Like the series which developer Compile Heart is known for, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Arc of Alchemist is a tactical action RPG with a roster full of cutesy anime characters. It’s pretty much the developer’s bread and butter, but if that makes you think that’s a good sign about the Arc of...
Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, besides being a mouthful to say, is a game that came out for the 3DS and mobile platforms in 2017. It’s the 7th main game in the Professor Layton series, but is the first to star a protagonist other than the titular...
Luigi's Mansion 3
As a fan of the green younger Mario brother, I had a lot riding on Luigi’s Mansion 3. The original Luigi’s Mansion for the Gamecube is a very important game to me, and though that might seem weird, I’m not alone. It’s a beloved classic to its diehard fans, and...
Neo Cab
Neo Cab has something subtler to say than many Cyberpunk tales I’ve played in recent years. Its particular style looks a lot like ‘Neon Punk’; the same themes of social struggle, but a little less grunge and a little more – you guessed it – neon. In fact, in an...
Oninaki
Oninaki has a pretty intriguing premise: the people of Szaka believe in the Cycle of Reincarnation, in which the dead move on to ‘the Beyond’ where they are reincarnated into their next life. However, souls who still have regrets about life may remain trapped in the Beyond, turning into monsters...
Ever since Fire Emblem made it to the cool kid’s table and finally got big in the west, there has been many an argument over the series’ newer features. While some dislike the new focus on character relationships and anime-like designs, others would never have picked up the games without...
The Sinking City
I’m a pretty big wimp, so when it comes to horror I much prefer the existential kind. I can brave a few gory monsters as long as most of my fear is for the incomprehensible will of an eternal diety. So yeah, I’m a fan of Lovecraft (the genre, not...
Observation
Space is scary. It’s dark, it’s unknown, and it’s infinite. Observation is a cinematic sci-fi thriller that gets right to the crux of that matter: if something goes wrong while up there, there’s nobody around to help you.
Yuppie Psycho
With games like Dead by Daylight and the Resident Evil 2 remake using powerful graphics to bring us some heavy-duty scares, it’s always good to remember that it’s not all about gore and misery. Yuppie Psycho takes a satirical approach instead, to create the first ever ‘corporate horror’ game. It takes...
What with all the complex and grand-scale games that are the norm these days, sometimes you just want to sit back and chill out with a good old fairy tale. The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is a great example of one: everything from its title to its charmingly...
Just the mention of the Super Smash Bros. series gets most Nintendo fans itching to get a controller into their hands. It’s not hard to see why, either – since the very beginning of the series in 1999, the crossover brawler has been a hit with both the casual and...
Well, if Pokémon Let’s Go: Pikachu was a clever ploy to get me to pick up Pokémon Go again, then I’ve gotta hand it to Nintendo – it sure worked.
