Justin Nation's Reviews
In the last generation I’ve been surprised to see the deck-building strategy genre not only move from the fringes into the mainstream on the back of titles like Slay the Spire or the more casual SteamWorld Quest, but also continue to find ways to crank up their associated degree of challenge...
This is a title that has me feeling a bit torn...
While there are plenty of twin-stick shooters and beat-em-ups on the system I can't say that there are many that work as a sort of hybrid of the two...
New and smart ideas on how to juice up all-to-familiar core gameplay are a mainstay of the indie gaming movement...
Puzzle games are a dime a dozen (or perhaps even more than that) on the Switch, so it's important to offer up something distinct to bubble up when people go hunting for some fun...
Harkening back to an earlier time, Dex is a side-scrolling cyberpunk RPG adventure that, at a minimum, feels refreshingly different on the system...
If you're looking for something with a slower pace and a story with some somber notes and rough spots a good murder mystery may be your jam...
This is one of those titles that screams being up my alley, featuring some relatively arcade-style shooting action and excitement...
Games coming over from the mobile space and intended to be played on tablets with a touchscreen are often a bit hard to evaluate...
As has been the case with several other recent mildly-interactive visual novel outings on the Switch, Jisei will probably appeal to a thin audience that is pulled in by the overall story, but most people will want to keep moving...
There's nothing wrong with a decent and clever puzzle game that gets your mental gears working and to Colloc's credit it is at least a little bit different than any other genre game I've played on Switch...
While it’s great to play games or watch movies cheering on the brave heroes who fight and persevere against horrible monstrosities, admit it: Given the chance it would be a ton of fun to spend some time on the other side of the equation...
I’m so pleased that Jackbox Games has decided to release my absolute favorite game of theirs as a stand-alone title now on Switch...
The third stand-alone title released by Jackbox Games outside of its Party Pack series (the first was Drawful, a while back, and the second was Quiplash), while Fibbage may not be my personal favorite party game series they've produced it's still easy to see why its popular all-around...
This is a title I originally got to try out at PAX and even after having the chance to play it more I'm still a bit torn on it...
While I wouldn't say that Crysis is at the absolute upper echelon of FPS titles it certainly has its adherents...
This is one of those titles that's hard to judge well...
While I have a great deal of nostalgia for the 8-bit era since I played a ton of games back in those days, going back can be a bit rough...
There's nothing wrong with a little weirdness and quirk and I've been very pleased that the Switch has delivered quite a bit in that vein over its lifespan...
Ooof, this one hits me right in the irritated for some reason...
