A few years ago gamers were given the gift of roguelike space combat sims; This was the original Everspace. While it did well, there were a few issues with the core of the game. Rockfish Games have decided to give it another crack, and like the big bang itself along comes EverSpace 2. It’s still […]

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 – Review | Chinese Myth
Not all games are made in the west, and not all games make it overseas and into our grubby little western mitts. Xuan Yuan Sword, a Chinese action RPG, falls into the category as the seventh entry in the series has only now made its console debut. Being the seventh entry in a long-running series […]
Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards – Review | A Latina’s Fury!
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 […]
Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning – Review
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 […]
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 […]
Journey of the Gods – VR Review
RPGs are underrepresented in the VR area, so I was happy to hear about Journey of the Gods. While there are a few great indie examples such as Vengeful Rites, seeing an RPG made for virtual reality by a studio with the budget for it is exciting. You are the chosen one who needs to save […]
Vaporum Lockdown – Review | Puzzles and Dungeons
There is a lighthouse, it always starts with a lighthouse…..sorry wrong game. The immersive story-focused Vaporum was released the other year to great reviews. It is now being followed up by a prequel, Vaporum Lockdown. Grab your snorkel son, we are going swimming. Vaporum Lockdown was developed by Fatbot Games. As mentioned it’s a prequel […]
Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town – Review
Our world has taken a curious new form – one that resembles a rather deformed waffle. A usually tasty snack that now makes you feel a tad uneasy as you navigate its uneven, slightly disturbing peaks and troughs. Getting through each day when the world is so bleak can be difficult. I find myself seeking […]
Eiyu*Senki Gold – A New Conquest – Review
Eiyu*Senki Gold – A New Conquest is an adult strategy game, where you conquer the world, meet female versions of famous historical and mythological figures and quite often sleep with them. Ever wanted to see Tutankhamun as a cute anime girl? How about burying your own Excalibur in King Arthur? This might be for you. […]
Kowloon High-School Chronicle – Review
Are you a fan of school-based visual novels? What about anime? Classic first-person dungeon crawlers? Indiana Jones? What if I told you there was a game that took all of those things, grabbed a steamroller made from an infinite number of smaller steamrollers, and mashed them together into one game? I suspect you would brandish […]
