From collecting cards in the schoolyard to watching the anime religiously, the franchise has been a constant presence in my life since the franchise really blew up.

I had never played these games before, but with both Never … Read More

I’ll admit – I came into Ever 17 – The Out of Infinity completely blind.

Developed by a small indie team, the game presents a world where urban … Read More

As someone who’s only dipped their toes into the vast ocean of Ys games, I went into Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana with a mix of curiosity and cautious excitement. My history with the series is minimal—I’ve only played a handful of the games, but I’ve really enjoyed every moment of the ones I’ve experienced. When I heard that this reimagining of Ys III: … Read More

As a longtime fan of the Dragon Quest series, I’ve eagerly followed every announcement, every trailer, and every preview about the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.
