Ever since Fire Emblem made it to the cool kid’s table and finally got big in the west, there has been many an argument over the series’ newer features. While some dislike the new focus on character relationships and anime-like designs, others would never have picked up the games without...
The Sinking City
I’m a pretty big wimp, so when it comes to horror I much prefer the existential kind. I can brave a few gory monsters as long as most of my fear is for the incomprehensible will of an eternal diety. So yeah, I’m a fan of Lovecraft (the genre, not...
Observation
Space is scary. It’s dark, it’s unknown, and it’s infinite. Observation is a cinematic sci-fi thriller that gets right to the crux of that matter: if something goes wrong while up there, there’s nobody around to help you.
Yuppie Psycho
With games like Dead by Daylight and the Resident Evil 2 remake using powerful graphics to bring us some heavy-duty scares, it’s always good to remember that it’s not all about gore and misery.

The Caligula Effect, first released in the West in 2017, had the misfortune to come out the same year as Persona 5, making it hard not to compare the two. They are very similar games, both featuring maze-like dungeon levels and social simulations. The lead writer, Tadashi Satomi, even worked...

Well, if Pokémon Let’s Go: Pikachu was a clever ploy to get me to pick up Pokémon Go again, then I’ve gotta hand it to Nintendo – it sure worked.
The World Ends With You was a quirky, stylish, and utterly unique adventure for the Nintendo DS back in 2007. A story about coming out of one’s shell and engaging with others, the game starred Neku and a group of other teens who find themselves fighting for their right to...
Phantom Doctrine
Phantom Doctrine is a turn-based spy thriller set in an advanced-tech version of 1983 – a fun mix of wacky James Bond adventure and dry John le Carre mystery. It comes to us from CreativeForge Games, the developer of the 2015 strategy Hard West. They’ve left the wild west behind to...
Let’s get one thing clear: this game will leave you craving sushi.
