Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Review

Donkey Kong Country Returns was first released for the Nintendo Wii in 2010, three years before it would appear again on the 3DS utilizing the handheld console’s 3D technology. At the time, it was nice to have the game as a handheld…

Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles (Nintendo Switch) Review

I hadn’t seen much of the original Star Wars trilogy when I was younger. I knew that the coolest thing in the world was Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and I loved my PlayStation. That was really about as simple as…

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana (Nintendo Switch) Review

For Western gamers in the 90s and 2000s whose JRPG exposure was limited to the likes of Final Fantasy or Pokemon, the Ys series is like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Not getting into the Ys games myself until around 2018, I’m constantly…

Gimmick! 2 (Nintendo Switch) Review

I love a good sequel, especially when it’s completely out of nowhere. There’s a fun trend happening in game development where studios today are bringing back characters and titles from decades ago and breathing into them new life. That’s where we find…

Keylocker (Nintendo Switch) Review

I have a love-hate relationship with action commands. I love games like Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series, but sometimes those timed action commands are an accessibility issue. I went into Moonana’s Keylocker with an open mind after playing Virgo…
