When I saw shots of this gloriously old-school retro arcade title I was instantly drawn in with visions of Geometry Wars-style twin-stick shooting coming to mind...
Games that dare to be different are always a bit of a risk...
While the original CastleStorm had an old school sort of appeal the best thing about the sequel is the increased ambition to provide a more varied experience...
While new and different ways to play are always an exciting thing in principle, how they work out in practice isn't always quite so great...
As an old school fan of the Wing Commander series I’m always excited to take on any new space sim promising dogfights, exploration, and excitement...
There's nothing wrong with a decent casual-ish game to provide some challenge while also letting you unwind...
Who knew that an incomplete circle (who looks suspiciously like a certain gaming icon) and an oddball mix of plants and normally inanimate objects would have so much to offer in the way of philosophy? Circle, who feels incomplete, is in search of feeling whole and wants to explore the world...
This is one of those titles where it's hard to put together your thoughts in a way people who haven't played it will quite understand...
While Georifters has an unusual look and dialogue between characters who are fixated on candy (it's a bit weird) in the end this is really a puzzle platforming game, and for the most part a generic one at that...
I have a great reverence for classic arcade games (as you may have gathered by now) so from the get-go seeing Tamiku open with a classic ROM boot-up screen of sorts hit me right in the nostalgia bone...
OK, so I’ll admit the folks at Supergiant Games (behind the favorites Bastion and Transistor in particular) had me with the fact that they decided to make a roguelike to begin with...
When reviewing games in general I try to carefully avoid hyperbole and excessive exuberance whenever possible...
Finally the last unreleased version of the Kingdom Rush franchise is on the Switch, and Origins also happens to be my personal favorite of the bunch...
With its hand-drawn art style there's no doubt that Super Punch Patrol catches the eye and that gives the game a distinctive feel to be sure...
This is one of those titles that leaves me on the fence...
When it comes to racers the Switch has definitely been in need of some help since launch...
Have you been thirsting for a neon-lit version of the classic Bomberman series? In principle that's what you have here, though let's not get ahead of ourselves...
OK, so given the pretty uncomfortable nature of just the trailer for this title I hesitated to cover it at all...
OK, so I definitely consider a title like this a love/hate proposition...
Strategy games heavy on strategy and the management of resources have been gaining ground and taking a variety of forms over the years...
