Jordan Biordi's Reviews
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.
Darkest Dungeon II keeps everything good from the original and elevates it to create something different but equally brutal.
TRON: Identity is a short, sweet, and incredibly engaging interactive novel that perfectly captures the essence of the franchise.
Have a Nice Death mixes fast-paced combat with roguelike elements for an experience you’ll be DYING to keep playing.
Storyteller is a mediocre game that can GENEROUSLY be called a puzzle-solver, but isn’t nearly as creative as it thinks it is.
Bayonetta Origins is a sub-par experience marred by sloppy combat and only somewhat redeemed by an incredible visual style.
Pronty strives for Metroid’s depth but ends up a shallow dip in contaminated waters.
Tales of Symphonia Remastered is a solid, albeit dated trip down memory lane.
Blanc is a beautiful-looking game that would’ve been a better movie.
The Pathless focuses on style and fast-paced movement and does it well, but leaves a bit to be desired on the Nintendo Switch.
Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator blends puzzle, simulator, and style for an enchanting brew that’s hard to resist.
The Oregon Trail has been brought to the modern day with mindfulness and a wide-breadth of enhanced gameplay.
My Fantastic Ranch is a gentle dip into the Simulation pool’s shallow end that will definitely whet the appetite for more advanced experiences.
