More than being a video game, Kentucky Route Zero is a work of art – in fact it probably belongs in a museum rather than on our PCs or consoles. And just like any piece of art, it’s unlikely to resonate with everyone who experiences it. But if you’ve been...
While Super Crush KO isn’t perfect, it’s hard to play without a smile on your face. Brawlers aren’t usually my cup of tea, but this title is smooth, exciting, fun and a real joy to play. And it really fits perfectly on the Nintendo Switch. With a few tweaks to...
All things considered, Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training for Nintendo Switch certainly isn’t as good as its predecessors. With its letter and number recognition problems and the Switch’s controllers not detecting arm movements accurately, there are some minigames that players will definitely be put off by. But its unique new additions...
Unfortunately, because Deemo Reborn is a rhythm game first and foremost, it falls short if you’re playing it on the plain old DualShock 4 controller. The button scheme, while seemingly straightforward, is much too complicated when you attempt to play anything more than an “easy” difficulty song. If you do...
With a lovely art style and an entirely intriguing concept, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is unlike anything you’ll have played before. Its uniqueness makes it worthwhile, but some slow-moving elements, inconsequential mechanics and a few lacklustre stories mean it doesn’t stand out quite as much as it should.
I may be downing a pint of ice cream while I type this, but I enjoyed my time with Zumba Burn It Up!. Having just recently dabbled in the exercise video game genre with Ring Fit Adventure I’m looking forward to incorporating Zumba Burn It Up! into my exercise routine,...
For fans of the Rogue-like genre, Sparklite is a cute, easy-to-learn title. If you’re looking for a single-player adventure and you don’t mind spending some time grinding in order to upgrade your character, then this is a great title for you. The controls are smooth and sleek, its characters intriguing,...
Luigi’s Mansion 3 shines in almost every way. Its levels are unique, expansive and detailed. You’ll never have a dull moment. And the humour is genuinely funny. Not that Mario games aren’t known for tidbits of humour, but the writers have really outdone themselves here. I laughed out loud when...
Night School Studios’ new title offers up a good laugh, and not just at the unfortunate glitches. Its art style is adorable, and the neon lights and bloody backgrounds truly make it feel like you’ve jumped down into hell. But while the story is intriguing, it feels too slow at...
Like most Jackbox Party Packs, Jackbox Party Pack 6 has a couple of fantastic games, and a couple that don’t quite hit the mark. Push the Button and Trivia Murder Party 2 are games that I will be pulling out at parties for many moons to come. On the other...
The MediEvil remake is a faithful recreation of the 1998 classic. Although my childhood memories failed me in recalling exactly what it was like to play back in the day, playing the remake still brought with it swathes of warm, fuzzy nostalgia. 2019’s MediEvil has done nothing but improve upon the...
A few niggles aside, Twice Circled should be very proud of its charming simulation game. Although its graphics are simplistic, the game speaks for itself with its entertaining gameplay. Once you get the hang of all its systems, Megaquarium is a lot of fun. If you enjoy management sims, I...
