With the Final Fantasy VII Remake story train now barreling down the tracks, it was only a matter of time before Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII reappeared over a decade after its launch, built from the ground up for a new audience. Does it work? Shockingly, it's better than the...
Squanch Games' trademark humor mixes with solid shooting and traversal in this goofy space romp.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the two newest entries into the mainline Pokemon series, bringing an open world to the whole of the game for the very first time. But does the experience hold up to make for an exciting new Pokemon title, or do the technical issues weigh it...
God of War Ragnarok follows up 2018's excellent installment in the franchise, putting players back in the shoes of Kratos. Big shoes to fill again, so does Ragnarok deliver a thrilling conclusion to the duology? Read on in our review.
