There’s nothing more epic than giant mechs and monsters duking it out. The scale, the devastation, the apocalyptic themes, there’s a reason the concept burns so strongly in pop culture. Optimus Prime, Godzilla, Ultraman, Gundam, fights are just so much more exciting when everyone’s taller than skyscrapers and somebody can...
Triangle Strategy wasn’t the game I assumed it was going to be. Since its announcement, all I’ve seen is “Final Fantasy Tactics 2″. So when I started to learn about the actual game, I was confused and worried. No Job System? No random encounters? Fixed recruitable party with no permadeath?...

When it comes to gaming, I like to focus on the positive. I look for the things that work inside of otherwise questionable games, appreciating ambition and accepting when some things fall short. And it’s worked well for me, finding plenty of games to enjoy that other people pass on....
Ubisoft, what took you so long? We’ve had Assassin’s Creed III, the Rebel Collection, and a bunch of other Ubisoft games all released for Switch. Yet some of their most famous games, already released in a convenient package for other consoles, have remained absent. Thankfully, no longer, as Assassin’s Creed:...
It’s been a journey to reach this moment, and part of me still can’t believe we’ve made it. Seven years ago, Total War was in a rut. Following a string of underwhelming releases, the franchise was sinking, and Creative Assembly seemingly worn out. Then came the announcement that they would...
Ancient Rome’s legacy will never die. I’m not talking about in culture, politics, or architecture either. I mean Rome’s legacy in video games, especially those of the strategic kind. Its place in history as a landmark of wartime strategy means that, for strategy game developers looking for a setting, Rome...
As VR continues to grow in popularity, so does its number of zombie games. Already a popular genre, it’s only become more so as everyone races to release the new Left 4 Dead. Except Valve, of course. This being no different in VR, there already being plenty of similar experiences...
In the time between Shin Megami Tensei V’s announcement and release, three different versions of Skyrim came out. Six Call of Duties were released. As did a torrent of phenomenal JRPGs that reinvigorated and changed the foundations of the genre. Xenoblade Chronicles, Tales of Arise, Persona 5, Fire Emblem: Three...
Two things have to be understood about My Friend Peppa Pig. The first is this is not a game for anyone outside of its specific audience. That is kids and those who know the franchise. No one else need apply. The second is that it’s an absolute home run in...
Dying Light is an amazing game. We all know it by this point. It’s been out on other platforms for years now, and had an incredibly long DLC trail as well. Its sequel is well on the way, development hell issues aside. Yet, like so many other games, a Nintendo...
Sometimes a game ends up being more than the sum of its parts. Sometimes it ends up being what you’d expect. And sometimes, despite doing everything “right”, a game just fails to come together. Sadly, Disciples: Liberation ended up as the latter for me. Despite seeming like my kind of...
I call it the Final Fantasy Tactics effect. When there’s a series you enjoy, maybe even love, but there’s a spinoff that just eclipses all of its other games. It’s not a mainline entry, so purists look at you with disdain, but you just know it’s the best. FFT is...
