🥊 Review: Punch Club "Comes out swinging but struggles in the last rounds" 🥊 #IndieGame #GameDev

Game Title: Punch Club

Developer: Lazy Bear Games

Platform Reviewed: Nintendo Switch

Rating: Melting

As I played Punch Club, the game that came to mind was World Championship Boxing Manager, a personal classic that I loved back on the Amiga 500.

Whilst the games differ in many ways, the essentials of building skills up to rise through the rankings remain the same and it’s a genre that is quite thin on the ground, more so with an injection of humour.  

After a strong start and an interesting setup, Punch Club stumbles more and more the longer it is played and eventually the heavy grinding and micro-managing wore me down.

🔫 Review: Garage - Nintendo Switch "Just Needs a Slight Tuning Up" 🔫 #IndieGame #GameDev

Game Title – Garage

Platform Reviewed – Nintendo Switch

Developer – tinyBuild Games

Garage is a top-down shooter with horror elements that is set entirely underground.

With Hotline Miami and the Sega Saturn / PlayStation game Loaded as touchstones, Garage gets a lot right but has some issues running throughout that reduce the ‘one more go’ factor that can make or break these types of games.
