The Outer Worlds: Peril On Gorgon - More Of The Same, But That's Just Fine

Peril On Gorgon, the latest DLC for The Outer Worlds, is out now on Switch, and while the port itself isn't any better for it, the expansion to the story makes this a worthy investment. Grab that severed human arm and embark on the mystery of Spacer's Choice and it's

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes - Switch Review

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes - Switch Review

Grant us eyes grant us eyes. Morbid is quick to throw its Souls-like inspiration at us, with its more Fallout-esc isometric view and anime-feel sprite designs. Yes, the Souls-like brand has been tarnished over the years, with plenty of soulless copycats, vein indie wannabes and triple-A buzzwords or journalists using

Adventures of Chris - Switch Review

Adventures of Chris - Switch Review

A fat, asthmatic, slow, timid kid thrown into a sidescroller where the coins are cookies, the health pickups are milkshakes, and the enemies are an assortment of Castlevania-esc horrors that range from Dracula-like vampires to gigantic spiders – The Adventures of Chris is a quirky experiment that, like Humans, falls flat.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Switch Review
