Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is the latest entry in the Sword Art Online game series. After last year’s Sword Art Online: Last Recollection delivered a disappointing end to the Gameverse canon, I wasn’t particularly interested in trying out another SAO game anytime soon. Fractured Daydream has a unique advantage though. It was developed by […]

Ys X: Nordics – Review
The Ys series has been around the block for quite some time, with the first game hitting the scene at around the same time as the original Legend of Zelda game. Among Nihon Falcom’s pantheon, it’s endured as their most steady franchise with over 35 years of history and iteration under its belt. Over those […]
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster – Review
It’s like 2006 all over again and Frank West is once again back to doing what he does best: snapping pictures of the living dead. Miss out on the 2016 PS4 or PC rereleases or just want to play again with some modern touch-ups? Perhaps it’s time to get the camera gear ready and revisit […]
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Review
It’s time yet again for another outing in The Legend of Zelda series. After Breath of the Wild and its sequel upped the ante on the series’ capabilities in full 3D, now marks the return of top down Zelda after almost 11 years without a new entry in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. […]
NanoApostle – Review
Although the concept of a “boss rush” game has been around for a while, this sub-genre has become more of a mainstay of indie games in the last decade with the success of titles like Titan Souls, Furi, and Cuphead. Although these games use different gameplay systems, they all share in how they largely eschew […]

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble – Review
Whether the more modern sequel Cobra Kai captured your attention or you’ve been playing games since the 16-bit era like I have, you’ll probably be well-versed in The Karate Kid franchise and its charismatic Mr. Miyagi. Gamemill Entertainment and Odaclick Game Studio are taking those of us who grew up in the ’80s on a […]
Visions of Mana – Review
I’ve had a bit of a peculiar relationship with Square’s long-running Mana series (also known as Seiken Densetsu). It’s one of gaming’s most enduring action-RPG series, and its influence on the genre is quite palpable. I have my share of fond things to say about several Mana games, yet I’ve always wanted to see one […]
BAKERU – Review
You may already know Good Feel for their work on some of the modern Yoshi titles and the recent Princess Peach Showtime. Today, they bring a wholly original work in the form of BAKERU, a sort of spiritual successor to Mystical Ninja Goemon. With rhythm and whimsy on full display, just what does it bring […]
