Wayward Strand (Switch) Review
Sometimes when I get a look at a trailer for a game, I think it is going to be more compelling to me than it is. It isn’t necessarily the fault of the game itself that my expectations were different, but it…

Arcade Paradise (Switch) Review
As a child of the 90s, I find myself fondly remembering the (short-lived) period when my local mall had an arcade. Something about the sights, sounds, neon aesthetic, and all of those games just brings me back. So, when I saw a…
One Piece Odyssey Trailer Returns Fans to Alabasta
Despite not having seen the anime myself, I’ve been curious and excited about the upcoming release of One Piece Odyssey. The new RPG (coming in January) features an all-new story and will allow fans to revisit iconic storylines and locales, all while…

Cursed to Golf (Switch) Review
Golf is one of the few sports that I actually enjoy in video games. I can’t stand watching real Golf, but something about playing Golf in games is just way too much fun. Cursed to Golf combines Roguelike procedural generation with Golf…
Garden In Gets 2023 Release Window
I find myself drawn to casual, relaxing games more and more these days. Especially when winter rolls around and my joints start acting up. A new contender in the relaxing games category is Garden In, developed by Italian studio Dramatic Iceberg. Thanks…
Coromon (Switch) Review
In recent years, the monster-catching genre of games has only grown more prevalent. Pokemon and Digimon set the bar high for a lot of people, and indie developers have consistently tried to capture the magic of those two franchises, to varying degrees…
