Metaphor: ReFantazio – Review
Expectations were high for Metaphor: ReFantazio, even before release. It was developed by Atlus’s Studio Zero, with prominent staff who have worked on the Persona series behind it. It’s no surprise that people would have high hopes, despite it being a new IP. It’s time to find out if the game lived up to them. […]

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble – Review
Super Monkey Ball is Sega’s premiere franchise involving monkeys rolling all around the place.

Persona 5 Tactica – Review
Persona 5 Tactica was an unexpected game, at least for me. I suspected the Phantom Thieves would return once again after Persona 5 Strikers, but a tactics RPG in the vein of Valkyria Chronicles or XCOM wouldn’t have been my first guess. It’s not a bad idea though, and I was as excited going into […]

Sonic Superstars – Review
The announcement of Sonic Superstars came as a big shock to everyone. With Sonic Origins Plus and a suite of free DLC for last year’s Sonic Frontiers, many assumed that this year would not feature a brand new game for the blue rodent. Lo and behold, there was a new game, and one styled after […]
Sonic Origins Plus – Review | The DLC
This time last year, Sonic Origins was released as a celebration of the titular hedgehog’s 31st birthday. Although imperfect in some ways, I still thought it was the best official way to play all of the Genesis classics. Exactly one year later, Sega has seen fit to follow up on that with a refresh. Sonic Origins Plus […]
