Walking the boundary between genres is a tense game for developers and artists alike. Err too much on one side, and you cheapen both experiences, making a potential pot of gold into a flop. Luckily for fans of Banjo Kazooie, Pikmin, and, strangely, Tony Hawk, there is a game out there that combines the best of all three games into a unique package: Tinykin. Platforms: Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Steam [Revie...

One of the announcements that excited me the most from the most recent Nintendo Direct was a remake of the 2004 Gamecube game Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. Nearly 20 years later, you'll be able to play it as Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life on the Switch. It has an expected release date of Summer 2023. A Wonderful Life is my personal favorite entry in the series, and features several unique gameplay elements. The...

An indie game based around a hybrid between debate and card gameplay was recently revealed. Titled Reality Layer Zero, this game tasks you with the art of persuasion through the medium of cards. Story gameplay will revolve around debating NPCs to uncover information concerning an ominous note.
