I’m kind of fond for games centered solely around fighting a series of bosses, or, as the kids like to call, “boss rushes”. From the ever fantastic Furi to Titan Souls, as well as Sekiro‘s separate boss rush mode, there’s something about the thrill of taking on challenging boss after...
DARQ was one of those games that ended up flying under my radar for one reason or another. It wasn’t because a lack of interest, since it reminded me of some of my favorite macabre puzzle games like Limbo, Inside, and Little Nightmares. Whatever the reason was doesn’t matter now...
TASOMACHI: Behind the Twilight was brought to my attention from out of nowhere. I had heard nothing about this indie title until a week before its release. This was especially surprising since attached to the project alongside the indie studio Orbital Express, was developer Nocras, who has provided artwork for...
There’s an ever growing genre in the industry that I like to call “douchebag simulators”. They aren’t meant to be deep experiences or anything created to test your skills as a player. It wants you to troll others and make their lives miserable, whether by giving you objectives or not....

Whenever NIS America announces a new title, I almost unconsciously expect for it to be either a brand new JRPG or a tactics game. The company has carved its well-deserved niche in the gaming industry with excellent franchises like Ys, Trails of Cold Steel, and Disgaea. So I definitely wasn’t...
Say No! More
I love games that poke fun at the boring and uninspiring work conditions faced by multinational corporation interns. I loved Going Under due to its incredibly relatable premise. Especially since I, just like many others, have worked as intern in such boring and exploitative conditions in the past. Do you...
Oddworld: Soulstorm was announced more than half a decade ago by the franchise’s creator, Lorne Lanning, as a sequel to the then recently released Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty!. Both games were conceived as expanded remakes of the PS1 classics, in a similar vein to the Final Fantasy VII Remake. They...
Originally released in 2005, Star Wars: Republic Commando is one of the most celebrated Star Wars games ever released. There were plenty of reasons to love it: it mixed the tactical, squad-based shooting mechanics from the Rainbow Six games with one of the grittiest and darkest settings in the history...
It Takes Two
One of my complaints with the video game industry is that there aren’t many couch co-op games anymore. Yes, I know that the majority of them offer some sort of an online multiplayer experience, but it’s not the same. Personally, I love the option of being able to sit next...
I’ve been having such a good time with some excellent visual novels like Across the Grooves and The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante that I’ve decided to tackle one of most prevalent (and mysterious) types of games available in the Nintendo eShop: the anime visual novel. I’m not exaggerating...
There are so many movies, shows, songs, and games focused on 80’s nostalgia nowadays that I’m pretty sure we’ve already filled our quota for that decade’s revival for the next twenty years or so. Between Stranger Things, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights“, Ready Player One, and much more, it’s hard to...
Despite not even being a full-fledged game, one could say that Hideo Kojima’s P.T. was the single most influential horror game of the previous generation of gaming, as well as recent memory in general. It’s arguably more important to the industry than one of its main sources of inspiration, the...
