While it doesn’t reinvent … Read More

I still remember the moment I first saw the original Death Stranding reveal back during E3 2016. That intriguing reveal trailer, the cryptic symbols, Norman Reedus cradling a baby on a beach. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen. I became pretty obsessed. Every new trailer, I’d watch it on repeat, watch breakdown videos and try and work out what … Read More

The AI: The Somnium Files series isn’t a long running franchise but right from it’s inception in 2019 it’s held a special place in my heart, especially for its eccentric blend of crime drama, sci-fi, and heartfelt character moments.

I’m no newcomer to the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series, but Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army somehow slipped past me back in the day. So when ATLUS announced Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army for PS5, I was pretty excited that … Read More

Remember when the wizards at CD Projekt Red got The Witcher 3 running on the Nintendo Switch? Well they’ve done it again, this time with 2020’s Cyberpunk 2077. Before i’d had the chance to get hand’s on, I never thought I’d be able to say that Cyberpunk 2077 runs great on a Nintendo handheld. In fact, it doesn’t just run—it shines. After … Read More

When I saw the first trailer for Date Everything!, It definitely had me interested. I thought I was in for a quirky little indie romance sim with a gimmick that would get a lot of people in the door and open to checking it out.

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.
