Yesterday during the Nintendo Direct, a surprise free-to-play game was announced. The game is Tetris 99. I’ve played it and now I have some impressions to share. Do we need Tetris 99? Tetris 99, a free-to-play game for the Nintendo Switch, came to the eshop yesterday. The game pits you in a game of Tetris against 99 other people. It is an online, multiplayer only game. As far as I can tell, there are no extra things to buy. Tetris…

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a game heavily inspired by Egyptian lore, from its story to its setting and characters. Mythology is a good source for video games, though it doesn't always result in a good game. Is Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy good, OK, or just plain bad?

Cake Laboratory for Nintendo Switch is all about decorating cakes and then stacking them. Of course, one false move and the tower will come falling down. Is Cake Laboratory something you’ll want to play or is just another cheap mobile game that was ported to the Nintendo Switch? Cake Laboratory is a very simple, yet addictive puzzle game. The goal of the game is to see how high you can stack cakes. With each level, the stack of cakes gets…

I haven’t played many board games in my life. I’ve always been more of a video game fan. That said, board games brought to the video game realm do interest me. I remember my dad playing Carcassonne on the Xbox 360 and thinking that it looked neat. When I heard it was coming out for the Switch, I decided I wanted to review it. Now I’ve played the game and I can give you my opinion of it. Is Carcassonne…

If you like puzzle video games (maybe even if you don’t), then its very likely that you’ve played a version of Tetris. I’ve played a lot of Tetris games. I still own Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Nintendo Switch and play it once and awhile. You would think after so many Tetris games, I’d be tired of the series. Tetris always draws me back in. And the upcoming Tetris Effect may be the neatest version yet. I played some of…

Syberia 3 is an adventure game in the vain of King’s Quest or more recently, Thimbleweed, but without the humor and a ton more puzzles to solve. The game recently came to the Nintendo Switch and I received a review code for it. Is Syberia 3 a good game or should you skip this adventure? Before you start Syberia 3, make sure you watch ‘the previously on Syberia’ video. Syberia 3 does not introduce Kate Walker and throws you right…

Human: Fall Flat, a physics based puzzle platformer, received a free online multiplayer update recently. The update is for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch version of the game. The PC version received this update last year. Check out a video for the update below. I have never played Human: Fall Flat, but it looks like a really neat game. And now 8-player multiplayer has been added to the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One versions of…

What do you get when you combine a turn-based rpg with a word puzzle game? You get Letter Quest Remastered of course. The game is currently available on the Nintendo Switch and its on sale for $2.99 till August 30th! I picked it up on sale and now have some thoughts on it. Should you attack monsters with your words? I like word puzzle games. That should be obvious if you ever read any of my Lightwood Games reviews. I’m…

Tetris is one of my favorite puzzle games of all time. Tetra’s Escape for the Nintendo Switch…has nothing at all to do with Tetris. Yes, there are blocks and shapes that look like Tetris blocks but Tetra’s Escape is a different kind of puzzle game. Is it a good puzzle game though? The goal of each Tetra’s Escape level is pretty basic: reach the portal at the end of the level. The levels are very small and you always know…

Traveler’s Tales always does a great job with the LEGO games. Soon there will be another game added to the franchise: Lego DC Super-Villains! This one is a bit different though! Why? Lets take a look at Lego DC Super-Villains! Lego DC Super-Villains looks like it’ll be a little different from the usual Lego video games. In all the Lego games so far, you started out playing as one of your favorite heroes (or characters from a movie like Star…
