Platforms: Nintendo Switch Originally releasing in the tail end of 2023, Dungeons 4 recently dropped onto the Nintendo Switch in the form of Dungeons 4: Nintendo Switch Edition. This port adds in a lot of content made available over the past year to the PC version, and some content exclusive to the Switch itself. We're going to be taking a look at the game now, and see if the year it took to make the move was worth the wait. There's going to be a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) We're going three for three at this point, as today we're going to be looking at yet another puzzle game from indie publisher Afil Games. This time around the game is Mimi The Cat: Mimi's Scratcher, a game that I believe is part of a series of cat-themed puzzle games. It's out now on just about every major platform, and we're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch today. I think we all know what we're getting into here, so let's just get to the review already. By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) Seeing as we have a bit of down time here at A-to-J, we figured now was as time as any to take a look at some smaller indie titles that may have slipped past us this year. We recently took a look at a puzzle game called HoneyLand, and today we're going to be looking at another tile put out from the same publisher. Storyblocks: The King (Which I'm simply going to refer to as "Storyblocks" from now on.) is also a puzzle game, but this one has a twist that we'll get to in just a bit. It's out now on PC, Nintendo Switch, and both PlayStation consoles, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's no real need for more intro here, so let's get right to the review. By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) From time to time we like to look at smaller indie releases here at A-to-J, and we have a particular soft spot for puzzle games. HoneyLand fits that mold perfectly. Out now on most major platform, we're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch today. There isn't a whole lot to the game, so this review will probably wrap itself up rather quickly. By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Meta VR, PSVR, Steam VR We don't review a lot of VR games here at A-to-J, but they tend to be very unique when we do. Last Labyrinth is a horror-themed puzzle game that released on several VR platforms back in 2019, and we're going to be looking at it on the Meta Quest today. This may not be the timeliest of reviews, but seeing as VR games can be rather evergreen, and there aren't exactly tons of new releases dropping every week for them, we figured that checking this one out now isn't all that strange after all. Anyway, I guess we don't need long intros here, let's just dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch I've reviewed several retro-themed arcade games recently from awesome publishers like Flynn's Arcade and Rawrlab Games, and I have yet another one today. Coming to us by way of developer Slain Mascot, and the aforementioned Flynn's Arcade, is Super Spy Raccoon. Super Spy Raccoon is an arcade-style game that focuses on stealth rather than action. It saw its first release on Steam last year, but it's set to drop onto the Nintendo Switch in a few days. Seeing as I've had a lot of fun with other releases from Flynn's Arcade (Check out my Cash Cow DX review HERE for another great one!), I went into this one with high expectations. Were those expectations justified? Let's dive in and find out! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch (EU eShop Only) It's not often that I get to review point-and-click style adventure games on the Nintendo Switch, and I have quite the interesting one for you all today. Jerry Anker and the Quest to Get Love is a game that recently released on the Nintendo Switch EU eShop by way of developer Ktulhu Solutions, and publisher Sometimes You. We'll get more into its release history in just a bit, but we're going to be looking at it here today, and see if it's worth my initial excitement of getting to play a game of this genre on a console. We're also hopefully going to see if it's a good game in general as well, but I'm getting ahead of myself There's a lot to go over in this one, so let's dive in! By Manuel  Players: 1-2
Platforms: Nintendo Switch I'm a big fan of small quirky indie titles, and I knew I had to play Luna-3X once I heard about it. Luna-3X is the latest game from Japanese developer Pygmy Studio, who were the team behind 2014's La-Mulana EX. While La-Mulana EX was an action platformer, Luna-3X is a rhythm action game that also carries with it a very cute aesthetic. It recently released on the Switch eShop in the US, following a Japanese release earlier this year, and we're going to take a look at it today. There's really no need for further intro, so let's dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch Games based on popular anime franchises have always been popular, but my favorites are the ones that mix in genres that feel relevant to the source material. Too often developers go the simple route of visual novels, but I want more gameplay. From RPGs to metroidvanias to resource management sims, I love it when licensed games try something that feels different. Goblin Slayer -Another Adventurer- Nightmare Feast (Which I'm going to refer to as simply "Nightmare Feast" from now on.) falls into that category, as it's a strategy RPG that takes place within the popular Goblin Slayer franchise. It saw a Japanese release on the Nintendo Switch earlier this year, and it's out now in the US by way of publisher Red Art Games. I'm admittedly new to the series, but I do enjoy these types of games and wanted to try it out as soon as I learned of it. This is going to be a long one, so let's dive right in! By Teepu  Players: 1
Platform: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam & Epic Games Store) When one hears the name Sonic the Hedgehog, one usually thinks of mediocre games, edgy attitudes, and lots of speed. That is not too far off the mark for a franchise that has only hit a few highs during its lifetime. Do not get me wrong, I find enjoyment in most of the games, but many of them are also poorly made. Sonic X Shadow Generations promises to change the pattern (Sonic Frontiers recently already helped in that regard), but did it keep that promise? |
