Several months ago, I surfed the Switch eShop for visual novels and adventure games, bought a couple, and went on my merry way. The next time I visited the eShop, it had one of those Amazon suggestion boxes saying, "Since you bought this, we think you'd like this." The suggestion was for The Gardens Between, which naturally, I had never heard of. You'd think I would have, since … [Read more...] about The Gardens Between Review – Not All Is as it Seems (Switch)

The Turing Test Review – If Portal and The Station Had a Baby… (Switch)
With the coronoavirus putting us all on lock-down, I figured it was a good time to play some of the Switch games I randomly bought and never tried.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is pretty fresh in my mind, and that's because I'm busy warning all of my friends to wait for … [Read more...] about A Candid Chaosbane Review – More Like Varietybane (PS4)
Valley Review – Just as Great the Second Time Around (Switch)
Three years ago, I reviewed Valley on PS4 for PlayStation Lifestyle. It was a small indie game, it looked pretty, and I sometimes enjoy exploration games. I figured, why not? Well, I fell in love with it. I trumpeted constantly that it needed to be a GOTY contender, even if that meant it was only in the indie category. I didn't care; it HAD to be there. It didn't win with our … [Read more...] about Valley Review – Just as Great the Second Time Around (Switch)
