Cris Tales Review: An Ode to the Best and Worst of JRPGs

Cris Tales has a remarkably beautiful hand-drawn aesthetic, some unique time travel mechanics, and a fun and engaging fantasy world. Unfortunately, the gameplay is often bogged down by repetitive turn-based combat and excessive loading times.

Naraka Bladepoint Review: A Double-Edged Battle Royale

The battle royale genre is rather established nowadays with household names like Fortnite and Apex Legends dominating most Twitch channels. For a new game to stand out among the crowd, it needs to offer something the others don’t. So here it is - Naraka.

Road 96 Review: When the Road Calls

Imagine taking a road trip to the same place but taking a different route each time. You’ll see sights you may have missed, experience different emotions, and you may even meet some new friends along the way. That's Road 96.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review - Refurbished Classic Instead of Brand New Ride

The game about being a car mechanic is back. It's better, it's bigger, it's prettier, but overall it's a small step in the evolution of the series, rather than a significant revolution.

Unbound Worlds Apart Review: Platforming Not For the Impatient

Unbound has familiar touchstones of other modern side-scrolling platformers: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Limbo, Inside, Cuphead, take your pick. It’s almost a formula by now. Throw a nice color pallet, a mystical world, and boom you’ve got a game.

Blightbound Review: A Dungeon Crawler by Any Other Name

This game won't change the world, and it's certainly not the best in its genre. It does, however, have the ability to enchant for several long hours. Some elements should be refined though. Read our Blightbound review.

Chernobylite Review: Welcome to the Exclusion Zone

Chernobylite is perhaps the closest you will ever get to visiting the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and avoid any of the radiation aftereffects. And it also somehow manages to make it fun and intriguing at the same time.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD Review: A Fun and Faithful Remaster

A decade after its original release, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD finally comes to the Switch completely remastered with HD graphics and button controls. Surely this will keep fans happy for the next year and a half before the Breath of the Wild.

The Witcher Monster Slayer Review: Mild Hunt

The idea of playing as a witcher and roaming the lands for monsters to discover and hunts sound awesome, but not when it’s in the form of a game like this. Save yourself some time and read The Witcher books instead.

Death’s Door Review: A Game Worth Dying For

Doing a lot of things right, Death’s Door features a beautiful world and level design that rivals that of any Zelda game you’ve played. Plus you get to play as a little crow that wields a sword. What’s not to love?
