I still remember the moment I first saw the original Death Stranding reveal back during E3 2016. That intriguing reveal trailer, the cryptic symbols, Norman Reedus cradling a baby on a beach. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen. I became pretty obsessed. Every new trailer, I’d watch it on repeat, watch breakdown videos and try and work out what … Read More
The AI: The Somnium Files series isn’t a long running franchise but right from it’s inception in 2019 it’s held a special place in my heart, especially for its eccentric blend of crime drama, sci-fi, and heartfelt character moments. With the series’ mastermind, Kotaro Uchikoshi, stepping back into a supervisory role and not penning the story this time around, I went into … Read More
When Hogwarts Legacy first dropped in 2023, it was an immediate hit—selling millions in a matter of weeks. As someone who’s been knee-deep in the Harry Potter universe since I first experienced the films and the books as a kid, I couldn’t wait to explore a fully open-world Hogwarts game. I loved the game when I played it on the PS5 at … Read More
I completely missed the original Raidou Kuzunoha duology back on the PlayStation 2. I’m no newcomer to the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series, but Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army somehow slipped past me back in the day. So when ATLUS announced Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army for PS5, I was pretty excited that … Read More
Remember when the wizards at CD Projekt Red got The Witcher 3 running on the Nintendo Switch? Well they’ve done it again, this time with 2020’s Cyberpunk 2077. Before i’d had the chance to get hand’s on, I never thought I’d be able to say that Cyberpunk 2077 runs great on a Nintendo handheld. In fact, it doesn’t just run—it shines. After … Read More
When I saw the first trailer for Date Everything!, It definitely had me interested. I thought I was in for a quirky little indie romance sim with a gimmick that would get a lot of people in the door and open to checking it out. You know, date a few objects, get a few chuckles, then move onto the next thing. … Read More
When Bravely Default first launched on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2014, it was a game that hooked me pretty quickly, and at the time, I was really looking for a great new RPG to jump into. It felt like a love letter to the golden era of turn-based JRPGs, yet it had enough modern ideas to keep things fresh. The chibi … Read More
Sonic fans were over the moon last year when it was revealed that Sonic Generations was getting the remaster treatment and coming out with brand new content focussed on everyone’s favourite anti-hero Shadow. Now with the launch of Nintendo’s newest console, last year’s release is now back yet again. The original Sonic Generations has always been one of those rare 3D Sonic … Read More
When Elden Ring: Nightreign was revealed at last year’s Game Awards, it came as a real shock. Not because FromSoftware had something new in the pipeline—everyone loves Elden Ring, but because of what it was. The trailer was cryptic, fast-paced, and oozing with dark energy. Familiar sights from Elden Ring twisted into something new. Three-player co-op? Roguelike structure? Pre-built characters? What even was this thing? I wasn’t … Read More
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the kind of game that reminds you why you fell in love with RPGs in the first place. It’s bold, imaginative, and refreshingly unconcerned with following the trends that dominate most big-budget titles today. Developed by the relatively unknown Sandfall Interactive—a team of approximately 30 people—this debut effort feels anything but small. From the moment … Read More
