Invincible VS is good. It’s a big game even if it feels small at times. Good production does it some nice favors and with DLC already lined up, hopefully Quarter Up and Skybound Games can take notes from the community, deliver some surprises, and forge some longevity

Kiln is an enjoyable concept and game that’s filled with soul as you’d expect from Double Fine Productions, the creators of Psychonauts and Headlander, but it currently lacks in content, and hopefully this is something that turns around sooner than later.

Set in early Edo-period Japan, a new Shogun is trying to stabilize the country, and he’s dependent on a small team of specialists to help secure that stability by putting down rebellions, completing covert operations, and being all-around badasses that no one can know about. This is Shadow Tactics.

Over the years, I’ve caught glimpses of these small, round creatures with gentle eyes and every time I’ve thought to myself, “That’s a Moomin. I don’t know how I know this, but I do.” I wasn’t aware of the fact they had been around since the 1940’s. Or that were created as a form of escapism and fear during World War 2 for Finnish author and painter, Tove Jansson. While playing Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth, I felt like it was finally time to learn about the history and lore behind the Moomin’s. Now, after doing so, every heart warming emotion I felt playing this makes so much more sense. This review will be spoiler free so you can still experience this cozy game with fresh eyes.

What is Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream? To me, it’s the experience of watching the man of my Mii’s dreams go back and forth on whether he’s going to ask them out. My Tomodachi Life is about the adventures of a giant praying mantis bonding with his roommates over their shared love of night terrors. It’s about watching a man in a hamster suit scream about golf clubs at the ocean. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is whatever you want it to be.

While it may be Falcom’s current longest-running series, the history of the Ys’ series is cloudy at best. Thought of by many to be a return to form for the series, “Ys IV” was actually made up of two games; there was Ys IV: Mask of the Sun for the Super Famicom and The Dawn of Ys for the PC Engine. Both games were sort of combined into one and remade into what later became Ys: Memories of Celceta, which came out on the Vita in 2013 followed by later releases on the PS4 and PC. Now, under the Ys Memoire label, the game is finally available on the Switch in the form of Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta.

itman is a decade old and successful, but not many studios have really done much with what makes it great. The dense, immersive sandbox environment made for such an amazing comedic stealth game with a ton of content. Nobody did much with it… at least, not until Snap & Grab from the fun indie developer No Goblin.

I was made aware of Titanium Court when a colleague posted a link to the trailer earlier this year. It was a most intriguing presentation, one which extolled the myriad reasons why no one should even consider playing the game. Thus, as I sit in my home office ruminating over my final verdict for this most unique of releases, it seems only proper to also evaluate the claims made in the video and verify their validity.

They say that food is a universal love language, and that’s a statement taken in different directions in Dosa Divas, the latest game to come out of Outerloop Games of Thirsty Suitors fame. Much like Thirsty Suitors before it, Dosa Divas is a quick romp with nods to other great games, but the story in this game is a more personal one connected to food. Unfortunately, once you figure out the game’s core loop, it becomes easy to coast no matter what flavors the story throws at you to spice things up.

Damn, poncle’s done it again. Vampire Crawlers is a wickedly-crafted, addicting, original game with enough potential depth to rival the Mariana Trench.

I’m not sure what rock I’ve been living under all this time, but clearly it’s been missing Bubsy, and in several dimensions. Bubsy 4D is the comeback game of a series that dates back to the early 90’s on the…
