Kirby Fighters 2 is a bit like what you’d get if you took Super Smash Bros and only themed it around everyone’s favorite pink puffball. It took me about 15 minutes to play through the game’s demo, during which only Story Mode was available to me. I was able to choose from three Kirby abilities…

I like to work on art and writing and was inspired by video games and movies and other such things. I love when I find creative stories and characters, and I try to make my own. So far, I've been unsuccessful, but I'm trying.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker – A Pleasant, But Padded, Puzzle Game
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a slow-paced puzzle game starring Captain Toad (and Toadette) where you explore various stages that you can rotate in order to look for secrets. The game is extremely generous, with roughly 80 stages that will have you seeking out hidden passages, moving and rotating platforms, riding minecarts, avoiding a dragon’s…
Spiritfarer: Demo Review
Described by the developers as a “cozy management game about dying”, Spiritfarer has you playing as Stella the ferrymaster, whose duty is to care for the spirits of the dead before sending them off into the afterlife. Right from the start, the game is quite a treat for the eyes, with the bright, cartoony art…
Top 5 Best Levels from Kaze and the Wild Masks
Kaze and the Wild Masks is a modern platformer disguised as a retro SNES game. The game makes little effort to hide the fact that it took clear inspiration from the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy from the 90’s, which many would agree are some of the best retro platformers of all time. In fact,…
Top 5 Worst Levels from Kaze and the Wild Masks
It’s become quite the trend lately to appeal to one’s nostalgia. So instead of making photo-realistic games with massive worlds and cinematic cut scenes, many developers are taking the opposite approach and crafting games that remind us of what got us into gaming in the first place. Kaze and the Wild Masks is one such…
Tears of the Kingdom is Bigger, But is it Better?
The short answer: yes. The long answer, however, is just a bit more complicated. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the long-anticipated sequel to the most ambitious entry into the Zelda franchise to date, Breath of the Wild. As the release date for this game neared, I couldn’t help but waver between…
Mythic Ocean: Demo Review
Mythic Ocean takes place in the ocean of a brand new world that you can shape by speaking to the various gods that inhabit it. The demo took me roughly 40-50 minutes, and during that time, I mainly wandered aimlessly about a few underwater environments that weren’t terribly interesting to explore and spoke at great…
The Duck’s Past Month with Tears of the Kingdom
Now that Tears of the Kingdom has been blessing our lives for roughly a month, I thought I’d return with another post to talk about my experiences with this truly massive game. In that time, I’ve made a whole lot of progress, and so I’ll only be able to discuss the highlights of my adventure,…
Greak: Memories of Azur: Demo Review
Greak: Memories of Azur is a fast-paced, 2D side-scroller that follows the story of three siblings who are trying to escape from their homeland during the Urlag invasion. In a manner similar to Trine and The Lost Vikings, you can eventually control all three characters, though the demo covers two, Greak and his sister Adara. …
Kaze and the Wild Masks is the Retro DKC Sequel We’ve Been Waiting For
While Kaze and the Wild Masks may have been released in 2021, this 2D platformer has a lot more in common with retro classics from the SNES era, most notably the Donkey Kong Country trilogy from the mid-90’s. Featuring beautiful pixel art and a soundtrack that already feels nostalgic, Kaze must save her friend Hogo…
