Pure Nintendo's Reviews

Oct 30, 2025

Full Metal Schoolgirl offers a sharp, satirical look at corporate life. It's humorous throughout, but the roguelike, action-oriented gameplay does become redundant. I'd rather my time slogging be spent in an actual office I'm meant to survive, not a virtual one I'm meant to destroy.

7 / 10.0 - Particle Hearts
Oct 29, 2025

Particle Hearts leans heavily into its visuals and overall presentation, and that was probably the right thing to do. The narrative is revealed slowly and with only gentle guidance, leaving players to explore and discover the game's secrets at their own pace. By all means, take your time with this one.

7 / 10.0 - Cladun X3
Oct 27, 2025

If detail management is not your cup of tea, your experience with Cladun X3 may end in frustration. With that considered, this is a very well-built action adventure that provides enough fun and depth to occupy dedicated players for quite a while.

8 / 10.0 - OFF
Oct 23, 2025

OFF is one of the most out-there titles I've played. It's a creative game that's sure to leave an impression. The turn-based battles are satisfying, the puzzles are some of the toughest and most creative I've seen in recent years, and the visual style stands out. If you're a fan of quirky titles, this one is worth checking out.

9 / 10.0 - Persona 3 Reload
Oct 23, 2025

Persona 3 Reload's strengths are in its details. The game's turn-based combat and social aspects should become repetitive, but they build effectively throughout. More importantly, the style, story, and characters are continually compelling, driving to a finish that will stick with you well after the game's finished.

7 / 10.0 - NBA 2K26
Oct 20, 2025

NBA 2K26 should look and perform better on the Switch 2. It should also tone it down with all of the microtransaction noise on top of an already $70 game. But if you're willing to overlook those issues, you'll get a game that's a lot of fun to play and provides many ways to play it.

Roadwarden’s contained world offers a lot of entertainment to those who take the time to explore (and re-explore) every nook and cranny.

6 / 10.0 - Tiny Witch
Oct 15, 2025

Tiny Witch is a cute shop game with an interesting approach to its setting and a fun sense of design. It ultimately feels like a great demo for a larger, more complete game that builds on the ideas seeded in this genuinely solid foundation.

8 / 10.0 - Rise Eterna 2
Oct 14, 2025

Rise Eterna 2 doesn't correct the UI issues of the original, but its brisk approach to gameplay and storytelling makes for a compelling and fun turn-based adventure. Fans of classic Fire Emblem games will feel right at home, and-more importantly-will enjoy the strategic elements that make it unique.

9 / 10.0 - Tiny Bookshop
Oct 14, 2025

If you're looking for the ultimate cozy game, Tiny Bookshop is definitely one to check out. It's slow-paced, but has wonderful visual aesthetics and easy-to-manage gameplay mechanics.

Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition doesn't do much to distinguish itself from the previous version it replaces in the eShop. If you have that, you're fine. If you don't, this is a surprisingly deep, highly addictive match-three RPG that's well worth the price.

In most respects, PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC is the definitive way to play the best-selling sequel. But a few of the level and boss alterations prove questionable at best (especially the latter), and the easy (immune) mode is a sizable step back from its more balanced predecessor. Bandai Namco would be wise to address both in an update asap. The game mostly makes up for these mistakes with its aesthetic and control improvements. Add time trial leaderboards, two-player co-op, and plenty of new and returning extras with some fun unlocakables, and you have an adventure that might keep you playing.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 are still out of this world. This pair of classic adventures remind us why we love Mario's 3D outings in the first place. For existing fans, the temptation to replay in this enhanced form is strong. For new players, this is a must-own title.

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus blends expert storytelling, interesting puzzles and finely crafted spooky pixel art to create a fantastic prequel game that leaves you wanting more of this insidious, addictive world.

HYKE: Northern Light(s) places gamers in an attractive world with interesting characters, but doesn't give them enough to do to really hook fans of retro RPGs. It's a game worth playing and finishing, but easy to move on from.

Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile translates its '70s setting into a fun audio-visual package. The mysterious characters (fully voiced) are well-developed, giving the game a page-turning quality. You'll want to see them reach their conclusions, no matter the outcome. A few well-meaning but ultimately unfortunate choices knock the game down from great to just good, and I suspect this will fare less positively with Christie purists, given some of the liberties. But I think most players will get their money's worth at $39.99, and the game's replay value only sweetens the deal. The overall experience delivers an uneven, albeit high-quality, memorable mystery adventure.

7 / 10.0 - Splatterbot
Oct 7, 2025

Splatterbot is a fun little multiplayer game. It's simple but makes for a neat party title in short bursts. With a few more options or modes, this could be even better, and we're excited to see what's next for Hey! Kookaburra.

Overall, Cronos: The New Dawn is an atmospheric horror outing with an interesting premise that creates a bleak feeling of isolation. It borders on frustrating at times with its high difficulty, but that’s also part and parcel of the genre. It may not convert anyone not already invested in these tough outings, but survival-horror fans are in for a treat.

Covenant of Solitude is a decent RPG. The battles are the heart of the game. However, I wish the item pool were more balanced, the writing were better, and the characters had more of a say. Still, if you're a fan of RPGs, this game is worth a go.
