Justin Nation's Reviews
With as many puzzle platformers as I’ve seen on the Switch it’s always cool to run across one that does things a bit differently, and there’s no doubt that Super Magbot manages that...
Oh my do these retro reduxes give me mixed feelings...
While the games were delayed by the global pandemic, now that the summer games are coming (well, perhaps not given the situation in Japan, but stick with me) there must be an inevitable video game form of the events...
When you’ve played enough indie titles over time it’s hard not to get a bit cynical when you see certain elements in games...
This is a game all about the varied and unusual stories it has to tell about the demise of various characters you encounter
If you're a fan of visual novels and vampires, but not necessarily of being given choices to make, Cross the Moon may pull you in...
Out of the gate, while perhaps holding me back from the action a tad too long, I'll at least give Metal Unit credit for going all in on trying to get its story going...
If you've followed my reviews for any particular amount of time you'll know that I don't tend to be much of a fan of linear visual novels, even when they may tell a reasonably good story...

Having played through the full campaign of Strange Brigade with my daughter on PC, and having a terrific time with it, I was overjoyed to see this announced for Switch...

While the original Pokemon Snap wasn't particularly well executed, the idea it brought to the table was at least a novel one...
Throwback budget action platformers are pretty well a dime a dozen on Switch, and of relatively uniform decent quality, so clearly differentiating yourself in the space is a challenge...
As a fan of Wave Race, the Tony Hawk series, and multiplayer shooting, in theory all of the building blocks going into Wave Break should make it a sort of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of a hybrid game for me...
Having been a fan of the Ninja Gaiden series in its vintage incarnations I'd always heard good things about the modern series but hadn't ever had the pleasure...
It has been interesting to watch how the various players in the puzzle game making space have differentiated themselves...
It’s weird how at times in certain genres when it rains, it pours, and exploration-based discovery titles are currently out in force...
The point-and-click adventure has been around since roughly forever and the sort of renaissance the genre has enjoyed over the past few years, care of indie developers, has thoroughly proven it can still have legs...
As a classic arcade shooting fan the Metal Slug series has always had a place in my heart for its intensity, variety, and explosive fun...
