First Look: Not long ago @Konami announced ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection’ via Sony’s State of Play event. The trailer showed several of the games to be included, now Konami and @DigitalEclipse have some more news to share.

Dearest @celeste_game — do you have any updates or DLC plans? We’d love to find out here at yestermade.com — feel free to write [email protected] and many thanks for creating such a surprisingly awesome pixel hit!
Fresh review in! Revita is a new competitor in the packed roguelike arena. Released in Early Access last year, it has received good praise. Now ready, it launches in complete form on #Switch and Steam on April 21. Does it have what it takes? @BenstarDEV

Retrocade Review: The game’s brilliance lies in its simplicity and intuitiveness. I expected it to be riddled with flaws as most first attempts are. It controls extremely tightly and looks marvelous for the time not only the graphics its animations too.

Tristan Jurkovich played @SquareEnix, Artdink & Nintendo’s ‘Triangle Strategy’ for a month to provide you with an honest, fair, and meaningful review. You should go ahead and check it out, if only for the gorgeous HD-2D art (that Square has trademarked.)

Another ICYMI; ‘Dawn of the Monsters’ seems a bit inspired by the old classic arcade game Rampage — it is well worth the read and the review has some amazing screenshots. @WayForward & @13amgames

The visuals of ‘Red Wings: American Aces’ are unique and slick, employing an edgy cel-shaded look — a style not often seen in air-combat games, and one that gives the game a light-hearted, Nintendo-ish vibe. Nice screens included. #WW1 @AllinGamesPub

If you missed Daniel @dhpinh Pinheiro’s thoughtful review of @Roll_7’s @OlliOlligame World, we recommend you read it — let’s just say it’s a phenomenally fun, well-made game with genuine craftsmanship behind it. [Edited by @Eisendust] @PrivateDivision

The arcade industry may not be as abundant as it was in the age of denim and headbands, but the progenitor of modern video games is far from dead. Companies like @arcade_1up & @sternpinballinc have been working overtime — read on as @ProtoGhast reports.

Developed by France’s finest — @MotionTwin — ‘Dead Cells’ has received a whopping 27 updates which have implemented everything from balance patches to new biomes. With a fresh perspective, we examine the game in its current state to see how it holds up.
