Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake – Review
Dragon Quest is certainly no stranger to remakes. Dragon Quest III was and still remains an important cornerstone of the turn-based RPG genre, leaving a legacy that could be called ubiquitous to what came after it. Its original release on the Famicom wasn’t where its story ended, however, as it has since gone on to […]
Mario & Luigi: Brothership – Review
Upon completing the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, I wrote that I hoped it and the Super Mario RPG remake would find enough success to send the message to Nintendo that there is still a place for bona-fide RPGs starring Mario.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is the latest entry in the Sword Art Online game series.

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 […]
