7.5 / 10.0 - Monster Crown
Oct 6, 2021

Monster Crown is by no means a bad game. It is an excellent Pokémon clone that brings a lot of much-needed features to the table. However, for those looking for something a little more modern, you'd be best looking elsewhere.

3 / 10.0 - Monster Harvest
Oct 1, 2021

Monster Harvest is a mostly forgettable title that will only really appeal to those who are incredibly fond of the genre.

8.5 / 10.0 - Alekon
Jun 30, 2021

Alekon is a stunning photography game with a ton of variety. Whether it's exploring the beautiful and vast locations or playing through the myriad of minigames, Alekon always has something for you to do. Everything in this game is packed full of charm and personality, and we cannot recommend it enough.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is everything that is wrong with remakes. The game fails to innovate on the antiquated design of the original title, and instead, it only offers superficial improvements.

9.5 / 10.0 - The Colonists
May 9, 2021

The Colonists is a genuinely brilliant game that has nuzzled its way nicely onto the Switch. It is a game filled to the brim with brilliant ideas and an abundance of complexity. Yet its streamlined controls and delightfully helpful tutorial supplies you with enough basics that even casual players will be able to understand.

Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition is a good game if you're searching for a chilled game to relax to. However, if you're looking for a deep farming sim, you may want to look elsewhere.

7.5 / 10.0 - Forgotten Fields
Apr 15, 2021

Forgotten Fields is a beautiful game that tells a heartwarming and painfully relatable narrative. While its gameplay can be shallow, and there were numerous visual bugs, Forgotten Fields' narrative is so strong and meaningful that I could overlook its various shortcomings.

7 / 10.0 - Before Your Eyes
Apr 8, 2021

Before Your Eyes is a frustrating buggy mess. There were several times when the game crashed and many more when it refused to stay in focus. But despite all of its shortcomings, Before Your Eyes is an incredible narrative game with a mechanic that can add a tremendous amount to the gameplay. If you feel you can overlook some of its imperfections, then this might just be the game for you.

4 / 10.0 - Paradise Lost
Apr 4, 2021

Paradise Lost is a frustrating experience. While its hauntingly atmospheric environments are a joy to explore, its lacklustre narrative betrays its phenomenal premise. The lack of interactable elements means its already slow-paced gameplay is a slog to get through. Its all too cryptic narrative leaves much to be desired, taking away my care factor for the story's outcome. This is a stunning game with a lot of potential, but it ultimately fails to meet the heights it should.

4 / 10.0 - A Long Way Down
Apr 3, 2021

While A Long Way Down has some interesting ideas, but its lack of direction or focus makes progressing through its long-winded levels a chore. None of its unique ideas ever feel substantial enough, and it never did enough to hold my interest for very long. A Long Way Down is far from terrible, but it's not worth your time or money.

8 / 10.0 - Genesis Noir
Mar 29, 2021

Genesis Noir is a visually spectacular video game with an enthralling, albeit abstract, narrative. While its more gameplay focused segments often bring the game down a notch, whenever Genesis Noir treats the player to one of its lavishly animated cutscenes, it's hard not to salivate at its gorgeous art style. The eclectic mix of sound and visuals create an experience unlike any other in video game history. Genesis Noir is truly unique, and while not always a fun experience, it is by far one of the most mesmerising adventures I've ever had the pleasure of undertaking.

While Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of the Eastern Realm fails to bring the title to its fullest potential, it offers some fresh innovations that fix the mostly dull original game. The shift in narrative tone helps alleviate the base game's narrative inconsistencies, and the reduced length means you're able to make the most of the combat and climbing systems quicker. However, the fact that it's essentially a reskin of the base game means that this DLC never reaches the heights it should.

6 / 10.0 - Synergia
Mar 25, 2021

Synergia is a superficially beautiful title. While its heart-warming romance is handled excellently, its mind-numbingly confusing narrative asphyxiates it.

10 / 10.0 - What Comes After
Mar 18, 2021

What Comes After is an inspiringly told portrayal of the beauty of life. It perfectly balances discussions about suicide, the trials and tribulations of life and the meaning of it all with a detailed and stylised art style that oozes warmth and joy.

Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure is an incredibly fun and addictive kart racer that I'm happy to admit is better than Mario Kart.

Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse is an entertaining game with a bittersweet sense of humour. This won't be for everyone as it is entirely reliant on the player enjoying Cyanide & Happiness' trademark cynically crass humour.

7.5 / 10.0 - Everhood
Mar 7, 2021

Everhood is an interesting experiment disguised as a game. While I enjoyed the gameplay's psychedelic nature, I found myself frustrated by the antiquated game design.
