Snowcrest Board Game Review

Snowcrest is likely to be a divisive game, and even when I wasn’t having the most fun with the experience, I was still intrigued by the process. It’s been a while since a single game has given me wildly different gameplay experiences which makes it hard to decide whether this one will stick around long term or not. That said, there are some great mechanisms here, so at the very least I’ll encourage you to research and not just take…

Parks Second Edition Components Overview and Impressions

Recently, Keymaster Games sent over their second edition of Parks, the popular game of traveling and collecting cards with National Parks on them by moving campers across the board, getting resources and other things. Parks generally isn’t my favourite experience, but I’ve always disliked it because it felt really disjointed. This new production might solve that issue for me, but only time will tell. Let’s take a look! As with any Keymaster Games production, Parks Second Edition looks phenomenal. Regardless…

A New Animal Crossing Needs to Come Now, Not Later

It is inevitable that Nintendo will release an Animal Crossing game on the Nintendo Switch 2, and based on the popularity of the original – which MAY have been inflated by COVID – I expect a new game to be even bigger, and even better. Even if the number of people who played on Nintendo Switch was inflated by the pandemic, Nintendo needs to cash in on that desire for a similar experience now, not later. Releasing Animal Crossing early…

More Thoughts From Me: Back to Ivalice

On the PlayStation 1, a Final Fantasy game came out that was totally different from what we’d seen before. Final Fantasy Tactics took a turn-based strategy rpg approach and became a true classic. And this year, that game returns with The Ivalice Chronicles. Back in the PlayStation 1 days, I played a game called Final Fantasy 7. Thats the game that hooked me on rpgs. After that, I had to play every rpg and especially every Final Fantasy I could…

10 Donkey Kong Bananza

 

Donkey Kong 64 was one of my favorite games of all time, and unsurprisingly I think my love for 3D Donkey Kong made me somewhat loathe 2D Donkey Kong games. It could be that I was terrible at them, but it also meant that each time a 2D Donkey Kong was released, I knew another 3D entry was even further in the future. Ideally, Nintendo would have remastered Donkey Kong 64 a few years ago or released it on Switch…

 

9.5 Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

 

When Death Stranding first launched in 2019, it was one of the most polarizing games of its generation. Some called it a walking simulator. Others saw it as a bold re-imagining of what games could be. But love it or hate it, Hideo Kojima’s vision was impossible to ignore. Now, nearly six years later, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach arrives not just as a sequel, but as a statement—a deeply personal, often ...

 

6.0 One Step After Fall

 

In a gaming landscape dominated by high-octane action and sprawling open worlds, One Step After Fall dares to slow things down. It’s a quiet, introspective walking simulator that trades combat and puzzles for emotional storytelling and minimalist design. But does this subdued approach deliver a meaningful experience—or does it stumble under the weight of its own ambition? At the heart of One Step After Fall is ...

 

8.5 KARMA: The Dark World

 

KARMA: The Dark World is a psychological thriller that throws players into a dystopian surveillance state where memory, identity, and morality are constantly shifting. Inspired by classics like Twin Peaks, Alan Wake, and Silent Hill, this game blends sci-fi horror with deep philosophical questions, offering a narrative-rich experience that’s both unsettling and thought-provoking. Set in a world ...

 

8.5 Rematch

 

It’s rare a game comes along that feels exciting and original, building on other achievements in its genre but also managing to be something new. Rematch is one of those games. The controls are simple, the physics are deadly but rewarding and the team game – when it’s played right – is some of the best I’ve seen. Some people are calling Rematch a mix of Rocket League and EA FC, and ...

 

8.0 Supercar Collection Simulator

 

Supercar Collection Simulator is a collector’s dream turned digital reality. Developed by Kiki Games, this simulation game lets you run a diecast car shop, blending the thrill of unboxing rare collectibles with light business management, racing, and trading mechanics. Think of it as a spiritual sibling to TCG Card Simulator, but with a glossy automotive twist. You start with a modest shop and gradually expand ...

6.0 Alchemists

 

“Alchemists” is a cooperative horror game that combines elemental magic with ghost-hunting mechanics. Up to four players take on the roles of modern-day alchemists, using the classical elements—air, fire, water, and earth—to perform rituals and cleanse haunted locations. The concept is intriguing, and the game’s eerie environments initially promise a chilling, team-based adventure. Unfortunately, ...

 

8.0 Hotel Architect

 

Hotel Architect immerses players in the fast-paced, frequently chaotic realm of hotel administration, where visitor satisfaction, logistics, and innovation all come together. This simulation game, created by Pathos Interactive and published in May 2025, seeks to establish a niche in a market already dominated by industry titans like SimTower and Two Point Campus. But is it just another prefab project, or does it ...

 
 

9.0 Demon’s Souls

 

You may have heard that Demon’s Souls is pretty tough. That’s not entirely accurate. The truth is that Demon’s Souls is very, very simple. Everything about it is signposted. It wants you to exploit every inch of it. Enemies show what they’re doing from a million miles away. There’s always somewhere to hide, or to run to. And now, with the arrival of the remake on PS5, you have over ...

 

8.0 Walking Dead Season 2

 

Last year, Telltale elevated point and click games to a new level with their first season of the award-winning The Walking Dead. Creating a follow-up to that fantastic set of titles was a difficult task for Telltale, and they mostly succeeded. While there are moments of brilliance, season two doesn’t reach the level of excellence that season one was able to achieve.

 

6.5 NASCAR ’14

 

Racing games can generally be played in a variety of ways. While those that love Gran Turismo the most might play it as a simulator, it's just as easy to experience it as some approximation of Mario Kart, crashing into other vehicles on long bends or swinging onto the grass when necessary. NASCAR '14 is all about tight lines and clever driving, a fact that makes it both very playable and undoubtedly niche.

 

9.0 Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster

 

Cybernet was a video game focussed TV show here in the UK back when the PS2 launched. When they weren't showing and reshowing the opening of Metal Gear Solid 2, they were showing and reshowing clips from Final Fantasy X. Look at the graphics! Look at the characters! And, oh, they've got voices as well!

 

6.5 Pac-Man Museum

 

Video gaming's first yellow circular celebrity has turned 30 this year, and instead of getting trashed with friends Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, he's taking a trip down memory lane, through the highlights (and low-lights) of his prestigious career.

 

6.5 Killer is Dead

 

Killer is Dead is a hard game to pin down. You play as an executioner for a government agency that hunts out murderers for the general public. It plays a little like something from Platinum, a third-person action game with an anime flair. That flair runs deeper than just the visual style though, and a unique fantastical twist makes it all the more unusual. Expect blood, whimsy, sex, adventure and intrigue.

7.5 IXION

 

The space-based experience of existential silence is captured with such precision by IXION that it evokes chilling sensations. The Administrator of Tiqqun, a massive space station carrying the last vestiges of humanity, is responsible for managing both resources and optimism. With the PlayStation 5, you’ll feel an even heavier load. The Tiqqun’s utilitarian beauty was a sight to behold as I booted ...

 

8.5 The Precinct

 

The Precinct challenges the norm in a gaming world where players are playing as criminals, but it’s not an exception. It has its own unique twist. In Averno City, 1983, a game with neon lights and crime-filled streets, you must wear the badge instead of avoiding it. In the movie, you follow Nick Cordell Jr, the son of a well-regarded police officer, as he endeavors to gain recognition while solving the ...

 

7 Care Bears: Unlock The Magic

 

Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is a wonderful arcade adventure game that brings the popular Care Bears franchise to life as a game.

There are two main modes provided by the game: Adventure Mode and Free ...

 

8.5 Sonic X Shadow Generations

 

When I was told that Sonic Generations was the weakest part of this package, I let out an audible sigh. SEGA remasters are always met with these kinds of comments. I still feel the reactions to the Shenmue set. And yet the truth is Sonic X Shadow Generations really does prove that the best of the Blue Blue is ahead of him… and it took a game starring Shadow to prove it. Sonic Frontiers was brilliant, ...

 

8.5 Lego Horizon Adventures

 

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a delightful fusion of the iconic LEGO aesthetic and the captivating world of Horizon Zero Dawn. This action-adventure game offers a unique and charming experience, perfect for both longtime Horizon fans and newcomers alike.

7.5 Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

 

The biggest change to the Borderlands formula in Pre-Sequel - aside from the game's setting, which affects gameplay and aesthetics in a number of ways - are the game's character classes, all based on characters previously seen in the series. These new classes will still serve familiar roles on the battlefield

 

7.5 Trials Fusion

 

Trials Fusion is the newest title in the physics-defying bike series. In this game, you have to earn medals across a variety of tracks. You earn the medals through completing these stages in a certain time, and beneath a certain crashes. If you're worried about crashing, there are a lot of checkpoints throughout, which you'll soon find are very much needed. The game gets quite difficult at the end, and earning ...

 

6.5 Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

 

PopCap did a lot of things right when they developed Plants vs Zombies for every platform imaginable - Mac, PC, Xbox, Playstation, DS, iOS, and Android - and the success of that game has led to multiple sequels. Plants vs Zombies 2's free to play model scared some since it was a departure from the original set-price model, however, PopCap again delivered a solid product, and one that did not require any ...

When it comes to phone reviews and GamesReviews, you know we focus on these devices as things for the common person, those wanting to play games, listen to some music, and watch some videos.

8.5 Xenoblade Chronicles X

 

With the upcoming launch of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch, we thought we would re-share some of our old Xenoblade Chronicles reviews, starting with Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Nintendo Wii U! If you haven't played this game, and have access to a Wii U, it's a fantastic experience!

 

6.5 Revenant Saga

 

Revenant Saga is rpg developer KEMCO's newest game for the Wii U. I played this game and now I can tell you all about it! Is Revenant Saga a good rpg?

 

6.5 Animal Gods

 

Wii U indie games are starting to become a rare thing. Whenever a new Wii U game comes out, I find myself smiling and hoping that its a good game. Anmal Gods for Wii U came out last week. I have been playing it for review and I'm finally ready to share with what I thought of the game.

 

8.5 Back to Bed

 

One of the best things about Indies is that they are not afraid of being weird. Indies generally take more chances than third party developers and create games that are unique and interesting. Not all of these unique and interesting games are good, but I love how Indies are willing to experiment. Take, for instance, Back to Bed for Wii U. You would not see a third party, maybe not even a first party developer, ...

 

8.0 Plantera

 

If Harvest Moon and a cute 2D tower defense game had a love child, it might look like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS eshops. Build a garden, add animals, and defend that garden like crazy from outside threats! Plantera sounds like it might be a good game for simulation and tower defense fans…but is it? The Wii U and 3DS versions of Plantera have some differences but the basic gameplay is the same between ...

 
 

4.0 Z-Run

 

To many people, the Playstation Vita is a system known best for only its Indies and its ports. When I saw the trailer for Vita Indie game Z-Run, I was shocked to find out it wasn't a port from a mobile game. With its poor visuals, simple Temple Run style gameplay and lack of depth, I was sure that Z-Run was a zombie re-skin of some dime-a-dozen endless runner, build for mobile technology and quickly ported to ...

 

8.5 Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc

 

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc is a zany experience filled with boundless creativity. Developed by Spike Chunsoft (the studio responsible for similar games in the Zero Escape series), and originally released for the PSP all the way back in 2010, Danganronpa has spawned an anime and manga over in Japan before its port to the Vita this year; and it’s easy to see why.

 

8.0 Surge Deluxe

 

The match 3 puzzle genre has been lacking innovation as of late. Thankfully, Futurlab has an extraordinary habit of changing up the ‘norm’ and Surge Deluxe is certainly no exception!!

 

9.0 Tearaway

 

Tearaway is, simply put, a creative gem. It’s a game solely created to showcase the power of Vita’s hardware, and just how pleasant of an experience a videogame can be.

 

8.0 Street Fighter X Tekken

 

Street Fighter X Tekken was kind of a big deal when it was first announced, and perhaps even helped the Mortal Kombat remake to herald in a new wave of fighting titles. Along with its companion title, the long presumed dead Tekken X Street Fighter, Street Fighter X Tekken was going to combine two of the biggest names in fighting, dozens of the most recognisable characters, all within a blended style that meant ...

 

9.5 Persona 4 Golden

 

Atlus has always been known to deliver niche JRPG experiences; games that don’t sell well but are critical darlings. They have plenty of exceptional titles under their belt such as Catherine and Shin Megami Tensei IV, but Persona 4 is quite possibly their finest work yet. The fourth entry in the Persona series originally made its debut on the PS2 back in 2008. The game was met with immense critical reception, so ...

 
 

7.0 Cycle Chaser H-5

 

2D sidescrolling shooters is a classic genre that’s been around forever. Cycle Chaser H-5 is the newest game for Nintendo Switch that dives into that genre. Is it as fun game?

9.0 Yo-Kai Watch 3

 

Although the Yo-Kai Watch franchise is gaining some traction in the West - more so in Europe and less so in the United States and Canada - there are still many gamers and anime fans out there who know little, if anything, about the franchise itself. To them, the name Jibanyan and Whisper mean nothing, and if you mention the town of Springdale, most people are likely to ask, "Do you mean Springfield, like in the ...

 

9.0 Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s I...

 

In my preview for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser's Jr's Journey I mentioned that I had never played Bowser's Inside Story before. So when it came time to do my review, I decided to not compare the game to the original. In fact, I decided to not compare the game to previous Mario & Luigi games at all. Basically I wanted to ask: Is Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey a good game(s)?

 

8.0 WarioWare Gold

 

I’ve been playing video games for a few decades now, and I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never played a WarioWare game in my life. When the game launched a few weeks ago, I began watching video of our good friend Abdallah Smash, and instantly thought, “That looks like a lot of fun.” Well, now I have played it; what did I think? Let’s dive in!

 

9.5 Dragon Lapis

 

I’ve been enjoying Dragon Lapis for the 3DS a lot. Check out my preview of the game here. And now its time for my review of Dragon Lapis. Is this a 3DS rpg that you’ll want to download? I like how Dragon Lapis starts with a cutscene that gives us background into its world. As the game continues, we get a lot more world building and interesting plot twists. All of the characters in this game are ...

 

8.0 Detective Pikachu

 

Even if you are not a long time fan of the Pokémon franchise, there is one thing you probably do know: Pokémon don’t talk to humans and humans don’t talk to Pokémon. Sure, based on emotions of a Pokémon - or even their actions - a good trainer can determine what a Pokémon is thinking or feeling; but to actually talk to one? That is basically unheard of. So when we learned about the popular Japanese Detective ...

 
 

8.0 Ruffy and the Riverside

7.0 Finding Frankie

 

With the prevalence of mascot horror and indie thrillers in the gaming industry, Finding Frankie endeavors to blend the thrill-seeking excitement of parkour with the spine-chilling terror associated with a twisted game show. Created by Superlou, this brief yet captivating adventure challenges players to complete an obstacle course in a life-or-death scenario, aided by the spooky cartoon mascot Hogan. The game ...

Originally released in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion changed the standards for open-world RPGs.

Oblivion Remastered now, nearly two decades later, comes not just as a visual facelift but also as a creative reinterpretation that treads the line between respect and innovation. Created in partnership ...

9 Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2: Who ...

 

Who knew that in 2020, the idea of playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a handheld felt about as realistic as becoming a cybernetically enhanced samurai overnight. The game was enormous, ambitious, and barely ran on last-gen consoles at launch. We all remember how Cyberpunk 2077 had a rough start, and the game had to undergo many updates and hot fixes, especially with the 2.0 update, which included extra story content, ...

 

8.0 HITMAN World of Assassination

 

A Killer Comeback IO Interactive’s HITMAN World of Assassination makes its calculated leap to the Nintendo Switch 2 and for the first time, it does so natively rather than through cloud streaming. Which results in a deeply satisfying stealth sandbox experience that surprisingly holds up on Nintendo’s portable powerhouse. Classic HITMAN, Fully Intact a Sharper Suit and Smoother Silhouettes Across the ...

 

Nintendo Switch 2 Console

 

Whenever a new console launches, there is going to be obvious excitement for the possibilities. Each console, as is normal, comes with its own set of issues or perceived issues, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no different. While comments and critiques of price were fairly commonplace leading up to the console’s launch, the rhetoric has died down, and for good reason. Is it possible the Nintendo Switch 2 is ...

 

Nintendo Switch 2 Camera and Game...

 

Earlier this week, I hooked up my Nintendo Switch 2 Camera to my Nintendo Switch 2 console and hopped online with fellow Canadian media members, members of the Nintendo of Canada PR team, and Jose Otero from Nintendo Treehouse for a one hour session around GameChat. GameChat was detailed quite a bit in the Nintendo Direct that we saw just before launch, and while it seemed like a cool new concept, I wasn’t sure ...

 

9.0 Mario Kart World

 

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is easily the most played Nintendo Switch game in the Roffel household, one that has been played, on average, once a week since launch. With all the tracks added via the DLC launches, there was always fierce competition to be had. With the announcement of Mario Kart World during the last Nintendo Direct, we were all pretty excited about the future of the franchise. With the promise of an open ...

Villainous: Treacherous Tides Review

Two new characters have been added to the Villainous world and I was wildly excited about one of them, and utterly disinterested in the other. Coming out of the experience, though, I thought both Davey Jones and Tamatoa were excellent editions, and I love having them as options for others to play. If you own a ton of Villainous already, I’m guessing you probably are going to pick this up. But if you are a bit more choosy about what…

Solar Gardens Board Game Review

Generally, it takes us a few weeks at a minimum to review a board game, making sure we’ve played it an adequate number of times, tried different modules, etc. With Solar Gardens, we played this one so much so quickly, it’s only been about 10 days and here we are writing our review. If the amount we’ve played this game in such a short time span doesn’t tell ya, then I will: Solar Gardens is an easy to learn, easy…

While the original Barony was perfectly fine – it had a really nice table presence to be sure – getting your hands on the Sorcery expansion wasn’t easy. Now, that’s all included in this relaunch! We did a complete review of all the components in Barony,…

Solar Gardens Components Overview and Impressions

Darrington Press recently sent over their latest title, Solar Gardens, and we were really excited to get this one opened and reviewed. We have previously looked at Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past and the production of that game was incredible! With that in the back of my mind, I assumed we would be getting an equally impressive production here. I was not disappointed. Solar Gardens is not going to be a cheap game at retail, and at first glance you…

Snowcrest Board Game Components Overview and Impressions

When games do something that’s just a bit different in their production, I’m always going to be intrigued. Sometimes going against the grain works out really well, and sometimes it falls flat. I think the production of Snowcrest is going to be a divisive one – some people are going to love it, and others are going to hate it. After a few plays of the game, I’m not sure where I sit for now, but leaning towards loving it.…
