Arcadia Fallen (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Alchemy. It’s never really touched on in video games. The main magic in games is usually that of chaos or healing. However, the team at Galdra Studios brings us a modern fantasy visual novel called Arcadia Fallen. Arcadia Fallen was initially released on steam in November 2021 but has now

Surviving the high seas is a challenge, but with a trusty crew and the right amount of trash, you can overcome the hardiest of sea voyages. In this new game by developers fluckyMachine and publisher Tiny Build comes a unique world where one man’s trash is a ship Captain’s treasure.

Gang Beasts (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Created by Boneloaf, a UK studio started by three brothers, and published by Double Fine, this epic indie fighter is now available on the Nintendo Switch. ‘Gang Beasts’ is not the most technical fighter on the market; it features a bunch of gelatinous faceless characters that can be dressed up

Grow: Song Of The Evertree – Review

With so many high-octane and fast-paced shooters releasing in a short window of time, it’s nice to know that there are games that are happy to slow things down. Developed by Prideful Sloth and published by 505 Games, a new relaxing world builder has entered the chat, and that game

Beyond Blue (Nintendo Switch) – Review

The ocean is vast, scary, and full of mystery and wonder. I have been obsessed with animals since a small one and the thought of creatures living in one of my biggest fears; deep water always fascinated me. ‘Beyond Blue’ developed by E-Line Media is a stunning, single-player, narrative journey

Pretty Girls Panic! PLUS – Review

Pretty Girls Panic! PLUS is a puzzle game that rewards the player with an anime waifu and is brought to us by Zoo Corporation. There really isn’t much to the game at all. You just have to cut into the screen to reveal an illustrated woman underneath. To do this,

No Longer Home (Nintendo Switch) – Review

I love indie games. There is just something so endearing about the way they often put so much raw emotion and soul into what they create. ‘No Longer Home’ is an engrossing title developed by Humble Grove that delivers that snap to emotional reality we all so duly need in

Space Otter Charlie – Review

In a world of modern-day shooters, smash and grab PVP, and intense story-driven action-adventure games, the classic puzzle platformers tend to take a backseat, but rummage around behind the seats and you’ll often find some long, lost gems hidden away. Such is the game of Space Otter Charlie; a blink-and-you’ll-regret-you-missed-it

What Comes After – Review

“What Comes After” by Rolling Glory Jam and Fahmitsu, isn’t an incredibly long game but it is a game that will make you look at the world for the better, something we all definitely need in this trying time. What Comes After opens up the heart and the mind; a

Roundguard – Review

Oh my, what is this? A whacky, rogue-like, dungeon-crawling pinball machine with RPG elements? I’m not going to lie, folks, I was pretty excited to give this a go as I love a good dungeon-crawling RPG, but the pinball element both threw and intrigued me. Brought to us by Wonderbelly
