Originally released this past November before moving to PC, adventure game Mosaic is now available for the Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.  The game features a protagonist trudging through the repetitiveness of life set in a cold color palette. The adventure emulates the bland existence of being a corporate drone, even taking a cynical shot at the skinner box-esque distractions on our phone.  An endless clicker game stripped down to its basic parts can be found on the player’s…

I’m an 80s kid, so I have all the nostalgia for arcades, NES games, Ghostbusters and the rest.

Here is my review of 198X for the Nintendo Switch. 198X tells the coming-of-age story of “The Kid”. The main character of the game narrates…

If it was still 2019, Astral Chain would be one of my favorite games of 2019. The game came out that year but I didn’t get the game until this year (2020). So I guess it’ll probably end up on my best of 2020 list instead. Why do I like Astral Chain so much? Let me tell you about it! I have to admit I’m not a big fan of Platinuum Games. Bayonetta 1 and 2 are good games but…

First reported by IGN, a new patent has been unearthed detailing a new stylus attachment for the Switch Joycon.  While there are styluses already available, this new accessory would be more feature-rich.  Think more along the lines of an Apple Pencil than a generic piece of plastic.  As seen below, the device will replace the traditional Joycon straps, with a small stylus head protruding from the top. An image of the new accessory pulled from Nintendo’s patent application. Since the…

Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath is coming out on January 23rd for the Nintendo Switch. The game is currently available for pre-purchase! I remember playing Stranger’s Wrath on the original Xbox! I was a huge fan of the game. It was so very different from the other Oddworld games: you didn’t play as Abe or an Abe-like creature, you didn’t have others following you or couldn’t issue commands. Instead, you played as a gunslinger in an old west like setting. Your character…
