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…

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…

And…the Kingdom Hearts games will be coming to the Switch too. We don’t…

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is one of those games that gets whispered about amongst diehard Action RPG fans. Nobody in the mainstream knows it, but those that do KNOW IT. It has an epic story built around Chinese mythology and history, decent combat and pretty enough graphics as to not be off-putting. It has occasionally hilarious translation and story elements that come from nowhere and disappear as quickly. There are long walks with few saves. And yet it’s still time…

When I tell people I don’t like Pokémon, they are a bit surprised. I’m a Nintendo fan.  People think if you’re a fan of the company you probably like all their franchises, especially Pokémon! Who doesn’t like Pokémon? Well, I don’t. Why is that? And what am I thinking about the new games? Read on if you dare! I’ve tried to get into Pokémon. I played the 3DS demos, I’ve looked at footage, and of course played some non-rpg  games.…

During Thursday’s Nintendo Direct, Square Enix announced a couple of surprise games. One of them was Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars.  Footage of the game was shown off for the first time and it was announced that a demo was coming out after the Direct. I’ve now played the entire demo and want to share my thoughts on it. Voice of Cards: The Dragon Roars is a video game that plays like a board game! You have cards…

Today, Nintendo had an all-new Direct. And it…was AMAZING. I talk about what I liked so much about today’s Nintendo Direct below. Today was Nintendo Direct Day. I was prepared for disappointment. As it turned out…I was not disappointed (for the most part). Nintendo delivered the best Direct is a long time in my opinion. What was so great about it? Well, first of all: Nintendo announced not one but TWO additional videos to be premiere in October: The final…

Nintendo of America announced today that a Direct will air on 9/23! Wait! Thats tomorrow! There will be an all-new Nintendo Direct tomorrow (9/23) at 5:00pm central. On twitter, Nintendo of America said that the Direct will be “roughly 40 minutes of information focused mainly on #NintendoSwitch games launching this winter.” We know that Metroid Dread, Mario Party, Pokémon, Advance Wars, and Big Brain Academy are coming soon. So those games will get some spotlight time most likely. There are…

Astria Ascending is a 2D jrpg that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch very soon. We have the cinematic launch trailer for the game below and some thoughts on Astria Ascending too! Astria Ascending will be coming to the Nintendo Switch eshop (and other places) on September 3oth! The game is a jrpg from some veterans of the Final Fantasy series! It is, unlike those games, set in 2D and features some platforming but the combat is a turn-based…
