Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered relies more on nostalgia than on modern gaming components for its appeal, but if you're seeking epic kaiju battle action, you'll eat it up like it's Shosaku Takasugi's corn cob gun.Read More
I was so intrigued when I learned about Ratatan that I bought Patapon 1 + 2 Replay to prepare for it. That was a good idea, but although the games share some members on their development teams, they offer quite different experiences.Read More
I'm not sure what's more difficult: inventing time travel or displaying it in fiction in a way that makes any sense at all. Neither has ever been done successfully, after all. But that didn't stop the writers of STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT from trying, and their risk is our reward.Read More
Warrior Orochi 3: Hyper for the Wii U made me a permanent fan Musou games, but not enough to go backwards and try past releases. With Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered, KOEI TECMO has brought the past to me, and they did a solid job of it.Read More
Woodo

Are you ready to sit at the adult table? Because Brigandine Abyss has an open chair for you. And although you'll be expected to carry yourself with the proper turn-based tactics etiquette, you'll find the setting is more welcoming than it has been in the past.Read More

You don't get much guidance in Helix: Descent N Ascent, nor does it provide a lot of character interaction. What you do get is plenty of mystery, ambiguous puzzles, and some of the more interesting visuals I've seen in quite some time.Read More
Nintendo support for the Devil May Cry series has been patchy, as has my interest. Having now worked through Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition, I can say with certainty that the latter is no longer an issue.Read More
70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X is the type of game you have to share with your friends. Well, certain friends. It's a game made specifically for those who get it, and in this case, the "it" is defined right there in the title.Read More
My favorite entertainment genre is skeleton. The Necromancer's Tale for Nintendo Switch 2 includes plenty of skeletons, so why did I not enjoy it as much as expected? Let's check some boxes.Read More
The eShop description of Realm of Ink explains, "Death is not the end; it's just a chance to redefine your destiny through cycles of death and rebirth." Whereas that would be awful in reality, you're going to need that cycle here.Read More
