Visually striking and a zany, trippy ride, Super Mario. Bros. Wonder is an impressive 2D platformer that feels so familiar and brand-new at the same time.

A remastered version of the 2011 Wii title, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land offers some updated graphics and a few new features, but are these enough to justify returning to the game?

Hoa Review: Like a Simple, Short-Lived Flower

game review23 August 2021

Like a short-lived flower, Hoa is filled with wonder. Its levels and puzzles may be too simple for some, but the wonder it creates through art and sound could be what convinces you to play it.

Unbound Worlds Apart Review: Platforming Not For the Impatient

Unbound Worlds Apart Review: Platforming Not For the Impatient

game review04 August 2021

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.

Smelter Review - Beyond Platforming Heaven And Hell

Smelter Review - Beyond Platforming Heaven And Hell

game review27 April 2021

It’s as if the SNES classics ActRraiser and Mega Man X got married, had a baby, and called it… well, Smelter, which is an awful name, honestly.

Lost Words: Beyond the Page Review - a Platformer Like No Other

Lost Words: Beyond the Page Review - a Platformer Like No Other

game review01 April 2021

What looks like an average platformer is in fact one of the most emotional games of recent years. The story of young Izzy will touch your soul, no matter if you’re 14 or 44. The only thing missing is the game's average delivery of pure platformer.

Little Nightmares 2 Review - Can't Sleep, Monster Will Eat Me

game review09 February 2021

Little Nightmares 2 is a sequel that's nearing on obsolescence, but comes out on top with a few successful expansions of previous ideas. On top of that, it remains quite creepy, and overall compelling.

Crash Bandicoot 4 Review – Crash Returns the Same, Yet Better

game review02 October 2020

Playing the newest Crash I realized that I've seen it all somewhere before. Familiar mechanics, levels, animations... But you know what? These copied solutions go perfectly together, and we've just got a new king of 3D platformers!

Super Mario 3D All-Stars Review – Old-school Mustache on Switch!

game review16 September 2020

The release of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy on Nintendo Switch is a great way to bring the cult and genre-defining platformers to the generation of players who haven't even been born 25 years ago.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Review – Modern Oldschool Respecting the Original

game review27 September 2019

We never have enough of The Legend of Zelda. This time, Nintendo again revisits the past to brush off the one of the best hand-held adventures of Link – Link's Awakening, originally created in 1993 for the Game Boy.

Inside Review – enthralled by the creators of Limbo

game review07 July 2016

For the last couple of years Playdead have been working hard on a new title, a follow up to the success of Limbo. Inside is the outcome. This is a gloomy journey of a little kid into the world of unethical human experiments.

The Way Review – revive your love in pixel art

game review03 June 2016

Drawing inspiration from cult classics such as Another World or Flashback is a commendable thing to do. Still, is this simply a marketing ploy or did the creators actually succeed at bringing back the spirit of these great ‘90s games?
