With deliciously detailed and often horrifying pixel art driving the experience, this is an indie horror game that demands some attention
Somehow a mix of Halloween theming, cozy vibes, strategy, and puzzle elements that works reasonably well
Closing out the reboot trilogy, Shadow runs with a darker tone and story, but plenty of satisfying action beats as well
Offers a terrific mix of action, adventure, strategy, and Marvel-ous fun, but it’s also unfortunately a bit crash-prone at the moment
If you’re going to come for one of Nintendo’s classics, you really need to step things up
While I appreciate the creepy setting, and the fact that it isn’t technically a walking simulator, this is still a pretty plodding affair that struggles to be compelling
While for the most part there aren’t many original ideas here, combining different classes and their synergies can also keep you well occupied
While a relatively simple grind in the end, there’s something oddly engaging about it, destroying so much in the name of simply saving a cat
While the concept is odd enough to help prop up the experience to a degree, at some point its middling mechanics and play struggle to justify its price tag
A delightfully odd, creepy, twisted, and yet clever adventure full of laughs and unexpected surprises
A pleasant enough little sandbox, but mileage will definitely vary depending on what you’re looking for
Joins a number of other decent but pretty ordinary beat-em-ups in the eShop that are fun for a run or two but not really memorable either
A mystery game that has a distinctive look and feel, some creepy beats, and plenty of people to investigate
Weirdly enough, while the game has some cool music, and it delivers simple-but-challenging action, I wouldn’t really consider it a rhythm game either
A very murky, muddled, and dull walking simulator that comes up short on scares
While it has some unusual visual quirks at times, for cat lovers or people who just enjoy a more unusual RPG experience this is simply different
A great follow-up to Mission Impawsible that continues to show how to properly take a license geared at kids and turn it into a solidly-accessible game experience
While it packs in some new ideas, this collection feels like it has lost a step in terms of its normal level of entertainment
If you’re just looking for some cheap scares and pretty well nothing making much sense, this may work for you
An interesting mix of old-school adventure and pretty slick modern horror video production
