When I first heard that Never 7 – The End of Infinity was getting a remaster, I knew I had to check it out. As a huge fan of Kotaro Uchikoshi’s later works—Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999) and AI: The Somnium Files—I’ve always been intrigued by his earlier gaming contributions with the Infinity series. I had never played these games before, but with both Never … Read More

I’ll admit – I came into Ever 17 – The Out of Infinity completely blind. I had heard the name tossed around for years, often in the same breath as some of the greatest visual novels ever made, but I had never actually played it. What really piqued my interest this time around was the fact that it was written by Kotaro Uchikoshi, … Read More

I’ve dabbled in the Two Point series before, having spent some time with Two Point Campus. While I enjoyed its quirky management mechanics and charming humor, I eventually drifted away from it, despite having a good time. Two Point Museum, however, has had an entirely different effect on me. From the moment I placed my first exhibit, I was hooked, sinking many … Read More

I’ll be honest—I never played the original Phantom Brave when it first launched back in 2004. But with Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero arriving on the Nintendo Switch more than two decades later, I was eager to see what all the fuss was about. Thankfully, I quickly found out that you don’t need to have much prior experience with the series to enjoy this … Read More

When Trails Through Daybreak launched last year, it felt like a fresh start for the long-running Trails series—a game designed to welcome newcomers while still offering plenty for long-time fans. Trails Through Daybreak 2, however, takes a different approach. It’s not a standalone entry but a direct continuation of Van Arkride’s story, picking up right where the first game left off. If you haven’t played Daybreak … Read More

There’s something special about diving into a mystery—especially when the unknown is tinged with the supernatural. Urban Myth Dissolution Center caught my eye with its eerie premise and its striking pixel art, but what kept me hooked was its engaging mix of visual novel storytelling and point-and-click adventure gameplay. Developed by a small indie team, the game presents a world where urban … Read More

As a fan of the last few entries in the Civilization series, I was eager to dive into Civilization 7, the latest entry in Sid Meier’s iconic turn-based strategy franchise. Over the years, Civ has kept me up late into the night with its “just one more turn” addictiveness, and Civ 7 is no different. This installment refines the formula in some key ways, making it both … Read More

I have very fond memories of playing through the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy on the Super Nintendo. Those games were some of my favorite platformers growing up, so it doesn’t take much to get me excited for anything Donkey Kong-related—especially when it comes to a Donkey Kong Country title. That said, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for the Nintendo Switch is a remaster of a … Read More

For fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, it’s been a long 7 year wait to see what the team at Warhorse Studios would come out with next. When we finally learned last year that it was going to be a Kingdom Come sequel, I, along with many others were thrilled to hear it. And now it’s finally arrived. Kingdom Come: Deliverance … Read More

As someone who’s only dipped their toes into the vast ocean of Ys games, I went into Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana with a mix of curiosity and cautious excitement. My history with the series is minimal—I’ve only played a handful of the games, but I’ve really enjoyed every moment of the ones I’ve experienced. When I heard that this reimagining of Ys III: … Read More
