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…”
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?”
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”
Labyrinth Legend: Short, Fun, and Grindy
I knew absolutely nothing about Labyrinth Legend before playing but I’m glad I did. Labyrinth Legend is a retro inspired, indie dungeon crawler. It’s one of a few indie games, like Giraffe and Annika, being published by NIS America. Apparently, it first released on mobile and PC back in 2020 and has now finally hitContinue reading “Labyrinth Legend: Short, Fun, and Grindy”

Marvel’s Avengers Beta Impressions
Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers is a game I’ve looked forward to since it was announced back in 2017. Their Tomb Raider reboot was excellent with its ability to capture cinematic, action packed gameplay. My was racing with ideas of how they could tell an Avengers story in a single player narrative driven experience. After SquareContinue reading “Marvel’s Avengers Beta Impressions”
Ghost of Tsushima Review: Sucker Punch’s Masterpiece?
A New Classic I would be lying if I said Ghost of Tsushima was my most anticipated game of 2020. In this year alone we’ve seen the release of DOOM Eternal, Nioh II, Streets of Rage 4, the Trials of Mana remake, the Last of Us Part II, and my personal game of the year,Continue reading “Ghost of Tsushima Review: Sucker Punch’s Masterpiece?”
One Piece: World Seeker
Ever since I picked up issue 15 of Shonen Jump magazine back in 2004, I have been a fan of One Piece. Eiichiro Oda’s knack for compelling storytelling combined with his quirky Toriyama-inspired art style captured me from the moment I laid my eyes on it. Over the years, I’ve gobbled up all of theContinue reading “One Piece: World Seeker”
