It’s no secret that I’m a long-time Final Fantasy fan. I’ve reviewed a heap of the games in the series over the years, and few have had quite the same impact on me as Final Fantasy VII and the ambitious remake project that followed it. After Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I’m more than ready to … Read More

I’ve always had a soft spot for Dragon Quest. From its colourful worlds and memorable characters to its wonderfully old-school approach to RPGs, it’s a series I’ve returned to time and time again. The Dragon Quest Monsters spin-off, however, is a different story. Despite being a massive Dragon Quest fan, my experience with the series has been surprisingly limited. I … Read More

As a long-time Final Fantasy fan, I’ve spent years wondering what the series could look like if Square Enix ever took its modern HD-2D technology and applied it directly to a new Final Fantasy adventure. After playing through all of Square Enix’s HD-2D releases, from Octopath Traveler to the various remakes and reinterpretations that have followed, it always felt like … Read More

I’ve been keeping a close eye on Star Wars: Zero Company ever since it was first revealed. As someone who loves both the Star Wars universe and tactical strategy games like XCOM, the idea of combining the two immediately sounded like an almost perfect pairing. Now, after recently getting the chance to go hands-on with the game and spend a … 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

As a lifelong Dragon Ball fan, it honestly doesn’t take much to get my attention when a new game based on Akira Toriyama’s iconic series is announced. I’ve spent countless hours with Dragon Ball games over the years, including both Xenoverse titles. That said, it’s been quite a while since I’ve properly immersed myself in the Xenoverse universe. While I … Read More

I’ve always had a soft spot for Sword Art Online. While the anime has certainly had its ups and downs over the years, I’ve enjoyed following Kirito’s adventures ever since the series first debuted. The franchise has also produced a surprisingly solid lineup of video game adaptations, with several of them doing a great job of expanding on the world … Read More

When I first laid eyes on The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, I immediately understood why Square Enix chose to reveal it the way they did. Before I even saw combat or heard dialogue, the art style did the heavy lifting. The game is stunning. But what surprised me most wasn’t simply that Square Enix had created another gorgeous … Read More

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

When most people hear “Monster Hunter,” they think of oversized weapons, grueling boss fights, and carefully carved steaks cooking over a campfire. The Stories subseries has always done something different. Instead of hunting monsters, you befriend them. You hatch them. You ride them into battle. It takes the familiar world of Monster Hunter and reshapes it into a turn-based, character-driven … Read More
