We have written extensively on how to play Wingspan and even done an in-depth review. You can also check our our thoughts on the first, European Birds expansion. While some of the how-to-play elements will be repeated in this article, we do suggest you read our how to play guide so you understand the basics before proceeding.
Wingspan Review

Let’s talk about it! The newest addition to the Nintendo Switch’s menu is a Nintendo Switch Online…
We Need A Limited Series of Immortals Titles
Almost half of the staff at GamesReviews have been diving into Immortals Fenyx Rising over the past two weeks, and for the most part, we are all really impressive with this brand new IP from Ubisoft Quebec. While borrowing heavily from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, this game does set it's own path with a humerous story and fantastic charactesr that feel unique and alive.
Micetopia
Welcome to Micetopia. A land populated by mice. Is this mice centric game worth a look? Here’s our review of Micetopia for the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4! Micetopia is a Metroidvania action platformer for the Nintendo Switch and the Playstation 4. I tried out both versions, although most of my playtime was focused on the Nintendo Switch version.
