REVIEW Dragon Quest Treasures — "This is the type of game I will happily sink hours into without caring about whether or not I'm actually progressing beyond just building up my cache. A perfect game for those long winter nights".

REVIEW Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered — "another fine entry in a franchise that is well represented on Switch.
