Final Fantasy XVI almost gets it completely right. It continues the franchise’s recent trend of action gameplay and moving further away from its turn based roots. The developers have chosen to make Final Fantasy XVI more in line with other AAA third person affairs in hopes of finding a larger fanbase. It largely succeeds atContinue reading “Final Fantasy XVI was Almost My Perfect Final Fantasy”

God of War: Ragnorak is amazing but…
God of War: Ragnorak is a remarkable video game. Honestly, it has everything that I want in a video game. It’s just not enough for me, personally. I feel as though it doesn’t push the formula of 2018 enough. And in doing so, I feel less impressed with it. That’s not to say Sony SantaContinue reading “God of War: Ragnorak is amazing but…”
The DioField Chronicle Review
The DioField Chronicle is an interesting game. It sits in a genre Square Enix rarely plays with and its not part of any of the company’s existing franchises. In the middle of what some could say the company’s strongest years, it could represent the future of Square Enix. A company looking to embrace its formerContinue reading “The DioField Chronicle Review”
Sonic Frontiers is my Dream Game
Sonic Frontiers is great. It takes me back to a time where I was a Sonic fanatic. Archie was making comics, Sonic cartoons were all over the tv, and there was always a new game coming out. Now in 2022, we have a new cartoon coming, two Hollywood adaptations, IDW making comics, and of course,Continue reading “Sonic Frontiers is my Dream Game”
Babylon’s Fall: Where Did It Go Wrong?
Babylon’s Fall has got to be Platinum Games’ biggest failure. This was to be their biggest project. A Destiny styled action role playing game that fell flat on its face at release. The game did so poorly that Square Enix is pulling the plug on it eleven months after release. I spent a week obsessivelyContinue reading “Babylon’s Fall: Where Did It Go Wrong?”
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Review
The Hinokami Chronicles is one of the best video game adaptations of an anime. There, I said it. A retelling of the first season and the Mugen Train arc, the game beautifully adapts the story into an engaging video game. Those who’ve played CyberConnet2’s previous anime games already know their prowess with faithfully recreating aContinue reading “Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Review”
Backlog Chronicles: Three Games You May Have Missed
Having a backlog is inevitable. We live in an era with more choice than ever before. Fall is just around the corner and you know what that means. The year’s biggest releases are about to hit store shelves. Before things start getting crazy, I have three games I want to talk about that deserve yourContinue reading “Backlog Chronicles: Three Games You May Have Missed”
Disgaea 6 Review: Heartwarming and Funny but Missing Something
Disgaea 6 is the first game I’ve beaten in the franchise and that’s a real shame. I’ve always had an interest in the franchise and I’ve played a few of the games here and there. I’ve enjoyed them all fine but was always pulled away by something else. When I was younger, I really didn’tContinue reading “Disgaea 6 Review: Heartwarming and Funny but Missing Something”
Square Enix Has a Strong Second Half of 2022
One of my favorite game publishers is Square Enix. They work mostly in the JRPG space but they always find a way to make games that take the genre in interesting directions. With the first half of 2022 done, I wanted to take a look forward at what they have coming in the future…and boyContinue reading “Square Enix Has a Strong Second Half of 2022”
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Review
Stranger of Paradise sounds like it should be a dream game for me. Combine the fast paced and thrilling combat of Nioh with the story and depth of Final Fantasy. To an extent, that’s partly true but a few missteps keep from being the dream collab that I expected. The Origin of Chaos For asContinue reading “Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Review”
