I remember a time when Monster Hunter was that one niche-as-hell franchise by Capcom that was much bigger in Japan than the West. With the release of Monster Hunter World, the franchise entered the mainstream with a kung-fu kick. It is now, arguably, Capcom’s main franchise, with each new iteration...

Hero shooters. Even though they are so ubiquitous in today’s gaming landscape, it wouldn’t be a hyperbole to say that about 80 to 90% of them end up being massive flops a few weeks after being released. With the exception of Overwatch, Apex Legends and Valorant, you rarely see one...

Paper Mario is one of Nintendo’s most egregiously mishandled franchises, alongside F-Zero and Star Fox. The difference between it and the other two is that, at the very least, Paper Mario games are constantly being made; it’s just not the games the fans constantly ask for. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems...

We were all there, watching that 2019 Game Awards showcase. From out of nowhere, Microsoft decides to unveil their brand new console, the horrendously-named Xbox Series X, as well as a trailer for an upcoming game. That game was the sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, the “independent AAA” darling that...

Back in the day, I used to think that Braid was overrated as hell. The short duration and simplistic gameplay didn’t exactly captivate me back in my teen years, so I had never given the game that much credit, even though it was basically the game that kickstarted the indie...

This is a very odd release. No, I’m not mentioning this is a crappy drop by Koei Tecmo or anything like that. I can already inform you that, just like any other Musou game made by Omega Force (well, aside from the horrendous Dynasty Warriors 9), Samurai Warriors 4 DX...

I really like when Nightdive just randomly announces they are remastering a game like half a dozen people had played in the past. PO’ed is a clear example of this practice. It’s a first-person shooter originally released on the 3DO. Yep, the 3DO. The console known for Gex, Plumbers Don’t...

I think that a good chunk of the discourse surrounding Animal Well is being directed towards the owner of its publisher, the one and only Jason “Videogamedunkey” Gastrow, and not the star of the show, sole developer Billy Basso. Whilst I will commend Dunkey on his brand new venture, with...

I feel I need to learn not to underestimate a genre just because of its sheer market saturation. Right at the beginning of the year, I was complaining about the excessive amount of roguelikes out in the market, and how they weren’t pushing the genre or the industry forward in...

If I told you I’m well-versed into the world of Endless Ocean, I’d be lying. I had never played a game in this franchise prior to tackling Endless Ocean Luminous. It took me a while even to realize this was actually a Nintendo joint in the first place. That being...

That announcement came out of nowhere. The revival of Top Spin, easily the greatest tennis franchise in gaming history, if you don’t count those titles starring Mario. Well, to be fair, Mario Tennis has had more bad games than good ones, so screw it, Top Spin is the best tennis...

I thoroughly despise Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. One of the most popular “games meant to generate Youtube reactions” released over the past few years, it was an intentionally poorly made title meant to annoy you. I don’t know what was worse about it: its ugly presentation, its intentionally-broken...
