Steins;Gate
As Okabe might say, your choice of playing Steins;Gate has already been determined by Steins Gate itself. Remember, the Organisation is always watching. El Psy Kongroo.
Firewatch
Henry and Delilah’s journey to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding them is a compelling ride filled with intrigue and paranoia, so it’s unfortunate that Firewatch doesn’t quite stick the ending. Various plot threads tie up a little too quickly, ending with a whimper instead of a bang....
What a ride. Although I have no intention of putting this game down just yet — in part due to determination rather than pure pleasure — I can easily recognize why this title isn’t for everyone, or at least how the first half of the experience is for many, with...
Cancer is something that affects nearly everyone, and almost everybody can name someone they know who has suffered at the hands of the disease. That Dragon, Cancer stands not only as a powerful memorial for Joel Green, but for all who have suffered at the hands of cancer, whether they...
Blade & Soul
Overall, Blade & Soul is a fun and interesting take on MMO combat and PvP that is 100% free to play, a price you can’t beat. It has a few bugs to work out, some translation errors, lack of inventory space, features that need to be added in (eg. vote-kick),...
Atelier Escha & Logy Plus’s delightfully breezy charm is par for the Atelier series, but may not appeal to an RPG fan looking for a more Final Fantasy-type experience. The relaxed and routine nature in Escha & Logy Plus may be too lackadaisical and repetitive for some. If you think...
It’s easy to write Hatoful Boyfriend off as just another weird game from Japan, but doing so would be a grave mistake. Underneath its goofy exterior, Hatoful Boyfriend shows its depths in being a fierce deconstruction as well as a tender celebration of dating sims, making it one of the...
For a game that I’ve awarded an overall score of 92%, it seems odd that I’ve spent so much space writing about its flaws. Make no mistake, this is a flawed game that is in need of some fixes from the developer that may or may not ever come. It’s...
Because it opens a new chapter in the Trails series, Cold Steel is a perfect entry point for those who have been curious about previous entries but couldn’t stomach their dated presentation. There are undoubtedly connections to Trails in the Sky and even the (so far) Japan-exclusive Trails to Zero/Azure,...
Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is a fantastic addition to already fun and enjoyable MMO. If you’re a fan of the vanilla game you’ll most certainly enjoy Heart of Thorns. It may have taken a while to get here, but it was worth the wait. For those of you...
Yo-kai Watch 4
Yo-Kai Watch probably won’t convince anyone to hang up their Pokédexes any time soon, but perhaps it’s best not to compare apples to oranges. Pokémon is a stalwart when it comes to the competitive RPG space and it continues to refine the genre with each subsequent release, but Level-5 set...
I had a lot of fun with Borderlands 2, and although The Pre-Sequel is pretty similar to 2, its changes are all for the better. Freezing enemies is always good, and being able to jump farther and stomp on enemies is excellent. Getting to play as the characters you had...
