The Raven Remastered (Switch) Review

Murder on the Orient Express

Mysteries and point-and-click adventures are two gaming niches that I adore, so I was looking forward to play The Raven Remastered, a port of the 2013 game The Raven – Legacy of a Master Thief. The game features an original story that is inspired by Agatha Christie’s murder mystery novels.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War (Switch) Review

Connected Hearts at War

Valiant Hearts isn’t your typical war game. It isn’t a first-person shooter where you run in guns blazing. Rather, it is a slower puzzle adventure title centering on four ordinary individuals. It shares their poignant experiences during the Great War, otherwise known as World War I.

Flipping Death (Switch) Review

Ghost Tricks and Treats

A highlight of Nintendo’s Super Mario Odyssey was its capture mechanic – the ability to take over another creature’s body to complete challenges. Zoink Games takes that possession concept and injects its own wacky sense of humor with Flipping Death, a game that blends adventure, puzzle platforming, and a bizarre artstyle that is out of this world.

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse (Switch) Review

If It Ain’t Broke…

As a fan of point-and-click adventure games, I thoroughly enjoyed the intriguing narrative and logic puzzles in the first Broken Sword titled The Shadow of the Templars. Although the last couple entries took the series in different artistic directions, I was excited for the franchise’s return to form with its fifth title, Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse.

The Lion’s Song (Switch) Review

A Narrative Magnum Opus

Early 20^th Century Austria may not sound like the most interesting setting for a video game, but it gave rise to significant moments in history. Many may know it as the home country of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination was pivotal leading up to World War I. However, not everyone may know that it was also a breeding ground of modernism in an era focused on cultural advancements in the arts and sciences. The Lion’s Song explores this period through a point-and-click adventure game told in four episodes, all available in one download on the Nintendo Switch.
