When Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was first announced, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it instantly became one of the most anticipated anime films of all time. This isn’t just another entry in the franchise, it’s the beginning of the end. Acting as the first part of the grand finale to the series, it has the enormous task … Read More
When I first saw Lost Soul Aside nearly a decade ago, it was the definition of a dream project. One man, Yang Bing, had put together a trailer that looked like something out of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a game I was personally obsessed with and heartbroken never came to fruition. That stylish action, that moody tone, that blend of … Read More
It’s not often that we get a game that’s been locked away in Japan for over a decade, finally breaking free with a full localization. Class of Heroes 3 originally released on PSP back in 2010, but never left Japan. Now, thanks to PQube and a full remaster for the Nintendo Switch, the game has finally landed in the West, … Read More
Earlier today, Nintendo delivered a new Nintendo Direct. Despite hosting both a Partner Showcase and Indie World Showcase Direct in July, this was the one a lot of people were waiting for, knowing that it would come with a look at the future for many of Nintendo’s biggest franchises, be over 60 minutes long and give us updates on games … Read More
When Nintendo announced Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World as a launch window title for the Switch 2, I wasn’t sure what to expect. On paper, it’s a re-release of 2022’s Kirby and the Forgotten Land bundled with new, Switch 2 exclusive DLC called Star-Crossed World. You can either buy the whole package fresh for Switch 2, or, … Read More
I’ll be honest I never thought I’d be writing about a new Metal Gear Solid game again, at least not an entry that has anything to do with the mainline games. When Hideo Kojima split from Konami, I, along with most, assumed the series was finished for good, frozen in time with The Phantom Pain. As a lifelong fan who … Read More
I’ve been playing the Mafia series on and off since the early 2000s, and it’s wild to think the franchise has been around for over two decades now. It’s had its high points, its awkward experiments, and its near misses. Personally, I was never a big fan of Mafia III. It felt like the game wanted too badly to chase … Read More
Growing up, I spent countless hours with Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, falling in love with the mix of layered strategy, memorable characters, and political drama. Those games had a way of making every battle feel important, every choice meaningful. But somewhere along the line, these kinds of games became rarer, overshadowed by other genres. When Triangle Strategy first launched on Switch back in … Read More
Tookyo Games are relentless. Since their formation in 2020, they’ve been putting out games at a breakneck pace, each one bold in concept and distinct in presentation. Earlier this year, they released The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, a game that already felt ambitious in scope. And now, before that one even has time to breathe, they’ve teamed up with … Read More
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a Prince of Persia fan. From the classic 2D side-scroller I played on my GameBoy to The Sands of Time trilogy, the series has always stood out as one of gaming’s most iconic platforming adventures. When Ubisoft announced The Rogue Prince of Persia, a roguelite title developed by Evil Empire, the … Read More
