It isn’t often that a video game comes around that changes the way I think about the medium. On the surface, The Sexy Brutale is a murder-mystery game with a unique Gothic art style. Dig deeper, however, and you’ll find that The Sexy Brutale is a mechanically deep and narratively […] Read More
In a world with fewer and fewer Diablo-esque action RPGs, the idea of Nine Parchments sounds like a breath of fresh air on Nintendo Switch. In practice, the game world is illustrious and gameplay fun, but odd mechanical and systematic decisions hold Nine Parchments back from being the Switch’s next […] Read More
Nintendo Switch has seen a number of games in its first year, but the racing genre seems to be the one with the least representation. With Fast RMX, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Gear.Club Unlimited being among the few of the racing genre’s only exemplars on Switch thus far, one could […] Read More
Rocket League was one of the year’s surprise hits when it launched as a free PlayStation Plus title back in 2015. Since then, the game has surpassed $110 million in revenue and, as of last year, had over 15 million players across three platforms—not to mention Rocket League is currently […] Read More

I bring my Nintendo Switch with me nearly everywhere I go: to work, to friends’ houses, and to social gatherings. Many of the social circles I frequent comprise of who I probably wouldn’t consider the “traditional” gamer; most people might have their particular game of choice, but by and large, […] Read More
There seems to be an inundation of top-down shooters coming to Switch these days, and JYDGE (pronounced “judge”) is the next in line. Billed by developer and publisher 10tons as both a prequel to and spinoff of Neon Chrome, JYDGE takes the basic formula of Neon Chrome and eschews the […] Read More
In a current ecosystem where pixel-art rogue-likes, 2D platformers, and side-scrolling adventure games are surging onto Switch, there isn’t much in the way of 3D platformers on the system (pre-Super Mario Odyssey, anyway).
