Justin Nation's Reviews
Ahh, the classic run and gun… it’s a timeless arcade-style staple that has been around forever...
While I was excited to see a retro racer in the vein of classics like Super Sprint and its ilk coming to Switch, I knew it could be tricky...
OK, so let's get down to the case of mobile game conversions on the Switch...
While movies and TV shows tend to make the idea of being a cop seem to be packed with danger and excitement, I have no doubt that the vast majority of time spent on the job is filled with some degree of tedium getting from Point A to Point B or filling out paperwork...
Whether or not my reaction to Edge of Eternity is a bit clouded by playing another very stylish RPG around the same time or not I can't say, but despite the obvious efforts put in to make Edge of Eternity impressive more often than not I found it fell flat for me...
If you’re an old-school arcade shooter fan the Nintendo Switch was already bordering on a dream console...
I’ve got to admit, there are games that I review that I don’t really get, but sometimes they can still make quite an impression on me… though maybe not always with the hook that would grab other people...
I'm not sure that in any other generation before now I've ever seen a greater number of or variety in tactical strategy games...

I'm always game to try out experiences in games that look a bit new, and as the title should imply, Shipwreck Escape isn't quite like anything else out there...

In terms of the crazy and chaotic musou genre I'm still getting up to speed, but I'll admit that when the action gets into a groove I tend to find it to be a pretty good time...
Retro games looking to take on the rough look and feel of classics like Castlevania are always going to face a bit of an uphill battle...
While I'm thrilled that the classic point-and-click adventure has made a roaring comeback in this generation, in particular the implementation of controls when you're not making use of a mouse has stood out as a visible challenge for developers...
One of the subgenres of games that has been extremely well-represented on the Switch has been story-driven games, and these have come in all sorts of forms and share their narratives in a variety of ways...
With the general lack of sports games in the indie space on the Switch you can bet any new titles making an appearance will get an extra look...
There’s no doubt that for many the 16-bit era was where JRPGs really exploded into the mainstream, so titles that bring back and celebrate that style are pretty welcome to see on the Switch after a slow-ish start for the genre...
With a colorful and cute look, some pretty solid level design, and a generally approachable level of challenge, Grapple Dog has quite a bit going for it...
Among the Atari retro reduxes I’ll admit that Breakout was one of the titles I was most excited to see enhanced...
