“Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble” Review

by Alex Quevedo | Nintendo Switch Reviews | 0 Comments | 17 Jul 2024

For my first foray into Super Monkey Ball, I had an enjoyable time. It’s goofy but needs to be taken just seriously enough or else you’ll find yourself flying off the courses time and time again.

“Until Then” Review

by Danreb Victorio | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 28 Jun 2024

When I found out about Polychroma Games and Until Then, it’s been on my radar ever since, and while it has a few rough edges (especially in some of its minigames), the game easily surpassed every expectation I had.

“Until Then” Review in Progress

by Danreb Victorio | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews | 0 Comments | 25 Jun 2024

There’s a lot to love about what I played so far. The story, in my mind, was beautifully told, but the content kind of makes the game far from cozy even though there really isn’t too much gameplay aside from mundane minigames to really speak of.

“Little Kitty, Big City” Review

Nobody is playing the game for its polish. We’re playing it because it’s chill, and cats are cool.

“Tales of Kenzera: Zau” Review

by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 08 May 2024

Here’s to hoping that Tales of Kenzera: Zau becomes the first in a long-running series, and that Abubakar Salim is back at the helm, because I want more. Or let’s give Surgent Studios the Black Panther license.

“Princess Peach: Showtime!” Review

by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch Reviews | 0 Comments | 12 Apr 2024

Good-Feel did an amazing job making Princess Peach: Showtime! an extremely fun and enjoyable game that’s even better when sharing the experience with others; however it lacks the polish that games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder or Tears of the Kingdom have, and it’s a real shame.

“Pepper Grinder” Review

by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch PC Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 01 Apr 2024

Pepper Grinder is a fantastic experience and while you’ll probably only need three hours to finish it, the amount of enjoyable and memorable moments easily make it one of the best experiences of the year so far,

“Balatro” Review

by Filippo Dinolfo | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox One Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 18 Mar 2024

When you look at the gaming landscape today, it’s so vast and deep that it becomes hard to find new games you might want to play. Not so much because they don’t exist, but because you just don’t hear about…

“Persona 3 Reload” Review

Atlus has returned to the world of Persona 3 with a ground-up remake that utilizes the lessons learned from Persona 4 and Persona 5, both improving greatly on the original… while also showing how much the series has improved since.
