Review Sail Forth (Switch) - An Explorative, Seaborne Blend Of No Man's Sky And Wind Waker
Build an adorable fleet and set sail for adventure
Trim the sails and hoist anchor, because Sail Forth has launched without warning on Switch. This relaxing, laid-back exploration game drops players in an ocean filled with strange locals and even stranger characters. Those looking for realism in their sailing game will find better options out there,...
Review Cozy Grove (Switch) - A Great-Looking But Flawed Animal Crossing-Alike, With Ghosts
Animal Crossing over to the other side
Back in the Wii and DS era, Nintendo tried something new: telling its players to take breaks. We're no strangers to the Animal Crossing all-nighter, and it seemed like Nintendo was finally starting to worry about our health, but very few people actually heeded the gentle warning. You're not our mum, Nintendo...
Review Tumblestone (Switch eShop)
Time to rock n’ roll!
The puzzle genre can be very hit-and-miss, particularly on dedicated gaming consoles where players tend to expect a higher level of polish and quality than most mobile games are able to achieve. Tumblestone, on the surface, looks like your typical ‘match-three’ kind of puzzler and might struggle to stand out from the...
Review The Bridge (Switch eShop)
Round the bend
Puzzle games by their very nature are designed to deceive and delight. Regardless of console or dimension, a good puzzle game has to strike a perfect balance between challenge and attainability. From making lines to jumping through walls, lateral thinking, logic and reflexes have been put to the test for gamers everywhere, and...
Review Tumblestone (Wii U eShop)
Block party
A few generations ago, puzzle games had a prominent presence on home consoles. Brimming with individual personality, many could be relied upon to offer some fun single- or multi-player play. You don't see as many of these games any more. Puzzle games have migrated more towards mobile platforms, a large number swirling together into a...
Review The Bridge (Wii U eShop)
Turning the tables with M.C. Escher
The Bridge is a colourless, drab, bleak affair. It's also engaging, addictive and fantastic. If you haven't heard of The Bridge before, don't worry; it's a puzzle-platformer that was quietly released on Steam in 2013, then later ported to Xbox 360 that same year. The game opens on the nameless main character...

News Cozy Grove, The Animal Crossing-Inspired Island Life Game, Makes Its Home On Switch In April
Guess it's time to scrap our idea for a game called "Grozy Cove"
Heck yeah, another game about sedate pastoral life! We know that there have been a few lately, but we just can't get enough of them. Cozy Grove is the newest game from Spry Fox, who you may recognise from hit mobile games Alphabear and Triple Town, and it takes a lot of inspiration...

News New Sail Forth Trailer Awakens The Wind Waker Fan In Us
Belayed after delays
It's been... 83 years... since we last played The Wind Waker. Despite our repeated cries for the Wii U version, which only Wii U owners played, to be ported to the Switch, we have not yet seen the slightest glimmer that this hope will come true. Sob. Luckily for us, the upcoming procedurally-generated game

Paradoxical fun
The Bridge was a surprisingly fun experience when it was released on the Wii U eShop back in 2015 to critical acclaim. The game is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective. The lovely folks over at The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild are now bringing The...
