It had to happen eventually! [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 24SW]

Raise a frothy mug with Etrian Odyssey Nexus. It's a worthy goodbye party. [Issue #39 – May/June 2019, p. 76]

The team that created Wizorb at Tribute Games have gone on to great things in the last 10 years. It's fun to be able to turn back the clock and revisit some of their earlier work, especially when you can tell that their talent was already firmly established even in 2011. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 17]

Go ahead and treat yourself to a delightful afternoon of spreading havoc all over a quaint town. You won't regret it! [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 25SW]

If you're like me and can't get enough classic-style golf, give Easy Come Easy Golf a try. It's not quite a hole-in-one, but still a sub-par game. (That's good, right?) [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 25]

This one is more of a crowd-pleaser than a game-changer. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 68]

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom appears to have been well worth the wait. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 71]

Overall, this is a great, well-curated collection and a wonderful way to mark the milestone of SNK turning 40 years old! [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 72]

Punch Club is one of the best fantasies about being a grown-up that I've ever played. [Issue #26 – March/April 2017, p.19]

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet definitely suffer from underdone development, and I hope the final behind-the-scenes reaction at Nintendo and Game Freak is to give the series' dev team more time to work on future sequels. We don't need new generations so often! But the adventure of these games, the wonderful new set of Pokémon, the winning cast of human characters and a sensational story all work to save the experience and make them worth playing and enjoying, warts and all. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 75]

This collection is such a great value that I'd be hard-pressed not to recommend it. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 73]

I'd first encourage you to play the Wii U version if you have the means, but if you don't own a Wii U, this 3DS take is still great. [Issue #26 – March/April 2017, p.73]

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet definitely suffer from underdone development, and I hope the final behind-the-scenes reaction at Nintendo and Game Freak is to give the series' dev team more time to work on future sequels.

It works well as a game you can just pick up and poke at as desired to kill just a bit of time. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.28]

There's so much to see and do that you won't want to stop playing! [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.24]

Bravely Second is a superb sequel and stands among the upper echelon of 3DS and Japanese RPGs. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.68]

Flinthook could have been a perfect 10. As it stands, it's still more than worth latching onto. [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 18]

A vibrant invitation to a new kind of fighter. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.70]

Pikmin 1 is now playable on the Switch, and it has a natural HD facelift as a result of being on the newer hardware, but it doesn't offer anything extra or new beyond that. It's been pulled back out of the past and made available again, and that's it! And honestly, for a great game like this, that can be enough. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 18]

It's wonderfully rewarding when you execute the plans you've made in your brain and see them actually work as intended. [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 24]

Astalon's quality is undeniable. Its character animation, puzzles and power-up progression are all top- notch, and the copious extras (like a mode where you play as one of the campaign's reoccurring bosses), all show that this was a labor of love. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 18]

A well-built racer that certainly stands up to the legendary pedigree of the F-Zero series. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 21]

It's a delight of sight and sound, and more than anything, I hope this isn't the last we'll see of the Bard's endearing brand of heartwarming positivity. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 24]

Not every Toy-Con is a masterpiece, but the variety of the Variety Kit makes the whole set absolutely worth your consideration. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 69]

As a total package, Mario Party Superstars is indeed pretty super. But is it more super than Super Mario Party? That's the real question, now that the Switch is hosting two distinctly different Mario soirées. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 71]

Without the context of what came before it, the mechanics will likely come off as overly complicated, and the story would lose most if not all of its meaning. Once you've played its prequels though, Blaster Master Zero 3 stands as one of the most well- made games of its kind, and delivers the promised conclusion that the series deserves. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 21]

If you've got a kid in your life who's never played Pokémon before? Buy this game immediately. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 67]

I'm sure you can agree that 12 classic fighters, including not one, not two, but four with online play, all for $40, is more than a fair match for your money. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 73]
