The Turing Test is a well-made puzzle game that translates well onto the Nintendo Switch. Although its mechanics could be better utilized to create slightly more challenging puzzles in the first few chapters, Bulkhead Interactive started to perfect the formula by the game's conclusion.

"Dense and tense" is how I would characterize this game. Not dense because of the amount of content in the game (there really isn't too much), but by how much is happening on screen for the player to keep track of. It is tense not in story stakes or in-game...

For those who I've spoken with that have heard of Tokyo Mirage Sessions before, they usually say something along the lines of, "Oh, it's Persona with Fire Emblem characters," which is a simplification that does the game a disservice.

Showdown is a great first effort into multiplayer madness beyond co-op for Yacht Club Games that I am sure will carry lessons into their next project. Showdown is a compliment to the entire Treasure Trove package that does not encroach on the core experience. Some people will love Showdown’s addition...

Wattam is not a great video game by any definition. However, it is a great, zero-stress experience that wants to show how great friendship can be. If you’re looking for a game to test your skills or provide you with a mature narrative that makes you think, Wattam ain’t it....

The best part about Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is the match-three puzzle game that’s been out for years on iOS and Android. None of the other games are worth your time and considering the match-three game on mobile devices is completely free, there’s absolutely no reason to pick up this...

As the JRPG has become more mainstream in the west over the past couple of years, now is the best time for Star Ocean to try and capture a bigger audience. Re-releases like Star Ocean: The Last Hope - 4K & Full HD Remaster and Star Ocean First Departure R...

Death Stranding might not go down as my favorite game ever made by Hideo Kojima, but it's very likely his most inventive and unique to date, which says a lot. If video games as a medium are ever going to progress past where they are right now, we need more...
