IT’S OFF TO WORK WE GO! Growing up, there was always a franchise that remained predominant in my life – The Legend of Zelda. I adored its setting, the charm in all its entries, and most importantly, the combat. So once Undermine came to my attention, my interest was piqued. Initially released on PC as an early access title, the […]
WELCOME TO LITTLEWOOD! (Intro) There’s something truly captivating about the slice-of-life genre. In fact, harvesting crops or cultivating relationships is strangely relaxing to me. Furthermore, as I get older, my reflexes start to falter. So, I appreciate the slower pace these titles have. Littlewood is just the latest entry into the life simulator genre but […]

When I first heard of Woodsalt, I was immediately hooked. A psychological adventure game in the style of a 90’s JRPG? Sign me up. I am a 90’s kid after all, and anything that panders to my aging sense of nostalgia is fine by me. Let’s face it, that decade was a groundbreaking sequence of […]

July – the month a little gem called CrossCode came to Nintendo Switch. An action RPG with strong influence from Secret of Mana. So, I’ll put my cards on the table here. Truth is, I’ve had this review code for some time, but it was continuously delayed. And now that we’re halfway through December, it seems redundant to cover […]
The year was 2015, and a little game known as Bloodborne was unleashed. Now, I was never much for the Dark Souls franchise myself. The punishing gameplay was enough to frighten me off. Something was enchanting about that release though. It was utterly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. So, I dove in headfirst and got immensely frustrated. I’ve never wanted […]
I’ve always been a fan of the Roguelike genre. Games like Dead Cells still maintain a high amount of accumulated hours played on my Nintendo Switch. These titles are inherently repetitive, but they still maintain a semblance of progression. It wasn’t until last year that I’d dive into the Mystery Dungeon sub-genre and found that I loved it. So when I saw the Nintendo Direct that […]

Videogames can make you think about a lot of things. In this case, they make us wonder how the Aviation Law adapted to children floating around in the sky as a normal occurrence. Welcome to Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue, a visual novel developed and published by Sprite, brought to the west with the […]
