I’ll be honest I never thought I’d be writing about a new Metal Gear Solid game again, at least not an entry that has anything to do with the mainline games. When Hideo Kojima split from Konami, I, along with most, assumed the series was finished for good, frozen in time with The Phantom Pain. As a lifelong fan who … Read More

I’ve been playing the Mafia series on and off since the early 2000s, and it’s wild to think the franchise has been around for over two decades now. It’s had its high points, its awkward experiments, and its near misses. Personally, I was never a big fan of Mafia III. It felt like the game wanted too badly to chase … Read More

Growing up, I spent countless hours with Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, falling in love with the mix of layered strategy, memorable characters, and political drama. Those games had a way of making every battle feel important, every choice meaningful. But somewhere along the line, these kinds of games became rarer, overshadowed by other genres. When Triangle Strategy first launched on Switch back in … Read More

Tookyo Games are relentless. Since their formation in 2020, they’ve been putting out games at a breakneck pace, each one bold in concept and distinct in presentation. Earlier this year, they released The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, a game that already felt ambitious in scope. And now, before that one even has time to breathe, they’ve teamed up with … Read More

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a Prince of Persia fan. From the classic 2D side-scroller I played on my GameBoy to The Sands of Time trilogy, the series has always stood out as one of gaming’s most iconic platforming adventures. When Ubisoft announced The Rogue Prince of Persia, a roguelite title developed by Evil Empire, the … Read More

Despite loving the concept, I have to admit, farming games have been a gaming genre that I’ve dabbled in, but never really invested the time into, even though the Story of Seasons series has been on my radar numerous times. So when Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar was announced for the Nintendo Switch, I was immediately curious. I never played … Read More

I’ve been following Jujutsu Kaisen since the anime first began airing in 2020, and it quickly cemented itself as one of the most popular modern shonen series. Between its dark themes, high-octane battles, and genuinely emotional storytelling, it’s managed to stand out in a crowded field of anime adaptations. We’ve already seen the franchise make the leap to the big … Read More

I’ve been a big fan of Mages for a while now. They have this knack for creating visual novels that stick with me long after the credits roll. Steins;Gate is still one of my all-time favorite pieces of interactive storytelling, and more recently, Emio – The Smiling Man floored me with its dark atmosphere and gut-punch twists. So when I … Read More

I’ve been a fan of Demon Slayer since the anime first began airing and became a worldwide phenomenon, and when The Hinokami Chronicles came out in 2021, I jumped on it. It wasn’t perfect, but it captured the style and flair of the series well enough to keep me playing. Now we’ve got The Hinokami Chronicles 2, a direct sequel … Read More

I’ve been playing Donkey Kong games for as long as I can remember. I grew up on the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy on the SNES and Country 2 is still one of my all-time favorite platformers. Like a lot of longtime fans, I’ve always held a bit of cautious optimism about DK’s future. Donkey Kong 64 tried to go … Read More
