Sep 30, 2018

While there are improvements in the handheld gameplay, FIFA 19 never really fixes the problems that occurred in FIFA 18.

For a first attempt at porting a Football Manager game onto the Nintendo Switch, it has been relatively successful. It just lacks comfortable controls and a screen that works on the portability of the Switch. The streamlined gameplay is fantastic though and produces a complex football management experience that any football fan could quickly master

8.5 / 10.0 - Goetia
May 19, 2018

Goetia is a classic horror game. It's unnerving, skin-crawling, with a dash of eerie music that keeps your soul on edge. The puzzles are some of the most challenging in any point and click game, so this isn't a game for the casual gamer. Some minor bugs that can become a slight nuisance to the overall experience, but not enough to spoil the game.

8 / 10.0 - Mulaka
Feb 26, 2018

Mulaka achieves everything it intends to. While the puzzles are a little tedious, the complexity of the battles and the variety of tactics needed to defeat some foes make it a highly enjoyable game. The animation is cute and reminiscent of the Nintendo 64. There are a few bugs in the game but don't impact the gameplay too much.

6 / 10.0 - Lost Sphear
Feb 4, 2018

An average RPG missing a sense of exploration and flexibility to make it memorable. The battle system is a particular highlight, however, and there's definitely some good groundwork if there's to be another game in the series.

7 / 10.0 - Earth Atlantis
Oct 7, 2017

Earth Atlantis is a beautiful monochrome world that is just aching to be explored. Visually stunning, this unique side-scrolling shooter is incredibly challenging as the player faces a unique variety of enemies and bosses on their journey across an apocalyptic Earth.

7.5 / 10.0 - Little Nightmares
May 6, 2017

Psychologically scary as it plays on the fears from your childhood. Visually beautifully, wonderful use of music and sounds, with a clever message lurking within it. Gentle, but sometimes tricky puzzles, though the lack of variety of puzzles means gameplay doesn't remain challenging throughout the game. However, a beautifully crafted game which doesn't rely on thrills and gore to create horror.

The best Nintendo game of all time. It's beautiful, charming, mystifying and intense. Motion controls take some getting used to, but in time only enhance the gameplay. There's occasional lag in TV mode so it's recommended to play in Handheld mode for best performance.
