Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound TLDR Battle Card Review

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is an awesome game. The kind of retro revival fans hope for. But it’s a polarizing niche of action platformer that may not have a wide appeal to modern audiences. It’s the kind of game that merits a personal recommendation.

Donkey Kong Bananza: Accessibility Review

Donkey Kong Bananza is a game with largely accessible design. Its simple core mechanics, visual design language, and almost unprecedented levels of player freedom stem from a time-tested Nintendo approach of inviting play for all ages. But while this lends itself to natively accessible design, the game still lacks many key accessibility options – options that can make a crucial difference between enabling play for all ages and enabling play for all players, regardless of their visual, audio, mechanical, or cognitive needs.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster TLDR Battle Card Review

The Switch 2 launch is here and with it, a long awaited remaster of the original Bravely Default game (for me, at least). After starting with BDII on Switch, I’ve wanted the chance to go back to the series’ beginning - and after 65 hours of charm, job class goodness, narrative left hooks, and a few last-hour frustrations, I have some THOUGHTS.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s Biggest Area to Improve: Accessibility

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best games I have ever played. Period. And because I truly believe it is a must-play title, I want Expedition 33 to be accessible to as many players as possible. It’s the kind of experience no one should have to miss - so let’s talk about the game’s accessibility and how this or future titles could possibly improve.

The First BerserkeR: Khazan TLDR Battle Card Review

The First Berserker: Khazan is more Niohlike than true Soulslike - almost to the point of being derivative. At its very best, that stands as a flattering comparison - evoking that tight, snappy gameplay feel that many games fail to recreate. But at its lowest points, it leaves me wanting more - and here’s why.

Nobody Nowhere: TLDR Battle Card Review

Nobody Nowhere is a tightly paced, 2D side scrolling narrative adventure that sits somewhere in the realm of point-and-clicks and visual novels. Following the story of a newly awakened Replicant, made as a part of a program to create vessels for transferring human consciousness and cheating mortality, Nobody Nowhere hits hard and fast with a memorable plot that makes great use of its 3 hour runtime.
