Parts 1, 2, and 3 of my Torna – The Golden Country review-in-progress are already up. In part 4, I will talk about the game’s graphics. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is wonderful looking but I think Torna looks better! The characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 have always had a unique cel-shaded look to them, but Torna takes it to the next level. In cutscenes, especially, the characters in this game look animated movie quality good with more realistic expressions and better…

I’ve never played The World Ends With You. I saw some previews for the game on the DS and didn’t think the game would be for me. Now that the game is coming to the Nintendo Switch, I’ve been looking at some previews and what I’m seeing is very interesting. Check out the latest trailer for Nintendo and then please come back here for my thoughts for it. The battles in The World Ends With You look intense and very…

Jack and Jill went up a hill…and ended up in a video game. Indie game Jack N’ Jill DX came to the Nintendo Switch eshop recently. I received a review code for the game and checked it out. Is Jack N’Jill DX any good? Jack N’ Jill DX is a runner. You do not control the movement of your character. At the beginning of the level, you press A and the character runs. After that, all you can do is…

Thanks to our good friends at Xbox Canada, we were able to take a look at NBA 2K19 on the Xbox One X, and although it had been a few years since we had played a basketball video game - outside of arcade releases - and were pleasantly surprised with how far the genre has come. But is NBA 2K19 worth your time? Let's dive in!

Released just over a month ago, Shadows: Awakening is an isometric dungeon-crawler RPG with a rich storyline and intriguing game mechanics. Brought to us by Slovakian developer Games Farm, Awakening is the second installment in the Heretic Kingdoms saga. If you’re suddenly worried that you missed the first game, don’t be – this game plays great standalone and you will do just fine treating this as a solo game. For gamers who have dabbled in franchises like Diablo or Path of Exile but didn’t stick around because of the repetitive grind, lack of puzzles and ...

Check out part 1 of my review-in-progress. In part 2, I talk about Torna’s battle system. I’ve already said that its better than Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s system. Why is that? How do you improve on something that is already so good? I’m usually not a fan of auto-attacking combat but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 made their battle system very interesting by giving players options when it came to special attacks for your main person and sometimes other people in your group.…

Final Fantasy 7 is coming to the Nintendo Switch next year. I dreamed of writing those words but I never thought it would actually happen. Final Fantasy 7 on a Nintendo platform!? Final Fantasy 7 on Nintendo’s console/handheld hybrid?! No way! Yes way. Its happening. And so I felt that now might be a good time to talk about my favorite moments of the game. If you’ve never played it before, don’t read this article. There are spoilers in this…

Adam Roffel, GamesReviews.com’s editor-in-chief, asked me if I wanted to review Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna -The Golden Country for the Nintendo Switch. I said yes right away. I had played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and liked it. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get to play Torna though because I had been busy playing other games. I have a free slot of time now and I’m more than ready to take a trip to Torna! Here is part 1 of my…
