Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC I've been a fan of visual novels for years now, and I always love to see games from long-running franchises finally get an official English-language release. SINce Memories: Off The Starry Sky originally released on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 back in 2021, and is a spin-off of the long-running Memories Off series. It comes to us now via publisher PQube, who also added PC into the available formats. We're going to be looking at the Nintendo Switch version today, and see if this game was worth the long wait. There's lots to go over in this one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 About a month ago I reviewed a game called Moe Waifu H Genius. (A review you can find HERE!) It was a simple memory game that had a few lewd anime pictures attached to its gameplay, and I mentioned at the end of the review that there were other games in the series coming soon. That time is now, and I now introduce you to Enter Moe Waifu H - BlockBlast, a game out now on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft. We're going to be looking at it on the Nintendo Switch, and I should mention now that it is actually only available on the Switch via the Japanese eShop. Switch owners probably know how to get around such restrictions, though potential players might want to check it out on the PlayStation consoles instead if you don't want any headaches. Anyhow, let's get into it! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: PC I've been a huge fan of the adventure game genre ever since my days playing the NES, and that love grew from a trio of games that are commonly referred to as the MacVenture series today. Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited kicked off my love for the genre, and I played just about every re-release and sequel that came out over the years. Imagine my surprise when I learned that a Kickstarter for a new Shadowgate game was released, and it was successfully funded in a matter of hours! Beyond Shadowgate is the result of that Kickstarter, and it's out now on PC via Steam. It goes without saying that I had to get my hands on the game, and we're going to see if the long wait was worth it. I have quite a lot to say about this one, so let's get into it right away!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch It's October, which means it is spooky season! Naturally, I had to try and make sure a review of some kind of spooky game was available. What better choice than Luigi’s Mansion 3? I played the original back at GameCube launch, then played the sequel and the remake last year. It was about time I got through the most recent entry, so let us take a dive into it together. By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: PC I've reviewed plenty of roguelikes recently, to the point where it takes a lot for one to draw my attention anymore. Enter Realm of Ink. Realm of Ink has an art style that's intrigued me ever since I first learned about its development over a year ago. I've kept an eye on it for months, and it's now out on Steam via Early Access. Seeing as it's still in active development, this isn't going to be a review in the proper sense. Instead we're going to examine the game as it currently exists, and see if it's worth picking up in spite of it being unfinished at the time of this writing. We have a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 5, PC Arriving just in time for the spooky month, Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open is a horror-themed adventure game that's steeped in Malaysian cultures and traditions. Not only that, but it has quite the striking visual look, and maybe has more lying just beneath the surface. Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open (Which I'm going to simply refer to as "Paper Ghost Stories" from now on.) comes to us by way of developer Cellar Vault Games, and publisher Chorus Worldwide Games. It's out now on just about every current platform, and we're going to be looking at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's going to be a lot to cover here, so let's cut the intros a bit short and dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: PC A few months ago I reviewed two visual novels from developer Aleksey Izimov. They were the games Stolen Memories and Debauched Memories (Whose reviews can be found HERE and HERE respectively!), and I have to admit that I thought that their next game was going to be another title in that same series. It turns out that I was wrong, and instead we got a visual novel with a unique sci-fi setting and plot. Cain X Nica is set to drop onto Steam November 14, and I was lucky enough to take a look at it before it launches. Is this game a worthy follow-up to the Memories series? Is it a visual novel worth playing in general? Does this review count as Early Access? Hopefully we'll answer all those questions and more in this review. Let's dive in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC I've looked at a lot of Metroidvanias recently, but we have quite the unique one today. Mars 2120 is developed by QUByte Interactive, a company whose I'm more familiar with as far as publishing goes. I'm not really sure what sort of games they develop on their own, but I guess I'm going to find out today. Mars 2120 is out on all major platforms, and we're going to be looking at it on the Nintendo Switch. There's going to be a lot to cover here, so I guess we'll just cut the intros a bit short. Time to dive in! |
