The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn’t necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the highest scoring game in a review, the game with the best graphics, or really any other quantifiable “best" thing. Instead, it’s more just us picking out the single game out of the week’s releases that we think is

Lacking meat on its bones, Skelattack has disjointed pieces and parts that add up to create an awkward, though heartwarming, side-scrolling platformer. You can see snippets of a precise platformer in Skelattack, but they are too sporadic and underutilized to really make you sweat. In a game centered on a human invasion of the afterlife, there sure aren't very many enemies, and most of them remain in place or move like molasses, emulating the dead far more than the warm-blooded humans they're supposed to be. Skelattack's identity crisis is further

It was just over a year ago that we first caught wind of an upcoming game called Monolisk (Free) from developer Trickster Arts, which looked to fuse the action-focused adventuring of something like Bastion with the community-driven level creation aspects of something like Mario Maker. And heck, “Bastion meets Mario Maker" sure is a hell of a prospect on paper. We followed along with the game’s development over the next several months until Monolisk was finally released in mid-October. Unfortunately, that golden idea on paper didn’t quite translate as well

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 12th, 2020. In today’s article, we’ve got an absolute ton of new releases to summarize. Apparently several games dropped out of nowhere yesterday while I was sleeping snug in my bed, so between those and the actual Friday releases, there’s a lot to deal with. Beyond that, I’ve also got a list of the new sales that popped up. Smaller than usual, because just about everything is on sale already. Let’s have a look! New Releases Warborn ($24.99) SwitchArcade

Spike Lee has been one of America's most important and prolific filmmakers for over 30 years, but like all directors with long and diverse careers, he has experienced various levels of critical and commercial success. Prior to 2018, his last major box office success was 2006's heist thriller Inside Man, but the success of Blackkklansman was a very welcome reminder of Lee's immense gift as both a fiery social commentator and consummate cinematic craftsman. For his next movie, Lee has teamed up with Netflix to deliver the sprawling and powerful

The Last of Us Part II is still a week away from launching, and the general consensus from review is that it's going to feel like a long wait. The latest from Naughty Dog, The Last of Us Part II picks up a few years after the PS3 original, following Ellie on a bloody path of revenge. It's bleak, tragic and gut-wrenching, but a tale most reviews suggest you don't miss. Overall critic reception has been incredibly positive, with a few caveats. In GameSpot's own 8/10 spoiler-free review for The

Like its predecessor, your playtime to complete The Last of Us Part 2 can vary pretty wildly. You can choose to play Naughty Dog's stealth horror game in a fairly slow, methodical way if you're careful enough to sneak past the humans and infected who stand in your way. And compared to its predecessor, The Last of Us 2 is quite a bit bigger, with the larger areas to explore and scavenge for supplies. Though your mileage may literally vary, here's how long it takes to beat The Last of

Before you're even 100% certain of what you're doing or who you are in Project Warlock, you're put in a room with a magical throwing knife, a staff that shoots lightning, and a couple of pissed-off spiders who aren't there to thank you for playing their game. Within 10 seconds of starting, I'm back in high school, in 1998, installing any old creaky Doom WAD a friend tells me about over AIM for the hell of it, without a single blessed clue what needs doing except that anything that isn't
