While World really brought the series to the next level in terms of graphical capability and level detail, Rise takes a solid step forward in evolving Monster Hunter's gameplay. It's still a tricky game to play with a high skill floor and ceiling, but the series has truly never been...
It's extremely compelling and dangerously addictive; you start an expedition, you fight, gain resources, go back to camp, reset. Then you do it again. It's hypnotic. After a while, it feels like nothing else exists outside of the loop, and you're content to stay in it.
Bravely Default II doesn't exactly break new ground in the saturated JRPG genre, but instead refines and iterates upon the the foundation of the genre itself and the combat system that was introduced in the first game. It's a marked improvement over its predecessors in many ways, and most importantly,...
It's hard to say whether Godfall will receive the support it needs to really help with its longevity in the long run. We've seen so many live service games get a lackluster launch, only to flourish a year or two later. Sea of Thieves did it, No Man's Sky is...
Ubisoft's vision of near-future London is a beautifully realized sandbox world that I loved spending time in, but it's also forgettable and not one that I see myself returning to anytime soon.
Hades feels like a small, but masterful step forward for the roguelite genre as a whole. Maybe there really is no escape from the Underworld, but that's just fine by me; this is a cycle I don't want to end.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim isn't going to blow your mind with a smart story that pushes the tired boundaries of the science fiction genre. What it does offer instead is a jawdroppingly beautiful visual novel experience, intercut with satisfyingly fun gameplay sections where you get to rip apart a bunch...
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a game that I hoped to love, but with all of its shortcomings in the Remastered Edition, maybe some things are just better left in the past.
At the end of the day, I remain conflicted about Xenoblade Chronicles as a whole. Despite loving the combat system and all its complex intricacies (Arts! Skill Links! Affinity!), as a game it just feels ridiculously bloated. With a story that's just of middling quality, at least in this reviewer's...
The additions introduced in Royal allow Persona 5 to become the excellent JRPG it was always truly meant to be, and it's a wonderful effort that will surely be appreciated by fans.
Little Town Hero. How do I even begin to describe Little Town Hero? Well, I’ll say this much: if, prior to reading this review, you thought the game looked quirky, fun, interesting, or any combination of the aforementioned adjectives, let me nip that in the bud right now. You’re probably...
This might be one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever written, and the reason for that is twofold. One, I’m still not entirely sure just what to make of the overall story of AI: The Somnium Files. And two, there are so many good ideas here that are bogged down...
