We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie is a remaster of We Love Katamari, originally released for the PS2 in 2005. That PS2 version is the sequel to Katamari Damacy, which also received a remaster in the form of Katamari Damacy Reroll, in 2018. Fans of the series have been...
Although primarily known for his platforming prowess, Crash has ventured into a variety of genres, achieving varying levels of success. From slamming the pedal to the metal to manic, mini-game madness, the bandicoot has pretty much done it all, so what’s next for the orange marsupial? After the success of...
I’m lucky enough to have the chance to preview and review a lot of games. That’s awesome, but there’s a downside. I rarely have time to get endlessly lost in a sprawling and ridiculously deep MMORPG like The Elder Scrolls Online. However, I have reviewed nearly every annual expansion, including...
STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life brings back a classic farming simulator with modern upgrades. Officially launching this month, the upgraded A Wonderful Life comes with updates that create a better experience for audiences today. Remaining faithful to the source material, STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life continues to deliver...
Trepang2
Although it has been a long minute — 12 years — since the last F.E.A.R game, many fans still remember the supernatural shooter and its unsettling child antagonist, Alma.

While certain experiences offer an archetypal Hollywood structure, others opt for a more nuanced approach that drip-feeds information. Dordogne sits firmly in the latter and tells a cozy story about family, childhood, and lost memories, but...
Some games were just meant for the Nintendo DS. The dual screens and the touch controls were the perfect canvas for all sorts of RPGs. I honestly thought the Etrian Odyssey series would never work on a different platform. But I’m always happy to be proven wrong. Between the portability...
Amnesia: The Bunker is the latest entry in the Amnesia series of games from developer, Frictional Games. This fifth entry takes a radical departure from previous Amnesia games. It is a contained experience all happening in, yep you guessed it, a bunker. A World War 1 bunker, to be exact.
Planet of Lana
Are games art? Or entertainment? It’s an old argument that I think we’ve moved past. Games can be either, neither, or both. Planet of Lana certainly looks artistic and painterly. But is it also entertaining to play?
Loop8: Summer of Gods is a hybrid visual novel and JRPG. It draws gameplay inspirations from Persona, and has a roguelike structure. But it’s best to think of it as a visual novel with mild JRPG elements, because those JRPG elements are slim. Anyone thinking Loop8: Summer of Gods is...
Convergence: A League of Legends Story takes the fantasy cyberpunk city of Zaun and hits the ground running. The world of League of Legends has always fascinated me, especially Zaun and Piltover. I was very excited to see what this new single-player action/platformer could make of the setting. The results...
