If you think all of Idea Factory International's RPGs are purely about cute girls doing cute things and beating up dogoos, you haven't been paying up attention to the Death end re;Quest series. The first one was familiar to longtime fans of IFI's style of combat system, only with those...
Hellpoint
It's refreshing to play a hardcore Soulslike that shies away from the high fantasy setting for something more futuristic. We've seen Deck13 tackle Sci-Fi with The Surge series before but it's rare to see this style of hardcore RPG venture out into outer space. Cradle Games, a small team based...
Rocket Arena
Rocket jumping was a skill I never quite figured out when Quake II was one of the biggest titles on MPlayer. By the time Team Fortress 2 hit its peak (somewhere before the addition of hats and alternate weapons), I started picking up some of the timings and skills necessary...
Long before I could stroll stand up and even look upon the marquee of The Simpsons arcade game at the local pizza shop, Taito has been making its own style of shoot'em up with the Darius series. Born from the same arcade cabinets that could house The Ninja Warriors and...
Valorant
Riot Games has grown into more than just the DotA-inspired League of Legends studio in recent years. Their recent push for new titles has seen the publisher evolve into a studio that's working on card games, 1v1 fighters and now their first hero shooter. Valorant is a heroic effort to...
The Last of Us Part II builds off of the ambiguous ending to the first game and spins it into a narrative that is both bleak and gut-wrenching. For a world wrecked by the aftermath of an infection on the scale of a zombie infection, any hope for survival might...
Congratulations convict, you've been selected for reconditioning. Revived from your dehydrated sleep and put to work, your task is to lead a group of prisoners of similar fate out of the Sargasso Nebula to freedom. Never fear, if you aren't up to the task or get taken out by a...
Trials of Mana
Trials of Mana, not to be confused with the English title of the SNES classic that was later released on Nintendo Switch in the Collection of Mana, is a complete remake and reworking from top to bottom. Gone are the static 2D backgrounds and ATB-driven action combat, instead replaced with...
It's only been a mere two years since The Phantom Thieves of Hearts broke out into the spotlight in Persona 5. Since then, we've seen pseudo sequels get developed and released in Japan by way of Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Breakers , a full-length anime, and others. With a...
Nioh 2
The first Nioh was a strange anomaly in the gaming world. This Team Ninja-developed samurai sim was in development for more than a decade across two PlayStation platforms before it finally graced the PlayStation 4 with William of London's adventures in feudal Japan. This delicate balance of swordplay and Dark...
Dreams
MediaMolecule is such an interesting edge case in the gaming industry. When not making charming titles like Tearaway, they're building the foundation for creation tools and packing them up within the premise of an all-ages video game. We saw this time after time with the LittleBigPlanet series, although most creations...
It's been some time since I last sat down with an RPG by Compile Heart and played it through until the end. I gave Death End re;Quest about a dozen hours before I grew tired of their signature turn-based combat. When I heard that their latest game, Arc of Alchemist,...
