Getting a new Supermassive horror game has become a yearly tradition at this point, and quite frankly it’s something I consistently look forward to. Over the past 5 or so years, Supermassive have stolen the spotlight when it comes to narrative, choice-driven games. When there was radio silence on when the next entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology would be … Read More
It’s no secret that ever since Disney has taken over ownership of the franchise, there’s been no shortage of Star Wars media coming at us left, right and centre. Some of it clearly better than others and when it comes to the movies and tv series, it’s showing no signs of slowing down. When it comes to video games though, … Read More
Japanese RPGs have an amazing ability to get you completely immersed in grand fantastical worlds, largely thanks to their vast worlds, engaging characters and mesmerising plots. I’m a massive fan of the genre, which will be to the surprise of no one that’s checked out my previous reviews here. But one series that’s always been on the backburner was the … Read More
Despite being a huge fan of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and by extension all of the Persona games, Shin Megami Tensei 5 was a game that has sat in my backlog pile of shame ever since it originally launched back in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. Thankfully that’s no longer the case thanks to the recent release of Shin … Read More
When I reviewed Elden Ring when it released back in 2022, I praised it for it’s incredible design and worldbuilding and said that it would be a game that I would likely return to for a long time to come. And I did, as do many, many others. To this day, I continue to find new areas and enemies that … Read More
It’s no secret that I love Dragon Ball. I grew up with the series and it continues to be something I continue to got back to and constantly enjoy. The anime, the manga, the movies. I love it all. And despite the series ending (for the most part) many years ago, we still consistently get more and more video games … Read More
The Sand Land series has seen a lot of love recently. In just the past year, it’s gone from being a small and fairly niche piece of Akira Toriyama’s catalogue thanks to a film, anime series and now a video game adaptation. As I mentioned back when I previewed the game, I was initially worried that due to the original … Read More
A new Final Fantasy game never fails to excite me. Sure, over the years the series has certainly seen it’s ups and downs, and some of the spin-off titles aren’t super great by comparison, but the series still holds a big place in my heart given it’s been a staple series I’ve loved since childhood. And after experiencing the original … Read More
Growing up as a massive fan of the works of Akira Toriyama, likely thanks to watching Dragon Ball every day for around 10 years, playing Chrono Trigger and playing every Dragon Quest entry I could get my hand’s on, I was already sold on Sand Land even before I played it. Being familiar with the source material I knew that … Read More
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Persona series. There’s just nothing like getting attached to a great cast of characters, managing day-to-day activities, fusing and raising Personas and getting to uncover the overarching mysteries that feature within their games. Yes they are very long games (hence the delay on this review) but I’ve never seen that as … Read More
