The Banner Saga 2, the second game in developer Stoic’s trilogy of tactical role-playing games, is out now on Nintendo Switch. That’s great news, but it’s clear from the get-go that your overall enjoyment of the game will vary greatly depending on whether you have a completed save file from...
Crossing Souls
Oh, the 80’s — we just can’t seem to quit you. You don’t have to look far in today’s pantheon of endless pop culture to see that the era of neon colors and synth-laden beats is in full swing. From Thor Ragnarok’s bombastic retro logo to Netflix’s hit, Stranger Things,...
Floor Kids
Floor Kids oozes style above all and that’s immediately apparent with its infectious and simple hand-drawn graphics by artist and creator JonJon. Coupled with some truly mesmerizing animation, Floor Kids is a game you’ll want to show off to friends and family. It sounds fantastic as well, boasting an original...
If there’s one thing I’ve grown to appreciate more since owning a Switch is that it’s becoming the perfect platform for independent games. Games that I barely gave a quick glance at on PS4 and Xbox One are somehow getting significantly more playtime on my Switch. I’m almost positive it...
On paper, Black & White Bushido sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday evening with friends. After all, 2D arena combat games like Towerfall Ascension have proved that a simple concept coupled with fast and fluid action can result in endless fun no matter the occasion. But unlike...
Uncanny Valley
I really wanted to like Uncanny Valley. Most of what it offers — a survival horror, narrative-driven adventure with retro visuals — are all attributes that appeal to me. It’s a shame then just how it all comes together, or rather how it tries to. Uncanny Valley has branching paths...
Lara Croft GO
Lara Croft GO is unlike any Tomb Raider game before it, and it’s because of this bold change of pace that it is so very special. It’s the second game in Square Enix Montreal’s GO series (although some of its thunder may have been ripped away by another Go game...
Resident Evil 0 is a worthy entry in the Resident Evil franchise even though it lacks the scares and originality. It's often overshadowed by the first game, but not giving it a spin would be a grave mistake. RE 0 makes some notable changes to the core gameplay like controlling...
Hearts of Stone is a full-fledged add-on for a game that probably didn't need to be any longer. Thankfully, Hearts of Stone is a total blast for Witcher fans and packs more into its 10-15 hour campaign than most AAA games on the market. With its wonderfully paced story, mesmerizing...
Despite a main quest that meanders a bit too frequently, The Witcher 3 excels at giving players an unbelievably large and beautiful open-world that is brimming with meaningful things to do. While the scope of the adventure may often leave players intimidated and overwhelmed, CD Projekt RED has crafted The...
Tango Gameworks could've taken the easy route and had The Assignment cover similar ground to The Evil Within. Thankfully, the decision to move the focus from action to stealth has proven to be a smart one. With a more interesting lead character, tighter pacing, and better scares, The Assignment is...
It's clear from the start that, without a doubt, this is the best version of Resident Evil out there. While some of the game's legacy design choices may be hard to stomach in 2015, Capcom has ensured this gothic horror adventure is more approachable than ever before. By adding a...
