Unsighted Review

Unsighted’s time limiting mechanics make me feel for its characters in ways that pushes it towards the top tiers of greatness.

Kaze and the Wild Masks is a complete package: beautiful graphics, excellent platforming mechanics, and satisfactory challenge.

ElecHead is a fine puzzle platformer and an impressive debut from its solo developer.

If you’ve never been successful in a Souls-like before then Death’s Gambit might be Souls-lite enough to ease you into things.

I cannot recall the last videogame I finished with more conflicting feelings.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits has beautiful animation and art design but is too difficult to be a fun videogame.

There’s no other RPG quite like Loop Hero, and it’s worth playing for that reason alone.

The Wild at Heart is an engaging Sendak-esque adventure that lacks refinement.

These are the five indie videogames on Nintendo Switch I consider to be the must-plays of the Pandemic Year, Part 2: Things Got Worse.

Tails of Iron feels like playing a gruesome passage from Redwall if it was read as a bedtime story by Geralt of Rivia.
