Though the planet is a savage one indeed, in this case, the risk is absolutely worth taking.

Overwatch on Nintendo Switch is a prime example of a fantastic game marred by a sub-par port.

87 / 100 - WHAT THE GOLF?
Oct 13, 2019

I went into What the Golf? expecting a fairly straightforward golf game with a few silly surprises, but it’s so much more than that. Even if its simplistic nature sometimes acts as a double-edged sword, What the Golf? is a devilishly charming experience full of good humor and imaginative gameplay wrapped up in a thoughtful and endearing package. It may be made by people who know nothing about golf, but they sure know how to make a fun video game.

The Surge 2 has some marked improvements over its predecessor but doesn’t color too far outside the lines.

Aug 3, 2019

Horace is a charming homage to an era of gaming and culture that’s rapidly fading into the sunset, yet it never rests of the nostalgia factor to keep the player engaged.

Draugen is not a revolutionary game, but it is a smart one.

Close to the Sun deserves praise for the world it builds and just how gorgeously rendered that world is.

Still, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is a highly competent RPG and, who knows, maybe this release is a sign a sequel is finally on the horizon.

71 / 100 - Outward
Apr 3, 2019

Outward is an impressive, fresh take on the open-world formula, and the option to play in split-screen or online multiplayer is something I’ve been craving in an RPG for a long time. If Outward had released a decade ago, I have a feeling it would have been an instant cult classic, but in 2019, it’s harder to look past some its more outstanding issues. But even with its long list of flaws, I’d still happily get lost in Outward again.

Feb 12, 2019

Observer on the Switch brings back all the good aspects of the game and gives you more flexibility on how to play it with new touch inputs and, of course, the option to play it on the go.

Ultimately, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an entertaining, competitive, and addicting game that truly captures the visual style and overall feel of the source material.

Aug 24, 2018

After some major patches and fine-tuning, I could see HYPERGUN blossoming into a good, possibly even great game, but for now, it's just a failed simulation.

88 / 100 - INSIDE
Jul 4, 2018

INSIDE is still a deeply thought-provoking experience with a mystery that begs to be explored and is faithfully ported to the Switch.

After playing Unravel Two, I was bummed its predecessor completely flew under my radar.

This simplicity makes the game easy to pick up and get the hang of right away, but later on it starts to feel stale.

Though LA Noire's open world and graphics may not have aged nicely, its core aspects still work surprisingly well.
