Undying
The irony of Undying exists in its very title and premise. As a whole, the zombie genre has seen its birth, death and rebirth in an almost phoenix-like cycle as media continues to stagger forward. In my lifetime, I’ve bore witness to The Walking Dead, Left 4 Dead, and the...
Blade Chimera
There are movies from the 80s and 90s that are delightful because of how unrepentantly dumb they are. Take, for example, Predator 2. Dissecting the plot will leave you deeply confused, as it insinuates a single Danny Glover is equal to an entire squad of highly trained military officials, but...
Releasing way back in 2014, DreadOut is an indie survival horror game from Indonessian studio, Digital Happiness. Releasing to a fairly mixed reception, DreadOut gained a cult following over the years and despite some issues, I found it to be a compelling horror adventure. DreadOut: Remastered Collection brings a cult...
In a world filled with games paying homage to the retro games of yesteryear, Wario Land was not a game I expected to start getting this kind of constant treatment. After the raving success behind Pizza Tower, it was only a matter of time before another game came on the...
Considering how there are basically no more Wii U games left to be remastered and released on Switch (as a friendly reminder, at the time of publishing, Xenoblade Chronicles X is due to finally drop in a few months), Nintendo’s console has been receiving a surprising amount of remasters of...
It’s been nearly seven years since the release of the last mainline Dynasty Warriors game. Dynasty Warriors 9 was a gigantic failure in every single aspect, with an unnecessary emphasis on open-world exploration, terrible visuals and poor framerate. Over the past few years, Omega Force and Koei Tecmo had decided...
I’ll be honest: when The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was first announced, my initial reaction wasn’t the “oh boy, a brand new Zelda!!” burst of excitement you’d expect from such a momentous announcement, but more of a “this looks like a rushed reuse of assets” scoff, due to...
When crafting a game, it’s important to be aware of one’s audience. You don’t want to make an easy, approachable Dark Souls game anymore than you want a gritty, realistic Paw Patrol adventure (though the latter would be a remarkable exercise). You not only need to consider the current fanbase,...
Ys X: Nordics
Ys is one of those gaming franchises that make me feel grateful for this website and how reviewing games opened up tons of doors to series I had never even considered tackling before. I had little to no knowledge of Ys prior to tackling Lacrimosa of Dana many years ago,...
UFL
I won’t lie; for as much that UFL‘s initial announcement was a positive thing in my opinion, I was somewhat skeptical if it would ever see the light of day, and actually become something worth caring about. Considering how EA Sports FC basically rules the football simulator space with an...
I will always have a soft spot for Power Rangers games in this website, as the first game ever reviewed here, back in January 2017, was Power Rangers Mega Battle for the Xbox One. More than just sentimental value, I was eager to check Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind...
I’ve mentioned in the past that I did not grow up with any kind of Playstation system that wasn’t called the PSP, thus desperately trying to prove to other kids on the playground that the Nintendo 64 was the superior system because it had, like, Mischief Makers and Top Gear...
