NanoApostle is a grim and gruesome tale that implores you to dive deeper. The quick and elaborate combat charges your compulsive actions with a sense of fulfillment. The brutal sentiment of the world and state of affairs based on the characters' views are absorbing. The engrossing challenges and fun replay value between strategies with the game's modules will keep you entertained. Great artwork and energetic music help the flow of the game even more. Cramping may occur which may cause some awkward situations when playing this on the Nintendo Switch, but it never cramped my style as I was addicted to the gameplay loop of figuring out these bionic brutes' movesets. NanoApostle is a dynamic and aggressive game that never lets up until the epic conclusion.
However as an arcade game, Astro Bot ticks all the right boxes and really challenges the medium but in a good way with its crazy mechanics, sturdy controls and next-gen experience, particularly with the DualSense Controller.
Gears meets the sons of Guilliman, in this epic sequel that would make the Emperor proud.
The game's gory combat feels much more immersive thanks to the beauty of Swarm Engine and facing Tyranids feels like a unique gaming experience. Yet, the game fails to remain fresh and engaging till the end.
Age of Mythology may have been a risk some 20 years ago, but remaking it was a no-brainer. Retold feels familiar but fresh, and the changes made all feel like they only improve on one of the franchise's best entries.
A galaxy-spanning romp far greater than the sum of its parts.
A brief but fairly enjoyable platformer that doesn't mind poking fun at the current state of gaming.
An enthralling slice of life sim about love, loss and moving on.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Sam & Max or a newcomer to the series, The Devil's Playhouse offers hours of humorous adventures.
Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid is a quirky game where every second counts and doesn't at the same time. It's a game about the pure wonder of being a child and the conundrums you may find yourself in just exploring around and getting into stuff. Just like real summer, even though you are having fun, time is still going by so eventually you'll have to take up your responsibilities and tackle important duties. The game is an unwinding and gratifying experience filled with summertime jollification.

Despite its limited appeal, there's plenty packed into Nintendo's speedrunning challenger - if you've got the patience for it.
Minds Beneath Us requires your attention and patience to really land itself, but if it holds your investment, you may find yourself on the same emotional rollercoaster as I. It's hard to look past its incredibly slow pacing, but its strong character writing, animation and music at least keep it enjoyable during its downtime.
A thoughtful Indie puzzler that's worth lurking in the shadows for.
