I'll give the people behind Bright Memory credit for coming out of the gate swinging big, serving up a FPS experience...
Sometimes you run into games where you cant help but feel they're a bit of a victim of the timing...
It has really been a bit of a surprise to me how many farm management sims there have been on the Switch...
Having played the original classic RPG Baldur's Gate but then falling off of the series from that point...
When you’ve been playing 10 - 20 games a week for the last 4 years it can get to be a challenge for games to really stand out...
This is a bit of an odd title to review in some ways, as having spent time with it I could see people going in two very different directions...
Coming back to the Switch with its high-speed futuristic racing that features some truly rollercoaster-like tracks, Redout 2 is quick to make an intense impression...
Oh how I love it when great music and rhythm games show up pretty well unannounced to blow me away...
When you're looking to relax or unwind there's nothing wrong with some light to moderate challenges presented in a very pleasantly cute package...
Going back to the glory days of the classic Contra, both at home and in the arcades, the run 'n gun shooter has always provided for quite a lot of fun when done right...
While there could always be more, there's quite a variety of side-scrolling slasher action games on the Switch which range from the more linear and traditional, to Metroidvania style, to sometimes a bit more odd...
If you've got a love for storytelling, retro graphics (in this case VERY retro, complete with a very limited color scheme), and some elements of intrigue that would feel at home in an X-Files adventure you may get a kick out of Mothmen 1966...
This is one of those titles where I can respect the apparent decision to latch on to a core element of gameplay and then stick with it till the bitter end, but Id also point out that it makes for a game you'll grow bored by very quickly most likely...
This review is a rough one for me, as there are aspects of XEL that make me wish I could be more positive in my ultimate opinion of it...
It's always a shame when you run into a title that has obviously put a great deal of effort into looking and feeling a bit different, making it feel noteworthy, but then drops the ball in some way...
OK, so making games that aren't terribly ambitious or great in terms of gameplay happens, and when I come upon one like Superola Champion Edition I see ways to go glass half empty or glass half full with it...
Sometimes its nice to play games where the focus is less on a clearly-defined destination and more on the journey...
I definitely ended up with some feelings with this one, and unfortunately for the most part they aren't flattering...
Having never played or even really heard much about the Klonoa series, I was pretty eager to check it out when I heard this packaged together remasters of its original two titles...
I'm always eager to check out new racers, and have an old-school love for the classic top-down style...
