Justin Nation's Reviews
Having played “interactive movie” style games since way back when CD-ROMs first allowed them to exist with the likes of classics like The 7th Guest and Phantasmagoria (among others) it has been interesting to see the genre progress...
While there have been quite a number of dungeon crawler RPGs on the Switch none of them has quite convinced me to start enjoying the genre too much...
With so much variety in the Switch eShop I firmly believe there's a place for everything and likely an audience that will likely enjoy it all, it's just tough when I hit a game that doesn't do it for me...
First, I’ll just say that the likes of Rockstar’s GTA series on the Switch I’m thrilled that Saints Row has come to the system to pick up the slack for gaming in that general style...
When it comes to budget platformers there's quite a lot to choose from already on Switch but now we have another, one that at least distinguishes itself by being a bit harder than most...
I'm always a big fan of things that are different and that challenge me in ways I didn't expect...
Even after simply making a rough draft debut in Mario Odyssey, it was obvious that Captain Toad would be a viable puzzle franchise, and his games have more than proven that out...
There's something to be said for some decent theming and presentation compensating for or even elevating somewhat lackluster play...
Since I was always just a "Nintendo guy", and never put my toe in the Sega pool, Panzer Dragoon was a game I always heard about as being highly revered but never checked out myself...
Since this is a touchscreen-only title I wasn't able to capture video myself but in general what the game offers is basic enough that the title's simple trailer conveys all you need to know...
Being only mildly familiar with the Vampire series, but having generally heard good things, I perked up when I heard about this...
While it's extremely reductive to use comparisons to other games to describe new ones since it quickly paints a picture it is convenient...
My first admission with this unusual game is that when I spend far too much time up-front waiting for a bunch of story to play out and allow me to really do anything of substance I tend to bore easily...
One of the great things about indie games is that they can sneak up on you and defy expectations...
While I’ve played many iterations of DOOM over the years going back to the original shareware the N64 incarnation of it was one that I’d missed out on...
I'm all for weird and wacky games, especially when you're getting a group of people together for some laughs and fun...
OK, so here we have an indie platform shooter with a reasonably good look, somewhat cute main character, and what seems like some promise out of the gate...
I'm always a fan of running into games that tackle a well-known genre mechanic and add a twist, something Factotum 90 does admirably...
When you think of a racing game, thoughts normally center on head-to-head contests between multiple contestants, but there are other styles and Overpass slots into one of those alternate categories...
Combat, on the other hand, is more of a mixed bag on the whole...
