Blair Witch continues to look bonkers as hell

Found footage In all honesty, I didn’t expect much when I heard aBlair Witchgame was coming. The original film was a ridiculously massive hit in the late ’90s, but it hasn’t stood the test of time as essential cinema. Every subsequent film sequel and game adaptation has been incredibly mixed, too. For all intents and purposes, just the name ofBlair Witchconjures indifference from me. Somehow, though, Bloober Team’s game looks interesting....

Corn on the cob crawdaddy and more in Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale

A wolf wearing a bandana Listen, I’m going to give it to you straight forward here: I’ve not played any of the games in theStory of Seasonsseries, nor do I know the source material. What I do know, however, is that there is a wolf wearing a bandanna who looks super happy about life, and a crawdaddy with corn-on-the-cob for pincers. What more do you need in a JRPG? There was comparatively boring stuff like turned-based movement and combat, attacking enemies from the rear for massive damage, and group skills....

Could the Switch end up being a shmup machine? Danmaku Unlimited 3 is coming for it

Nice, more please I don’t know if I’m being selfish when it comes to what I want to see on the Switch. The fact that so many indie developers flocked to the Wii U and not enough big studios is what ultimately led to its demise (among other Nintendo related reasons). The Switch is off to a much better start so it’s way too early to predict how the market will go, but for now, there’s a healthy mix of both worlds....

Devolver Tumble Time is a pretty good puzzler in need of more purpose

The formula is there, now it just needs some content A few years ago, when theYo-kai Watchcraze still had a pulse, Level-5 launched a puzzle game on mobile that quickly became my go-to app for lunch breaks and train rides. It was calledYo-kai Watch Wibble Wobbleand it was brilliant, fun, and full of annoying free-to-play mechanics. But the game was so good, I didn’t care. I just kept playing until the English version of the game was shut down in May 2018....
