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

I’m a big fan of Souls-like games. Over the years, I’ve played and reviewed more than my fair share of them, from the obvious genre heavyweights to some of the more experimental games trying to put their own spin on the formula. Yet, for whatever reason, I’d somehow never gotten around to playing Lies of P. That was despite hearing, … Read More

There’s something wonderfully appropriate about returning to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in 2026. When it originally launched on Nintendo Switch in 2017, it was an ambitious RPG that pushed Nintendo’s hardware surprisingly hard. Now, almost nine years later, I’ve been able to revisit it on Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to the newly released Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. … Read More

Right from the time Nintendo revealed Splatoon Raiders, I was curious to see how the colourful multiplayer shooter would adapt to a single-player adventure. The mainline Splatoon games have always had enjoyable campaigns, but they’ve primarily served as introductions before pushing players into the competitive online modes. Splatoon Raiders changes that formula completely. This isn’t another multiplayer-focused sequel. Instead, it’s … 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

When I played Devil May Cry 5 on PlayStation 4, I walked away convinced it was one of the finest character action games Capcom had ever produced. Years later, I still feel exactly the same. Its stylish combat, unforgettable boss fights, and incredibly satisfying gameplay have aged remarkably well. Now, thanks to Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, I’ve … Read More

Going into Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2, I was in a pretty unique position compared to a lot of longtime Nintendo fans. While so many people have fond memories of playing the original back on the Nintendo 64, I never actually owned one growing up. That meant I completely missed out on the series during its heyday, and most … Read More

When I first played Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition on the original Nintendo Switch, I came away impressed by just how well Monolith Soft had modernised one of the Wii’s greatest RPGs. It felt like Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition only released a couple of years ago, but looking back, it was 6 years ago. Now, thanks to the newly released Nintendo … Read More

When I first started playing the Atelier series, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Despite the franchise having been around for decades, my introduction only came recently through the Ryza trilogy, which quickly won me over with its relaxing exploration, satisfying crafting systems, and lovable cast of characters. After spending dozens of hours with Ryza and her friends, I … Read More

When I first played Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PlayStation 5, I came away convinced it was one of the best RPGs of this generation. Before the Nintendo Switch 2 version launched, I also had the chance to preview the port, and while I was impressed by what I saw, there were still plenty of questions about how the full … Read More
