FAR: Changing Tides Review
Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One (reviewed), PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows A few years back I stumbled on a video for a little game called FAR: Lone Sails.

River City Girls Zero Review
Platforms: Switch (Xbox, PC, PlayStation 4 and 5 coming later) When River City Girls came out a couple of years ago, I was instantly charmed by the adventures of Misako and Kyoko beating the crap out of everything that moved.

About an Elf Review
Platform: Switch Sometimes reviewing games can be a funny thing. In most instances, you get a game, and it lives and dies by any combination of mechanics, presentation, and writing.

Cyber Shadow Review
Platforms, Linux , Mac, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Switch, Windows, and Xbox One I quickly realised something terrible playing Cyber Shadow, a new throwback ninja platformer from Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker and Yacht Club Games.
