[Preview] No Longer Human – PAX West 2023
Posted on 8 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
No Longer Human – an upcoming fast-paced slash-em-up and the debut release of indie developer 0801 LLC – is one of the finest examples of pure sensory overload that I’ve ever had the privilege of playing. I moved and attacked at speeds that felt impossible, to a soundtrack that’s so agressive and distorted its almost indescribable, while watching geysers of pixellated blood erupt from my foes. The game has the aesthetic of vector-traced arcade cabinets of the olden days, if those games were made today and took place in a rave. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that absolutely deserves to be on the radar of action game fans.

For the next Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 spotlight, we have a closer look at another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rep – that being Donatello.
Donatello uses his bow staff, which gives him some of the longest ranged attacks in the game. He’s a good choice for those looking to play at a distance or outsmart their opponents. On the other hand, he’s one of the slower characters. Donatello has a couple of signature moves, including his side special smoke bomb and electric grenade.
[Review] Fae Farm
Posted on 8 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 8, 2023

The farming/life sim genre has exploded in recent years, and with an abundance of high quality titles now available on Switch, it is becoming increasingly difficult for new entrants to stand out from the crowd. Fae Farm, which comes from Phoenix Labs, is the latest to have gathered some attention prior to its launch thanks to its magic-focused premise, RPG elements, and quality-of-life features that make the pains of the genre more bearable and accessible. While Fae Farm takes several steps in the right direction towards this end, there are some design choices that make the overall experience less magical than it could have been.
