Time is a river. A common metaphor used to describe how time flows in a single, unending direction. But Close to the Sun, a first-person, story-driven horror game from developers Storm in a Teacup, challenges that notion. In fact, there are multiple instances throughout its brisk story where you will...
Rage 2
Open world games are a weird breed. The old elevator pitch of unchained exploration has been co-opted by overly familiar mechanics and invisible borders. One feels less freedom, and more rising panic, at your ever-expanding task list. Rage 2 sits neatly in the center of the open world spectrum. This...
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age has finally made its way onto the ever-so-portable Nintendo Switch, and the game has made itself right at home on the contemporary device. Ever a fan of the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XII was one title I could not get into when it...
You can’t talk about SteamWorld Quest without first recognizing its genre-hopping developer, Image & Form. Not only have they kept the SteamWorld name and steampunk aesthetics intact since the original SteamWorld Dig (and to a lesser extent, SteamWorld: Tower Defense on DSiWare), they aren’t afraid to branch the franchise out...
Deponia
Nintendo Switch owners are getting yet another port. Introducing Deponia, a beloved point-and-click adventure that PC gamers have been enjoying for almost a decade. Featuring a fully voiced cast of wacky characters, beautifully hand-drawn visuals, and challenging puzzles. If you’re itching for a humorous journey that’ll make you think –...
Dark Devotion
Dark Devotion isn’t a difficult game to describe. It’s an indie game that takes its cues from a lot of popular genres and fuses them into a somewhat unique experience. I could lob criticism at it, nitpick certain creative decisions—and I will—but it is undeniably a competently designed game, developed...
The past few years has seen a boon in all things nostalgic, so much so that it has become a genre unto its own. The 80’s and the 90’s have been mined for all their goodies as the people who grew up in that time frame now have expendable income...
In Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark you play as an arbiter. Servant of the immortals you are judge, jury, and executioner. A routine prisoner transfer thrusts your party into the pilgrimage, a life or death journey to choose the next member of the immortals. Along the way, the pasts of each...
Anno 1800
Developed by Blue Byte, Anno 1800 is the seventh entry into the Anno series and returns to a simpler time in history at the beginning of the industrial age. You’ve probably played many real-time strategy city builders in the past, but Anno 1800 sets itself apart from the pack with...
Cuphead
Studio MDHR’s highly praised, tough as nails title Cuphead has finally landed on the Switch, and it pleases me immensely to see that the transition went off without a hitch. Featuring the same tight platforming, fantastic bosses, and jazzy big band soundtrack as the original version, the Switch version may...
Raiden has embraced the dark side, his humble white robes and beautiful blue lightning replaced with black armor and red bolts of vengeance. He will stop at nothing to protect Earthrealm from the forces of darkness, forces that his own hubris have created. Picking up immediately after the events of...
Feather
Flight sims are often overlooked as a niche game. Not everyone enjoys barrel rolls and non-stop high-speed flight on every possible axis, but for some, it can be incredibly enjoyable to take to the skies where limits don’t exist. Developed and published by Samurai Punk, Feather is a game designed...
