I know it's not the most popular game in the series, but there is a special place in my heart for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Sure, Fi is annoying, but it's one outstanding adventure with beautiful visuals and dynamic boss battles. ...

The Nintendo Switch has been missing some good golf games, but that's going to change this summer. 

In 2019, two games set in space set the gaming world on fire. One was The Outer Worlds, which won a heap of awards at the end of the year, including Destructoid's Game of the Year. The other was Outer Wilds, and I've seen many peo...

Every once in a while, a game trailer will come across my path that grabs me by the neck and doesn't let go. Untitled Goose Game did that, Gnosia did that, and last night, the trailer for Rain on Your Parade did it as well. F...

Unlike with most of the past Nintendo presentations, this week's Indie World showcase really didn't have a lot for me. I'm moderately interested in Among Us and I guess I should probably get around to playing Spelunky, but really, only...

Next year, the beloved Bokujō Monogatari/Story of Seasons franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and it's doing so in a big way. Not only are we finally getting Rune Factory 5 sometime in 2021, but Switch owners will also...

One of the great things about being Square Enix is it has such a rich and diverse history of RPGs from the NES, SNES, and PlayStation eras it can pull from when it wants to remaster a classic. Case in point, SaGa Frontier. Originally relea...
