Ani-Game

There are certain games that stick with you long after you’ve finished them. For me, Steins;Gate is absolutely one of those games. Originally released in 2009, the visual novel went on to become one of the most beloved entries in the Science Adventure series, eventually finding an even wider audience through its hugely successful anime adaptation. It’s a story I’ve … Read More

There’s something immediately familiar about Duskfade. From the moment I stepped into its colourful clockwork world, I felt like I’d been transported back to the mid-2000s, when 3D platformers were everywhere and every new adventure seemed to have a lovable mascot, a collection of strange worlds to explore and a combination of platforming, combat and light RPG mechanics. Developed by … Read More

I’ll be honest, I came to Blue Reflection Quartet with absolutely no experience with the series. I’d never played the original Blue Reflection, I hadn’t watched the anime, and I’d completely missed Blue Reflection Sun during its time as a mobile game. In fact, before picking up Quartet, my knowledge of the series basically amounted to knowing that it was … 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

When I first sat down to play Denshattack on PS5, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. It looked stylish enough from the trailers, but it wasn’t a game that had dominated headlines or generated the kind of hype that usually surrounds major releases. After spending a considerable amount of time with it, though, I came away convinced that this is going … Read More

For years, Halo has always occupied this almost mythical place in gaming for me. Growing up with PlayStation consoles meant I never really had the opportunity to experience Microsoft’s flagship series firsthand. I knew the name, I knew Master Chief, and I knew Halo was considered one of the most influential shooters ever made, but that was about the extent … 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 always had a soft spot for anything inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, even if I don’t normally gravitate towards co-op survival games. They’re usually not a genre that keeps my attention for very long. Still, the promise of a Lovecraftian survival experience that could also be played completely solo was enough to convince me to give … Read More

Every now and then, a game comes along that reminds me why I fell in love with action RPGs in the first place. They don’t always need sprawling open worlds or endless checklists to keep me engaged. Sometimes all it takes is a memorable adventure, satisfying combat, and a world that’s simply enjoyable to explore. That’s exactly what I was … 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
