A cool little puzzler for those who want something with more personality than the usual Picross game. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 24SW]

If you're looking for '90s nostalgia with a modern bent and don't mind being bombarded with silliness at every turn, Chroma Squad is ready to fight by your side. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 23]

More of a free-friendly mobile game than its predecessors in the Nintendo-aligned app space. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 28SW]

If you haven't played it and even remotely enjoy the prospect of ghostbusting, then it's absolutely worth a play! [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 16SH]

In short bursts, Shift DX doesn't wear out its welcome, and it has no shortage of "Eureka!" moments to share. [Issue #26 – March/April 2017, p.19]

I didn't expect to enjoy Disney Magical World 2 as much as I did. [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.72]

I was impressed with the concept. I just craved more of it and was left with a melancholy feeling myself once the memories ceased. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 19]

While Cannon Dancer – Osman is a wild piece of gaming history, the casual and curious may want to wait for a sale before traveling back in time to '90s Kalamazoo. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 21]

While each title has its own appeal, brawlers are inherently repetitive by nature, so the focus on a single style of gameplay can be exhausting after a bit. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 20]

It doesn't quite feel like the boundary- pushing fount of innovation the series was originally known for. [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 70]

If you're itching for a new take on the maze-action genre, Kokopolo is just the scratching, dashing cat to call! [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 21]

A game with such a grand reputation deserves better than this bare-minimum approach of a port. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 21]

I Am Setsuna is plagued by a lack of ambition when it comes to several aspects of its narrative, but as a whole it's a perfect pick-up-and-play JRPG. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 22]

If you dare to step inside the Pocket Dungeon, I'd recommend an extreme degree of caution and being prepared to dial the difficulty down right away. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 22]

I was charmed by the game from the get-go, but after an hour or so, I was a little worn out. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 24]

A fun and solid if not outstanding package, and definitely worth a look. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 22]

A charming design that puts an inventive twist on puzzle platformers. If you can stomach some moments of frustration, Snake Pass is certainly worth a look. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 25]

Your time may be better invested elsewhere. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 70]

A good port of a good game. Had it been given more time for extra bug testing, it might have been great! [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 69]

These three games are very much a product of their time, but underneath their flaws lies some of the best ninja action ever put in a video game. No matter how you slice it, (or what you slice it with) Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is an extraordinary value. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 19]

Trio of Towns needed something more substantial than just "furmiliars" to make it worthy of being the series' 20th anniversary title. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 70]

Make no mistake: Asha in Monster World is a fun game, and there's plenty here to enjoy. The game's delightful old-school framework is nice, even without being caked in a layer of nostalgia. There's a reason, after all, that Monster World IV warranted a remake in the first place. As far as HD remakes go, though, this isn't exactly Link's Awakening. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 23]

The problem with Wave Break being such a straight-up clone at its core is that it has a major barrier to entry. I was able to leap in well enough thanks to my own history playing Tony Hawk titles, but I could not recommend this game to anyone who doesn't also have experience with that series. The tutorial here is thin, and the gameplay will be nearly inscrutable to total newcomers. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 24]

It might be a little rough around the edges, but it's a glorious Zelda nostalgia trip with some fun action. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 75]

While I can't overlook the addition of a dedicated honk button, Mighty Goose just doesn't hold up past a few hours of play. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 25]

Sushi Striker takes a fresh new concept and gives it a fast-paced spin that will keep you entertained for many addictive hours. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 76]

It's a game where you literally can't lose. There are no Game Overs, just slight delays in your inevitable move through the plot. By refusing to say "No!" to the player with an occasional fail state, the game leads you to feel like your choices don't matter. It's oddly disempowering for a game about taking charge, and the main reason why I can't give this a more enthusiastic "Yes!" [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 26]

If you're ever feeling a bit villainous though or want to test your skills of manipulation, Overboard! is a fun one to dive into. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 27]
