author image by David Rodriguez | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 16 Jun 2026

River City Saga: Journey to the West is one more River City/Kunio-kun fans than roguelite fans in my opinion as the elements from that series really make this game worth playing. For raw action roguelite enjoyment, there are better games for sure.

REVIEW – “R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos” embraces the darkness

author image by Filippo Dinolfo | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 15 Jun 2026

The first thing to bear in mind when picking up R-Type Tactics I+II Cosmos is the fact that the game does absolutely no handholding. You will begin the game, be given mission objectives, and a list of units, and you have to figure it out. There is a comprehensive manual and an Archives section, which are indispensable for getting anywhere in this game. This is the type of game that asks a lot of a player up front, but rewards them for making the time investment with a very rich, very intricate tactical RPG.

author image by Chris Penwell | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 28 May 2026

Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! brings the Nicktoons we know and love from Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Aang to the titular CatDog duo. While some of the graphics can be impressive, it is quite obvious that this is a port of the mobile game.

REVIEW – No complaints: “Mina the Hollower” exceeds all expectations

author image by Brandon Perkins | Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 27 May 2026
