Japanese RPGs have an amazing ability to get you completely immersed in grand fantastical worlds, largely thanks to their vast worlds, engaging characters and mesmerising plots. I’m a massive fan of the genre, which will be to the surprise of no one that’s checked out my previous reviews here. But one series that’s always been on the backburner was the … Read More

Despite being a huge fan of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and by extension all of the Persona games, Shin Megami Tensei 5 was a game that has sat in my backlog pile of shame ever since it originally launched back in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. Thankfully that’s no longer the case thanks to the recent release of Shin … Read More

When I reviewed Elden Ring when it released back in 2022, I praised it for it’s incredible design and worldbuilding and said that it would be a game that I would likely return to for a long time to come. And I did, as do many, many others. To this day, I continue to find new areas and enemies that … Read More

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

A new Final Fantasy game never fails to excite me. Sure, over the years the series has certainly seen it’s ups and downs, and some of the spin-off titles aren’t super great by comparison, but the series still holds a big place in my heart given it’s been a staple series I’ve loved since childhood. And after experiencing 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

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Persona series. There’s just nothing like getting attached to a great cast of characters, managing day-to-day activities, fusing and raising Personas and getting to uncover the overarching mysteries that feature within their games. Yes they are very long games (hence the delay on this review) but I’ve never seen that as … Read More

Fighting game fans have been eating incredibly well over the past year. 2 of the big 3 in the genre have already received their latest entries and now rounding out the bunch is the latest entry in one of my favourite gaming franchises, Tekken 8. The game features a huge range of modes to provide a diverse fighting experience to … Read More

It’s hard to deny the cultural impact The Last of Us series has had since its original launch. Both the first and second game have had people mesmerised by its world and discussing its story and themes many years on from the launch of each game. I still consider the original 2013 release to be one of, if not the … Read More

I have a long and passionate history with the Prince of Persia franchise. It’s a series that helped bridge a gaming relationship with my Dad due to his personal history playing the original game, so we both spent plenty of nights playing through the Sands of Time trilogy together when it released in the early 2000s. I had always hoped … Read More
