Hegzis is a puzzle game played on a hexagonal grid, with connected hex pieces for you to place and rotate on the field. When a full line of hexagon pieces go from one side to another, they’ll disappear. Do this enough times to clear the level. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Pilo and the Holobook (Switch, PS5, Xbox X/S, PC)
Posted on May 12th, 2025 by
When you were little, did you ever have a sticker album? It seemed to be a popular thing when I was a youngster back in the 80s anyway. Not sure if they’d allure today’s technology savvy kids or not, but what if I told you now there’s a game about filling up a sticker album! Because that’s just what you do in Pilo and the Holobook. In the game, you play as Pilo, a little humanoid fox critter who assists a Professor. This Professor has just invented a Holobook. Just point the Holobook at something and it’ll scan it and make a sticker out of it that you can then place in the book and it’ll store info on it like an encyclopedia. So your job as Pilo is to go from planet to planet scanning everything you can to fill up the Holobook. The game is available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Cozy Stitch Puzzle (Switch)

Piece together pictures of cute plush animals (or maybe they’re stitched on patches, I don’t know) in Cozy Stitch Puzzle on Switch. It’s very similar to a game I reviewed last year called Magic Cats Pots.

You’ll just have to read on to find out what it is! Tales of Autumn is available on Switch and PC but reviewed on Switch here.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on May 2nd, 2025 by
Back in the 90s, 3D platformers starring colorful mascot characters were all the rage, even in the early days. One of the first ones out of the gate on the PlayStation was Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. It was made by Argonaut, yes the same folks who helped create the original Star Fox. I remember playing this on a demo disc (remember those) back then and not liking it. Mainly because the controls were awkward. This was back before the PSOne had analog sticks, so Croc had more tankish controls. It took a while before the PlayStation had quality 3D platformers as good as the N64 ones. Me personally, they didn’t catch up until Ape Escape and maybe Spyro. Anyway, because I didn’t like the first Croc game on the demo disc, I skipped out on the other entries in the series. Turns out there was a lot more than I thought. There was a 3D sequel as well as a handful of 2D games on handheld and mobile devices. And I’ve watched a lot of videos with gamers saying they loved Croc as a kid. I’m willing to give games a second chance, so I’m glad I got to review this remaster. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Moving Houses (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on April 30th, 2025 by
About a year and a half ago as of this writing, I had to move out of the house I lived in for over 20 years and pack up all my things and I didn’t really enjoy it. So why would I want to play a game about packing up and moving? Well I guess we’ll find out with Moving Houses. It’s available on all current game consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Neko Bakery (Switch)

Man these games where you fit things inside a box must be pretty popular, or easy to make. Because in the past year, I’ve reviewed these types of games where you fit cats into boxes, zoo animals on a pool float, dogs on a bed, and food in a bento box. And now here’s one where you fit breads, pastries, and other tasty treats in a bread basket!
Sonokuni (Switch, PC)
Posted on April 21st, 2025 by
Sonokuni has got to be one of the weirdest games I’ve ever played. You are Takeru, a female Japanese warrior and you must fight your way through a biopunk Japanese hip-hop landscape. Whatever that is. View the action in an overhead perspective with trippy visuals and a crazy soundtrack. Sonokuni is available for Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Rendering Ranger: R2 Rewind (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on April 18th, 2025 by
I love the Super Nintendo. It’s my favorite game console and while I was around for the Atari 2600 and NES, it was the SNES that really cemented my love for console games. And that’s why I love getting to check out SNES games I never got to play. Such is the case with Rendering Ranger. It was a game that was only released in Japan and it was a very limited release, too, so it’s pretty rare. It’s a run and gun that uses pre-rendered graphics like Donkey Kong Country, which was big at the time. The game is now available to download on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
