Borderlands 4 is exactly what you’d expect, and that’s mostly a good thing. It’s loud, crude, and absolutely overflowing with guns, loot, and over-the-top explosions. Gearbox has doubled down on what makes the series click while fine-tuning the gunplay and adding a greater sense of freedom through its expanded movement...
Super Robot Wars Y is a celebration of the history of giant robots, bringing countless mecha and pilots together across time to fight back against a galactic force of enemies in tactical RPG grid-based combat.

Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion shakes off the comparisons to Armored Core by boldly reinventing itself.

After Rune Factory 5, which was a bit of a rough transition for the series as it made the jump to 3D, I was a little unsure if they would be able to stick the landing on the second attempt. I am happy to report that Rune Factory: Guardians of...
SaGa Frontier 2 tells an ambitious, generational story that involves two major familial lines over the years and the way a mysterious object intertwines these stories. Originally a little bit of a messier experience, SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered smoothes out some of the rougher edges and adds some greatly appreciated...
Combat has that serotonin feeding gameplay that I’ve always loved, but with a little bit less going on behind the scenes. Romancing SaGa 2 does a fantastic job of communicating to the player how these systems work and what you can do to influence them. They have added the timeline...
Speaking of online, this entry features a much more interesting online system than before. You can join lobbies, meet people while running around as an avatar of your chosen Gunpla, join Clans, do missions together, compete in tournaments, and more. It’s cool to see a bigger focus on trying to...
