Pure Nintendo's Reviews

8.5 / 10.0 - Spooky Chase
Mar 15, 2021

Spooky Chase is a fun platformer with a devilish twist that makes you the enemy. It's tricky but addictive, with great visuals and soundtrack to boot.

8.5 / 10.0 - Bravely Default 2
Mar 15, 2021

Despite a couple shortcomings with the story and extraneous elements, Bravely Default II is a rock-solid JRPG that will appeal to anyone with a love of world exploration, character management, and turn-based combat.

If you are new to this series or simulation strategy games in general, expect to spend a couple of hours just in the tutorials of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV: Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack. The gameplay is complex, but not overly convoluted. As you gain experience and get familiar with the available options and the general flow, it becomes a satisfying adventure.

9 / 10.0 - Littlewood
Mar 12, 2021

Littlewood is so gosh darn cozy. From the charming characters to the low-stakes RPG fun, there's plenty to love in this interesting entry in the farm-sim genre. It may be the only game of its kind that is truly "pick up and play." Or, like me, you can sink in plenty of hours and get lost in all that cuteness.

Although it tries to shake up the shooter forumal, Redout: Space Assault doesn't fully succeed, with a lack of clear instructions and a control scheme that's not intuitive. Although there's plenty of action, it's not as satisfying as it should be to shoot your way through space.

7 / 10.0 - Under Leaves
Mar 10, 2021

A short game, Under Leaves is probably one to add to your wishlist for a deeper discount. That said, it's a delightful title to chill with and impressed me in many ways. I hope to see more from the small indie team at Circus Atos.

8 / 10.0 - PAKO Caravan
Mar 9, 2021

PAKO Caravan is a fun and engaging reimagining of a classic game that preserves the simple yet addictive nature of the original and is well suited to playing to the Switch.

6.5 / 10.0 - Knight's Retreat
Mar 8, 2021

Knight's Retreat is a clever puzzle game based around the movements of chess pieces. There are 80 levels to keep players challenged, but its basic visuals and redundant gameplay may turn away chess and puzzle dilettantes.

6.5 / 10.0 - Wind Peaks
Mar 5, 2021

There's certainly something to be said for a game that leaves me thinking about it and wanting more. Wind Peaks definitely grew on me. But, reaching the end after playing for just over three hours (and getting all achievements) is a tough pill to swallow for a $14.99 game. I hope the sequel plays it less conservatively.

While newcomers may find some shortcomings in the whole package, hardcore fans will still find it a delight. Sure, it feels rather dated, but this port of a Neo Geo Pocket Color classic still hits the mark where it counts.

Beating 1912: Titanic Mystery has left me mixed. The game has many issues but was still fairly entertaining despite these. I'd say it's an okay release overall, presuming you're a genre fan who hasn't already played it.

7.5 / 10.0 - Blue Fire
Mar 3, 2021

Blue Fire, albeit flawed, is a very enjoyable and satisfying platforming experience. It may not reach the heights of some of the games that inspired it, but that doesn't stop it from being an incredibly enjoyable game that has plenty to offer.

Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space is a neat alternative to the original games. Including newly added side quests, characters, and a hidden ending. Citizens Unite gives players a fun new experience that lets them play two awesome games for the price of one.

6.5 / 10.0 - Astrologaster
Mar 1, 2021

In Astrologaster you play as an unlicensed doctor who helps his patients by seeking guidance from the stars. This visual novel is full of fun choices, characters, and songs, as well as cool spiritual aspects that will keep you somewhat entertained.

7 / 10.0 - Colorful Colore
Feb 28, 2021

Colorful Colore is a solid puzzle game that won't keep you busy for too long but will challenge you just enough to have a good time.

7 / 10.0 - PUSS!
Feb 28, 2021

If challenging games aren't your thing, it would probably be best to stay away from  Puss! However, overall, Puss! is a fairly decent game for those who enjoy a challenge, it certainly won't disappoint.

Rather than being a game for the whole family, My Universe – PET CLINIC CATS & DOGS is very much for younger kids. I can see them enjoying it for a couple of hours before the repetition cements itself. But this is a $29.99 game, and there's no way to justify that price. The quality isn't high enough for what ends up being an average game in most respects that kids will grow bored with.

7.5 / 10.0 - Castle Kong
Feb 26, 2021

Castle Kong gives Donkey Kong a colorful visual refresh and an extreme challenge bump, but otherwise sticks closely to the formula that made it a legend. Fans of classic arcade games will enjoy it, and will be thankful they don't have to drop another quarter with each frustrated restart.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is an adorable yet challenging dungeon crawler designed to play with friends and suitable for any character class. Its world is exciting, its style is lovely and it has a lot going for it that draws you into the adventure.

Half Past Fate's pandemic themed addition to its romantic series is a nice little love story, but it doesn't have much in the way of player interaction and feels like it only scratches the surface of the emotional impact of looking for love in lockdown.
