Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is such a unique breath of fresh air in the video game world. It’s a cleverly sleeved rhythm game, which makes full use of the regular Kingdom Hearts series combat system. It’s an action RPG with real time combat, magic, items, and level gains set...
Tamarin
Tamarin was created by Chameleon Games, a developer made up of mostly staff from Rare Studios’ glory days on the N64. I was expecting an exploration-based platformer/collect-a-thon, but instead, Tamarin draws its gameplay inspiration from 3rd person shooter Jet Force Gemini. This would have been great new for fans of...
Shinsekai: Into The Depths is a very good underwater-themed Metroidvania game. It has an indie game appearance and style, but was developed by Capcom, who are generally not known for smaller title so much as epic franchises. But here they’ve created a solid Metroidvania experience with some very interesting mechanics...
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a Dynasty Warriors-style musou game based on the popular One Piece manga and anime. The first two Pirate Warriors games were for the PS3, and the third for the PS4. All three games came out between 2012 and 2015. It’s now been 5 years...
MediEvil
For better or worse the ludicrously difficult, but way ahead of its time MediEvil has been remade from the ground up. This is one of the great PS1 classics, and the reason for that, and the reason it has endured all these years, is its excellent Halloweeny presentation. Imagine Tim...
Dragon Quest
Dragon Quest, or Dragon Warrior as it was previously known in North America, is one of those NES games that was a standard of my childhood. It’s now been released in North America for the Nintendo Switch with a fresh coat of paint that makes it the best way to...
The advertising for AI: The Somnium Files really relies on the pedigree of its creator. Kotaro Uchikoshi brings us his first game following the success of the Zero Escape series of games, which if you’re in any way a fan of visual novels, are must plays. As a fan of...
When I was first offered the review for Senran Kagura Peach Ball, I assumed it was a beach volleyball or maybe a dodgeball game. Maybe even a reference to the blue balls this game intends to give some players. But no, the “ball” in said title refers to pinball. For...
I really liked the odd characters that popped up to give the game a narrative. And levels have one semi-unique mechanic, like rescuing people, which is accomplished by hovering over them for a set amount of time.
Wake up and smell the 90s everyone! This game collection covers the licensed games of the 4 cartoons I used to watch from 3pm to 5pm every day after Grade 2. But back in the day (and really, still most of the time today) licensed games are terrible, because they’re...
Imagine if Superbad, Twin Peaks, and Animal Farm had a baby. That’s what Night in the Woods would look like, and it’s that good. The game follows Mae as she moves back to her hometown of Possum Springs because she has decided that college isn’t for her (and for other reasons...
There have been a lot of non-Dynasty Warriors Musou games released by Koei Tecmo in the last couple of years. For those of us that don’t care so much about Chinese history, but do care about franchises like The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Attack on Titan, Koei Tecmo...
