Review Airoheart (Switch) - Adequate Adventuring For Link To The Past Obsessives
"We have 2D Zelda at home"
It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if that is indeed the case, then Airoheart is one of the most sycophantic releases on the Switch today. There's certainly no shortage of 'Zelda-likes' available on the console, but this is a game that stretches the term “inspired by” to its absolute...
Review Monster Crown (Switch) - Enjoyably Old-School Monster Battling For Pokémon Lovers
"I choose you... to read this contract!"
About three years ago, Studio Aurum pitched Monster Crown on Kickstarter, a monster-battling RPG which wasn’t shy about taking inspiration from a certain popular Game Freak franchise. After making over nine times as much money as the initial goal, the title then shifted to Early Access on PC, where it was...
Review Kaze And The Wild Masks (Switch) - A Brilliant Homage To Donkey Kong Country
Kaze ni nare
Despite being a) beloved and b) hugely successful, the Donkey Kong Country series feels a little… well… under-rated. Offering a weighty yet fast-paced alternative take on the side-scrolling platformer, it’s always been second fiddle to Nintendo’s flagship Super Mario titles. It’s a surprise that such an overt love letter to...
Review Adam's Venture: Origins (Switch) - Uncharted For Switch? You've Got To Be Kidding
Nothin' Drake
Oof. There's no reason to beat around the bush with this one; Adam's Venture: Origins is an ugly, ugly game. In fact, graphically, it's one of the worst-looking titles we've ever seen on the Switch. It's muddy, glitchy and aesthetically dull. There's constant shimmering, shockingly blurry low-resolution graphics, appalling textures and...
Review Among The Sleep: Enhanced Edition (Switch) - Has Some Growing Up To Do
Creepy crawling
If games like Firewatch and Gone Home typify what has come to be known as the 'walking simulator,' then Among the Sleep is more of a 'tottering simulator'. You could take that as a reference to its implausibly youthful protagonist, but it just as easily applies to the game's uneven tone and shaky gameplay. You could probably describe...
Stalled effort
By now, we're all pretty smart to the realities of porting a game from other consoles to Nintendo Switch – especially when that game has arrived within the last year or so. Unless you're working with a particular art style or setup that's purposefully easy to render, most Triple-A games are going to take a knock to both performance...

News Bunny Park Is A Fluffing Adorable Rabbit-Sim Game, Hopping To Switch Soon
Plus a physical edition!
BUNNIES. Bunny Park is a game about BUNNIES. Obviously. And you're in charge of them! You'll have to feed them, entertain them, keep them happy, and try to stop them making too many extra bunnies, because that's a very quick descent into a hellish, bunny-tsunami situation. This September, Bunny Park will be heading to...
News Lemon Cake Is A Super-Sweet Bakery Management Game Coming Soon To Switch
Plus a physical release
Maybe it's just us, but right now there's nothing more appealing than the idea of quitting your job, moving to the countryside, opening a café, and raising chickens. Not that we don't love our jobs, mind you — it's just that the day-to-day of city living is not nearly as appealing as living in the woods. Well, at least we...

News Pokémon-Inspired Game Monster Crown Teases New And Exciting Announcements For 2022
"We're not slowing down anytime soon"
Pokémon-like games have really caught on over the past few years, and one, in particular, that got quite a bit of attention last October was Monster Crown - an eShop release we described as "a jankier and less addictive version of the oldest Pokémon games" that took us back to the 8-bit Pokémon days. If...

News Winter-Themed Update Adds A Frosty New Location And Team To Xenon Racer
Includes a new car and three new tracks
When Xenon Racer arrived on the Switch eShop in March, it looked like a potato and ran like one, too. In an attempt to fix up this mess, 3DClouds added a Quality/Performance display option to this version of the game. Now that the Switch iteration has been slightly improved, the developer has refocused its...
