News by Matt S. If you’ve never played an A-Train title previously, you’ve really been missing out. Artdink’s simulation series is a brilliant look into the positive impact that public transport can have on an area, and while you’re only responsible for creating a public transport network in a city,…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ninja Village is a Kairosoft game, and if you don’t know what that means, then you haven’t played a Kairosoft game before. The developer, which previously stuck to the mobile platform like glue, has recently hit the Nintendo Switch with a flood of ports, and has…
