Oddworld: Soulstorm is Coming to Switch!

Can’t get enough of Abe? No, not Lincoln, the wiggly guy from the Oddworld games. Well, I have good news for Switch users who haven’t gotten to play Abe’s latest adventure, Oddworld: Soulstorm. Thanks to developer Oddworld Inhabitants, and publisher Microids, we…

Smurfs Kart Brings a Smurfin Good Time This Winter

When I saw the press release for this, I said “What the Smurf?!” but in an excited way. I love The Smurfs. I think Smurfette was the original queen, leading all the Smurf men around by—well ok, that’s not super important. Anyway,…

Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderland (PC) – Review

Sliding backward down a mountain, often at speed, peppering in “tricks,” all under the guise of being relaxing, is insane. I’ve previously stated that I find snowboarding, skiing, and other extreme winter sports, to be an exercise in getting yourself killed by…

Sifu (PC) Review

Beyond a Steel Sky (Switch) Review

I love a good mystery, and I love a good Point-and-Click adventure. Beyond a Steel Sky hits both of those boxes and scratches a really particular itch for me. It is more than just a story-driven mystery title, it has a unique…

Brawlers are a unique genre. There’s not much else that can feel as equally welcoming and unforgiving as them. It’s a type of game that benefits from pushing the envelope, taking a simple concept, and stretching just how far it can go.…

Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot: The First Case (Switch) Review

I love a good mystery game. Murder Mystery Machine, Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders, and plenty of other games have captured the good serotonin boost of solving a good whodunit recently. The successor to The ABC Murders, Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot: The…

Marsupilami Hoobadventure (Switch) Review

Of all the childhood properties that I expected to become a video game, Marsupilami isn’t one of them. Considering the Marsupilami TV series never caught on in the US, and I mostly watched the short-lived 1993 series in reruns, it isn’t exactly…

Logistical Issues Lead to Beyond a Steel Sky Console Delay

We’re all aware of the supply chain issues going on. It has led to all manner of things, from shortages of parts for PS5’s to delays in various items being available. Now, it seems that Microids is feeling the shortage in a…
