    Review Doraemon Story Of Seasons: Friends Of The Great Kingdom (Switch) - Familiar Farm Sim Fun

    Planetary exploration has never been so chill

    The first Switch Doraemon: Story of Seasons launched in 2019 and was praised for harmoniously combining the cast of the much-loved children's anime with the relaxing gameplay of one of the most well-known farm sim franchises, and while it may not be the most obvious combination, its beautiful art style...

    Review Potion Permit (Switch) - A Great-Looking Life Sim That Eschews Both Farmwork And Challenge

    Double, double, toil and trouble

    Coming from developer MassHive Media, Potion Permit is a sweet little social sim-meets-adventure RPG. However, unlike the majority of life simulators currently dominating the eShop, Potion Permit presents no crops to cultivate and no farm animals to tend to, and instead relies on medicinal foraging to help those...

    Review Circus Electrique (Switch) - Repetitive Turn-Based Battling In A Gripping Steampunk London

    Roll up, roll up

    Circus Electrique is quick to pique the interest of any fans of a turn-based tactical RPG, especially those who loved Darkest Dungeon. However, its unique design raises the question of what Darkest Dungeon would be like if it were filled with mechanical mimes and pretentious police officers, all while being set in a gritty,...

    Review Ooblets (Switch) - An Adorable Life Sim Full Of Charm, Character, And Dancing

    It's nice to meet Oob!

    Following six years of development, Glumberland finally presents Ooblets, a quirky, creature-collecting life sim set in a rundown town. But this game offers more than just creature collecting. Between farming, making friends, and busting a move, players are responsible for restoring life to Badgetown and its surrounding areas...

    Review Islets (Switch) - A Wholesome, Hand-Painted Metroidvania That's Stunning To Look At

    A tale of the small but mighty

    Kyle Thompson, the creator of Sheepo, is back with another weird yet wonderful addition to the Metroidvania genre. Islets is a gorgeously hand-painted story of connection and adventure through a world quite literally torn apart. Taking on the role of a self-doubting mouse whose dream is to reconnect to the world and...

    Review RPG Time: The Legend Of Wright (Switch) - A Flawed But Enchantingly Homemade Adventure

    It's time for adventure!

    After nine long years in development, developer DeskWorks has created what can only be described as a perfect embodiment of when imagination takes over with RPG Time: The Legend Of Wright.

    Review Frogun (Switch) - A Charming Platformer That Doesn't Croak Its N64 Inspirations

    It’s time to hop into action

    At a time when game developers are consistently striving to create something photorealistic and fully immersive, we begin to lose touch with the games that kept us up at night as kids. Luckily Molegato, the developer of Frogun, kept this in mind as this crisp, retro-style puzzle platformer came to fruition. The story...
