review in progress

On Wednesday, we talked about the first Bayonetta’s visuals. Today the game comes out for the Nintendo Switch! And this is really just the perfect moment to talk about Bayonetta’s gameplay. The graphics on a game can be great, but if the gameplay sucks, well, than the game will be forgotten faster then this review-in-progress! So how does Bayonetta play on the Nintendo Switch? When you use the analog stick and button controls on Bayonetta, this game plays really well.…

Please check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of my Fire Emblem Warriors review-in-progress. For the fourth and final part of my review-in-progress, I wanted to talk about Fire Emblem Warrior’s story. While Warriors is a different type of game then the regular Fire Emblem series, it does still feel like a game in that series. It also pays tribute to the games that came before it. Come closer. Let me tell you about a story (while trying…

Its been awhile since we’ve seen a console Fire Emblem game. And we’ve never seen a console AND handheld Fire Emblem game before. That said, we have seen the Fire Emblem characters in HD before thanks to the Smash Bros game on the Wii U. So we know what to expect right? Well, not exactly. The Fire Emblem characters in Warriors look different than the ones we saw in Smash Bros. This entire game is different from that game. How…

When Fire Emblem Warriors for the Switch (and New 3DS) was announced, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. I didn’t care much for Hyrule Warriors and I’m a huge Legend of Zelda fan, so would I like Fire Emblem in a non-turn-based strategy setting? Thanks to Nintendo and GamesReviews.com, I received a review copy of Fire Emblem Warriors for the Nintendo Switch. I have played it some and want to share with you my initial impressions of the game!…

In the second part of our Paper Mario: Color Splash Review-in-progress, we talked about the game’s battle system. Today I want to talk about the exploration aspect of the game and briefly about the game’s music! Here we go! In Paper Mario: Color Splash, you will be going to a lot of places. The world map in Color Splash is huge! There were people who didn’t like that you had a Mario level style world map like Sticker Star. Of…

In Part 1 of our Paper Mario: Color Splash Review-in-progress, we examined the writing and graphics of Color Splash. In today’s part 2, I want to look at the game’s battle system. Color Splash uses cards instead of stickers and while the battle system is turn-based, it is also very different from Sticker Star or any of the other Paper Mario battle systems. The most important question is: is the battle system any good? In Paper Mario: Color Splash, a…

Paper Mario Color Splash has taken a lot of flak from fans who didn’t like the previous entry in the series Sticker Star for the 3DS. Those fans said that the game looked too much like Sticker Star and they were not willing to give the game a chance to prove itself. I wasn’t a big fan of Sticker Star, but from the moment I saw Color Splash, I had the opposite reaction of those fans. I was really excited…
