Some people enjoy turn-based combat simply for the thrill of the kill. Let’s be clear, when the mechanics are good or the graphics are gorgeous or basically anything can distract you from what you’re supposed to be doing (chores, work, funeral), then it’s easy to overlook the shortcomings. I may...

The obsession with cats that seems to permeate the internet can be exhausting at times. Don’t get me wrong, I love cats and would personally have a cat in my home instead of a dog, simply because of what the animals are. Dogs are adoring creatures who need a huge...
Making a kart game is a different kind of beast in the years since Mario Kart 8 has decided to become the Skyrim of goofy racers. It used to be that each generation had something to try out that might be the big winner or at least be somewhat appealing....
Very few people are going to be able to avoid the phenomenon that is Vampire Survivors. A game that seemingly came out of nowhere, this endless, indie roguelite has captured the hearts and minds of players across the PC base. Enticed by rave reviews from multiple big names, this Early...
The breath moves in and out, like wind through a desolate valley. The mantra is repeated through lips and teeth of old and young, of those great and small. It’s the same ideas we chant across civilizations and cultures, a promise that comes with caveats we can never anticipate. The...

One of the greatest appeals of the Shin Megami Tensei series is how the game is able to take its core ideals and implement them across a variety of settings, storylines, and concepts. Sure, the main games swing wildly between different backdrops, effortlessly going from semi-modern Tokyo (Nocturne), to feudal...
When you look at The Godfather III from a purely subjective space, you can easily see that the derision it received was unfounded, particularly as time went on. The story of Michael Corleone is encapsulated well in the first two movies, and the third, while interesting and expansive on the...
There is mystery and terror in that which we do not understand. From the vast reaches of space comes ideas and concepts that the human mind cannot grapple with, and, as a result, can go mad with the attempt to slot it into something familiar or logical. We are surrounded...
I don’t think people ever give Idea Factory and Compile Hearts the fair shake that they deserve. On the one hand, people see things like Hyperdimension Neptunia, Mary Skelter and things in the Monster Monpiece series as proof of awful fanservice with borderline assault levels of female engagement. I’m not...
The Lion King from 2019 was an objectively okay movie that was made worse by everything it took off the table. There was an opportunity to interweave a slew of new lore into the movie from the additional films and the passage of time, maybe giving a different perspective or...
Gaming, for many, is more than just a simple hobby, but rather a multifunction tool to assist your life in any sort of way. For people who enjoy engrossing stories, we have epic RPGS, both Japanese and Western. For those who have a borderline unhealthy power fantasy, we have titles...
