Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden brings an unusual and quirky mix of themes to the Nintendo Switch – tower defense meets bug-blasting arcade action, all wrapped up in a charming 2D package starring two young vampires defending their undead dad’s pumpkin patch. With its single-screen design, simplified controls, and approachable challenge level, it’s a game that feels built for short bursts of classic arcade fun, either solo or in local co-op. But while its concept and visual style show promise, the repetitive structure and limited evolution of gameplay mechanics mean it doesn’t quite have the bite to stay engaging long-term.

Outgunned Adventure review
Outgunned Adventure, the first genre book in Free League’s Outgunned RPG line, trades spy thrillers and heist fantasies for the jungle-choked ruins and supernatural relics of classic adventure cinema hits. Inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones and The Mummy, it expands the action-oriented framework of the original Outgunned into a stand-alone system for quick-fire treasure-hunting campaigns (though it can also be played as an expansion). While some of its systems show signs of strain under increased narrative ambition, the result is still an exhilarating genre romp that captures the momentum and drama of its source material – making it a great crossover entry for cinema fans.

100 in 1 Game Collection review (Switch)
100 in 1 Game Collection on the Nintendo Switch might sound like the ultimate value proposition – a treasure chest of classic arcade-style diversions, bundled together into a single, easy-to-digest package. Developed by Digital Bards and published by Maximum Entertainment, this compilation expands upon their earlier “30 in 1” volumes by adding even more titles and unifying them into a single framework. On paper, it’s a mini-game fan’s dream – but while quantity is certainly here, quality isn’t always consistent, and the overall experience depends heavily on your tolerance for simplicity, repetition, and uneven pacing – and how quickly you’ll pick out some fun minigames to keep coming back to.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster review (PS5)
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is more than just a visual overhaul of a cult classic – it’s a thoughtful modernization of one of the most influential sci-fi horror games in gaming history. Originally released in 1999, Looking Glass Studios’ ambitious hybrid of immersive sim, FPS, and RPG mechanics is brought back to life once more by Nightdive Studios with the respect and care it deserves. And while some age lines are still visible beneath the polished surface, this remaster makes a strong case for why System Shock 2 remains as unsettling, engaging, and clever today as it was 25 years ago.
