Fun fact, but growing up, I was heavily into emo culture. I wore the clothing, painted my nails, and was moody as hell. My attitude and the alternative lifestyle meshed beautifully – it gave me identity. I was hooked, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that out of every...
Some may deem this next statement blasphemous, but I reckon that Inti Creates has more than earned the label of Metroidvania savant. Just take a gander at their catalog. It’s thanks to that pedigree that whenever news from them show up, I freak. Having grown during an era when Mega...
I’ve never been the biggest fan of sci-fi, preferring fantasy due to the fantastical elements. It’s odd for me to say since, out of my four perfect scores, two belong to Nier. I was, and still am, hugely smitten by that pair, especially those characters. Speaking of, those found in...
I’m not particularly familiar with the lore of the Fate franchise. My first foray into that world was a Musou game entitled Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, and holy hell; I was confused by that storyline. It assumes you have a previous understanding of the characters and what they’re about. I...
Since it was released, Diablo 3 has reigned as the top of my most-played titles on Nintendo Switch. I’m a loot fiend, hopelessly obsessed with finding bits and bobs. Being able to lounge in bed with a cup of coffee to one side and the fan blowing on my person...
Perhaps it’s just me, but has anyone ever had the urge to burst into song? I sure as hell have. It happens rather frequently, too, and is accompanied by a perceived operatic voice that’s nowhere near that level of skill, but the acoustics of my bathroom do it justice, or so...
The 90s was a wild era, with cartoons depicting Biker Mice from Mars and Street Sharks dressed in ripped jeans and denim shorts. It’s also the decade when I lived my most formative years. Unfortunately, they were also full of hospital visits. That didn’t stop this wee lad of seven...
The Atelier franchise, a once hidden commodity that cultivated a niche, has recently managed to break into the mainstream. This success can be directly attributed to a little-known trilogy known as Atelier Ryza. Thick thighs save lives, after all, and the internet immediately grabbed hold of the female protagonist. I...
In today’s burning world, it’s nice to know there’s a type of game tapping into the good of humanity. Some would scream it’s a fictional take on reality, and to that, I say, yeah, you’re goddamn right. Slice-of-life romps would be depressing if they attempted to emulate the bullshit we...
I’ve gone on record to say the Lunar franchise is one I treasure so dearly. It came into my life at a pivotal moment, capturing my imagination. So much so, in fact, that it’s the inspiration for three novels that I’ve penned. After the sequel, Eternal Blue was released, there...
Growing up, my only avenue for trying the newest and coolest video games was to head to Blockbuster. It was a magical place with an atmosphere that, to this day, nothing has come close to emulating. Even as I sit here writing, there’s a powerful sense of nostalgia in the...
Dead Island 2
Not to provoke an existential crisis, but back in 2014, nine years ago, Dead Island 2 was revealed to the masses. It was with a quaint little teaser, showing off a man with a visible bite mark, jogging through Venice Beach as the infection took over. After turning into a...
