Glyph is a rather obscure indie game where you play as a scarab beetle. The demo covers three stages of increasingly sparse platforms, over which you can traverse by rolling like a ball, jumping up walls, and flying short distances. You can really pick up speed in this game and cross some mighty impressive distances,…

Yoshi’s Crafted World: Demo Review
Having never played Yoshi’s Wooly World, I was at least given a chance to play a small portion of the game’s successor, Yoshi’s Crafted World, thanks to a short demo available on the Switch. One of the biggest features that stand out with both games is the unique aesthetic. Where the former took place in…
Kirby Fighters 2: Demo Review
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…
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…
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…
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. …
Arms: Demo Review
Does anyone really remember Arms anymore? You know, that fighting game from 2017 where everyone had super stretchy arms? Considering Super Smash Bros is literally the only fighting series that I care to play, Arms was never a particular priority for me, even though I had to admit that I was somewhat intrigued by the…
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood: Demo Review
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is the sequel to Max & the Magic Marker and opens with a scenario that seems strangely similar to the plot of the movie Labyrinth from 1986. An older sibling gets tired of their annoying younger brother and wishes they would disappear, only to immediately set out to rescue said…
Monopoly for Nintendo Switch: Demo Review
Seeing as I had recently gotten back into playing traditional board games, I was curious to try out the Nintendo Switch version of the most classic board game of all, Monopoly. Surely most people are familiar with this game, where you buy property, try to get a monopoly by owning all property of a single…
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics: Demo Review
Considering Mother Duck and I have accumulated a small collection of physical games to play in recent months, I thought it would also be fun to try out a digital collection of physical games called Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics for the Switch. While the full game has, well, 51 games, the demo contains four,…
