Ugh.

[Review] Star Fox 2 (SNES)
It’s way past time I finally got around to playing this on my SNES mini. It’s an interesting kind of sequel that’s very different to the first but still fits right in, and has a lot of ambitious ideas to it.

[Review] Overcooked 2 (PS4)
Overcooked 2 is an exemplary sequel, delivering more of the same madcap task-juggling while layering on new inventive kitchen chaos.

[Review] The Pinball Wizard (Apple TV)
I’m always on board for a pinball adventure, so I was keen to try this on Apple Arcade.

[Review] What the Golf? (Apple TV)
While browsing Apple Arcade, this silly golf game caught my eye, considering my and my brother’s mutual appreciation of minigolf games. It exceeded all my expectations with its surprising zaniness!

[Review] Rayman Mini (Apple TV)
The Rayman mobile games have been consistently great to play, but hampered by distribution conventions on the platform. Is Mini any different?

[Review] Panzer Dragoon Orta (XB)
Orta is the perfect gateway to Sega’s well-regarded rail-shooter series: it’s seen as the best of the lot, and also contains the original game as an unlockable bonus! You just have to own the Xbox Zero, which luckily I do.

[Review] Rayman Origins (PSVita)
I’m anticipating playing Rayman Mini soon, so I thought I’d revisit my favourite Rayman game while also catching up on this port. Is it the definitive version…??

[Review] Toki Tori 2+ (Wii U)
Toki Tori 2 is perhaps slightly less ruthlessly difficult than its predecessor, and expands the puzzling out into a large immersive world. It’s a very nice sequel!

[Review] Toki Tori (3DS)
This puzzle game’s cute looks belie how much it was able to stump and frustrate me at times. But its charm and quality of life features won me over in the end.

[Review] Race the Sun (PSVita)
Did I say that InnerSpace had a stark minimalism to it? Well get a load of this!

[Review] InnerSpace (PS4)
I was in the mood for flight, and this fit the bill. It’s equal parts disorienting and enthralling.

[Review] Snake Pass (PS4)
Snake Pass wants you to learn to move like a snake. Not only is it successful as a snake simulator, it’s simply stunning to see and lisssten to.

[Review] Super Monkey Ball 3D (3DS)
I was in a Hideki Naganuma mood today, so I played this game that he contributed some tracks to. As a game, it’s fine.

[Review] New Zealand Story Revolution (DS)
For a change of pace, I played this DS remix of a Taito arcade classic. The changes are a mixed bag to be sure, but it’s a cute little adventure with some fun ideas.
