Life is Strange: True Colors review Nintendo Switch

System: Switch
Release date: December 7, 2021
Developer: Deck Nine
Publisher: Square Enix


While the choose-your-own-adventure genre has evolved and continued to grow over time, its increase in popularity over the years has resulted in it becoming a dedicated place to tell some of the most emotional stories. These games offer tailored experiences thanks to the multiple routes, events, and endings that can happen from player to player. Life is Strange was a fresh take at the time from newly formed studio Dontnod Entertainment that told a slice-of-life story with slight superpower-esque flavoring. It also featured a teenage main character that immediately set itself apart from the other gritty, more fantasy-based stories within the genre, connecting with tons of players on both a personal and emotional level. With unparalleled writing and plenty of jaw-dropping moments that constantly had the internet talking about what was coming next, it quickly catapulted to the forefront of the industry. Life is Strange: True Colors now marks the latest entry of the franchise almost seven years later and does a few things differently from past entries, but this also marks the series’ debut on a Nintendo system and a relatively impressive showing at that.

Succubus

Madmind Studio, the developer behind Agony, has announced that its new first-person slasher Succubus will be released on Switch. Console Labs will be handling the port.

Succubus has you playing as Vydija, a demonic succubus who’s on a mission to regain her kingdom. Her skills can be used to take revenge on enemies across the campaign’s 21 levels as well as ranked arenas. The game promises 40 weapons and 20 special powers. Attacking can be done with your claws, but also with bone swords, clubs, and other weapons.

Putt-Putt Travels Through Time Freddi Fish 3

A pair of classic point-and-click adventure games will soon be appearing on Switch, as eShop listings have revealed that Putt-Putt Travels Through Time and Freddi Fish 3: The Case of the Stolen Conch Shell are inbound for the console. They were made by Humongous Entertainment in the late ’90s, though UFO Interactive is handling these titles for Nintendo’s system.
