It feels like we’re in the middle of a roguelite resurgence. Within just a few months we’ve seen The Rogue Prince of Persia burst onto the scene, and Hades II is about to dominate the conversation.

Shadow Labyrinth caught my eye for a few reasons, but the biggest one? It’s a spiritual follow-up to one of my favorite episodes from Secret Level. That episode reimagined Pac-Man not as a happy arcade hero, but as something darker and stranger. So when I saw that Shadow Labyrinth was actually turning that idea into a full game, I knew … Read More

Remember when the wizards at CD Projekt Red got The Witcher 3 running on the Nintendo Switch? Well they’ve done it again, this time with 2020’s Cyberpunk 2077.

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

Growing up as a massive fan of the works of Akira Toriyama, likely thanks to watching Dragon Ball every day for around 10 years, playing Chrono Trigger and playing every Dragon Quest entry I could get my hand’s on, I was already sold on Sand Land even before I played it. Being familiar with the source material I knew that … Read More
