I currently have 340+ hours of Diablo 3 logged on my Nintendo Switch. The gameplay loop is addictive and despite it being repetitive, the expected tedium never sets in. It’s because the mechanics marry together in a seamless manner, creating a memorable loot grind that’s exciting. So it’s no surprise that some developers strive to dabble in […]

Nier Replicant Ver. 122474487139 – Review
I’d typically expunge on the history of a game in my introduction. Today, I’m going to travel down an unfamiliar path; one that will render this review obsolete. Nier Replicant is a title you need to experience post-haste. There‘s no time to ponder reviews or to scan through my senseless inane drivel. If, however, you […]
Deiland – Review | A Giant Pumpkin!
Deiland was previously released on mobile devices back in 2016. It had a free-to-play model and regardless of opinions on that, it still received a rather strong reception. So naturally, Chibig felt inspired to bring their little gem to PC and console. They weren’t willing to lazily throw it over either, just overhauling the graphical integrity to, […]
Root Film – Review | Lights, Camera, Action!
Two franchises I hold in high regard are both Ace Attorney and Danganronpa. There’s just something truly special about a great murder mystery. Toss in a powerful narrative and you have your claws firmly sunken into me. Visual Novels have an innate ability to whisk me into another world. It’s a genre that will consist of minimal […]
Fallen Legion Revenants – Review
If I were to describe an RPG, I’d specify three things: exploration, a level system, and a captivating story. Unfortunately, Fallen Legion Revenants struggles with or outright precludes these. I do think there are some interesting ideas all the same. The battle system is unlike most that I’ve seen and the hand-drawn aesthetic is beautiful. […]
Persona 5 Royal – 2020 GOTY Review | Thou Art I
2020 was a rough year and most of us used video games as an escape. While we were all in isolation, I was eagerly awaiting a game. Persona 5 Royal was set to be released by the end of the month. It’s an enhanced rerelease of the vanilla version with significant additions and changes. I was absolutely […]
Undermine – Review | Hi Ho, Hi Ho
IT’S OFF TO WORK WE GO! Growing up, there was always a franchise that remained predominant in my life – The Legend of Zelda. I adored its setting, the charm in all its entries, and most importantly, the combat. So once Undermine came to my attention, my interest was piqued. Initially released on PC as an early access title, the […]
Littlewood – Review | Is That You Dark Cloud!?
WELCOME TO LITTLEWOOD! (Intro) There’s something truly captivating about the slice-of-life genre. In fact, harvesting crops or cultivating relationships is strangely relaxing to me. Furthermore, as I get older, my reflexes start to falter. So, I appreciate the slower pace these titles have. Littlewood is just the latest entry into the life simulator genre but […]
Giraffe and Annika – Review | My Niece’s Debut
Giraffe and Annika has been on the market for several months now. I received my code around release and I quickly finished half of the game. I fully intended to finish it and write a review in the following days, but that all changed. As I continued, I noticed it appealed to the younger demographic […]
Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Game – Review | Rock on!
The legend goes that in 2010, a game known as Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Game released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. I vividly remember playing it after becoming obsessed with the movie that inspired it. That’s right, this by all respects is a video game based on a film. Not to despair though as it’s more […]
