How do I even explain Night in the Woods? How do you judge a game when you don’t fully understand it? Night in the Woods for Nintendo Switch is unlike any game I’ve ever played before. Its an adventure game, sure, but it has platforming, some puzzles, and lots of wandering around. Night in the Woods is more story focused than anything else. Its basically an interactive story? Although even that sounds like its selling the game short. Lets take…

A little girl may be the last human alive in the world or at least in her part of the world. She has a robot MOM and soon gets a robot helper. She’ll have to solve puzzles in order to get of this place, but what awaits her? Welcome to the world of VESTA, an adventure puzzle game for the Nintendo Switch. The concept is pretty interesting right? How is the actual game though? Lets find out! VESTA has an …

Recently, I read a tweet by SMG Studio, the developer of Death Squared, about their demo on the Nintendo Switch eShop for the game. They talked about the demo but also asked for feedback on it and the possibility of demos from other indie developers. They said that indies wanted to know if people wanted more demos on the eShop. Right away, I knew I wanted to talk about this. I believe that demos are very important. Square Enix recently…

I really liked Teslagrad on the Wii U. The graphics were very good and the gameplay was a lot of fun. The developer of that game, Rain Games, has a new game out now for the Nintendo Switch: World to the West. The game is set in the same universe as Teslagrad, however the gameplay and graphics are very different. I received a review copy of World to the West recently. My review isn’t ready yet but I thought I…

So…we had a Nintendo Direct last week. It was Nintendo Direct Mini to be exact. During that Direct, we got some new announcements. A lot of people that I follow seemed to like the Direct. I heard there were people who didn’t like it, but I never saw those comments. Well, ok, I did see those comments from one person: myself. I didn’t care for the Direct. I stated why in this article. However, I want to talk about that…

Have you ever wished that your brother (or sister) would go away? You have?! You monster! I don’t have a brother or sister, so I’ve never been there. Max, the star of Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, wishes that his brother would go away and his brother is kidnapped by evil! Its your job, as Max, to get that brother back. But do you really want Max’s brother back? Is this really a video game that you want to play?…

I inherited a farm, started raising crops, got some animals, and now I’m married too. My life has totally changed. No wait. Thats not my real life, thats Stardew Valley for Nintendo Switch! What’s going on?! I can’t stop playing Stardew Valley. I have been playing and reviewing other games, but I keep wanting to go back to Stardew Valley in between. Heck, I’m pretty sure I’m still thinking about this game while playing other games. Stardew Valley is totally…

The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's greatest franchises. There have been many games that have tried to be just like the Zelda games. Some have been good clones, while others not so much. Its very rare that a game manages to be a homage to Zelda, but also has its own identity. Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King for the Nintendo Switch is a game that will make you think of one of the Zelda franchises best games, A Link to the Past, right away. Does the game manage to have its own identity too? Is it a good game?

Welcome to More Thoughts From Me #9000. Thanks for reading my column this long. Adam Roffel just got me out of the cryo unit last week and now I’m update to date on whats going on with Nintendo! Oh my god. Can you believe this new system they’ve announced? Last week, Nintendo announced their newest system: the Nintendo Freeze-1000. This time the chip goes right into your Arm unit and then you plug the Arm right into your brain. Forget…

The first Portal game is one of my favorite games ever. Its not a very long game but it packs a punch. And you gotta love that ending song!

GLaDOS is narrating the trailer. Check that out below and please stick around for my thoughts on the game.…
