Outward (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Coming into this review, I knew Outward: Definitive Edition is fun and challenging for even veteran RPG players. I knew I’d enjoy the concept and level of detail that went into the game, having played a little bit of it through Steam. Outward: Definitive Edition was released on Nintendo Switch

Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Super Mario RPG The Legend of the Seven Stars was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996. A whopping 27 years later, the beloved turn-based classic returns exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, with the much more succinct title, Super Mario RPG. This isn’t a straight-up re-release though, it’s

Trinity Trigger (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Remember way back in the day, chilling out after school and indulging in a lovely little action-JRPG? There was an indescribable feeling of wonderment during the first playthrough and a desire to experience them for the first time over and over again. The devs at Three Rings, working alongside publisher,

Octopath Traveler 2 is now available after a smashing success back in 2018 when Octopath Traveler first came out, and Square Enix has done it yet again with the sequel. It is available on Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4 and 5, but sadly, Xbox fans will be missing out this

ATONE: Heart Of The Elder Tree – Review

Mythology & folklore, times of magical beasts, and Gods among men. Dark times and unknown forces are tainting the villages around Midgard. The Nordic Gods no longer wander the Midgard Plains. With no Gods left or Odin’s guardians remaining in Midgard, the protection of the Elder Tree has dissipated. It

HEROish (Nintendo Switch) – Review

When I first started playing HEROish, I immediately thought ‘this is a single-player MOBA game’, but it is much more than that. HEROish also has aspects of tower defense and deckbuilding. This is the debut title for developers and publishers Sunblink and it’s a great game to debut with. Starting

Harvestella (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Eat up to beat up is the essence of the new Nintendo Switch title, Harvestella, from veteran JRPG publisher, Square Enix. The fusion of action RPG and the farm sim trend seems like a promising concept, but there’s definitely room to grow, as was my experience with Harvestella. Your character

Broken Pieces follows the story of Elise, a woman trapped in a sort of Groundhog Day, however, everyone else has vanished, including her music-creating partner, Pierre.

Valkyrie Elysium (Playstation 5) – Review

Valkyrie Elysium is the fifth installment of the Valkyrie series published by Square Enix, but this time developed by Soleil, who brought us Ninjala and Samurai Jack: Battle Through time. With a new developer, Valkyrie Elysium plays a bit differently from its predecessors, playing as more of a hack-and-slash. The

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – Review

If ever a games developer had a name to describe their games so thoroughly, Monolith Soft has this in spades with its latest monolith of a game. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, announced at the start of 2022, has dropped just a few short months later, and it is arguably the most

Live A Live – Review

I would bet that every gamer has at least one blind spot in terms of influential games that they have either missed or just never got around to playing. Maybe, it’s several games you missed, multiple protagonists that you never got a chance to connect with. In the case of
