Metroid Dread came out today and…Nintendo Canada gave us a review copy of the game! We just got it today, so the following is very early impressions of the game. Is the new Metroid dreadful? Metroid Dread is out now! And we’ve had a chance to check it out a little bit. We’re pretty early into the game but so far… This game is awesome!

Last night, I received a review code for Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan for the Nintendo Switch. I’m still very early on in the game, but I had talk about it! This game already has me hooked. Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan feels like a Nickelodeon cartoon mixed with Paper Mario: Color Splash and the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. It an action, adventure rpg where you are tasked with restoring color to the world while…

Far Cry 6 takes a somewhat different approach, and provides more varied experiences, from the thick jungles to the big cities, there is something for everyone in Yara!

Far Cry 6 has been one of my favourite games this year - I've enjoyed the story, how it unfolds, and the cool people you meet along the way. These are all staples of the Far Cry franchise, and most open world Ubisoft franchises for that matter. But the more I play Far Cry 6, the more I became concerned. "I'm not clearing the map! WHY AM I NOT CLEARING THE MAP!"

Is 2021, and Far Cry 6 is helping us do what we already do in real life all the time - play on our phones, a lot. In previous Far Cry games, we often would use a set of binoculars to scout out enemy bases, tagging enemies, and more. That made a ton of sense, and was enjoyable enough of an experience. While I'm happy that the new tagging system highlights the weaknesses of enemies, I'm having a bit of difficulty extending my belief to tagging using a camera on a cell phone.

A group of writers here at GamesReviews have been playing through Far Cry 6 so we can provide you tons of content right ahead of launch. While some writers are plowing through the main story in order to bring you reviews, I'm taking a more relaxed and investigative approach, including diving deep into some of Far Cry 6's new features. Enemy weaknesses is a great addition to the Far Cry gameplay loop, and depending on your chosen difficulty, are vital to success.

Astria Ascending is a 2D side-scrolling jrpg. It was developed with the help of several Final Fantasy veterans. That fact alone adds a lot of hype to this indie rpg! We just got a review code for the game yesterday and here are our first thoughts on Astria Ascending for the Nintendo Switch. Astria Ascending is a turn-based jrpg. The combat is about what you’d expect: pick Attack, guard, special attack, etc from a menu. You can also switch characters…

We have the details below and also check out the Smash Bros video with Sora’s reveal. The final Smash Bros character, Sora, will be coming out on October 18th, 2021. And…the Kingdom Hearts games will be coming to the Switch too. We don’t…

There are some games that breathe atmosphere, although arguably not nearly enough. It’s really more of a film or book thing, and yet occasionally a title comes along and surprises you. Alan Wake was one of those titles in 2010 - and its remaster remains impressed 11 years later.
