Final Fantasy isn’t normally known as a cute series. Yes, there are cute characters but they don’t inform the tone of the series overall. World of Final Fantasy upends all of this, throwing you into an adorable story full of chibi cameos and winking callbacks. Rather than a serious affair,...
Omen of Sorrow
Omen of Sorrow is a game made from nightmares. Its characters are pulled from children’s nightmares, a catalog of old horror movie tropes and monsters of lore. The stages are dark cemeteries, burning villages, and isolated mountaintops, the background of plenty of bad dreams. Playing the game is its own...
Hot and wild, it’s party night! Welcome to Club Velvet, where your favorite characters from Persona 3 and Persona 5 finally get their dancing debut with Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection. As the Persona series is well-known to be an extremely stylish RPG, you will be happy to hear that...
Fallout 76
I love Bethesda games. I’ve always embraced their janky, driving on two wheels brand of coming in hot. In fact, I could probably be considered a Bethesda apologist. You know, it’s not a big deal that the games seem like they might rattle themselves apart – just think of all...
Road Redemption comes the closest to recapturing the fun of the original Road Rash, way back on the SEGA Genesis. Yeah, I’m that old. My cousins and I obsessed over that game one summer long ago, trying to finish it. We later learned there was no true no end! Ah...
The Forest
I don’t play many survival games and as much as I may love the thrill of a horror title, I’m actually a pretty huge wimp. Put me in a situation where I have to wander around in the dark equipped with nothing but a torch, or in this case, a...
The classic arcade rhythm game is back, and this time for PS4 and Switch owners! Despite being released on the same day, the two games are slightly different from one another – they even have different titles with the Switch version being called Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun. For...
Battlefield V
After Battlefield 3 and 4 in modern settings, we jumped back into The Great War with Battlefield 1. That means that this time, as we revisit World War 2, the time has come, of course, for Battlefield V. Despite the puzzling numbering system, Battlefield V promises a bunch of new...
Steel Rats
In early October, I played and wrote about a snippet of Tate Multimedia’s game Steel Rats. My initial impression was hopeful. There were definitely issues, but I had fun in my brief time with the game. To summarize the issues I had with the game, its combat tended to slow...
Gal Metal
Gal Metal is mired in duality. The controls are either basic or brutally complex, depending on your preferences. The music is excellent yet repetitive. The story is charming yet asinine. In the same vein, I both enjoyed and abhorred my time with Gal Metal.
428: Shibuya Scramble is a visual novel with an innovative method of storytelling. At first glance it seems like a simple choose-your-own-adventure game, but it becomes more complicated and interesting as the plot develops. Its characters are played by real life actors, with still images in the background of the...
I’m rudely interrupted from my Small Council meeting at Casterly Rock. A guard informs me, the illustrious and gallant Tyrion Lannister, a representative from the Iron Bank has arrived and is in a less than happy mood. My money situation is precarious as I war with the Greyjoys and build...
