Tetris Forever review for Nintendo Switch

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 23:30:09 +0000

System: Switch Release date: November 12, 2024 Developer: Digital Eclipse Publisher: Digital Eclipse It’s easy to take Tetris for granted. Tetris games have been released on, apparently, over 65 different devices. Many have described it as the perfect puzzle game. Very smart scientists have even performed psychological studies about how Tetris affects the human brain. It has, incredibly, been about...

Super Mario Party Jamboree review

Nicholas Serpa — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 16:00:13 +0000

System: Switch Release date: October 17, 2024 Developer: NDcube Publisher: Nintendo Like clockwork, roughly about every three years, Nintendo releases a new Mario Party game. That may seem like a lot, but it’s easy to forget that that for most of the series’ life these titles were getting cranked out on an annual basis. Nowadays though, Nintendo is spending more...

[Review] Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered

Nicholas Serpa — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 14:04:15 +0000

System: Switch Release date: October 31, 2024 Developer: Grasshopper Manufacture / Engine Software Publisher: NetEase When a game is given the label of “cult classic,” in my experience, this is typically due to one of two possible scenarios occurring. The first is that the game itself was generally deemed above average in terms of quality, but for business or marketing...

[Review] Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:01:49 +0000

System: Switch Release date: September 24, 2024 Developer: Purple Lamp Publisher: THQ Nordic I’ve had a 2010 Wii copy of Epic Mickey sitting on my shelf for years, and as much as I had intended to experience Warren Spector’s twisted Mickey Mouse tale well before this point, for one reason or another I’ve just never gotten around to it. In...

[Review] Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club

Nicholas Serpa — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 16:00:09 +0000

System: Switch Release date: August 29, 2024 Developer: Mages / Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo I like it when Nintendo gets weird. It’s usually at about this point in their consoles’ lifespans, well after they’ve sold roughly a bajillion Mario and Zelda titles, when we see them start to resurrect dormant franchises and experiment in genres that other platform holders are ignoring....

[Review] Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – Deluxe Edition

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 16:04:25 +0000

System: Switch Release date: July 11, 2024 Developer: Project Aces / Future Tech Lab Publisher: Bandai Namco While the Switch may be feeling a bit long in the tooth these days, leave it to Bandai Namco to swing for the fences with an incredibly ambitious port in the tail end of the console’s life. There’s nothing quite like Ace Combat...

[Review] Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 14:00:14 +0000

System: Switch Release date: June 25, 2024 Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios Publisher: SEGA Considering it’s been twelve years since the last original Super Monkey Ball game released, I half-expected that Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble might try and and take some big risks, maybe try and swing for the fences with some crazy new single-player modes or some sort...

[Review] Endless Ocean Luminous

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 06 May 2024 20:00:38 +0000

System: Switch Release date: May 2, 2024 Developer: Akira Publisher: Nintendo As thoroughly as humanity has managed to explore the surface of our planet up through the present day, it’s a well-known fact that the vast majority of Earth’s oceans remain unexplored. And while plenty of games have sought to make tangible the feeling of exploring an underwater realm, Nintendo’s...

[Review] Princess Peach: Showtime

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 19:00:35 +0000

System: Switch Release date: March 22, 2024 Developer: Good Feel Publisher: Nintendo I’m not sure if Princess Peach has a rivalry with Kirby or something, but she’s picked up a shocking amount of skills in the nineteen years since her last solo game. In short order, Princess Peach: Showtime tasks the Mushroom Kingdom’s longstanding ruler with displaying all sorts of...

[Preview] Roman Sands RE:Build

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 23:04:37 +0000

Roman Sands RE:Build is one of the strangest games I’ve played in a while, and that’s saying something, because I’ve played a lot of weird games lately. On a surface level, this first-person adventure appears to be an eccentric experience about performing menial tasks for the entitled guests of a strange luxury resort. It quickly becomes apparent that there’s much more going...
