There's a good and rich story to experience, fun side-quests, solid combat mechanics and even some mini-games to enjoy here and there. Go on and donwload Crossing Souls today!

Twin Robots is a very fun game that I had an absolute blast play. While it is a short release, every minute is very entertaining. Playing the game for my Twin Robots review allowed me to have a lot of fun for a few hours, so I can definitely recommend that you buy it on Wii U today!

Will you be able to escape with your sanity intact?

I’ve been waiting to play the final version of HyperParasite for a while now, and I’m happy to report that the wait has been worth it. The game’s retro art style and synthwave soundtrack certainly help to make this one stand out on Nintendo Switch. HyperParasite is a full-on homage to the 1980s and is packed with pop culture references that give a huge nod to that era. You will run in so-called “heroes” that are parodies of beloved icons such as Rocky Balboa, Peter Venkman, John McClane, and more. 

Rise of the Fox Hero is out right now on PlayStation 5, and for a fiver, it isn’t a bad deal! The enemies are not in great variety, but they do feel like they’re referencing the beloved Super Mario Bros. series from Nintendo. Why is that? Because you’ll run into spikey hard shells, carnivorous plants – plants that even breathe fire! The colorful presentation also feels very Nintendo.

The game is not as fleshed out as Yasai Ninja, but I did have fun with it as I worked on my Kyurinaga’s Revenge review. I liked what the game did with this new game, and hopefully they’re hard at work on a new entry in this universe.

Colorful single-player on-rails shooter experience

TEMPUS is a colorful and chill first-person puzzle adventure that will send you on a time travel journey on PlayStation. It’s a game that you can play at your own pace as you find the clues that will allow you to solve each puzzle so that you can escape into the next area. Overall, you’re looking at around 2-3 hours at most to complete TEMPUS, depending on your experience with first-person puzzle adventures on the console. Tempus is available as a Cross-Buy title with a $6.99 asking price, so your purchase will give you access to both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5 versions of the game at no extra cost.

Kemono Heroes brings us an old-school-inspired run ‘n’ gun arcade-style experience set in a fantasy world with anthropomorphic characters. The indie studio previously gave us the 2D action platformer A Hole New World, a game that I had a chance to review on PlayStation 4 many years ago. In Kemono Heroes, the Moon God ends up turning the inhabitants of the forest to stone, which is why the four Animal Ninja Masters jump into action and go on a mission to Mt. Fuji to try and break the spell before it’s too late. The game can be played on your own, or you can have up to four people playing simultaneously in local co-op multiplayer. You’ll be taking on 4 worlds, with 3 levels each. 

Colorful and fun old-school-infused 3D platformer

Astronite is a fun and challenging 1-bit Metroidvania in which you’re going to be dying a lot during the first segment of the game, right after losing all of your equipment. But once you learn from your mistakes and get into the groove, you’ll be gaining access to more and more areas of Neplea. Astronite is out today on PlayStation with a $14.99 asking price, and it offers an entertaining 2D 1-bit Metroidvania.

Frank and Drake is a rotoscoped branching narrative adventure with a bit of a supernatural twist to its story. You’ll be taking on this journey as you alternate between Frank and Drake, with one leaving messages to the other by way of Post-it notes and vice versa. It’s an interesting Rated M for Mature experience that is not going to be for everyone. Oh, and Drake totally talks to ghosts and visits his mom’s grave. You know, the usual. Frank and Drake is out tomorrow with a $24.99 asking price.

Heartwarming photo album narrative puzzler on Switch

Will you manage to find your husband?

I loved Crossing Souls as it was a gateway back to the movies, cartoons, and games of my childhood. It doesn't stop at Nostalgia though, the game has some fun mechanics and interesting puzzles built into it as well. There are some really satisfying boss levels and some really cool retro game throwback levels.

A fun remake that revamps a classic for a new generation

As expected from a shoot ’em up, the game is short… but it’s also frantic, fun and colorful. The tutorial is a bit slow and the loading times are also a bit slow but other than that this is a good game with plenty of replayability and a good game for the speedrunning community.

Stay is certainly a different type of experience, what with its in-game timer and how it affects the wellbeing of Quinn. Taking a break from the game for an extended period of time could prove to be fatal for him, so you'll always need to make sure you check in on him every now and then. Other than the lack of a hint system, I definitely recommend you check this one out!

A medida que establezcas nuevas relaciones y te acerques a los que te rodean, envejecerás y crearás vínculos que podrían durar toda la vida... ¡una vida que podría no ser tan larga si tomas algunas decisiones equivocadas por el camino! Disfruté mucho con el juego y veo muchas posibilidades de que el equipo de desarrollo mejore la fórmula para una eventual secuela. 

Freddy Farmer is a colorful retro-inspired arcade-style game on Nintendo Switch. You’ll be taking on the role of the titular Freddy, who must do whatever it takes to save his daughter, who has been kidnapped by an evil dragon that lives on top of an abandoned castle! You’ll be exploring 5 different worlds with 7 levels each, as you take on more than 25 enemies trying to stop you. There are also 5 bonus levels you can play, which will then unlock 5 mini-games for you to take on later. As you can tell from the trailer and screens in this Freddy Farmer review, the game has been inspired by games from the 1980s and 1990s. Freddy Farmer is out today on Nintendo Switch with a budget price of only $4.99.

Gore fest pixel beat ‘em up based on the Terrifier universe

If you’re looking for an old-school racing experience that is not of the sim variety, then Super Woden GP is just what you’ve been looking for. It has four different types of races to take on, as well as a free race option that you can customize to your liking, more than 70 cars to purchase and unlock, and several tracks to drive through – including the challenging rally ones! Super Woden GP is out with an $11.99 asking price, and since it’s a Cross-Buy title, you can get the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5 versions of the game at no extra cost.

Colorful educational experience for all ages

BAMBAS! de Devilish Games es un simulador de paseo en el que te abrirás camino hacia un buen rato. El estudio indie español nos presenta un juego en el que jugaremos como un par de zapatillas en un mundo lleno de otros calzados que han cobrado vida.

If you’re looking for a colorful and fun puzzle game with a new twist, then Indigo 7: Quest for love can certainly scratch that itch. There’s a bit of a learning curve as you get to learn the combo system and better understand the peculiarities of each of the game modes, but then it all clicks with ease. I do have to mention that I ran into a bug that would make it so the game would not recognize any inputs from the D-Pad or the left analog stick to select colors – which forced me to close the game and load it up again – that will hopefully be addressed soon by way of a patch. Indigo 7: Quest for love is out on PlayStation 4 with a $14.99 asking price.

Classic point and click adventure game given a second chance

This is a good first attempt at a digital take on a brand new sport. I have enjoyed playing eCrossminton, and aside from a few negatives such as the isometric view, and maybe no online component, the game is good. eCrossminton game that is worth a try for fans of this relatively new sport.

Your enjoyment of the game will depend on how you feel about walking simulators, which is why this one is not going to be for everyone.

It's time to go on a journey thorugh an underground metropolis

Colorful 3D platformer in which you’ll roll downhill

If you’re looking for a short but fun beat ‘em up on Playstation 4 that pays homage to classics such as Final Fight and Streets of Rage, then Itadaki Smash is a good option. It does not reinvent the wheel, but it has a good flow, a colorful presentation, and local co-op for up to two players, along with a Platinum trophy. Itadaki Smash is out on PlayStation 4 with a $14.99 price.

Basureroes: Invasion is a retro action platformer in which you’ll have to save the world. Ten years ago, the evil Doctor Diogenes and his robots wreaked havoc in New Genesia. Luckily, a group of heroes – known as Basureroes – joined forces to save the day. As the years went on, new members joined the cause and the team’s roster changed. With Doctor Diogenes back, the Basureroes must once again jump into action to put a stop to his plans before it’s too late. Oh, and when you do beat Doctor Diogenes, aliens swoop in and invade the planet! This one offers some replay value since each of the heroes will have a special ability that will make it possible to explore different sections of each level. Basureroes: Invasion is available as a Cross-Buy title, so your $12.99 purchase will allow you to download both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game at no extra cost.

Will you be able to solve the murder of Lord Anderson?

Tower defense tactics game that draws from Plants vs. Zombies

Naught is a fun 2D platformer with a solid difficulty curve… for most of the time. The one complaint I’d have is that the levels that feature walls full of spikes in which you have to be extremely precise about how you twist around the level drive the difficulty up to 11, while the stage immediately following each of these stages goes back to the steady difficulty climb experienced before. Other than that, it’s an entertaining experience that will challenge your senses and coordination.

Bizarre, Rated M for Mature experience on Switch

Arcade-style game that pays homage to the Buster Bros./Pang series

El Gancho is a platformer set in the same universe of shoot ’em up Task Force Kampas, thus offering a very different experience. Its randomly generated levels, physics-based platforming, and roguelite nature won’t be for everyone. Trophy hunters will dig that it’s a Cross-Buy release, so the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions are included with a single purchase, and each version features a separate trophy list with a Platinum trophy. El Gancho is out with a budget $6.99 price.

Add stealth sections during which zombies are not properly scripted, forcing you to restart sections until the layout is just right for you to sneak up to them to get proper stealth kills, and there’s some stuff to love and a lot of stuff that feels off. I really liked the premise, voice acting, and the cel shaded presentation for MalnaZidos, so hopefully a patch is on the way to fix some of the issues. MalnaZidos is out on PlayStation 4 with a $19.99 asking price.

Surface Rush is a colorful arcade-style physics-based experience with a simple control scheme that makes it easy to get the hang of things right away. It also offers four game modes that introduce different rules to consider, as well as a Platinum trophy. Unfortunately, the game is not without issues. The game gets a lot of slowdown for no apparent reason since there’s nothing on the screen that would make you consider the PlayStation 5 hardware is getting a workout. Surface Rush is out on PlayStation as a Cross-Buy title for a budget price of $4.99, which grants you access to the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game.

Skeler Boy will take you on a quest to find your girlfriend, who has disappeared without a trace. As the titular Skeler, you’ll need to search for any clues that might lead you to her as you collect the items needed to hopefully succeed. Things take a turn for the bizarre early in the game, with a series of events that start to blur the lines. Skeler Boy is available as a Cross-Buy title, so your $7.99 purchase will allow you to download both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game at no extra cost, and each one will have its own trophy list for you to work on.

All in all, Horned Knight is a below-average action-platformer with bland level design and stiff controls that get in the way as you start to play. It does include a Platinum trophy for trophy hunters to add to their collection, but other than that, this is a hard one to recommend.

A broken first-person walking sim that you should avoid

Square Keeper is a turn-based puzzle dungeon crawler in which you’ll use cards to perform the actions needed to defeat enemies as you try to escape from each stage. With 40 stages to complete, a handful of card types to use in battle, and a Platinum trophy to work on, Square Keeper is a minimalist puzzle game that ends up being fun. The game is out as a Cross-Buy title, so your $4.99 purchase will get you both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game, and each one will have its own trophy list to work on.
