Bayonetta Origins: Cereza & the Lost Demon is a great game. I'll even argue it's better than Bayonetta 3. If that offends, I urge you to read this review (or just download the demo and try it) before asking to speak to my editor-in-chief.Read More

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse centers around the exploration of exceptionally creepy environments: a sanatorium, an infirmary, a lighthouse, and others on Rogetsu Isle. Should you risk the trip?Read More

Chained Echoes
By now, you've likely heard the accolades for Matthias Linda's throwback JRPG, Chained Echoes. Believe every word of it. This is a fantastic game that succeeds at everything it sets out to accomplish.Read More
Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered provides JRPG fans yet another opportunity to learn from whence the genre came. I'm always wary of doing this, and Minstrel Song is a good example as to why.Read More
Samurai Maiden
An action-adventure game featuring Nobunaga Oda? Go on. And sword-fighting skeletons? Go on! And a team of kunoichi who draw power by kissing each other? GO…kay.Read More
