Ori and the Will of the Wisps Switch Review
The word “charming” is bandied about whenever a platformer starring some sort of soft creature is released.

Super Mario 3D World Review
It’s no secret that the Wii U hasn’t sold well at all. It’s been partly due to lack of new first-party titles and also because what we’ve seen so far is a small collection of recycled old games, some being no more than HD remakes of ones from older consoles. So Mario is back to […]
