Review Bubsy 4D (Switch 2) - A Maligned Mascot Finally Gets A Good Game
No cat-astrophe here
Reputation matters, and few video game characters have spent longer trapped beneath the weight of their own than Bubsy. The wisecracking bobcat arrived in 1993 as Accolade's answer to the '90s mascot-platformer boom and promptly became notorious for clumsy design and punishing controls. Yet, the bobcat kept clawing his way back...
Mini Review Demon Turf: Neon Splash (Switch) - A Brilliant Platforming Spin-Off Full Of Colour
Devilishly good platforming
When Demon Turf launched at the tail end of 2021, it left a positive impression on us thanks to its solid platforming gameplay, retro aesthetic, and focus on speedrunning. The game fell short of true greatness due to its less-than-stellar combat mechanics, which frankly brought the whole experience down a few pegs. In a...
Review Demon Turf (Switch) - A Tight, Stylish 3D Platformer With Plenty Of 'Tude
Off the hook
If there’s one thing gamers constantly crave, it’s a decent 3D platformer. Though the genre has seen its fair share of all-time classics, it’s safe to say its popularity waned as shooters and action-RPGs ascended through the 2000s. Indeed, unless a 3D platformer comes bearing the name ‘Mario’, ‘Crash’, or ‘Spyro’,...
Mini Review Skellboy (Switch) - An Amusing Take On Zelda That's Undone By Sluggish Performance
Don’t lose your head
In the once peaceful land of Cubold Kingdom, life is flipped upside down when the king’s court magician gets well and truly dumped by the princess. In a fit of rage, he unleashes death and destruction on the pixelated world, bringing forth a host of ferocious monsters. Unbeknownst to the magician, however, he has also...
Review SpiritSphere DX (Switch eShop)
Zelda, is that you?
At a glance, you would be forgiven for thinking SpiritSphere DX was a sequel to one of The Legend of Zelda titles released long ago on the Game Boy Color. It looks, sounds and feels like one of Link's outings on the classic portable device, but upon closer inspection, has absolutely nothing to do with adventuring. This is more...
Review Slime-san (Switch eShop)
It's not easy being green
If there's a lesson to be learned from Slime-San, it's that looks can be deceiving. Glancing at screenshots reveals a grungy, pixellated style, some weirdly gooey environments and what would appear to be a fairly straightforward 2D platformer, but scratch just beneath the slightly viscous surface and you'll find...

Feature "Stop Tagging Us About Bubsy!" - Fabraz On Being Bullied Into Reviving A Maligned Mascot
"We were blown away by the reception"
Bubsy, it's safe to say, doesn't have the greatest reputation in the world. So when Bubsy 4D was announced at Gamescom 2025, we were honestly pretty floored. Not only was Atari reviving a series that's arguably had far more misses than hits in its 30+ year history, but it was bringing on critically-acclaimed...

News Demon Turf: Neon Splash Shadow-Drops On Switch eShop
2D and not 2D
If you're a fan of 3D platformers, you probably remember Demon Turf from last year, a tight, neat-looking little gem from Fabraz (Slime-san) and Playtonic Friends that released in November. Mixing 2D visuals into a 3D space, we very much enjoyed our time with it, so it's exciting to see a new game featuring Beebz shadow-drop on Switch...
