Unlock The Cat is a cute game to play in bursts over the day. It’s the kind of game to curl up on a couch with while enjoying a nice cup of tea or on the commute for a few minutes of mindless fun. For puzzle fans, this is a sweet addition to the lineup.
While I like Draw a Stickman: EPIC, the actual artistic skill required to play this game is zero. Draw isn’t a game for those looking to flex their creativity as little is needed or allowed in the game. The puzzles are pretty linear, and the crayons are spells but in crayon form. The game was good while it lasted, but I feel it could have been so much better.
Rescue Party: Live! Is very entertaining in co-op and will make for some memorable game nights. Whether you succeed or fail in your mission to rescue survivors. You will likely have many gaming giggles to share together. If you’re going solo I’d probably advise staying clear and currently taking caution with the online which seems a touch laggy when I was reviewing it. An issue that may be ironed out over time. There is still plenty of room for co-op games and I’m pleased to say Rescue Party: Live! is one of the good ones.
I realize I may not have played Scrapnaut in the same way most gamers would, but Scrapnaut harbors elements or different kinds of genres that will appeal to all sorts of players. It allows you to adjust the settings to just the kind of gameplay that feels right for you, which I really like. The exploring, gathering of materials and building and crafting part is where the fun is for me, and the game handled this well. It feels like a fresh take on the farming and crafting genre, reminding me of Harvest Moon: an Innocent Life, though it isn’t as smoothly polished as the big titles. I wanted to see more storyline, which would have made it less about ticking the boxes for the quests, but I did enjoy my time with Scrapnaut. I can’t of course comment on the battle part, but for me, the game shines in exploration and building/crafting.
Letters – a written adventure is a very enjoyable heartwarming game with a relatable coming of age story. I found the story held my attention right up till the end of the game. The use of words in the game is well implemented, focusing on narration and having fun with words with a little word puzzling thrown in for good measure.
Overall, I liked Eternal Radiance. The mix of story and action gameplay will certainly appeal to the anime fans or those that are looking for a good old action jRPG. For me, it scores a positive recommendation mostly due to the variety available to the player during combat sections. If you want to treat this as a simple hack and slash you can. But it was enjoyable to experiment with various moves, spells and parrying. What’s on offer is pretty solid but it doesn’t do anything groundbreaking or new. It feels quite formulaic with the approach of collecting side quests, then going out in the field and exploring until you find it. Then return to town, upgrade your equipment and repeat the process until the day is won. If that all sounds good to you then absolutely give Eternal Radiance a look in.
Unfortunate Incidents is a nice point-and-click title for those who don’t mind a slow burn. I can see this appealing to those who are itching for a mystery and want to try something a little different from bigger mystery games. It’s interactive and interesting, though the pacing plot and music could be better. It wasn’t quite my cup of tea.
Make the Burger is beautiful, likeable, and will kick your frontal lobe’s butt. Alas! If only I had time to feast my eyes on these sweet burgers, but the game’s fast pace is too intense for that. There’s a good challenge to be found here, but it lacks staying power.
Certain elements of Arceus remind me of action games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Monster Hunter, but with the battle, trade, and collection of previous games still intact. Pokémon Legends: Arceus has undergone significant changes, ultimately making the game better for it. After having played all the previous Pokémon games in the series, I can say I love it, give it a go, and you might love it too!
The Longest Road on Earth is a nice little art piece of a game with a really good indie soundtrack which evoked all the feels in me. That being said I can easily see this game just not clicking with many people, much like some random exhibit you take a chance on in a museum. You’re going into this experience to appreciate some good music and zero challenge. It feels like a great way to spend a peaceful night with the Nintendo Switch on the sofa, with a nice drink and a blanket. Of course how you choose to enjoy this game is up to you. This game won’t suit everyone but it certainly deserves its place on Nintendo Switch for those that will open their hearts to it.
Hidden Paws is a fun enjoyable little puzzle game. If you have played other games in the series then you know what to expect from the game and it will be purrfect for you. For everyone else, Hidden Paws is an adequate puzzle game to pass a few hours with while you have a cup of coffee with your feet up at the fire.
This puzzle game feels like something that someone put up for sale without playtesting it much first. While the visuals and the story are gorgeous. Some of the puzzles are confusing, winding, and waste the player’s precious time for no real reason. I liked a lot of aspects of Summertime Madness, but I wish it contained a little less aimless wandering and a little more puzzle solving to get where you need to be going.
Cities: Skyline has been one of my favourite games since its release, which is why it’s firmly on my list of the Best City Building Games . With the Airport DLC, constructing a small airfield right up to large international hubs, cargo and transport hubs add much more to your city and tourism. Cities: Skylines – Airports DLC is my favourite DLC out of them all.
All that being said, I Love Finding Cats! is a fun little game. If the cost of it was a little lower, I would consider this a lot of fun and a great gift for anyone who loves cats in your family or friend group. It’s fun, it’s filled with cats, but the gameplay is a little awkward for me to love it.
I really liked the formula for Merek’s Market. However, the more I played the game the more the niggles with the gameplay started to wear away at me and I didn’t enjoy the single-player as much as I envisioned I would going in. Still, this game probably has the best single player I have played in this genre to date. Co-op of course is where the experience truly shines. Merek’s Market will likely be an experience where you’ll laugh with joy and shout with frustration but the memories of doing that together will make for a great gaming experience. With that said I still recommend this game.
RPGolf Legends for me ended up being a kinda push-pull. When the game focused on golf gameplay and exploration I was really in love with the experience. But the combat in the game really soured it for me. The game does get better the more time you invest into it, once you upgrade your clubs and unlock new classes. It just requires a lot of persistence to get to that point. With that in mind, I still recommend this game since it does put its own spin on the sports RPG formula. It’s just a formula that could have been a hole in one with a few tweaks to the gameplay.
Labyrinth Legend is fun, but the damage system didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. If there is an algorithm for figuring out how much damage a staff would do, it was not explicitly explained. Hopefully, it was just me being dense! Also, it was just a little bland for me. There was not much story to invest it, which is a big of a negative for me personally. However, I don’t feel like this would be a negative for many fans of this sort of dungeon crawling adventure game.
Time Master is a lovely game with some devilishly difficult puzzles to complete. It offers a great challenge to any player or lover of puzzle games. If a proper hint system is incorporated into the game, without the need to leave the game and go to Discord, it would improve the quality of gameplay for the player.
Arcadia Fallen is a great title for fantasy lovers who want good LGBTQ+ options and good world-building. The game takes around 6-7 hours if you read fast, which is a tad brief for the price tag. However, your choices can change outcomes, such as which romantic partner you’ll show interest in, so there is replay value. It comes down to how much you value the strengths of this title. As for me, I greatly enjoyed it and rate it…
Once you get past the lack of a tutorial and find your feet to progress in the game, Astroneer turns into a wonderfully crafted open-world survival game. It is one of those games that gives you as much as you put into it and lets you work at your own pace towards your goals or the games. It is a calming and genuinely enjoyable experience to play if you stick with it.
