Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is another notch in Capcom’s long-running creature-hunting and capturing series, but instead of the mainline Action-RPG style gameplay, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection takes the JRPG route.

‘God of War Sons of Sparta’ is a prequel story of one of gaming’s gruffest, most badass figures, but not quite the origin story I expected. Mad Cat Studios takes Santa Monica Studios’ long-running ‘God of War’ series back to Kratos’ time as a trainee Spartan. It’s quite a departure
The Yakuza/Like a Dragon series has been one of SEGA’s premier franchises since 2005, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, but didn’t truly find its footing in the west until 2015 with the release of the prequel game, Yakuza 0.

In 2019, after years of publishing the Dark Souls series, Bandai Namco Entertainment released Code Vein, their own take on a soulslike, which I personally enjoyed.
