Jordan Biordi's Reviews
With lacklustre gameplay, and an uninteresting world, The Cub ends up feeling like a cheap knock-off of the games that clearly inspired it.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is an intoxicating blend of style, accessibility and fun. Even if you don’t know the franchise, you’ll love this incredible fighter.
Born of Bread is an honest attempt but it needed a lot more time in the oven to be truly great.
Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion Remastered is fine enough, but lacks the updates and charm of its predecessors.
Dredge remains an incredibly playable and captivating game in a uniquely eerie package and while The Pale Reach DLC is a decent enough addition, it doesn’t offer enough to justify being paid content.
Super Mario RPG is as good today as it was 27 years ago, and this remake simply brings it into the modern day.
Unlike its titular hero, Ebenezer and the Invisible World learned naught from the mistakes of the past.
There’s a lot I want to like about My Time at Sandrock, but outdated design and lacklustre visuals hold the game back—especially on the Switch.
Mail Time is less like cuddling up with a good book and more like falling asleep reading a Post Office pamphlet.
Ghostrunner II is an incredibly challenging and incredibly fun game that will test your every Ninja reflex and keep you coming back for more.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a complete reinvention of everything that makes the franchise great, and the best 2D Mario game ever made.
World of Horror is an intense and existential horror experience that perfectly captures the work that inspired it.
Detective Pikachu Returns may not be the most puzzling of adventures, but it's fun and charming enough to stay engaging.
Lies of P exceeds its SoulsBorne inspirations and is easily one of the best games of the year.
Despite feeling a bit more streamlined and simplistic than its predecessors, Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is another solid entry into the franchise.
Samba De Amigo: Party Central may not a perfect experience, but it’s fun enough to be a fun addition to any Friday night get-together.
Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara is a decent, albeit very basic platformer that does enough to be mildly entertaining, but not enough to have a lasting presence.
Viewfinder is an incredible mind-bending puzzle game that never stops innovating and never stops being fun.
Master Detective Archives: RAINCODE has some interesting ideas in isolation, but they never fully come together in a way that’s fun or fluid.
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life remains both an oddity and a gem, and is a must play for fans of the farming sim.
