At the end of Saints Row’s prologue, the “boss” shares a sly smile with the audience when one of their cohorts says that they’ve done just about everything there is to be done. It’s a clear nod to the fact that Deep Silver Volition (from the start?) made the Saints Row reboot into a live…

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…

Featuring beautiful pixel art and a soundtrack that already feels nostalgic, Kaze must save her friend Hogo…

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,…
