Seeing as it's still Winter I feel it's an alright time to take a look back at one of the Switch's cooler deckbuilding roguelikes. That deckbuilding roguelike being Chucklefish's "Wildfrost". This Wintry themed indie that looks like it would be at home in an 'Adventure Time' cartoon harbors it's on art style, unique characters, and interesting mechanics. As the hero of a tribe you must face off against the opposing forces at hand in lane and turn based tactical combat on a map of branching paths filled with points of opportunity.

The Legend of Cyber Cowboy | PS5 Review
Eastasiasoft, and their onboard developer aim to wow Westerners this New Year with their own take on "The Binding of Isaac"! This inspired indie is about as straightforward as they get though. Missing the mark completely with a lack of additional features, a plot, and fair gameplay mechanics. You are simply a cyber cowboy in a cyber version of the Wild West taking out baddies room by room as you loot them for coin that can be spent on limited use gun upgrades.
Additionally at your disposal is your gun of choice, your health, a stamina meter, and the ability to dash out of harm's way tied to the limited stamina. With these tools you must not only go room to room cleaning house but must face giant bullet hell bosses who are brutally unforgiving, and damn near undefeatable.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Late Season Retrospect
I am currently deep into chapter 6 season 1 of Fortnite, and I have to admit it has turned out to be one of the more interesting chapter starters. Everything from the Japanese themed map to the neo-feudal character designs really hit the spot. While the chapter started off with a huge XP earnings problem that has since been resolved through Epic Games adding a lot of new ways to unlock tiers on the battle pass things have seemingly worked out for the best. The initial adjustment to the battle star system was rightfully met with criticism, but it was nice to see Epic correct course.
