Justin Nation's Reviews
While I've heard of the series I've never seen Peaky Blinders, and in general it seems like a curious choice for a license since I know maybe only one or two people familiar with it...
OK, so there are a ton of roguelikes on Switch these days and they're across a broad swath of game types, whether you're into shooters, survival, or role-playing...
One unfortunate side effect of checking out so many multiplayer indie titles on the console is that a large portion of them honestly begin to blend together in a variety of ways, perhaps visually distinguishable in some fashion but sharing enough DNA that they instantly feel all too familiar...
Gleamlight is one of those titles that visually sucks you in pretty easily...
We’ve truly been blessed over the past 6 months or so with a strong run of generally bite-sized exploratory adventures that focus far more on the wonder of nature and discovery than the normal more action-oriented fare typically out there...
While many gamers enjoy blowing away enemies, racing through hairpin turns, or guiding their team to victory there’s a growing contingent of gamers who either prefer or enjoy more soothing experiences...
Where weird games are concerned I may be one of the subgenre’s biggest fans...
I’d consider Evergate one of those sneaky indies that has a look that gives one impression but whose level of challenge and action move in a very different direction...
Part of my love for indies is that the best of them dare to be different and then unapologetically deliver something new that challenges and defies your normal expectations...
While this statement may inspire some eye-rolling for some people out there as a life-long gamer I deeply appreciate attempts to expand inclusiveness in video games...
Granted, this review is getting into the weeds of my likely audience but since I'm a believer in the Switch indie library making for a big tent I've taken on what's essentially a baby version of a pet simulator like Nintendogs called, appropriately, My Baby...
Hey hey, I know there’s nothing quite as exciting as a great deal of a budget game so if that’s your bag you’ll want to get the scoop on Cocconoid...
Starting out with Linn was a bit of a challenge because based on its looks and other titles that I thought had a similar look I assumed it would be an active action puzzler with free control...
OK, so here we have yet another budget platformer... there are a ton of them...
While games are a great vehicle for departing from reality and enjoying an escape they’ve increasingly been used as a means to put players in sometimes uncomfortable situations in order to convey ideas and foster greater understanding...
Truth be told only recently have I been able to play deck-building games of any kind that I’ve found interesting...
OK, so yeah, it’s another local multiplayer game...
As a big fan of metal, rhythm games, and zombies this is a title that has been firmly on my radar since I first played it at PAX East 2 years ago...
This earlier sibling from the developer behind Graceful Explosion and Super Crush KO is a twin-stick shooter that certainly distinguishes itself from its competitors with its very specific visual style...
This is one of those titles that has me a bit torn...
