Review | Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate - World of Smash

So here we are, Nintendo have released Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate, the latest in their smash-hit, company-wide fighting game series. The hype leading up to this game was intense, with this being billed as the definitive game in the franchise, with more stages and characters than ever before.

Octopath Traveler | Review ... Sorta

Octopath Traveler is Square-Enix's latest RPG, and was recently released for the Nintendo switch, and actually had quiet a bit of hype behind it, at least amongst RPG enthusiasts.

So the question is, does it live up to that hype? Well, read on to find out...

So for now, I guess you could consider this a provisional review if you wanted.
