Have you ever felt like a game was made for you? Something that so perfectly matches your favourite aesthetics, gameplay style, narrative and theme that it’s like the developers pulled it directly from your inner core? Labyrinth of Zengetsu is that game for me. Related reading: For another example of…
Read MoreI’m obsessed with anything picross (more commonly known as nonograms). The puzzle games involve using the numbers surrounding a board to fill in spaces and create an image. I’ve sunk a stupid amount of time into picross games, including MIKULOGI on my iPad (there’s a Nintendo Switch version too). I…
Read MoreI almost always enjoy Nintendo’s Indie World Showcases. I mean, the general Directs are pretty great (the last one smashed it out of the park, mostly because of Super Mario World: Six Golden Coins) but there’s just something about the Indie World Showcase that generally feels a bit cozier.

Read MoreA simple re-release on the Nintendo Switch GBA platform would have been better than Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp.

Read MoreVery few series are as loved as The Legend of Zelda, so whenever there’s a new game on the horizon fans go nuts and crave information. We’re heading quickly to the May release The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath…
Read MoreNorn9: Var Commons is not a new visual novel by any means. It was originally a PSP title, and then localised into English for the first time for the PlayStation Vita version. Now it has landed on Switch to give players that missed it previously to catch up. They should…
Read MoreWhen Disney Dreamlight Valley first came out in early access last year, I was obsessed for weeks. My interest in the Disney-based life sim-type game has definitely waned a bit since then, but with every update my interest is renewed. Today, the Pride of the Valley update was released, and…
Read MorePreview embargo has lifted on the delayed and long-awaited Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp! If you had a GBA, you owned and loved these games for their taut tactical brilliant in a comfortable portable format. The big question is, does the “remake” do enough? That’s what we chat about in…
