The Nameless City is a horror walking simulator, brought to you by the same publisher who brought you Caligo. You walk through an ugly brown city picking up glyphs which you use to solve puzzle ala Eternal Darkness. Unfortunately, I did not get very far because there are movies that run like crap on the Switch, one of them even crashed my game! Yes, I ended up at this screen and went to write this review:

Lovely!

It is unfortunate, The Nameless City was shaping up to be decent, with some serious puzzle potential later, but I’m not going to put with stutters up and crashing, on the Switch of all Machines. The game does draw directly from Lovecraftian Mythology, even name dropping Abdul Alhazred. There is voice acting. But that’s not enough to overcome poor performance. The Nameless City gets a four score and a not Recommended Verdict.

Overall: The Nameless City had some serious potential for Lovecraftian Horror, but poor performance sunk it.

Verdict: Not Recommended

Score: 4

Aery Calm Horizon Switch Review

Aery Calm Horizon is a “greatest hits” for the franchise, but its still largely as boring and ugly as the rest. May have some charm for some.
