Pure Nintendo's Reviews

Jan 11, 2024

Knights of the Rogue Dungeon is simple yet addictive. This dungeon-hopping game truly matches the phrase "easy to pick up, hard to put down", with a strong replay element. Upgrades, enemies, music, and layout make this one easy to enjoy.

6.5 / 10.0 - Arcadian Atlas
Jan 11, 2024

It's probably not good that the most distinctive element of Arcadian Atlas is its jazzy soundtrack, but it's still a decent tactical RPG that provides enough challenge and intrigue to overcome a few missteps. Genre fans will get their money's worth.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a splendid return to form for the series. The developers have done a terrific job with an original story and a visually impressive title that's well implemented on the Switch. The smooth gameplay, terrific map system, and satisfying combat and exploration make this a must-play for genre fans.

I've genuinely attempted to click with Berzerk: Recharged (and the Recharged series overall). But, after many weeks, it's clear I never will. This game doesn't deliver what it promises, which is a "revival of an arcade classic."

7.5 / 10.0 - Pixel Cafe
Jan 5, 2024

Overall, Pixel Cafe is a charming cafe time manager with great pixel art. The chill Lo-fi rock soundtrack fits well with the mood, scenes, and themes of each cafe you work at. I'd say its price, $12.99, is fair as the game is pretty well done and has a good amount of content.

Kickback Slug: Cosmic Courier is a pleasant little diversion with a dash of sarcasm, a pinch of difficulty, and a sprinkle of silliness (leave out the salt; our hero has some issues with that ingredient for some reason). What the game lacks in depth, it makes up for with simple fun.

If you really like the action RPG genre, Gothic II Complete Classic is a decent historical entry. I found elements which engage and disappoint in equal measure. Ultimately, the frustrations overpowered the attractions, and I was just as happy to put the game away.

7.5 / 10.0 - TEVI
Dec 31, 2023

Overall, Tevi is a beautiful-looking side-scrolling metroidvania with bullet hell and RPG elements. A heavy load of dialogue slows things down initially, but there's a deep game hiding beneath the surface with satisfying action and gameplay.

The Jackbox Party Pack 10 lacks the broad appeal of other party games, with too many of its games dependent on specific types of players. While it will probably find an audience during holiday vacations, kids on winter break, and so forth, fans who didn't grab this release at launch might consider waiting for the right sale. Meanwhile, new players should check out one of the earlier entries.

8.5 / 10.0 - Alina of the Arena
Dec 26, 2023

The strategic gameplay of Alina of the Arena is enjoyable and replayable with the starting class, cards, abilities, and weaponry you can receive during each run. The game isn't that difficult if you've played roguelikes before, but still manages to be fun.

8 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 24
Dec 21, 2023

EA Sports FC 24 is ambitiously big. It features an astounding number of real-life players and teams, and no shortage of content. It's about as authentic as you can get on the Switch. Despite a few graphical blips and an overwhelming menu system, this is an easy title to recommend to fans.

6 / 10.0 - CRYMACHINA
Dec 21, 2023

Crymachina boasts a dark, imposing world populated by monstrous machine enemies that uses classic sci-fi themes to examine deep existential questions. However, it doesn't offer you any agency through a story that is unsatisfyingly similar to the studio's last game.

As far as action RPGs go, Astlibra Revision is one of the most surprising I've played in quite some time. Outside of the occasional gap where neither the story nor gameplay seem to be progressing, it engages (and challenges) the player in multiple unique ways throughout its somewhat lengthy duration.

8 / 10.0 - SteamWorld Build
Dec 20, 2023

SteamWorld Build is another great entry in this long-running series. This latest outing encouraged me to give simulations another go, taking a series I enjoy and introducing me to a genre I'm not usually fond of. The relaxing style and intuitive gameplay make this an accessible and interesting title for all players.

Dec 19, 2023

Farmer Bundle consists of three separate puzzle games, each similar in gameplay but unique in rules. However, the fun may not last long.

Dec 18, 2023

Born Of Bread is a visually appealing 2.5D adventure RPG with quirky characters. Its in-depth structure is simple to grasp and fun to play. However, a few glitches and hiccups may slow you down.

7.5 / 10.0 - 9 Years of Shadows
Dec 14, 2023

9 Years of Shadows' pixel graphics are gorgeous, its story is compelling, and its boss battles are worth the slower moments you have to wade through to get there. It's a fun adventure that offers enough surprises to keep Castlevania fans engaged throughout.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the Mario game we didn't know we wanted. This long-running series is no stranger to new mechanics and Wonder adds to the list with a completely fresh take while staying true to its roots. Simply put, it's a joy to play.

6.5 / 10.0 - Evil Diary
Dec 11, 2023

Evil Diary is a straightforward, retro, action/adventure game that never gets terribly difficult. You get to shoot aliens and zombies (who doesn't like shooting zombies?), and the soundtrack is good. Other than that, it's a bit of a lightweight game.
