Nintendo – Page 8 – Play Critically

Frogsong Review

I am uncertain if Frogsong is successful in its queer storytelling, but I appreciate its effort.

Trine 2’s biggest problem is it’s too much like the first Trine.

Sometimes there’s satisfaction to be found from a repetitive task performed thoroughly and well. I feel none of that satisfaction here.

Of the 2023 indie releases I reviewed on Play Critically, I feel these are the five best.

I hoped Ebenezer and the Invisible World would be a new classic holiday videogame. Instead it is a footnote.

In terms of design and personal satisfaction, Build is one of SteamWorld’s most successful installments.

If I didn’t know better I would believe Prison City is a classic 8-bit action-platformer, resurrected and polished for current audiences.

9 Years of Shadow feels like an unfinished puzzle whose pieces don’t fit together.

The Pale Reach offers few reasons to return to Dredge.

The satisfaction I gain from a thorough job well done in Fresh Start is fragile and breaks down the more it is examined.
