When Final Fantasy VII Rebirth first launched, I spent dozens of hours with it on the PlayStation 5, completely absorbed in its world. It’s the kind of game that sticks with you, not just because of its scale, but because of how confidently it builds on everything that came before it and how it wasn’t afraid to push the classic … Read More

I’ve had my eye on Mouse P.I. For Hire for a long time. Ever since it was first revealed, it stood out in a way that most games just don’t. That black-and-white, Steamboat Willie animation style felt like something pulled straight out of a forgotten cartoon archive, but twisted into something darker, moodier, and a little bit dangerous. It looked … Read More

I’ve got a bit of a weakness for roguelikes. That “one more run” feeling has stolen more of my time than I’d like to admit, and I mean that in the best possible way. Games like The Binding of Isaac and Rogue Legacy had me hooked for weeks on end, but nothing quite hit the same highs as Hades. When … Read More

Coming back to Starfield on PS5 after playing it at launch feels a bit strange in the best way. It’s familiar, but not in a stale sense. It’s more like returning to something you already liked and realizing it’s grown into a more complete version of itself. I was genuinely into Starfield when it first released. I put a lot … Read More

When Super Mario Bros. Wonder first landed back in 2023, it felt like a reset in the best way. After years of solid but safe side-scrolling entries during the Wii and 3DS era, this was Nintendo reminding everyone how inventive 2D Mario could be. I remember finishing it with a big grin on my face, impressed by how it mixed classic platforming … Read More

I’ve dipped in and out of extraction shooters before, and while I always appreciate the tension, they tend to feel a bit sterile after a while. You get the adrenaline, sure, but not always the personality or long-term pull. Marathon surprised me because it has both. After a good number of hours on PS5, I’m still jumping back in, not because I … Read More

When I first heard about Pokémon Pokopia on the Nintendo Switch 2, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical. Pokémon has had more spin-offs than I can count, and while some are great, plenty fade into the background pretty quickly. But after spending a good amount of time with Pokopia, I can confidently say this might be the best spin-off … Read More

There was a time when the Fatal Frame series felt like a quiet pillar of survival horror. It never had the blockbuster presence of something like Resident Evil, but it carved out its own identity with a slower, more intimate kind of fear. In recent years though, it’s slipped into the background. New entries stopped coming, and unless you were … Read More

There’s something a little unusual about revisiting a game that never really left. Tales of Berseria Remastered arrives as part of the Tales Anniversary Remastered Project, bringing a relatively recent entry in the series back into the spotlight with a fresh upgrade for modern hardware. It’s not the kind of remaster that feels long overdue, but for me, it landed … Read More

When most people think of the long-running Monster Hunter franchise, they picture intense action battles against towering beasts and the thrill of crafting powerful gear from the spoils of the hunt. But the spin-off series, Monster Hunter Stories, has always taken a very different approach. Rather than portraying monsters purely as prey, the Stories games explore a world where humans … Read More
