Shutter Nyan: Demo Review

Shutter Nyan is a puzzle-platformer about a cat with a camera who wants to cheer up its owner.  The game has a simple, mostly black and white artstyle with splashes of color, namely when it comes to the objects that you can photograph.  Certain objects can be photographed and then duplicated anywhere you want in…

Pompom: The Great Space Rescue: Demo Review

Pompom: The Great Space Rescue follows the story of a hamster named Pompom who must rescue his human friend Hoshi after he was kidnapped by pirate cats.  Based on the screenshots, I expected the game to be akin to Super Mario World if Mario was replaced by a hamster.  But when I started the demo,…

Lunistice: Demo Review

Lunistice is yet another one of those countless modern platformers that were made with our nostalgia in mind.  But instead of mimicking the graphical style of old SNES titles, this game is inspired by the 32-bit graphics of PS1 and Sega Saturn.  Lunistice stars the adorable tanuki, Hana, who can run and double jump through…

Unbound: Worlds Apart: Demo Review

Unbound: Worlds Apart is a platformer with lovely, hand-drawn graphics and a unique concept.  You see, you must use portals to navigate your environment and solve puzzles.  The demo showcases three of these, but the game’s description boasts ten in total.

The Company Man: Demo Review

On the surface, The Company Man might seem like your average 2D platformer, until you consider the game’s rather unique theme: office work.  You see, you play as a guy named Jim, who was just hired at the Good Water Company.  Although it’s only his first day, Jim’s a rather ambitious fellow indeed, as he’s…

Youropa: Demo Review

Youropa is a rather bizarre puzzle game that opens with an upside down view of the Eiffel Tower floating into the sky, along with various chunks of Paris’ streets.  Your character is a faceless humanoid who appears to come to life once paint falls on it, after which you’ll begin your sky-high adventure by traversing…

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: Demo Review

Several years ago, a bizarre crossover was released, which combined the popular Super Mario Bros franchise with Ubisoft’s Rabbids.  As much as Wikipedia wants to insist that the Rabbids are popular and well-loved, I’ve always heard a different story, and I myself have always found the crazy bunnies to be similar to those yellow Minions…

Papetura: Demo Review

Papetura is a unique puzzle game that looks as if it’s made entirely of paper.  The demo opens to find the main character inside some sort of cocoon, where he proceeds to hide in fear when a shadowy figure appears at the entrance.  While this game, at first glance, is rather intriguing, the demo does…

Nintendo Switch Online Has Gotten Good, But it Needs to be Great

I’ve found it easy over the years to rag on Nintendo for the stunning lack of quality of its online services. Nintendo just struggles when it comes to internet functionality, and they’re certainly still lagging behind their competitors even now. Still though, they’ve made progress, and that should be noted too. I don’t know if…
