Over the past few years, the Fire Emblem series has entered its own personal Renaissance – when 2013’s Awakening became a reprise for the series rather than a swan song, each subsequent game has only boosted the franchise’s widespread appeal. Fire Emblem Heroes continues to dominate on mobile, and 2019’s...
When it first released in 2019, I was surprised to find how quickly A Plague Tale Innocence grabbed my attention. It wasn’t something I imagined myself investing in, but the unique combination of an overwhelmingly horrific plague besieging a country (how sheltered we were) contrasted against the deep interrogation of...
While Xenoblade Chronicles has always been a franchise to swing big with its settings, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 certainly takes the award for highest concept. While previous titles have taken place on the backs of living titans or dead colossi, this instead introduces an alien setting through its premise.
It’s been five years since the Fire Emblem and Dynasty Warriors franchises last collaborated on Fire Emblem Warriors, back in 2017. While the original title set itself in a new world with various franchise characters guest appearing, Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes is a Demonic Beast of a different type.
When it was first announced, Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin caught my attention – and not just for its oblique name. The idea of a Final Fantasy/Dark Souls mashup retelling the story of the original Final Fantasy game was intriguing, especially given the main character was shown to be...
For me, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was a title that consumed far too many days in late 2020. Alongside Miles Morales, it was Eivor’s husky voice that introduced me to the PS5 as she led me around the English countryside slaughtering enemies and hunting down every damn glowing mystery mark on...
After PlayStation released a number of games for free in March of this year – including 2016’s Ratchet & Clank remake – I had a great time revisiting the game to engage with what always made Insomniac’s series feel so good. Crisp and colourful visuals, weapon-based mayhem and a variety of worlds...
The Monster Hunter series is an absolute juggernaut, beloved by its die-hard fans especially in Japan. I’ll admit, since reviewing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate way back on the 3D5 in 2015, I’d put the game (and the series) down and not taken another look. At the time it hadn’t felt...
Almost exactly four years ago, I got the chance to review one of the most stylish-looking JRPGs in a long while: Persona 5. Imagine my great delight when, without prompting, my editor dropped a PSN review code into my DMs, saying “I would imagine you’d be into this”. The code...
If you’ve followed Stevivor for a while, you may know that I’m no stranger to the Yakuza series. What once seemed like a bizarre oddity of a series I’d never care about has become a series I can’t wait to dive into, to find out what weird nonsense the team at...
Oddly enough, Horizon: Zero Dawn was a game I initially had trouble getting invested in. At its top level it had all the ingredients of something I would love — strong female protagonist, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, robot dinosaurs and the hunting thereof — and yet I did not immediately click...
