DUSK's smarts are what really make it work. Every level is brilliantly paced and thoughtfully spaced to inspire on-the fly strategies to survive this wholly unfair onslaught of terror. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 19]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Cuphead was already a landmark in video game art and animation on top of being an expertly balanced tribute to the arcade shooters of yesteryear. Studio MDHR nailed the formula right out the gate and sought only to give fans more of what they loved in the form of a "delicious last course" to satisfy any lingering cravings. If this is truly the end of the Cuphead ride, what a high note to leave on! [Issue #61 – September/October 2022, p. 28]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Even with Samus Returns under their belt, I'll admit to being slightly worried that MercurySteam wouldn't be able to live up to the standards set by Sakamoto's original Metroid crew at Nintendo R&D1. With Dread, my worries proved to be unfounded! This is a magnificent new benchmark for the franchise! [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 66]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If you missed Quake back in the day, this port is a fantastic way to experience this genre-defining work, especially for fans of 2016's DOOM. While a lot of the old-school design choices may feel simple by modern standards, it results in an elegantly intense game that's still an addicting delight to pick up for even a short session of a few minutes.

Pokémon Sun & Moon aren't absolutely perfect – but they are absolutely amazing, and I'm perfectly prepared to argue that they now represent the best generation the series has ever seen in its 20-year history. [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.66]- Nintendo Force Magazine
