When I first sat down to play Denshattack on PS5, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. It looked stylish enough from the trailers, but it wasn’t a game that had dominated headlines or generated the kind of hype that usually surrounds major releases. After spending a considerable amount of time with it, though, I came away convinced that this is going … Read More

I had the pleasure of playing Digimon Story Time Stranger when it first launched on PlayStation 5 last year, and I came away genuinely impressed. It delivered exactly what I wanted from a modern Digimon RPG, with an engaging story, a fantastic roster of Digimon to collect and evolve, and a combat system that kept me invested from beginning to end. It … Read More

For years, Halo has always occupied this almost mythical place in gaming for me. Growing up with PlayStation consoles meant I never really had the opportunity to experience Microsoft’s flagship series firsthand. I knew the name, I knew Master Chief, and I knew Halo was considered one of the most influential shooters ever made, but that was about the extent … Read More

From the time it released in 2013, Black Flag has always been my favourite Assassin’s Creed game, and that’s saying something considering how much I love the ancient Egypt setting of Origins and feudal Japan in Shadows. Those games have some of my favourite worlds in the entire franchise, but there has always been something special about Black Flag. It … Read More

I’ve been a fan of Sword Art Online for years, particularly the earlier seasons. There’s something about the original Aincrad arc that has always stood out to me. The idea of thousands of players becoming trapped inside a virtual world where death in the game meant death in real life remains one of the most compelling premises in anime, and … Read More

I’ve always had a soft spot for anything inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, even if I don’t normally gravitate towards co-op survival games. They’re usually not a genre that keeps my attention for very long. Still, the promise of a Lovecraftian survival experience that could also be played completely solo was enough to convince me to give … Read More

Every now and then, a game comes along that reminds me why I fell in love with action RPGs in the first place. They don’t always need sprawling open worlds or endless checklists to keep me engaged. Sometimes all it takes is a memorable adventure, satisfying combat, and a world that’s simply enjoyable to explore. That’s exactly what I was … Read More

I’ve long been aware of the Captain Tsubasa series, but if I’m being honest, it’s one franchise that’s largely passed me by. I never played the previous game, I haven’t sat down to watch the anime, and as someone who’s far from being the world’s biggest soccer fan, it wasn’t exactly something that had been sitting at the top of … Read More

When I played Devil May Cry 5 on PlayStation 4, I walked away convinced it was one of the finest character action games Capcom had ever produced. Years later, I still feel exactly the same. Its stylish combat, unforgettable boss fights, and incredibly satisfying gameplay have aged remarkably well. Now, thanks to Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, I’ve … Read More

Going into Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2, I was in a pretty unique position compared to a lot of longtime Nintendo fans. While so many people have fond memories of playing the original back on the Nintendo 64, I never actually owned one growing up. That meant I completely missed out on the series during its heyday, and most … Read More
