When Bravely Default first launched on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2014, it was a game that hooked me pretty quickly, and at the time, I was really looking for a great new RPG to jump into. It felt like a love letter to the golden era of turn-based JRPGs, yet it had enough modern ideas to keep things fresh. The chibi … Read More
Earlier this evening, during a part of the currently running Sydney Film Festival, Hideo Kojima took the stage with his friend, collaborator and well known movie director George Miller for their ‘Hideo Kojima and George Miller in Conversation’ talk where the pair discussed cinema, interactive art and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Travelling all the way to Sydney as … Read More
As a big fan of the Yakuza franchise, learning that I’d get to experience one of its greatest entries as a launch title of my new Nintendo Switch 2 had me pretty excited. Not only because I knew the game was good, but also because it shows what the system is capable of, and showcases to third party publishers the … Read More
Sonic fans were over the moon last year when it was revealed that Sonic Generations was getting the remaster treatment and coming out with brand new content focussed on everyone’s favourite anti-hero Shadow. Now with the launch of Nintendo’s newest console, last year’s release is now back yet again. The original Sonic Generations has always been one of those rare 3D Sonic … Read More
When Elden Ring: Nightreign was revealed at last year’s Game Awards, it came as a real shock. Not because FromSoftware had something new in the pipeline—everyone loves Elden Ring, but because of what it was. The trailer was cryptic, fast-paced, and oozing with dark energy. Familiar sights from Elden Ring twisted into something new. Three-player co-op? Roguelike structure? Pre-built characters? What even was this thing? I wasn’t … Read More
When Tookyo Games first announced they were working on multiple projects several years ago, I was immediately curious. But the one that stood out the most was the project that at the time was unnamed, but went on to become The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. It had that intangible something—a blend of ambition, mystery, and pedigree—that made it feel like … Read More
After previously being refused classification here in Australia back in March, seemingly due to an automated result being generated by the site’s self reporting tool. It appears that the upcoming Silent Hill f has now managed to pass the requirements of the classification board and looks to have earned an MA15+ rating. Looking further at the rating details, we can … Read More
As someone who absolutely adored DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, I went into DOOM: The Dark Ages with sky-high expectations. Those last two entries redefined what a first-person shooter could feel like—fast, frantic, brutally fluid. They threw you into the chaos with speed, power, and an arsenal that turned the battlefield into a ballet of bullets and blood. Plowing through hordes of demons was pure … Read More
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the kind of game that reminds you why you fell in love with RPGs in the first place. It’s bold, imaginative, and refreshingly unconcerned with following the trends that dominate most big-budget titles today. Developed by the relatively unknown Sandfall Interactive—a team of approximately 30 people—this debut effort feels anything but small. From the moment … Read More
When Days Gone first launched back in 2019, it received a mixed reception, with many players wanting to love it more than they actually did. The promise was there—a gritty open-world survival game with emotional storytelling, dynamic weather, a unique motorcycle-centric traversal system, and massive, terrifying hordes of zombie-like Freakers. But the bugs, inconsistent AI, rough performance and pacing issues in the … Read More
