Review Tunic (Switch) - Old-School Adventuring With Nods To Zelda, Unforgiving And Ingenious
Surprisingly, the fox isn’t saving a princess from a pig-man

Review I Was A Teenage Exocolonist (Switch) - Beautiful, Generous, And Too Nice For Its Own Good
Personal space
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, the latest game from indie publisher Finji, developed by Northway Games, is a nice game.

There aren’t very many games out there that manage to leave an imprint on the people who take the time to experience them, but Infinite Fall’s emotional adventure into rural isolationism, palpable Americana and the melancholy of long lost youth does just...
