In recent years, I’ve been finding myself increasingly interested in playing relaxing games, so when I downloaded the demo for Summer in Mara, I was quite curious to see if this was the next casual game to add to my library. This game seems like it could be a bit like Harvest Moon meets Animal…

Transistor: Freezing Time in the Virtual City of Cloudbank
Having finally played the critically acclaimed Bastion, I decided it was finally time to check out another one of Supergiant’s games, Transistor. The game takes place in a futuristic cyber city known as Cloudbank and follows the story of Red, a famous singer whose voice has been stolen. She quickly teams up with the Transistor,…
Miitopia is Way Better Than It Has Any Right to Be
When I initially saw a partial playthrough of the original 3DS release of Miitopia on YouTube, my expectations were low. You see, I’ve never been a big fan of Mii’s. For me, these simple, customizable characters were just not very appealing, and so I expected Miitopia to be a shallow and dull experience. I was…
The Procession to Calvary has its ups and downs but mostly gets it just right
I’m not very good at keeping up with Game Pass games, so when I caught wind of The Procession to Calvary‘s imminent departure from the service, I’d no clue if it had been there for months or weeks. Regardless, I jumped on the opportunity just in time to catch the game. Thankfully, it was short…
Silt is a Delightfully Unsettling Experience
I’m always on the hunt for horror games that aren’t filled with gore and ghouls. One such game is Silt, where you play as a mysterious scuba diver with the power to possess other creatures. The game is more eerie than outright scary, making for an experience that is both unsettling and relaxing.

Figment 2: Creed Valley is an upcoming adventure game that takes place in the human mind. It is scheduled for release on October 15, 2022, but if you’re not inclined to wait, there is a demo on the Switch that grants players access to the game’s first level (though I saw videos online that showed…
Cogen: Sword of Rewind: Demo Review
Cogen: Sword of Rewind is a 2D action game where you have the ability to rewind time by up to 3 seconds using the Ouroboros System, a feature of Kohaku’s talking sword, ExeBreaker. In a way, the game gave me some old-school Mega Man vibes, with the high difficulty, side-scrolling gameplay, and the buttload of…
Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer: Demo Review
Cadence of Hyrule is a rhythm-adventure game that takes place in the world of The Legend of Zelda! Apparently, some guy named Octavo put the King of Hyrule to sleep with his magic, and it’s up to Link (and several other playable characters) to defeat Octavo and his four champions. Although I’m typically not a…
Raji: An Ancient Epic: Demo Review
Raji: An Ancient Epic is one of those intriguing looking games I had my eye on for a while. Set in ancient India and based on Hindu mythology, the game follows Raji’s adventure to rescue her little brother Golu, who was kidnapped by demons. The unique setting and theme of the game really helps it…
WarioWare: Get It Together! Demo Review
In case you’re not familiar, the WarioWare series consists of a bunch of quirky “microgames” that must be completed within several seconds. Though I had watched people play a handful of these games on YouTube in the past, it wasn’t until I downloaded the demo for WarioWare: Get It Together! on the Switch that I…
VIRTUAL BASTION
