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
I had the pleasure of playing Digimon Story Time Stranger when it first launched on PlayStation 5 last year, and I came away genuinely impressed. It delivered exactly what I wanted from a modern Digimon RPG, with an engaging story, a fantastic roster of Digimon to collect and evolve, and a combat system that kept me invested from beginning to end. It … Read More
I’ve been a fan of Sword Art Online for years, particularly the earlier seasons. There’s something about the original Aincrad arc that has always stood out to me. The idea of thousands of players becoming trapped inside a virtual world where death in the game meant death in real life remains one of the most compelling premises in anime, and … Read More
I’ve long been aware of the Captain Tsubasa series, but if I’m being honest, it’s one franchise that’s largely passed me by. I never played the previous game, I haven’t sat down to watch the anime, and as someone who’s far from being the world’s biggest soccer fan, it wasn’t exactly something that had been sitting at the top of … Read More
As a lifelong Dragon Ball fan, it honestly doesn’t take much to get my attention when a new game based on Akira Toriyama’s iconic series is announced. I’ve spent countless hours with Dragon Ball games over the years, including both Xenoverse titles. That said, it’s been quite a while since I’ve properly immersed myself in the Xenoverse universe. While I … Read More
I’ve always had a soft spot for Sword Art Online. While the anime has certainly had its ups and downs over the years, I’ve enjoyed following Kirito’s adventures ever since the series first debuted. The franchise has also produced a surprisingly solid lineup of video game adaptations, with several of them doing a great job of expanding on the world … Read More
There’s something a little unusual about revisiting a game that never really left. Tales of Berseria Remastered arrives as part of the Tales Anniversary Remastered Project, bringing a relatively recent entry in the series back into the spotlight with a fresh upgrade for modern hardware. It’s not the kind of remaster that feels long overdue, but for me, it landed … Read More
For a series as big as My Hero Academia, I’ve always been a little surprised at how few console games we’ve had. The anime exploded in popularity not long after it debuted, and the fan base has only grown since. We got a couple of solid arena fighters, most recently My Hero One’s Justice 2, but after that, things went … Read More
