Xenoblade Chronicles – The Franchise I Cannot Wait for on Nintendo Switch 2
I’ve been a Nintendo fan for as long as I can remember, and being a fan of Nintendo means you probably gravitate towards specific games. For me, that’s anything Mario related. While I’m less of a fan of the Mario 2D entries, if a Mario game gets released there is a 99.9% chance that I’m going to play it. Reviewing games for the past decade has helped, but even if I didn’t, they would almost all be day one purchases…
Ink Board Game Review
Ink was definitely a frustrating game to learn as I don’t feel the rulebook was as good as it could be, but once we had our first game under our belts, the simplicity of the experience was really attractive. Simplicity doesn’t mean boring, though, and there is a good amount of strategy here to sink your teeth into. Is Ink a game that your group might attach to? Let’s take a look! In Ink, players will have 24 ink bottles…
Saltfjord Components Overview and Impressions
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Saltfjord and it is one of my most anticipated games of 2025. I’ve also heard the game lacks a nice and cohesive look, and after spending about an hour punching tiles and sorting pieces, I agree with that sentiment very much. While the components are top notch all around, the overall aesthetic of the game is very…dark? I don’t want to harp on the look of the game too much, only because I’ve…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Launching on Nintendo Switch 2
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was one of our favourite Assassin’s Creed titles in the modern console era, and for good reason – traveling across Japan was a blast, and the two character story arch was really fun to play out. Choosing when to use each of the two characters was better than I thought it would be, and while I did spend a lot of my time with just one, they both had their strengths for certain situations. All of this…
Can Two Point Museum Be Successful on Nintendo Switch 2?
Real Time Strategy and Tycoon games generally don’t perform favorably on consoles because they lack the key ingredient these games really do need: mouse support. Even though SEGA has done a great job handling controls for the Two Point County games, there is still no comparing controller and a mouse when it comes to this style game. That’s all changing with the launch of Two Point Museum on Nintendo Switch 2, at least I thought it was. In a recent…
Splendor Kids Components Overview and Impressions
While Splendor Kids does break one of my big no-no’s when it comes to production, I can’t help but be impressed with what Space Cowboys have done with this kid-friendly title. Far too often, companies think that since a game is for kids, the quality of the product can be lesser; that is never, and should never, be the case. Splendor Kids is almost the perfect production, regardless of the audience for the game. Let’s take a look at what…
Super Trains Board Game Review
A few years ago we had the pleasure of reviewing a fantastic kids game called The Quest Kids. The base game, along with the expansions, took kids gaming to the next level, and provided something that was not only fun for the young ones in our house, but for the adults as well. Treasure Falls Games is back with another fantastic kids experience, this time with trains! Is Super Trains as good as we think it should be based on…
ARK Ultimate Survivor Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Update
I’ve written numerous times about my love for gaming on the go. You can read my most recent article about Star Wars Outlaws to learn more about my philosophy. I can take worse graphics and worse performance, but not down right terrible. And frankly, ARK: Survival Evolved on Nintendo Switch was a hot mess from day one. Over the course of the games lifespan on the original Nintendo Switch, it did slowly get better. But the development team was hindered…
