It’s time to make use of their Sosetsuken fighting abilities and remind players why the Lee boys were the original walk-and-brawl boys. Back to the Beginning Double Dragon Revive […]
Alongside Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Sonic Rumble is another 2025 release featuring the blue hedgehog stepping into the world of more multiplayer-focused genres. The main modes of the game are battle-royale-esque elimination contests and minigames. As a free to play game, I thought I’d give it a try to see if this title is worth your […]
Harmonic Reflections, the latest visual novel from Laplacian, first released in English back in July, albeit with significant controversy.

It puts a new spin on Pokemon gameplay, particularly shaking up battles and differentiating it from both the mainline series and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. An Evolving City Five years on from the events of Pokémon X/Y, Lumiose City is undergoing […]
Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel are games that hardly need any introduction. Both released back on the Wii and were immediately hailed as some of the greatest games ever made thanks to a combination of inventive platforming, excellent presentation, and tasteful motion control implementation. While the series has since moved on from those games, […]
Hollow Knight had quite a humble genesis, but steadily it grew into quite a tour de force among indie games. The long-teased expansion-turned-sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong raised an inordinate amount of hype during its prolonged development cycle, with Team Cherry relatively mum on developments until suddenly announcing a release date in 2025.
