Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PC Adventure games and visual novels are genres that have a lot of crossover when it comes down to gameplay, and today we'll be looking at a game that mixes those two gameplay concepts a bit more than most others. The Mildew Children is a dark fantasy visual novel that also features some adventure game-style gameplay, as well as quick-time events. It's developed by The Glowing Stones, published by Valkyrie Initiative, and it recently arrived on the XBox and Nintendo Switch following an earlier PC release. We have a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right into it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC There aren't very many games that leave me at a loss for words when it comes time to describe them, but that's exactly the challenge I'm facing right now. Epic Dumpster Bear 1.5 DX: Dumpster Fire Rebirth is an action platformer that arguably features more jokes and silliness over good gameplay, but it does it in a way that intrigued me enough to play it to completion. It's out now on the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC, and we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today. Do the jokes land or do they fall flat? Can this bear save Canada? Is this a good game? What do dumpsters have to do with all? Hopefully we'll answer all those questions and more in this review. Let's dive into it! By JT  Players: 1
Platform: PC After my original review of the pre-beta version (Which can be found HERE.), it’s safe to say that getting a full release feels not so far away at this point. The Devil Within: Satgat fixed some notable grievances I had with the demo, continued from where it left off, unlocked some more features and skills, and added more weapons and enemies. There was already a great game underneath it all, and there's always further potential to unlock. Now, let’s add a little more icing on this cake and take a quick look its Early Access release.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Limited Run Games and Konami have a new two-game package out now for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, and it's probably one that most people were not expecting to see. Originally released back in 1992/93, the Felix the Cat games are 8-Bit platformers that were originally developed by Hudson Soft. This collection packages the NES, Game Boy, and previously unreleased Famicom versions into one neat package, and we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today. There are three games to discuss in this review, so let's just get right into it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC Risky Chronicles and the Curse of Destiny is an action platformer that's inspired by similar games from the '90s, and maybe by a certain whip-wielding archeologist you may have seen in movies. It's out now on the Nintendo Switch and PC, and we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today. There's lots to explore, so let's get right into it! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Have you ever wanted to play doctor and save the lives of patients afflicted with all sorts of real-life illnesses? What about play as Death itself and take out humanity one person at a time? Well, then Bio Inc. Redemption is the game for you! While I'm not familiar with the original Bio Inc. release, Redemption is apparently a remake of a game that came out in 2017. This all-new version is out now on all major platforms, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's a lot of patients in the queue already, so let's get right into it! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Atari VCS, PC Atari has really been on top of things when it comes to releasing new reimaginings of their classic titles. Pong, Berzerk, and Gravitar all got remake treatment recently, and now it's time for Lunar Lander to take the spotlight! Lunar Lander Beyond is a totally modern take on the classic arcade game, and it's out now on just about every platform imaginable. We're going to be taking a look at the version available on the Nintendo Switch, but I'm sure that everything I'm about to say will apply to all other versions. While I've enjoyed many of the recent Atari releases, I can't help but wonder if that streak will continue here. There's only one way to find out! It's time to dive in! By Teepu  Players: 1
Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Gladiator’s Arena is a roguelite top-down shooter. This is a genre that is flooded with games lately, so the question is: does Gladiator’s Arena stand out enough to make it worth playing? By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC A few months back I reviewed the first Retro Mystery Club game that released on the Nintendo Switch and PC, and I wondered at the time if we'd be getting the other two games in the series. (You can check out that review HERE.) Today, I am pleased to announce that its sequel, Retro Mystery Club Vol. 2: The Beppu Case, is out now on those same two platforms. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version now, and see if the wait was worth it. We have quite the game to dissect here, so let's dive right in! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 The farming sim genre is quite crowded these days thanks in part to titles like Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons. It's rare that you see a game have a unique twist on the tried and true formula, but Farm For Your Life actually manages to do the unthinkable. What does it bring to the table you ask? Zombies! This quirky little sim released a while back on all major consoles, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's a lot of work to get done, so let's skip the intro and get straight to the farming! Time to dive in! |
