Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles (Switch) Review

In 2000, the original Rhapsody game was translated into English and offered to Western audiences. Many might have thought that there was only one game in the series, but in reality, two other titles simply did not receive translations. In a new package…

Gunbrella (Nintendo Switch) Review

Is there a more consistent badge of quality than seeing the name Devolver Digital attached to a game? I’d argue no. The publishing studio knocks it out of the park consistently with titles that (as much as I hate to admit it)…

The Shape of Things (Switch) Review

After a long day, sometimes I don’t want to play anything that requires a lot of action. Sometimes I want to relax and enjoy something a little more casual. I often lean toward puzzle games for this, but there are a variety…

Pikmin 1+2 (Switch) Review

I’ve been a fan of the Pikmin series since the original game came out on the Gamecube back in 2001. I have played every game released in the franchise since then, other than the latest game, Pikmin 4. As such, when it…

Touhou: New World (Switch) Review

2023 seems to be shaping up to be the year I step out of my comfort zone. Normally, Bullet Hell games aren’t my thing. I usually don’t have the reflexes to stay on top of avoiding the large number of attacks coming…

Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Cord (Switch) Review

In 2014, Idea Factory released Fairy Fencer F to the West. In 2016 they released an updated version called Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force. Now, 9 years after the original game’s release, Idea Factory and Compile Heart have released a bizarre…

Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection (Switch) Review

On the DS and 3DS, dual screens provided players with a variety of new ways to play their favorite games. The hardware also gave developers a new way to engage players and immerse them in new and inventive worlds. A standout of…

Blasphemous 2 (Switch) Review

It is somewhat ironic that despite spending years complaining about Souls-like games, I find myself playing them relatively often. This is mostly a side effect of the fact that most recent Metroidvania games have taken cues from the genre, choosing to implement…
