Nobody Saves the World takes the joke a little too far, forcing the player to go through the same motions over and over, to the point where it feels like the game is laughing at you, rather than with you. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 19]

Haiku, the Robot is a fantastic take on a crowded genre. It's fast, challenging, charming and almost always fun to explore. It's not perfect, but it's earned its place among the greats in its class. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 21]

Has Nintendo doomed this game to repetition in its racetrack roster now? [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 22]

This is foundational, basic, by-the-book stuff from the Big N. Nothing too outrageous. Nothing too surprising. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 67]

This game is finally tapping into the kind of potential the license provides! [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 68]

Suda51 games exist so that we can play something that only Suda51 could make, and in doing so, see who he is from the inside out. By that measure, this is his most successful game in years. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 69]

There is a TON to do here. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 70]

Harvestella is exactly the kind of game that would theoretically get everything right in a sequel. Its mix of action and farming isn't what every sim fan wants, its combat is hacky and it was clearly made on a budget. But its seeds have now been sown, and I hope they get a chance to flourish. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 72]

With its mature themes, Digimon Survive provides a refreshing take on the franchise and fits into the series' canon in a really cool way. I hope we get more Digimon games exploring new directions like this! [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 73]

Without the use of the Music Pass, the core setlist can, at first glance, feel like a shockingly slimmed-down Taiko entry, but if Namco continues to support the service with more and more tracks before releasing more full games, Rhythm Festival offers more reasons to come back again and again with just a single jam-packed entry. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 76]

If you only have access to an older 3DS model, it's really a hard sell – except if you have incredible patience. But when the game gets plugged into a New Nintendo 3DS or a New 3DS XL, it's a match made in heaven. [Issue #20 – March/April 2016, p.65]

Super Mario Run represents a smart way to translate sidescrolling Mario gameplay to buttonless mobile devices. [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.22]

A snazzy package with some neat bonuses that serves as a fun historical compilation of old Sega classics. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.73]

The world in this game must be experienced. [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 20]

Star Fox 64 remains the reigning king of this franchise in my book, but Zero is a great Star Fox game too – if you give it a chance. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.75]

It is what it is: a smaller game concept that served its purpose as an E3 tech demo well, and so was polished up to become a nice companion piece for a bigger game. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.76]

One of the most accessible, pleasant and comforting games to ever hit a Nintendo console. [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 23]

Criticizing this art piece based on the standard semantics of most video games doesn't do it justice. While there is a story and a goal, and you use a controller to make the character interact with the world, this isn't really a game to be judged alongside Mario and Zelda. If you like the art, you should get the game to experience just how far the artists take the medium. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 20]

If you missed playing its DS version back in 2011, take this as an opportunity to change your own timeline and experience it now! [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 68]

Named after the developer's pet rabbit Murti and the Bartop style of arcade cabinet, Murtop feels a little different than your average retro '80s arcade throwback. And some of those differences might make things tough for it! [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 21]

The latest in an ever-burgeoning line of Metroidvania games being released on the Switch, and a rather good one at that! [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 20]

If you're looking for a game that will make you think and laugh at the same time, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one than this! [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 22]

The sense of empowerment, on top of the colorful cast and environments, is enough to inspire players to see the journey to its conclusion. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 21]

With a friend, family member or spouse, Snipperclips shines. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 19]

Over the course of about 10 hours, Paranormasight delivers what is undoubtedly one of the surprise gems of the year and represents a true triumph within the Japanese horror genre. Fans of both adventure games and visual novels should sink their teeth into this Western debut from a much-lauded visual novel dev team! [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 23]

Never Stop Sneakin' is stealth action at its most pure and whimsical. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 21]

Consider picking up Night Trap as a novelty for an afternoon or evening when you have friends over. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 22]

The best game in the series to date. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 17]
