Latest Reviews
World Of Warcraft is a gigantic monolith that has cast its shadow over the world of MMO’s. No MMO has ever really come as close to the sheer scale and impressiveness of Blizzard’s monster open world fantasy online role player. In saying that, its understandable that in its 12 years,...
Did you take an ancient history class in high school and think, “Man, I wish i could re-unify China during the Han Dynasty?” Well, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII is the game for you, buddy. Being the father to the highly addictive Dynasty Warriors series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII takes place in 2nd century China...
The King of Fighters XIV is the first fighting game I have played on PS4 at home, and as such, almost all of the game was new to me. I have reviewed it through the lens of someone new to both this particular title and the genre it represents.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the newest addition to the Deus Ex universe. The year is 2029 and mechanically augmented humans have become segregated from their “natural” counterparts as a result of the global killing spree (known as the Aug incident) initiated by a maniacal purist 2 years prior.
No Man's Sky
A lot of us have been on the No Man’s Sky hype train for quite some time, and there seems to be a lot of mixed reactions from the release. Some are disappointed by what Hello Games has bought to the table. Others, like myself, are absolutely giddy with excitement...
I Am Setsuna
There was a real risk that I Am Setsuna would be crushed under the weight of expectation. As a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, with various nods to Final Fantasy and then finally published under the Square Enix label, Setsuna had a lot to live up to. Despite a few...
Abzu
In a sentence, ABZÛ is this calming, tranquil, explorative experience that sees the player character submerged into this gorgeous, painterly world of infinite breath meters and fish density cranked up to ultra.
Mighty No. 9
Almost wholly described as ‘not Mega Man’ *wink*, Mighty No. 9 is a throwback side-scroller attempting to cash in on Keiji Inafune’s success with the franchise, which is owned by Capcom. But can the soul of a beloved manga and game hero really be transplanted into an off-brand run away...
If you are looking for a title that contains the right mix of fantasy and sci-fi, then look no more, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness is exactly what you have been looking for. A game developed by Tri Ace and published by Square Enix, I loved how elements of both...
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is a breath of fresh air for the Lego series. I still remember when the first adaptation type Lego game came out and how bizarre I found it, and you know what? I still find it bizarre… but I have to admit, I find...
Anima: Gate of Memories is an absolute gem of a game and I was stoked at getting the opportunity to review it. A dark fantasy RPG that combines platforming, puzzle solving and plenty of might and magic orientated gameplay, it sucked me in right from the word go.
Grand kingdom is the perfect example of why you should never judge something by it’s appearance.
