I’ve never been a shoe guy, so this collaboration between Nike and The LEGO Group doesn’t excite me as much as it might others, but it is a great collaboration one-the-less. Nike will be releasing LEGO themed shoes, and LEGO will be releasing Nike themed LEGO sets. Whether you love LEGO or Nike, you cannot deny that in the past year or so, The LEGO Group has been working on great partnerships across multiple IPs including Nintendo (Super Mario and…

With the Nintendo Switch 2 launching on June 5th, here are a list of the top three games I’m most excited to try out when the console arrives. Nintendo of Canada has sent GamesReviews a console, Pro Controller, GameCube Controller and camera for review, along with Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour – prepare yourself for a ton of content over the next few weeks! Mario Kart World How can this NOT be on your list of…

When Ravensburger announced the first cooperative Disney Lorcana set that had players fighting against Ursula, I was instantly intrigued. However, the lack of product at launch locally to me, and a price that I found a bit too high, stopped me from picking it up and giving it a go. While I still think the price for this product is expensive, the latest cooperative release, Palace Heist, is so much better than the first release. If Disney Lorcana is your…

A Gentle Rain has finally landed at GamesReviews.com HQ, and let me be the first to say that I’m so happy to have this game in my personal collection. I’ve played it before and enjoyed the experience, but never owned a copy myself. So how does such a simple experience create such a positive atmosphere? Let’s take a look. In A Gentle Rain, one or more players will lay tiles down on the table connecting similarly colored lily pads in…

A while back we wrote a few articles about an ongoing Kickstarter project called Cretaceous Rails. The game had players creating train lines through a jungle, touring guests and allowing them to see dinosaurs in the wild, capturing dinosaurs, chopping down trees, and more. The game seemed pretty unique in what it was trying to accomplish, but unique doesn’t always mean success. While our review of the game will be a bit yet, let’s run down what you get in…

Unfortunately, I think the answer to this question is an emphatic “NO!” and that has nothing to do with personal preference. If I was handing out awards, baring some crazy surprises we don’t know about, I would be putting this experience right up there with the best of 2025, and for good reason. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, while not perfect, is a phenomenal game that is going to rob me of over 100 hours of my…

Big, grandiose games are not something we review often at GamesReviews.com because they take so much effort to get tabled, and require a decent player count to fairly review the product. We get a lot of these types of games into the office, but not all of them make it to the review stage. When one does make it, you know we are working with something that’s a bit better than everything else. Storm Raiders is that game, and although…

About six weeks ago, I attended Canada Plays 2025 hosted by Asmodee Canada. At the event, I had the pleasure of connecting with AJ from Kolossal Games and while this specific game we are reviewing today wasn’t on the table for me to see, AJ opened up the Kolossal Games catalogue to me and I’m so thankful he did. Western Legends is a pretty old game at this point, but still one worth looking into. If you’ve been missing this…

Roll and Write, or Flip and Write games are a huge hit in the Roffel household, and for good reason. They are easy to transport, can be played almost anywhere, and are generally pretty quick while offering a great experience. Trails of Tucana ticks all of these boxes so it’s one that won’t be leaving our collection anytime soon. However, just because it works for us doesn’t mean it will work for you! Let’s take a look at Trails of…
