Our favourite digital pop idol has finally made her entrance onto the Nintendo Switch and what a booming entry has she made. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is the latest entry in this electronic pop rhythm series and not only do we have over 100 songs to pick play...
Sakura Wars
On paper, Sakura Wars has the potential to be an exciting JRPG soft reboot for contemporary fans of the genre. However, this genre combining game that features action RPG, dating sim, and visual novel elements does not execute as hoped for. While Sakura Wars is a franchise with roots back...
Gears Tactics
The announcement of Gears Tactics had me screwing my face up right away. Sure, the Gears universe has a lot in common with the XCom universe, and Tactics would presumably try to grab a slice of that pie, but would that work? Could the bombastic action of the Gears series...
Terms like “unique” and “original” are thrown around liberally to describe games sometimes, but in the case of 2017’s Four Last Things, from one-man indie impresario Joe Richardson, it was especially apt.

Panzer Dragoon was originally released back in 1995 for the Sega Saturn. Since then, the franchise has seen a handful of sequels, including a series of RPGs. Now it’s time to fly back to its roots with a remake of the original game that started it all. Panzer Dragoon: Remake...
Tharsis
Tharsis is a single player turn-based survival game that involves some strategy, dice throws, and a lot of luck. As each step requires you to plan ahead a little bit, the only thing stopping you from succeeding is bad luck – everything that happens during your mission is up to...
Capcom took Resident Evil 3 and managed to completely reinvent the game while remaining faithful to the source material it was based upon. Regardless of the changes made to it, whether it was the re-imagining of the control scheme or doing away with the fixed cameras, it still felt like...
Let’s get one thing straight right now: Objectivity will be nearly impossible here. I have a history with Final Fantasy VII that spans multiple decades. The original game changed how I looked at games, in general, for my whole life going forward. These characters, this story, and this world are...
Shinsekai: Into The Depths is a very good underwater-themed Metroidvania game. It has an indie game appearance and style, but was developed by Capcom, who are generally not known for smaller title so much as epic franchises. But here they’ve created a solid Metroidvania experience with some very interesting mechanics...
