Seemingly every year at this time I play a game that makes me wonder if it's too early to declare my GOTY. Is Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun that game this year? Yes. Yes, it is.Read More
I'm new to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. My introduction should've happened at another place and time. Rogue Trader may very well be a good game, but it most definitely is not a good game on the Switch 2.Read More
Dynasty Warriors: Origins offers the most intense musou combat Nintendo gamers have ever experienced. It's also the most complex, and the management details will lessen the thrill for some players.Read More
This series has grown into one of the deepest and most convoluted universes I've ever adventured through, but that doesn't prevent The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon from being an enjoyable game with many rewards for those who've been following along.Read More

Persona 3 Reload is a blast from start to finish, maintaining a balance and focus that many less ambitious adventures have trouble executing. It's not a title I'd recommend to everyone, but those who are open to its concepts will be thrilled.Read More
