Review: A Knight’s Quest
When it comes to games, I think it’s easiest for us to describe a game by comparing it to another game or series. It’s easier to do than explaining the premise or mechanics; it provides a useful shorthand that allows someone to picture what the game is like or get the gist. However, comparing games […]
Review: Control
Remedy Entertainment is one of those studios that kind of found its comfort zone. Their games, while wildly varied in themes and aesthetic, do follow a pattern of sorts. They mainly do third-person shooters that are story-driven and character-focused. The main characters usually narrate in grim voice-overs, and they often have dark pasts and demons […]
Review: Darksiders III
You know, there are tons of games in which you try and survive in the apocalypse. Usually, you’re just an everyday person caught up in a bad situation trying to survive the end times. But in a few games, you get to play as the people who are actually behind the end times; I’m speaking […]
Review: Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is a videogame based on the classic manga series of the same, developed by the Yakuza team at SEGA. The 27-volume manga has been adapted into multiple TV anime, novels, and even a live-action movie that I don’t like to talk about, but SEGA has made the wise […]
Review: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
When it comes to Ubisoft, I have a sort of admiration for a key franchise of theirs: Assassin’s Creed. After seeing the game evolve from a simple adventure game to dabbling around with multiple new game mechanics and settings, last year’s Assassin’s Creed Origin marked one hell of a change for the series. Ditching the […]
Review: Yakuza Kiwami 2
Ah, Yakuza. I find it surprising that there are so many Yakuza games out and the lore has gotten super elaborate, and yet there are still tons of people who haven’t played a Yakuza title. One of the most underrated series in gaming, the Yakuza franchise began in 2005 with the now-classic PS2 title Yakuza […]
Review: Assault Spy
The title ‘Assault Spy’ feels a bit paradoxical, as ‘Assault’ and ‘Spy’ are two totally different actions with different results. But here we are with Assault Spy, an action hack and slash game from developer Wazen. As the title indicates, the game is actually fairly comical. You are in fact a spy (corporate spy to […]
Review: God of War
Whether it is the movies, books or games, the task to reboot an established franchise is never an easy thing for any developer or publisher. With some much expectations from the series’ fans, on top of making sure they are not forgotten while trying something new, the new God of War was definitely a gamble. […]
Review: Warhammer: Vermintide 2
Warhammer occupies a special place in the nerd world. The strange, often unpleasant world of Warhammer started off with tabletop, but it would branch out into the game’s world before long, spawning a number of strategy titles that brought the tabletop universe to the screen. After long enough, there were also spinoffs in the form […]
Review: Penny-Punching Princess
When you hear about Nippon Ichi Software, you probably picture the Disgaea franchise. With more than 25 years in the business, the studio has been doing games as early as the rest of the big Japanese companies, Today the studio offers an unusual game known as Penny-Punching Princess, with the similar visual style of the […]
