I’ve known about Ace Combat for years. It’s one of those game series I’d regularly see mentioned whenever people talked about PlayStation, arcade flight games or some of the best aerial combat ever put into a video game. Despite that, I’d somehow never actually played one. So when I started Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve on PS5, I went … Read More

There are few video game series that have had quite the impact on me that Metal Gear has. I’ve been a fan of Hideo Kojima’s work for years, and I still consider him one of the most creative game creators to ever work in the medium. His games have always been willing to take risks, whether that meant turning stealth … Read More

I’ll admit that I came to Onimusha: Way of the Sword from a slightly unusual position. Despite growing up with a PS2 and spending plenty of time with action games, I somehow never played the original Onimusha titles. The series had always been one of those Capcom franchises I knew about without ever actually experiencing for myself. I knew its … Read More

When The Blood of Dawnwalker was first revealed, I immediately had a feeling that this was a game I needed to keep an eye on. Not just because the premise of playing a half-vampire in a medieval fantasy world sounded appealing, but because of the people behind it. Rebel Wolves was established by a group of former CD Projekt RED … Read More

There probably isn’t much point in explaining what Elden Ring is at this stage. FromSoftware’s open-world action RPG became a genuine gaming phenomenon when it launched in 2022, winning Game of the Year awards, selling tens of millions of copies and becoming one of the most critically acclaimed games ever made. Still, for the sake of the review, Elden Ring … Read More

Before getting my hands on Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters, I wasn’t particularly familiar with the Captain Tsubasa franchise. I hadn’t played the previous game, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions, and I haven’t watched the anime either. I’m not exactly the biggest soccer fan in the world, so this probably isn’t the most obvious series for me to gravitate … Read More

Ever since Star Wars: Zero Company was first revealed, I’ve been incredibly excited to get my hands on it. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Star Wars universe, but I’m also a massive fan of tactical strategy games, particularly games like XCOM. So when the two were brought together in one game, it immediately felt like one of … Read More

I’m a big fan of Souls-like games. Over the years, I’ve played and reviewed more than my fair share of them, from the obvious genre heavyweights to some of the more experimental games trying to put their own spin on the formula. Yet, for whatever reason, I’d somehow never gotten around to playing Lies of P. That was despite hearing, … Read More

I’ve played my fair share of fighting games over the years, from traditional one on one fighters to the more chaotic tag-based games that ask you to keep track of an entire team. I’ve also spent a ridiculous amount of time with Arc System Works’ previous work, particularly Dragon Ball FighterZ, so when the studio announced MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, … Read More

There’s something refreshing about seeing Game Freak step outside the shadow of Pokémon. For decades, the studio has been almost synonymous with Nintendo’s monster-catching series, but Beast of Reincarnation gives the developer an opportunity to show what it can do when it isn’t constrained by Poké Balls, gyms and turn-based battles. Developed by Game Freak as a major new action … Read More
