Farm Together: Fascinating Blend of Time-Gating Animal Crossing and Farm Sim
I'm really into farming games lately. Ten days ago I picked up one that just came out on the Switch called Farm Together. I was completely surprised by the type…

We were watching the Nintendo Direct the other day for the Nintendo Switch, and while the games list was decent, it was coming to a close without any 'wow' moments.Then…
As of last night my wife and I (I will now say "we") officially finished the Kingdom Hearts series! This is a huge accomplishment for us, and one we've been…
I originally meant to write this post with my Diablo 3 Switch impressions last weekend, but I decided to delay my thoughts until Graev and I had gone just a little bit further with the game. Right now we’re just about paragon 400 on our Crusader (Keen) and Necromancer (Graev). I feel like that has given us sufficient time to experience everything Diablo 3 has to offer, and experience it long enough on the Switch to give our thoughts.
Yes, Diablo 3 on the Switch is exactly the same game as the PC version. The major differences are found in the user interface, particularly with gear management.
To equip gear, you’re given a picture of your character with a radial menu. Gear slots comprise a complete circle around you, and you’ll simply move the left stick around to the item you want to explore. On the right side will be a list of the items in your inventory for that slot. Choosing one will equip that item and send it one step further to the right to indicate it is equipped. From there you can compare items on the left to items you have equipped on the right.
The only change we found so far unrelated to gear management is that items you drop can not be picked up by group members. After some Googling, we found that this is working as intended for all console versions in order to avoid duping and leaderboard exploiting.
Putting items into your chest works identically. Instead of the right area being what’s equipped, it’s what’s in the chest. This system is nice because it eliminates the ‘one giant inventory’ of the chest and sorts it by slots. I do miss my own organization system at times.
There are so many glorious things I can say about Red Dead Redemption 2, but I keep being thwarted by the game's biggest flaw. RDR2's control scheme and interface are…
I'm loving this recent trend of Microsoft and Nintendo getting along where multiplayer cross-play is concerned. Minecraft's Better Together update is out today for the Switch, allowing Switch, Xbox, iOS,…
I'm really, really shocked how much I'm digging Paladins. Graev and I are able to play together seamlessly on the Switch by simply forming a party via Nintendo friends. So…
We picked up Paladins on the Switch when it came out two days ago. I hadn’t played Paladins previously on PC or console, but I had hard a little bit…
