Clockwork Ambrosia is a game that takes that concept and goes in a fascinating, different direction, focusing instead on letting the player modify their weapons. To put it simply, I absolutely enjoyed my time with this game and its weapon mod mechanics.

Directive 8020 is worth the journey, despite a few rough detours. The performances are superb, and most of the writing is effective. However, there are way too many stealth sections.

When I first got my hands on a demo of Mixtape at Summer Game Fest last year, I knew it was going to be special. I knew it as soon as I put on the headphones and started vibing to…

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is a game that had my attention as soon as I laid my eyes on it. I vividly remember the game at the corner of the room at Day of the Devs: San Francisco Edition in 2025 with a line that would never end, but I was fine with not playing it because it just wasn’t the right atmosphere for it. Luckily for me, it was featured at the first Steam Next Fest this year, and I loved what I played in the demo, despite it toying with my anxiety.

Wax Heads still understood me on a level that another game really hasn’t in the 30 years I’ve been playing them. I laughed (a lot), I cried (a bit), I smiled (endlessly).

I’d been patiently waiting for Motorslice for actual years. Seeing as so much of the game has you cut down robots in a manner reminiscent of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, I was sold from the get-go. However, it’s not really an action game, focusing more on a Prince of Persia-esque experience. While there are many things to like about it, some baffling control issues significantly damage the game. I don’t regret playing it, but I do hope the devs improve the controls in the coming weeks to make the game less aggravating.

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.
