Jenny LeClue: Detectivú Should be the Next Game You Play on Switch
Jenny LeClue: Detectivú fell under the radar for me despite positive press for this adventure game’s latest release in August on Nintendo Switch. Even without its recent 88% off sale on the Nintendo eShop, this stellar adventure game is well worth its $25 price tag. Originally kickstarted in 2014, Jenny LeClue: Detectivú is a narrative…

Watch Dogs: Legion: It is the Destination, Not the Journey – Review
Watch Dogs: Legion takes all of the cues from more recent Ubisoft games and blends them together for a decent if not flawed romp through the streets of London.

Untitled Goose Game: An Indie Masterpiece – Review
Untitled goose game perfectly mixes elements of stealth and puzzle into a game.

Gemini: An Indie Diamond – Review
Gemini is an indie game featuring an odd combination of tower defence, action, and rogue-lite. All your favourite features in one beautiful game. It is in the style of 2-bit, which I’m not usually a fan of. However, this game makes it an enjoyable experience that isn’t hard on the eyes. Unlike other tower defence…
