Nonviolent – Play Critically

Little Kitty, Big City Review

Little Kitty, Big City is the kind of warm and whimsical sandbox I cherish.

Animal Well is a remarkable feat of non-linear videogame design.

Eastward’s inexplicable DLC transformation into farmlife simulation is a dreadful disappointment.

Once Harold Halibut’s visual novelty wears off, what’s left is a lumbering plot and set pieces that only gesture at interactivity.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a simple, satisfying adventure suitable for all ages and experience levels.

Sometimes there’s satisfaction to be found from a repetitive task performed thoroughly and well. I feel none of that satisfaction here.

Jusant tries to climb to mechanical and narrative glory, but doesn’t quite endure its final ascent.

The satisfaction I gain from a thorough job well done in Fresh Start is fragile and breaks down the more it is examined.

Bear & Breakfast is a wonderful, whimsical idea sabotaged by an interminably frustrating interface.

Wayward Strand is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for something slower, quieter, and sweeter.
