Salt and Sanctuary was a hit when it was released approximately six million years ago in 2016. It distilled the gritty atmosphere and challenge of Dark Souls into a leaner 2D package. It also shared that games’ predilection for subtextual storytelling and featured a world that was on its last...
You have to hand it to Square Enix. After the terrible reception The Quiet Man got, you’d think it would stay away from FMV games. Well, it did the opposite and published The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story from game studio h.a.n.d. However, even more surprising than the fact that...
Wii Sports was amazingly popular and served as the perfect pack-in game for the Wii. Anyone who booted up the game could immediately see that the Wii’s motion controls weren’t just a gimmick and that the Wiimote set this console apart from any other that had come before it. As...
The final stretch goal for the Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Kickstarter was a companion title that would introduce players to the world and lore before the main game’s release. Rather than take development resources away from Hundred Heroes, Rabbit & Bear Studios partnered with Natsume Atari, and the end result...
Trek to Yomi takes us back to feudal Japan… again. Two of the best games of recent years, Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, shared this setting, and those are lofty heights for which to aspire. My big question heading into the game was if it could distinguish itself from its...
Road 96 from DigixArt centers around the plight of teenagers who are trying to escape an authoritarian nation by crossing the border. It obviously has more than just subtle ties to current events.

Borderlands is a series that’s largely refused to grow with the times. When you put the first and third games next to each other, it’s shocking that there was a decade between them because of how similar they are. So, when Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was announced, I was intrigued as...
Ghostwire: Tokyo is Tango Gameworks‘ third title, and the first it’s produced outside of The Evil Within series. It’s memeorable introduction to the world by Ikumi Nakamura gave players high hopes that it be a quirky outlier in the world of AAA productions. Nearly two years later, we’ve finally got...
Sometimes Square Enix gets weird, and when it does, we get games like Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. Yes, it is a Team Ninja-developed alternate take on the plot of the original Final Fantasy, and yes, that is as crazy as it sounds. It’s a game that’s far from...
Elden Ring
Elden Ring is one of the most anticipated games of all time. Since the reveal trailer was first shown at E3 2019, every little morsel of info about the game has made headlines. George R.R. Martin’s worldbuilding and Hidetaka Miyazaki’s writing and direction seemed like a match made in heaven,...
The follow-up to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the most eagerly anticipated titles of 2022, and for good reason. Its unique sci-fi take on humanity’s future set captivated players and made us want to see Aloy’s story through to the end. Horizon Forbidden West picks up right where...
