Samurai Warriors 5 is More of the Same (and this is good)!
I've recently been playing around with Samurai Warriors 5 on Nintendo Switch, and while I'm not one with a lot of experience playing Warriors games - my time has been limited to Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors. That being said, the presentation of Samurai Warriors 5 is an improvement on past iterations in the system, providing a brand new visual look that I really enjoyed.

My Time at Portia Mobile Port a Welcome Addition
As we reported earlier this year, My Time at Portia - the fantastic farming and life simulation game - was heading to mobile after having a very successful run on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
