The Last Alchemist truly stands out in the adventure simulation genre, offering a refreshing experience for players. The captivating visuals draw you in, while the intriguing narrative keeps you engaged. But what truly steals the show are the Agari – delightful and endearing beings that inject humour and cuteness into the game. It’s rare to come across such charming characters, making The Last Alchemist a truly heartwarming experience.
KAKU: Ancient Seal is a captivating open-world RPG that successfully combines a rich narrative, combat, and immersive exploration. Its ancient fantasy setting, together with innovative gameplay mechanics, makes it a great title in the genre. Whether you’re a fan of epic quests and strategic combat or love exploring beautifully crafted worlds, KAKU: Ancient Seal is a journey worth undertaking.
Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is a solid retro platformer. Despite its age, it still offers plenty of fun. While it may not be the best in the series, it’s a great starting point for newcomers. With all four games now available on the Nintendo Switch, it’s worth considering for your next retro game night, especially if you can share the experience with a friend.
Overall, this is easily the best way to enjoy Parasol Stars on modern systems. For me, it’s probably not the strongest game in the Bubble Bobble trilogy. But in no way dismisses all the elements this game gets right. It is an upbeat action arcade game that you can enjoy alone or with a loved one. An art style that explodes positivity. And, of course, a few quality-of-life improvements to make this version of the game welcoming to old and new fans alike. If it’s raining outside, consider your next retro gaming session sorted.
Ghost catching never felt so good in a spooky yet positive experience. It’s a combination of two themes only Nintendo can seem to pull off. If you have never had the chance to play Luigi’s Mansion 2, then this is the best way to experience the game. There may not be a lot of incentive for players who invested heavily in the 3DS version of the game to return. However, I was left smiling from ear to ear through much of my playthrough playing Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. If your world is feeling a little dark these days, then maybe Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will shine a light on your day for a few gaming sessions at a time.
I like The Journey of AutUmn, but it feels like this game needs a little bit more love. Overall, if you like point-and-clicks, cute adventure games, and hand-drawn animations, you might want to give this one a try.
The Palace on the Hill is a heartwarming game that beautifully captures the essence of community and culture in rural India. Vir, along with all the wonderful characters you encounter throughout the game, will surely warm your heart with their charm. The game provides a unique perspective that sets it apart from other games in the same genre, offering players a special look into the rich tapestry of rural life in India. It’s a truly special experience that will leave a lasting impression on all who play it.
Although I’m not overly familiar with the original arcade game, I really enjoyed my time with NeoSprint. A back-to-basics approach to a racing game with tight controls and fun pick-up-and-play gameplay to enjoy alone or with friends locally. The track editor also provides extra value, allowing you to exercise your creative skills or, if you prefer, just download other players’ tracks and enjoy them at your leisure. Content seems a touch lacking in places with no online play and new cars to unlock. NeoSprint took me back to a simpler time in the racing genre without the gimmicks, and I was very happy with the time I spent there. If nothing else, it is a highly recommended game night game with loved ones.
If you loved the base game and the other DLC, you’ll dig A Little to the Left: Seeing Stars. The developers have once again nailed the aesthetic, the music, and the animations and made new and interesting puzzles while they were at it. Seeing Stars is a beautiful, thoughtful, and challenging addition to the original lineup of puzzles. I think this DLC is amazing, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you like games like Unpacking, Gorogoa, or Storyteller, you will dig not only A Little to the Left but also the two DLCs!
Whispers in the Moss is one of the most unique games I’ve had the pleasure to try in the last twenty years, yet it’s as comfortable and familiar to play (once you’ve got your controls sorted) as a Dragon Quest game. The developer’s love for the auld days comes through pure, and every moment of the twelve years of work he put into this project is visible on the screen, in hand-edited art pieces of a style so out of date as to be computer archaeology. It’s not going to be for everyone, as the aesthetic may be too much for some to overcome, even with a few optional color palettes to help with personal taste or eyesight issues. But there’s a love for computer history in the game that gives it an irrepressible charm, and if you grew up fumbling with the ASCII graphics on your old Commodore 64/128, you’re going to feel right at home in these woods.
Mega Mosaic is a modern take on the classic Minesweeper game, injecting new energy into the beloved logic puzzle genre. With challenging gameplay and updated graphics, it’s a fantastic addition for fans of puzzle games.
Olympicats is a fun addition to an already fun game. Besides a new scene, it also adds new elements to play around with in the level creator. If the developers keep delivering new DLCs with this quality, Meow Moments will surely become a go-to hub for hidden object/ kitten games. In any case, it’s a game that is more than worth it for fans of the genre.
Crab God is a fun and engaging underwater strategy game that offers a nice blend of strategic depth and ecological management, and the crablings are so cute. While there are occasional difficulty spikes and some repetitive tasks that some players might not enjoy, the overall experience is pretty rewarding. Crab God not only entertains but also educates, and knowing that while you play the game, you are making a positive impact on the real-world environment is a great feeling.
Mouse & Crane certainly does a good job appealing to its target audience. Excellent voice acting and a warm-hearted story which is warm and uplifting will hopefully capture their attention. The gameplay, though simple, feels engaging enough to exercise those little brains. The experience certainly feels most fitting to be played with a parent (even in single-player). Consider picking this up for your 4-7-year-old, and who knows, maybe this will create a warm memory for the two of you to cherish for years to come.
Ylands had me feeling eager for a thrilling adventure survivalist simulator, but unfortunately, it left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. While the realism of the survival aspect was impressive, the clunky camera and controls, along with the counterintuitive menus, made me wish I was playing something else. However, if you’re looking for a less blocky version of Minecraft with a strong focus on survival, then Ylands might be the perfect game for you. Even though it wasn’t the right fit for me, I can see the potential for others to enjoy the challenging gameplay and immersive survival experience Ylands has to offer
Tavern Talk is a unique and fun story with excellent characters, beautiful characters and scenery, and is great fun to play. However, it is missing a lot of the autonomy that I was hoping it would have. If you are looking for a fun visual novel with a great story, good humor, and amazing characters, Tavern Talk will be a five-star game in your books, I think. If you loved Coffee Talk, you’ll dig this one as well.
There’s not a whole lot to say about Infinite Seek and Find. It’s a simple game with simple gameplay and a simple premise. If you like these types of games, this is a way to play them infinitely with different difficulties for only a couple of bucks. I don’t usually play these types of seek-and-find games, but it was a fun little diversion. I like that Infinite Seek and Find added the ability to unlock greater difficulties, that you could make your own difficulties, and unlock different variations of the same puzzle. If you enjoy hunting for objects in a big pile, Infinite Seek and Find is a good one to go with. It’s cheap, it’s infinitely replayable, and it has cute objects to find. I wish it were more themed like you could search for specific cute dogs among a pile of dogs or something like that, but overall, it’s an okay game to have a fun time with.
If you like games with a lot of collecting, community events and busy work, then Everafter Falls will be the game for you; it’s a heartwarming escape into a world where simplicity and friendship reign supreme. The blend of farming, fishing, and fighting, coupled with innovative mechanics like card-eating and supportive drones and your handy pet, creates a refreshing and engaging gameplay experience. Whether you’re playing solo or with a friend, Everafter Falls is a charming village and a place you’ll want to return to time and time again.
Let’s Puzzle is an amazing jigsaw puzzle game that provides a wide variety of options for creating unique puzzles. With over 50 puzzles included in the game and the convenient feature of being able to save your progress, it truly is a fantastic game. However, I personally feel that the inability to show edge pieces only holds it back from being a perfect experience. I really hope that this feature will be added in the future to make the game even better for players.
Radiant Tale -Fanfare!- is a tough one to give a verdict on. I enjoyed playing the game and liked all the stories it provided us with. But it is difficult to say yes or no based on the price. If you loved and enjoyed the original Radiant Tale or would just like to add the fan disk to the collection, then yeah, I would say go for it. You won’t be disappointed. I should mention, that I fall into the first category, I loved and enjoyed the original. But if you did not love the original game to begin with, then I would advise passing this one because it is a bit too short
