When it first released in 2019, I was surprised to find how quickly A Plague Tale Innocence grabbed my attention. It wasn’t something I imagined myself investing in, but the unique combination of an overwhelmingly horrific plague besieging a country (how sheltered we were) contrasted against the deep interrogation of...
Return to Monkey Island is a delight the likes of which may never been seen again. More than three decades after The Secret of Monkey Island (1990) and Monkey Island 2 LeChuck’s Revenge (1991), series creator Ron Gilbert has returned alongside Dave Grossman to conclude the trilogy – and done...
The Last of Us is an undeniable masterpiece, a well-crafted title that rightfully made a couple Stevivor staffers’ “Best Games of the Last Ten Years” lists (including my own) not too long ago. But therein lies the problem: the original Last of Us on PS3 is less than ten years old and...
While Xenoblade Chronicles has always been a franchise to swing big with its settings, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 certainly takes the award for highest concept. While previous titles have taken place on the backs of living titans or dead colossi, this instead introduces an alien setting through its premise.
It’s been five years since the Fire Emblem and Dynasty Warriors franchises last collaborated on Fire Emblem Warriors, back in 2017. While the original title set itself in a new world with various franchise characters guest appearing, Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes is a Demonic Beast of a different type.
Mario Strikers Battle League see the series return for a third season after a lengthy layoff, following GameCube and Wii instalments. It reminds us Nintendo is the king of reimaging the world’s most popular sports into pickup and play multiplayer shenanigans — and this is a comeback we’ve been waiting...

Nintendo Switch Sports is Wii Sports in all but name, a revamp of the popular motion control sporting title on a brand new (yet slightly aging but potentially OLED-enhanced) console.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is decidedly part of the Borderlands franchise, a fully-fledged title that owes its existence to a piece of DLC found within Borderlands 2. While taking on a name of its own, it still shares the same mechanics and humour of titles of old, love or hate ‘em.
Three decades after floating into a Game Boy Dream Land, Kirby has finally expanded to full 3D with a combat-centric platformer that successfully transitions into an extra dimension. Kirby and the Forgotten Land takes the established swallow-and-fight formula from the traditionally 2D series and follows the Super Mario 3D World...
When it was first announced, Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin caught my attention – and not just for its oblique name. The idea of a Final Fantasy/Dark Souls mashup retelling the story of the original Final Fantasy game was intriguing, especially given the main character was shown to be...
For me, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was a title that consumed far too many days in late 2020. Alongside Miles Morales, it was Eivor’s husky voice that introduced me to the PS5 as she led me around the English countryside slaughtering enemies and hunting down every damn glowing mystery mark on...
