Wuppo
Wuppo, from its title all the way to its gameplay, is a peculiar game. It is a 2D RPG with a design that can be described as a child’s coloring book. The world of Wuppo is an endearing and colorful sight full of adventures and new “wums” to meet. Wums...
The Danganronpa series started out as a cult hit, its first release a PS Vita exclusive. Since then, it’s rapidly grown in popularity. At present there are three core games, two anime adaptations, and a spin-off title. I’ve been a fan of the series since the first release and have...
Fire Emblem Warriors
In the world of video game crossovers, none seemed stranger then Hyrule Warriors back in 2014. Koei Tecmo took the fantasy adventures of Zelda and merged it with the Warriors franchise, a fast-paced hack-and-slash series that had players fighting to take forts and complete missions against waves of enemies. These two...
In 2014, Ubisoft released what would go on to be considered one of the greatest licensed video games in South Park: The Stick of Truth. With the assistance of the South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the developers at Obsidian Entertainment proved they understood the source material and built a...
Samurai Riot
Samurai Riot is a new beat-‘em-up style arcade game developed for PC by Wako Factory. Arcade style games have a special place in my heart, as it’s one of the earliest forms of gaming, and I may hold standards too high for arcade style games. It isn’t easy to find...
Ruiner
Ruiner turned heads when it was announced last year and I was instantly smitten with its chilling cyberpunk aesthetic and action-driven gameplay. Drawing inspiration from anime like Akira and movies like Blade Runner, Reikon Games has successfully created a violent, dystopian world where murder is currency and trust is obsolete....
Caveman Warriors
There are few platform games that have succeeded in carving a place in the hearts of gamers. Unlike RPGs, platformers lack the means of telling an engaging story, and it’s an uphill battle to endear the characters to players. Efforts to do so can go either way. One famous example...
Root Letter
Root Letter is the first title in the Kadokawa Game Mystery series with contributions from key staff who worked on Konami’s LovePlus series, like character designer Mino Taro. When it was first announced, I was drawn in by the gorgeous art and knew I needed to play it. Other than its art,...
It’s hard not to like the Rabbids. Their wacky antics and comedic style make for charming and simply silly games. Merge that with the lighthearted and fun world of Mario and you are in for a good time. These words are ones that you would think you’d never say, yet...
Miitopia
Nintendo is good at finding ways to keep its Miis relevant. What started out as a personal novelty for Wii Sports has evolved into much more. With the Nintendo 3DS, Miis became a representation of ourselves for the system’s street pass function, wherein we got to play a series of...
Splatoon 2
Back in 2015 Nintendo brought a brand new game titled Splatoon to the world. It was a weird game where you blended shooter mechanics with squid transformations to fight for territory or a key item. For how weird it was Splatoon was welcomed by Wii U owners everywhere as a...
Cars 3: Driven to Win
A movie tie-in game is a dime a dozen and rarely more than a quick cash-in. Developers tasked with making a movie tie-in nonetheless have an opportunity to make an interesting game. Avalanche Software has done this with Cars 3: Driven to Win to middling success.
