Justin Nation's Reviews
Absolutely inspired by the 8 and 16-bit eras and the likes of the classic Castlevania series, Cathedral should be quite good at scratching the old school Metroidvania itch for genre fans...
Perhaps it's me, and I'm just an impatient gamer, but this is one of those titles that simply takes too long to get off the ground and even when it did the story threads weren't enough to justify too much generic gameplay...
While there has been a whole series of conversions of the fighting games from the Neo Geo Pocket, and many have been decent, until this point none of them quite felt worthy of more broad support than folks looking for some nostalgia...
While arcade-style shooters don't necessarily need to have a great deal of variety in order to be interesting I'd say the rule would be the simpler your game systems are the more flavor you'll need to include in order to sustain interest...
While the Switch is still criminally under-represented when it comes to racing games genre fans shouldn't leap at #DRIVE thinking it'll slake their thirst for a game from that genre...
Ah, the wonders of the eShop of today versus the Nintendo marketplace just a generation or two ago...
As a die hard twin-stick shooter fan it's both a good and bad thing to check out new entries to the genre on Switch...
Having missed out on the original, though certainly having heard its praises, I walked into Little Nightmares 2 with next to no pre-knowledge aside from knowing to expect a creepy tone...
As a connoisseur of roguelike titles of all stripes Undermine had me excited at first glance...
Survival games have really come in a wide variety of forms on the Switch and Aground may be one of the most basic of the bunch...
This is one of those titles that I see being divisive, especially since I think enjoyment ultimately will spring from how much you enjoy the game's sense of humor rather than the gameplay itself...
Whenever you have games come to Switch that were obviously originally intended for mobile devices the first question is whether or not they benefit from the move to a dedicated gaming console...
It's always interesting to see variations on well-worn genres, whether it's in term of a game's tone or even overall feel...
The My Universe series, obviously targeted at more casual and younger gamers, won't be for everyone...
Anyone who has read a few visual novel reviews from me will know that I don't tend to be a fan...
Never let it be said that the team behind Blue Fire lacked in ambition...
While a great story in a game isn’t usually quite enough to singularly make its purchase a must, it can help to elevate a title beyond other elements that are more lacking...
Ahh, retro arcade-style shooting...
With a focus on the mischievous little woodland creatures, the squirrels, this is a pretty unique adventure you'll undertake as a wildlife observer of sorts...
Point-and-click adventures have been converted over to work with console controllers in a variety of ways and, let's face it, none of them work as well as the traditional mouse unfortunately...
