I’m not sure which of the DLC campaigns for Pokemon we’ve gotten in the last 12 months I prefer, but they are similar. Both Mega Dimension and the Indigo Disk focus on double battles and high level combat plus bring in Pokemon that were hard-to-impossible to get on Switch before....
This second generation of Pokemon games on the Switch - Scarlet, Violet, and Legends: Z-A - has repeatedly gone back and forth between “we are so cooked” and “we are so back”. Pokemon Legends: Z-A has basically distilled that down to one game, because it feels like everything that annoyed...
If it wasn’t for the flood of RPGs I still have to play this year, I think this would be “teh urn” for Persona 3. As it sits, I do want to see this one through to graduation, knowing full well what awaits me there, and the 45 minute /...
Obviously the simplest solution to get some Uchikoshi-helmed escape games would be if the Zero Escape trilogy were cleaned up a bit and brought out on modern Nintendo hardware. But in lieu of that, No Sleep for Kaname Date will probably keep you up for a bit as you try...
A million years isn’t an appropriate sentence for amnesia sufferers, but I’d consider it for trope overuse.
We’re about to see the game that truly put Type-Moon on the map this week as of press time in Fate/Stay Night Remastered, but I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to jump right into it coming off of Tsukihime. Especially knowing that there’s another set of stories...
That said, I’ve learned my lesson and will be waiting until the enhanced version for Metaphor: ReFantazio - which hopefully will come out on the Switch’s successor.
Cupid Parasite: Sweet and Spicy Darling might be the first fandisc on the Switch that manages to do to the original what Pokemon Platinum did to Diamond and Pearl: the second attempt completely subsumed the original. There are even reminder points as to what happened with each of the suitors...
Sympathy Kiss
It’s good to see that Sympathy Kiss is strong on the technical end, it just didn’t click with me. If you’re a little more amenable to dealing with people at the office, you’ll be able to get through it quickly and easily. I’m more of the kind who wants to...
I never got into Mario + Rabbids despite multiple attempts, mostly due to the Rabbids, but throwing characters I care about into this formula worked really well for me. Persona 5 Tactica is certainly the most replayable Persona game in years for someone who doesn’t try to see every romance...
Fire Emblem, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering walk into a tavern… that was one wild party. UPDATED with score September 23.
Original: “Give me an ounce of civit, good apothecary, to sweeten my imagination.” Modern: “I need a freaking drink to write this.”
