Nintendo’s IP is going at only one speed: full S.T.E.A.M. ahead.

Valley of the Yetis has a few issues, the major one being the stripping of all your hard work in the main game, but it is still a ton of fun.

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is not a bad puzzle platformer, it just doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

While the maps and enemies could be more varied and interesting, there’s no denying that the gameplay is stellar, rewarding you for working closely with your teammates and punishing you otherwise.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a masterful retooling of JRPGs before it, and only a handful of problems hold back an otherwise excellent tale of family, honor, and reclaiming what was lost.

ScreamRide offers an experience that is fresh, deep and a blast to play. Despite its lack of multiplayer I kept coming back for more to test my creativity and wreak as much havoc as possible.
