Being a longtime Critical Role fan, I now find myself so eager each year for the latest season of their animated adaptation for campaign one. It’s been a longer wait this year for the new season, but I can tell you that it’s been well and truly worth it. The foul mouthed, loveable misfits that are Vox Machina are back … Read More

When I first purchased my PS5, the game that grabbed me the hardest and justified why I’d just bought the new console was Astro’s Playroom. Now sure, that may have been because it was a pack in title that everyone got with the console, but that point aside, Astro’s Playroom wasn’t just a small gimmick demo, it’s still one of … Read More

Nintendo had the world pondering the possibilities when it unveiled its ‘Who is Emio?’  campaign earlier this year. The creepy trailer had everyone wondering what this horror experience would turn out to be. Thankfully we didn’t have to wait long to find out, and I’m even more thankful that we didn’t have a multi-year long wait to actually get the … Read More

Looking at Square Enix’s game catalogue, there’s no shortage of incredible JRPGs. They’re the publisher that many people first think of these days whenever the discussion of role playing games comes up. But one series that I feel has always been seriously underrated, especially here in the west is the Mana series. With it’s origins kicking off in the early … Read More

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.

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

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
