Astro Bot
Team Asobi has been out there making names for themselves as creators of perhaps Sony’s most iconic mascot in recent years. While Astro Bot himself has only been around across two PlayStation platforms, he’s rapidly become the face of Sony Interactive Entertainment for anything with than a Mature rating to...
Barring a successful remake of the third Mana title in the series, it’s been seventeen years since Square-Enix brought a new title to the console masses (the last entry was a mobile and PlayStation Vita exclusive in Japan). As Square-Enix continues to revive franchises from the vault, it’s refreshing to...
Animal Well
Metroidvanias are one of the few genres that I strive to play above all others. The joy of discovering a new ability and trying it out everywhere across the map to discover hidden pathways never fails to bring a smile to my face. In Animal Well, a solo project by...
For as expansive as their missions and environments have been, Team Ninja hasn’t devised an entirely open-world adventure. That is, until Rise of the Ronin, their latest masocore adventure. Rise of the Ronin treads a lot of new ground while taking place solely in a relatively grounded story based upon...
Cloud Strife’s adventures in Final Fantasy VII have been one of the most iconic Japanese RPGs to grace Western shores. Once the pinnacle of the genre, the title surprised any entirely new generation with the bombing mission in Midgar on PlayStation 4 and beyond. With a new console generation and...
For as many adventures that Kiryu and crew have gone on in the Like a Dragon/Yakuza franchise, a passport was never a part of Kiryu’s carry-on. It’s been nearly two decades of titles and this marks the first one that has left the Japanese borders, at least in-game. There’s a...
But what Tekken 8 proves more than anything is that the infamously complex franchise is still capable of evolving. The new game makes a serious investment in making its most intimidating features accessible to a wider audience, while also offering weird detours and an ambitious story mode that reveals the...
For a former yakuza chairman presumed to be dead on more than one occasion, Kazuma Kiryu does a terrible job of staying dead. His inclusion as a major ally during Kasuga Ichiban’s introductory adventure was a memorable highlight for the Dragon Quest-themed spinoff that just doesn’t have the same impact...
It may be hard to believe, but it’s been nearly seven years since the last mainline Final Fantasy title was released. In November of 2016, players were introduced to Noctis and his band of brothers on a countrywide road trip that saw the series make its first introductions into action-based...
It’s been four years removed since Cal Kestis’ first journey across the galaxy as a young Jedi Padawan in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released and five years of time separating the stories. In that time, gamers have seen the rise of two new consoles and a new generation....
For as many adventures as Luffy and the Straw Hat crew have been on across the Grand Line, so few take place across turn-based battles. If you've played a One Piece game in the past decade, whether it's an RPG, musou action or arena brawler, the lanky Gum-Gum Fruit bearer's...
Evil West
Flying Wild Hog is a developer that I have a very hard time siloing into one genre that they're known for. From Shadow Warrior to Trek to Yomi, there's a diverse range of action titles that each bring something new to the table. With Evil West's take on the Weird...
