Achilles: Legends Untold – Nintendo Switch Review

As someone who's a huge fan of Achilles mythology, souls-like games and needed more reasons to use my Nintendo Switch, I was very excited to be able to get my hands on Achilles: Legends Untold. Initially released in 2022, the game released by Dark Point Games SA came to Switch this January and tells the story of Achilles following his story through the battle of Troy where he's meant to face his destiny. Currently available on the Switch Store for £13.99 - is it worth adding to your Steam library? I've sunk a fair few hours (and ships) into the game to give you some insight. Telling the Untold Legend one chapter at a time Gameplay The story of Achilles has been done so many times and very rarely can you find something that does it different.

Star Trek Legends – Switch Review

It’s always a pleasure to see Star Trek games hit new platforms. With such a rich universe spanning decades of television and film, there’s plenty of potential for captivating storytelling, tactical battles, and deep exploration. Star Trek Legends, developed by Emerald City Games and published by Qubic Games, attempts to bring all of this to the Nintendo Switch. However, after spending too much time staring at loading screens, I wondered whether my time would have been better spent playing Kobayashi Maru: The Home Edition. Originally a mobile game on Apple Arcade, Star Trek Legends promises a gacha-free experience with many legendary characters to recruit and command. Star Trek Legends  – A Not-So-Boldly Going Mobile Port I was genuinely excited to dive into Star Trek Legends, eager to c...

Let’s Sing 2025 – Switch Review

Released back in November, Let's Sing 2025 has brought karaoke to wherever you are. Developed by Voxler, Published by Plaion and released on pretty much every console out. We were lucky enough to get sent a press box that contained some awesome goodies, thanks again Plaion! Of course the bit we were most interested in was the game itself, oh, and the microphones of course. Tone Deaf or Pitch Challenged? Do you have a favourite karaoke track? The smallest member of the TC Mini Crew begged us to do Sweet Caroline. Not sure what that is all about, but we went with it! Although heads up, if you're looking to play this with small children, the official age rating on this game is 12. This is mainly down to the large catalogue of songs available to you, especially with the VIP Pass, but alwa...

FAITH – Nintendo Switch Review

What you are about to do is not approved by the Vatican. FAITH by Airdorf Games launched on PC in 2022 and has finally come to Nintendo Switch. The closest I've ever got to 2D VHS horror is Five Night at Freddy's so this was a whole new horror adventure for me.

Here at Thumb Culture, we covered the news of the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom last month. Since then I've been taking my time with the game to make sure I give it a fair review.

No time like the present I guess! Here Come The Girls You can buy a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom right now on the Nintendo Store. Simple, you don't even need Navi to guide you! Gameplay As mentioned above, I've never been a massive Legend of Zelda fan, I've always dipped my toe in and tried the games just in case my feelings changed.

Caravan SandWitch – Switch Review

The Caravan SandWitch is an indie adventure game that was released for PC, PlayStation, and Switch on the 12th September 2024. Developed by French studio Plane Toast, and published by Dear Villagers. Caravan SandWitch’s gentle approach to exploration, beautiful world, and mysterious plot draw players into a sweet experience - even if the Switch sometimes struggles to keep up. Caravan SandWitch – A Cosy Drive Across the Dunes I started playing Caravan SandWitch as a particularly grey weekend set in over Southern England.

Across the Obelisk, developed by Dreamsite Games and published by Paradox Interactive, is a roguelike deckbuilding game that pulls players into a world of card-based strategy. In this fantasy adventure, you'll craft powerful decks, make crucial decisions, and lead a party of heroes through a turmoil-filled realm. The game's blend of strategic depth, replayability, and cooperative elements offers an engaging experience that can be enjoyed solo or with friends. They didn't just make it Across the Obelisk. They smashed it. The mix of strategic deckbuilding and a rogue-lite element hooked me from the start.
