I can only recommend this if you are already a fan or like fast paced puzzle games in general. Nothing bad or horrible with this release, but also nothing groundbreaking, Just an above average classic puzzle game with a great challenge. Pick it up if you want to experience the world of Arkanoid.
Put this game out to pasture.
Seriously, this is an amazing game. It may not last that long, but it also never comes close to wearing out its welcome. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an excellent sequel to an equally excellent game, and now that it's out on PC, it's absolutely worth your time (even if that time is over far too soon).
Playing Sonic Frontiers on the Switch doesn't just mean enjoying the good parts of the game and enduring the annoying parts. It also means putting up with one of the ugliest games I've ever played on the Switch.
When A Little to the Left works, it works very well. As I said, there's pleasure to be found in a bit of neatness and order, and A Little to the Left appeals to that specific part of the brain. But it doesn't do it consistently enough to make the game worth playing, unless you like having a bit of frustration mixed in with your cute and cozy puzzles.
It's hard to recommend Alan Wake Remastered when it means suffering through such a terrible port. Unless you're a Switch-only gamer, you'd be well-advised to ignore this altogether, and playing the game on any of the many other systems this is available on. And if your only option is the Switch? Maybe skip this one and just trust everyone who says it's a game well worth playing.
If you're playing Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei for the action, you're missing the point. This is a otome romance novel through and through -- and what's more, it's a good enough otome that even if the setting doesn't sound all that romantic, it still achieves its goal.
If you're okay with that uncertainty, and really okay with crazy hyperactivity, I could totally see why someone would love RPG Time: The Legend of Wright. It's a love letter to gaming -- as in, a love letter to almost every genre you can think of -- and it's designed to look like someone drew it up in a notebook, which only adds to the charm. It's all over the place, but if you want something unlike anything else, this is the game you're after.
Dorfromantik is all about keeping things calm and challenging you just enough to keep you coming back for more, and it's guaranteed to get you hooked.
It's a pretty solid kart racer, all things considered. It works well, it looks nice enough, the tracks are varied, you have a good selection of characters to pick from: Smurfs Kart isn't going to make you forget Mario Kart, but it also never embarrasses itself, either.
As the series nears its tenth entry, you'd think that the creative minds at Jackbox might be running out of ideas, but Jackbox Party Pack 9 suggests that they're only just starting to hit their collective stride.
To say that the Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is jam packed with content is an understatement. Atari and Digital Eclipse really did a great job with this release and you can tell a lot of work went into making it. Despite some of the odd game choices and the inclusion of terrible Atari XE games this is a fantastic collection overall and should not be missed by anyone.
Gearbox Studios took a chance by giving us a sequel to such a critically acclaimed and highly regarded title. They delivered in giving us that same feeling we got playing Tales, a game with humor and heart.
The Enigma Machine is worth playing. You'll need to be in the mood for something very short, and very weird, but in the end, you'll be left with a game that leaves you thinking about it for a while afterwards.
To do all that Farm Manager 2022 has to offer, you need to be willing to put up with some atrocious controls, and you need to be interested in putting in a lot of very detailed work. It's certainly not to my tastes -- give me the zen pleasures of the Farming Simulator series any day -- but if it's a management sim you're after, you'll find plenty to sink your teeth into here.
While not as shocking of a change as 2018?s God of War reinvention, God of War Ragnarök has proven itself a fantastic follow-up over the 40+ hours I?ve spent playing it. Ragnarök, like a good, traditional sequel should, expands upon ideas and mechanics from God of War in ways that feel like a natural evolution of the 2018 game. Kratos and Atreus’ journey across the Nine Realms is fully realized here, making for a fantastic visual and gameplay feast that is sure to please the many fans that God of War: Ragnarök's predecessor gained.
I wouldn't say that Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is a bad entry in the kart racing genre. It's far from the best, to be sure, but it's competent and content-filled enough that you'll at least feel like you're getting your money's worth.
Penko Park is basically Pokémon Snap. A lower-budget, slightly weirder version of Pokémon Snap, to be sure, but Pokémon Snap all the same.
While Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed isn't a full priced, AAA style release, it's still a solid ghostbusting experience overall.
It's hard for me to recommend a game that I doubt many people will put more than an hour or so into, which has no replay value at all. I enjoyed Letterbox by POWGI in my brief time with it, and I imagine that any word nerd who can hold out until the game is on sale will have a fun hour or so with it, but unless that describes you perfectly, you can safely skip this game.
