Onimusha: Way of the Sword revives the classic series after two decades, bringing a modern approach to the supernatural historical samurai tale.
Square Enix has crafted an excellent Zelda-like adventure with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.
To paraphrase Machiavelli (and that one guy in The Wire), when you come for the king, you’d best not miss. This is the problem inherent in Pokémon-likes — everything in the genre is measured against the 1997 classic. For good or ill, if your main monster isn’t at least as...
Resident Evil Village is perhaps best known for its Tall Vampire Lady, Lady Dimitrescu, who took the internet by storm back in 2021. Well, the crazy people over at Capcom have done what nobody thought possible, and crammed the tall lady into an even smaller screen: that of the Switch...
Remember that sense of adventure you had as a child, eager to explore the world around you? Imagine how much brighter that would burn if your island was the only one in existence. Your father, a renowned sailor, has sailed the seas and found nothing but pilchards as far as...
Cult of the Lamb was easily one of my favourite games of 2022, being a truly unique take on the cult simulator and roguelike battler. It’s a game that has stayed with me over the years, but while it has had a few DLCs over the years, there hasn’t been anything...

Bravely Default was a game that revelled in genre tropes. The result of Square Enix doing what it does best, this 2012 turn-based RPG for 3DS was the kind of thing you’d expect if you grew up on a diet of early Final Fantasy. Such is the overlap that I...
Our world is eternally on a knife’s edge, separated from demon incursion by the thinnest of membranes. If you’ve played anything remotely Persona-adjacent, you will know this well — it’s the core premise of all Megami Tensei games, and Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is no different.
As a kid, when you come across an ancient, tattered map in the attic, what’s the first thing you do? If you answered ‘Go to sea, wreck yourself and then wash up on a desert island on the back of a giant turtle’, then we have a winner!
