The sequel to 2019’s Death end re;Quest has released, throwing players into a small, spooky town situated within the mountains. Protagonist Mai Toyama looks to escape her traumatic past whilst searching for her lost sister in her last known whereabouts. The game is developed by prolific JRPG developer and publisher,...
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition, in its current state, is broken. It doesn’t play how it’s supposed to, or even how it was originally developed. The entire game can be played alone with no fuss, but that’s not what it was designed for. Crystal Chronicles is at its most...
Sakura Wars is not an RPG, turns out. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed. With Fire Emblem, Persona 5, Trails of Cold Steel, and the other Persona 5, I thought this would be another social sim/JRPG hybrid. But Sakura Wars bucks the trend by being part dating sim, part action-platformer....
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a mashing together of two very different properties. On one hand, it’s a spin-off of the Sniper Elite series, sharing the same gameplay, including the satisfying X-ray kill-cams. On the other hand, there’s zombies all over the shop. The game is soaking in schlocky...
It took me around 26 hours to finish Chapter 1 of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III. That’s this review in a nutshell. I completed every sidequest I could find, I beat every boss, and I watched every cutscene. 26 hours. Chapter 1.

Indivisible made my fingers hurt. This is a game with two very distinct parts, each of which proved hazardous to my brittle, old digits. While exploring the world, it’s a side-scrolling platformer, like your classic Metroids and Castlevanias. But when you encounter enemies, the game becomes a fast paced, semi-turn...
Samurai Shodown
You wouldn’t think Samurai Shodown would be a thematic title for a game. It makes sense that developer SNK came up with the name in the early 90s: they dropped the W in “showdown”, for goshsakes. ‘How descriptive a title could it be?’, I naively thought before starting this review....
There’s a moment early on in A Plague Tale: Innocence where the teenage protagonist Amicia is separated from her little brother Hugo. They have no choice but to take two different paths to get to the same destination. Up until this point, Hugo was too scared to move unless he...
I have to make a confession: I am not the target audience for Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame 2. I don’t know much about Supercross, and I didn’t play the first game, which came out last year. Heck, I don’t even drink Monster Energy. There was a lot stacked...
