God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and several other notable games grace the action genre. There’s a robust variety, some with distinct ideologies that help them blossom, while others concentrate on filling the hole for unadulterated violence. It provides this safe avenue to alleviate the frustration that is sometimes...
I have to thank globalization and the increased popularity of Japanese pop culture in the West for letting me play this game, in full, where I currently live. Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is the kind of game you would never expect to see available and fully localized in the West....
Upon booting up Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, I was sadly reminded of the “Ghost Corps” logo, a shoddy initiative by Sony Pictures to turn the Ghostbusters franchise into a heavily exploitable multimedia empire. It’s safe to say that, so far, this hasn’t garnered the results that Sony was expecting. Two movies,...
There were so many factors pointing towards the Nintendo Switch port of Alan Wake Remastered to be a beautiful disaster of cataclysmic proportions. The first factor was the Switch’s hardware itself, known for not being able to properly render a demanding AAA outing, unless your name is DOOM or The...
Dragon Ball has been a household name forever at this point. Parents and children alike know about the adventures of Goku and friends, or at the very least know the signature orange suit and spiked hair. Dragon Ball has also had a game on probably every console to ever come...
Gotham Knights
Here’s the most obvious statement I will ever say in this site, one that will also paint me as a boomer: I don’t understand social media at times. It feels like every now and then the internet collectively tries to overreact towards a new (or old) piece of pop culture,...
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...
Scorn
I think it’s safe to say, like most people, Scorn caught my eye with its art style clearly inspired by H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński. It’s such a striking visual style that it’s hard not to want to see more, as it peaks your macabre sense of wonder. From Ebb...
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is aptly named. Pardon my ultra cheesy cliché with this one, but it does showcase a bit of hope for a game company in dire need of some goodwill. Over the past few months, Ubisoft has been delivering bad news after bad news (delays,...
When Overwatch launched way back in 2016 it was a game changer. It paved the way for the new generation of hero shooters that will eventually come to oversaturate the market. Very few of them managed to get that same feeling across as Overwatch though. I even went on to...
I think I speak for everyone who has previously beaten A Plague Tale: Innocence that a sequel was more than warranted. It’s not like the first game ended on a massive cliffhanger, but there was enough room for a sequel to be created in case the first game became a...
Lost Eidolons
Fire Emblem has surprisingly and unarguably become one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises. And for good reason. Its strategic gameplay is simple, yet has tons of depth and complexity. And it was doing relationships long before Persona 5 made it popular. With that level of popularity though comes plenty of imitations....
