Jess’s Game Clearing Reviews

Release Year: 2022 System: Switch Date Finished: January 24th Status: Beaten It’s Picross. The 8th of the series on Switch. The one major new thing in this one is 4 player multiplayer….for all those households full of Picross enthusiasts. If you like Picross…well it’s more, so buy it I guess.

Release Year: 2014 System: Xbox Series S Date Finished: January 20th Status: Completed Neat point-and-click adventure game where you switch between 2 different protagonists in 2 separate settings. The puzzles can get pretty obtuse, especially in the second act imo, but I still really enjoyed the story with its surprising twists and fun characters. I’d recommend checking it out on Game Pass, but also maybe having a guide on standby.

Release Year: 2020 System: Xbox Series S Date Finished: January 16th Status: Beaten With a top-down perspective, you go from square room to square room dodging a variety of discs/saw blades, sometimes getting so crazy it feels like a bullet hell without being able to attack back. You do get some abilities to make things a bit easier though, like a dash or slowing time briefly. Generally pretty fun though some of the challenges later on can get a bit obtuse, though the optional puzzles are fairly clever. A side goal is dying from every disc type, and that’s not always as simple as it may seem. Definitely recommend trying it if you have Game Pass!

Release Year: 2007 System: Xbox Series S Date Finished: January 12th Status: Beaten It’s fucking Peggle, what more am I supposed to say
