“The game delivers an updated experience compared to its predecessor, adding a wide variety of new clubs, players, and special moves that now extend beyond shooting to dribbling, tackles, and ball blocks. It also improves the goalkeeper-versus-striker encounters, making the overall experience more enjoyable and distinctive for both longtime fans of the series and players experiencing it for the first time.”

“Lou's Lagoon was a fun and engaging crafting adventure that I had a lot of fun playing. Yes, there were a few hiccups here and there. but when dealing with the open sea and a magic storm, nothing will really be smooth flying.”

“Brigandine Abyss is a pawsitively deep strategy RPG with plenty of content, fantastic music, and deep army customization. Its dated visuals, lengthy battles, and questionable battle decisions make the road to conquest a bit bumpy, but there’s still plenty of strategic fun to sink your claws into.”

“This was always going to be a tricky review, and it was mostly going to be about how it ports across to the Switch 2. I had no complaints about the performance and of course Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition itself was voted Game of the Year for a reason. To that end, if you haven’t played the original and you like adventure games that you can sink hours of your time into, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is one of those games that you MUST play in your lifetime. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition has to be seen to be believed, and at times it took my breath away.”

“Lou's Lagoon knows what makes a cozy crafting game compelling. Gathering with the Swirler feels good, upgrades have a purpose, the islands are fun to explore, and building gives every load of materials somewhere useful to go. The missing-uncle mystery may not linger in my mind, but the pleasure of completing another project does. The tiny inventory is a persistent annoyance, yet it did not spoil a bright, relaxing adventure that I had a genuinely good time playing.”

“Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy changes many things while still retaining the series’ distinctive atmosphere and gameplay. At the same time, it works well as an action-adventure game. It puts an original spin on the myth of the Minotaur, while strong visuals and direction make its two intertwined stories engaging from start to finish.”

“But also, in acknowledging that the Switch 2 port of Elden Ring isn’t quite up to the standard of the game playing on the PlayStation 5, this review sounds more negative than it should. The differences are a rounding error, and what is important is that this masterpiece runs perfectly well on a very portable console.”

“While it feels like the impact of Breath of the Wild is waning as the open world genre starts to stagnate again, Elden Ring stands out as not only an achievement in FromSoftware’s hall of fame, but also as an open-world RPG. Elden Ring is without a doubt, FromSoft’s most ambitious undertaking yet, and like Dark Souls before it, I believe it will leave a permanent mark on both the open-world genre and the games industry in general.”

“Star Wars is a rich playground for games, with loads of differentiated hero and enemy types and powers baked in, and Zero Company takes full advantage of that to make an excellent tactics game in its own right. In doing so, it has made the next great evolution of the genre.”

“Once you get a solid grasp of the tactics, resource management, and intricate systems the game leans on, Brigandine Abyss becomes a deeply rewarding experience. Just don’t expect the easy accessibility of a Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, because this game has no interest in holding your hand.”
