Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 2D platformers come in all sorts of variety, but the one we're looking at today seems to be targeting a younger gamer than most. Coming to us complete with a cute, 2D storybook aesthetic, Farlands Journey is coming soon to both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version of the game today, and see if there's more to it than cute and colorful visuals. There doesn't seem to be much need for an intro in this one, so let's dive right in! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Every so often a game comes along for review where I'm not sure if even calling it a "game" is correct. I Want To Go To Mars falls exactly into that category, and it's a "game" (Don't worry, we'll get there soon!) that's coming soon to all major consoles. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today, but I'm positive that it'll reflect the experience one will have no matter where they end up playing it. This is going to be a quick one, so let's jump right into it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC It seems like I open every few reviews with the "roguelike games come out at a near constant pace these days..." opening, and this one quite nearly ended up that way. Dungeon Arsenal is a roguelike card game that recently released on the Nintendo Switch, following a previous release on Steam. Its simple gameplay sees you explore a Tower armed only with a deck of cards. We're going to be taking a look at that new Switch version today, and see if this game has what it takes to stand out in the already crowded roguelike genre. There's no need for further intro here, so let's dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Developed by Pathea Games (My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock), and published by PM Studios, Let's School is a school management game that recently released onto consoles following an earlier release on Steam. Unlike the Pathea's other famous titles, which fall into the cozy life sim genre, Let's School puts you in charge of running a struggling academy, and seeing to the education of dozens of students. Players are able to take on this challenging task on all major platforms, though we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's a lot to study up on here, so let's dive right in! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC I don't know how it is that I seem to always end up reviewing the precision platformers that come our way, but I guess I'm back with another one! Adding in physics-based gameplay into the mix, Jello is a game that recently released on the Nintendo Switch following a Steam release last year. We're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today, and see if this is a game that is frustratingly hard in all the right ways. Maybe also figure out how the game managed to get away with using the "Jello" name. Anyhow, there's no point dragging out the intro any more than that, let's get right into it! By Teepu  Players: 1
Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch In a world flooded with kinetic visual novels to choose from, it’s always challenging to decide which ones are worth your time. A tale of a town of ghosts trying to find their place and reason for still existing, ghostpia Season One explores a very interesting story that takes you down some interesting twists.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC I'm a huge fan of horror movies and I distinctly recall hearing of the release of The Bridge Curse back in 2020. For reasons I don't think I need to get into here, 2020 was a really strange year and I didn't watch the movie at the time. I probably would've forgotten all about it, but I was surprised to learn that it was receiving a video game adaptation titled The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation (Hereafter simply referred to as "The Bridge Curse".) by Taiwanese developer SoftStar (The same company behind the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Sword and Fairy series.), and it was being published on consoles by EastAsiaSoft. Said game came out last year, and there was even a sequel released just a few weeks ago, but this is a review for that first game of course. It ultimately tells a tale far different than the movie, but I guess we'll get more in that later on. It's currently available on every major platform, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's a lot of ground to cover in this one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC It's not very often that we get a chance to review an adventure game here at A-to-J, so I jumped at the opportunity when one popped up. Releasing way back in 2013 on Steam, The Night of The Rabbit is an adventure game in the style of LucasArts' Secret of Monkey Island. It has a children's fairy tale look and feel to it as well, but we'll get to that in just a bit. Even though it took nearly a decade to leave the PC, it recently found its way to the Nintendo Switch, and it's that version that we're going to be looking at today. There isn't much more to say about this one as far as intros go, so let's dive right in! By JT  Players: 1
Platforms: XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Parkitect: Deluxe Edition, the release of the game for consoles, adds in two DLCs to the base game and makes the price comparison to other games in the genre more easily digestible. While I don’t enjoy comparing other games to this one, you can get a good picture of it by thinking of Planet Coaster or Roller Coaster Tycoon. A lot more polish is needed for that comparison though, especially in terms of lost progress. I could not hold onto a save even if my life depended on it. Every time I would save, all progress would revert to day one. There was no saving to be had here, at least from my experience. Is there a good game here otherwise? Yes. Will there be a patch to fix this? There have been a few already to fix some bugs, so one that fixes saves could be rolling out one day. What about the other aspects of the game? Guess we must dive much deeper. Let's see what Parkitect brings to the table! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Games that emulate the formula put forth by The Legend of Zelda series aren't exactly rare, but it's not too often that one makes an attempt as obvious as Saga of The Moon Priestess. Released earlier this year on all major platforms, we're going to be taking a look at the game on the Nintendo Switch today. That's probably the most interesting place to examine Saga of The Moon Priestess on, as one can easily access most of the games that it's clearly inspired by on the console already. Seeing as we have a lot to go over, let's skip the intros and dive right in! |
