I am a self-proclaimed Monster Hunter noob. My first foray into the series began with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3DS, which I promptly dropped after hours of clunky gameplay, but I dived right back in with this year’s Monster Hunter: World and fell in love with the endless...
It’s not hard at all to see where Death’s Gambit’s inspirations came from. The collection of shards, the bonfire-like checkpoints, and the interconnected world and level design all make it abundantly clear: similar to Salt and Sanctuary, Death’s Gambit is a 2D Souls-like that serves as an adoring love letter...
Octopath Traveler has rekindled a sense of fondness that I haven’t felt in JRPGs since I completed Persona 4 for the very first time. You know the feeling —that wonderful sentiment of adventure and mystery as you embark on a journey with a group of friends, resolving major problems together...
Stepping into the museum for the first time was like entering Disneyland. Your character wraps themselves in a colored cloak as they take their first tentative steps into the museum, alongside dozens of other excited patrons keen on seeing the artifacts and arcana of the wizards of yore.

Here’s a fun little tidbit about Dark Souls. As you approach the walkway to the keep where Andre the blacksmith is located, you can bait an enemy Hollow into following you. Tilt the camera downwards so it looks like you’re playing the game from a top-down angle, parry and riposte...

While one could certainly fault it for being far too linear, for its choices not having enough of an impact on its narrative like so many other story-driven titles out there, A Way Out handles itself with an air of confidence and panache rarely seen in games of the same...
The first thing you need to understand about Into the Breach is that you are going to die. A lot. In fact, you’re probably going to die about 20 times before you even manage to clear the first island. It’s no problem, though; dying is simply a core part of...
When you ignore the shady underbelly of microtransactions and in-game purchases, Metal Gear Survive offers a fairly solid, if somewhat congested, survival game experience. It’s certainly not the best Metal Gear spin-off we’ve seen thus far – that honor goes to Acid – but it’s not completely horrible either. In...
2,649. That’s how many times I’ve died while playing through Celeste’s main story chapters. I realize it might look a bit extreme, dying that many times in a six to seven hour-long video game, but it’s a number I’m particularly proud of.
