Review UnMetal (Switch) - A Surprisingly Robust Metal Gear Parody Brimming With Ideas
UnFunny, but UnExpectedly good regardless
Comedy video games. This writer's blood runs cold just to think of them. In a medium that sees you define your own pace, how can comedy possibly work without fundamentally transforming the medium from interactive to inert? The comedy and the gameplay are necessarily completely separate and so few games have...
Review Faeria (Switch) - A Superb Mix Of Board Game And Card-Battling Action
Faery good indeed

News 'The Hand Of Merlin' Looks Like Heaven For Fans Of Intricate Strategy
It's got turn-based combat, cards, AND difficult choices!
Early Access games can be scary — ever heard of "too many cooks", except all the cooks are gamers? — but they can also result in some lovingly-polished games that don't make it to Switch until they're really, really good. It sounds like The Hand of Merlin is one of those games, having...
