Sunblaze is a very difficult Celeste-inspired 2D platformer, developed by Games from Earth and published by Bonus Stage Publishing. Frickin’ Hard When I say Sunblaze is hard, I mean it. If you’re not a very patient and reasonable person, you might want to rent a mental asylum room in order to play this game. The soft cushioned […]
Horror games just aren’t that scary. At least that’s my experience. I know a lot of people love to play these to give themselves nightmares, but not me. So why is this horror-skeptic playing The Persistence? It all started at a game expo called EGX. I donned a VR headset and fell in love with […]
Calling all living and non-living individuals. Welcome to Gloom and Doom – a homage to 90’s slacker movies. Not exactly what most expect of a visual novel! FIRST IMPRESSIONS! As far as visual novels go, it’s eye-catching to see one that strays from the anime aesthetic. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining about that […]
One of the biggest takeaways I had after playing CAPCOM’s Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is its iconic phrase — Igiari (Objection)! Well, maybe not the phrase per se but the idea of being firm and raising objections to things that are simply nonsensical. I thought I would never find a game that is centered around this […]

I remember playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning way back in 2012 and leaving thoroughly unimpressed. Mind you, I didn’t invest much time into the game and basically wrote it off as a bit pants after an embarrassingly short playtime. Nine years later I have re-entered the re-world of Re-Reckoning and I have to say, after […]
Atlus publishes some amazing games. The one that most people these days will know is the Persona series. But would it surprise you to know that the whole Persona series is a spin-off? Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is a modern release of one of those mainline titles. With the huge success of […]
Battle Axe is an unfortunate title that is plagued by a general feeling of disappointment. Helmed by the venerable Henk Neiborg (of Shantae fame), it aimed to invoke old school classics like Zombies Ate My Neighbours and Golden Axe. Needless to say, all things pointed to a promising nostalgic throwback. It’s a shame then that a distinct lack of content, […]

Smee, who also developed well-received visual novels Fureraba and Making*Lovers, are known for their lighthearted comedy and sweet romance.
