appeals to someone who is totally new to everything it has to offer. Anyway, with all that out of the way, let's jump into the world of Konosuba, and see exactly how clothes of all things tie into it! By JT  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo, PC Developed by Blue Firefly Studio, UDO (an acronym for "Unidentified Drilling Object") is a short, but fun, down-scroller roguelike. With an oversized drill you dig your way into the depths, and uncover the mystery of what lies deep underground. There are 4 biomes, with a multitude of upgrades and skins, that give some depth to the game’s mechanics. Skill is always a key asset, and you'll be digging yourself up using your boost, or shooting yourself left or right to tackle and dodge both enemies and fire. More challenging than the game itself was writing this review, as the game is very short. Is UDO worth a try? Is it just another roguelike? Let’s dive into the depths of UDO and find out!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch God of Light is a puzzle game that originally saw success on mobile devices before receiving a full remaster a few years back for PC and XBox. That remastered version is now making its way to the Nintendo Switch, and we're going to be taking a look at it today. One might think that a mobile game, remastered or not, isn't worth examining at length, but perhaps God of Light will be the exception to that rule. Whatever the case may be, let's shine a light on what, if anything, makes God of Light stand out in a crowded genre. By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC The Street 10 is an odd walking simulator that recently released onto consoles following a previous release on Steam. It sees you walk along a specific Japanese street, and take in the scenery so to speak. It's a very short game, and you can beat it in well under ten minutes once you know what you're supposed to do. Or you can waste tens of minutes going in a continual loop. While time to beat may be a bit up in the air, what is sure is that my writing of this review of will probably take longer than it did for me to "beat" it, so let's get right into it.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC Ceiba is a biopunk visual novel that is now available for the Nintendo Switch following an earlier release on Steam. It's developed by Studio Wirion, and published by Valkyrie Initiative. It's not your standard visual novel though as it has a unique sci-fi setting, a (somewhat) alien species who make up the main cast, and a plot that's centered on plant-based technology. The latter point may sound a bit confusing out of context, but this is a biopunk story after all. We're going to be looking at the game and see if it's worth picking up or not, and while that's a somewhat obvious task, this is anything but a normal game. |
