Carrion
Carrion snuck out of nowhere, much like the monster you play in it. With such little marketing and fanfare, I didn’t know what to expect going in, but what I found was nothing short of incredible. From its aesthetics down to the core gameplay, there is little I could fault...
It’s hard to believe that the original Sword Art Online light novels first debuted in Japan over a decade ago and garnered mass popularity that eventually spawned a very successful anime. It was no surprise when games began following its path, as the concept of playing a fantasy MMO VR...
Rocket Arena
Rocket Arena is a 3v3 hero shooter developed by Final Strike Games and it’s an EA Originals title that will look to bring in fans of multiple genres. The colourful visuals and ten playable characters are reminiscent of Fortnite, while their abilities are more akin to Bleeding Edge and Overwatch....
Virtual Reality is both perfect for horror games and uniquely unsuited for the genre. You’re immediately immersed, with every stray noise and light flicker raising your heart rate. On the other hand, technical limitations can quickly pull you out of the simulation, reminding you that everything is going to be...
It’s no secret that Paper Mario has fallen on harsh times over the past ten years. Sticker Star and Paper Jam failed to capture the magic that Nintendo found with the series in the early 2000s. And while Colour Splash was more in-tune with Paper Mario’s roots, players didn’t entirely...
Playing Ghost of Tsushima has been a dizzy dance of expectations versus reality. At so many separate junctions, I’ve slammed into what I wanted to happen, blindsided by the actual events. This game wears the fresh skin of an open world RPG, one crammed full of crafting, karmic choices, and...
Originally released in 2011, Catherine became a cult classic due to its oddities and innovation. Part visual novel and part block puzzler, gamers fell head over heels for Catherine. With several new additions and improvements, Atlus has released Catherine: Full Body, but will this be a loving stroll down memory...
Night Call
Night Call is a fantastic noir-esque game where you take on the role of a Parisian taxi driver who is investigating a serial killer mystery on the side. With your friendly persona and a knack for getting your passengers to pour their hearts out, your goal is to drive them...
Serving as both a prequel and sequel to its predecessor, you take the role of the original protagonist, Agent York, and new addition, Agent Davis. Told in a non-linear manner, Deadly Premonition switches from past and present throughout the well-executed narrative. As York, you investigate the 2005 murder of Lise...
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is one of the first games I ever gained an obsession for in my life. To this day, the original 2003 cartridge is still sitting in the Game Boy Advance in my nightstand, and every once in a while I’ll pull it out for...
In an era with incredible motion capture technology, open worlds, branching narratives, and explosive details in high-octane environments, it can be hard to be excited about sitting down with a cup of tea for a story. That is of course unless that story is told by a certain iconic horror...
Shantae and the Seven Sirens is the latest installment in Wayforward Technologies long-running series that has been evolving from one platform to another since the original released for the Gameboy Colour back in 2002. While the colours have always been bright and the characters have always been charming, Wayforward continues...
