Super Mario Bros. Wonder
The 3D Mario games continue to innovate with each entry however, the 2D Mario games have been stagnant for close to a decade. I am happy to report that Super Mario Bros. Wonder finally brings back that creativity and innovation to the 2D Mario games in spades. The game brings back this creativity through the…

Metroid Dread
I have always been more of a fan of the Metroid Prime games than the 2D entries of the franchise. Dread was pretty much my first foray into the 2D entries in the series. I came away from the experience mostly positive but also not without frustrations. First off, this is easily the best looking…

Bayonetta 3
While Bayonetta 3 is my least favorite entry in the series, it still provides the over the top action that fans of the series crave. This entry shakes up the formula by adding a new protagonist Viola. Unfortunately, Viola’s chapters are the weakest and she just is not as fun to play as Bayonetta is. …

Kirby and the Forgotten Land
After playing the atrocity that was Kirby Star Allies, I had almost lost hope that this franchise that I grew up playing would ever be good again. Thankfully, the Forgotten Land is a great return to form that brings Kirby into the 3D realm. Do not confuse this as Kirby’s version of Super Mario Odyssey.…

Pikmin 4
I grew up playing the Pikmin games and I have many childhood memories of playing the games and being blown away at the creativity of it all. Pikmin 4 is a solid entry in the franchise that may be a bit divisive for some fans. This is the most accessible Pikimin and the least challenging…

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong Remake
I did not play the original game so I can only comment on this remake. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a puzzle platformer that shows its age however, it remains fun for bite sized play sessions. You can tell this game was originally made for a handheld since the gameplay is simple and not meant…

Princess Peach: Showtime!
Princess Peach showtime is the game equivalent of a show like Paw Patrol where, your kids will like it (if you have them) but there is nothing there to entertain you as an adult. As a person in their mid 30’s, I am probably not the best person to review this game as I am…

Warioware: Move It!
Warioware: Move it! Is a return to form for the franchise. The microgames in this entry are fun and quick just like the best entries of the series. This is a great party game that goes toe to toe to the Mario Party franchise and is best played with as many friends you can wrangle.…

Super Mario Party Jamboree
Jamboree is easily the best main entry in the series in a decade. This entry is packed with content, and if you love the core gameplay of Mario Party, this is a game you will keep coming back to. The minigames here are great with only a few duds here and there. The boards here…

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope
Sparks of Hope is a solid sequel that retains the challenging yet accessible tactics gameplay of the first entry. Like most video game sequels, Sparks of Hope is bigger in scale than the first entry. Instead of a map with individual levels there are now open maps that are filled with collectibles, optional puzzles, and…
