Open-world games have become overwhelmingly prevalent in the AAA gaming sphere. Whether you enjoy sci-fi and play games like Starfield or choose fantasy settings with games like Avowed, open-world games have saturated the once-creative and revolutionary genre. Compulsion Games, the developers behind indie darlings We Happy Few and Contrast, have chosen a different path with […]

Whether or not you’re a fan of Assassin’s Creed, there’s no denying its impact. What started as a Prince of Persia spin-off slowly grew into its series. It focused on the conflict between the Knights Templar and a mysterious order of Assassins working to stop them from world domination. It’s silly on paper, but it […]
Pillars of Eternity is one of the earliest Kickstarter success stories. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind cult classics such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout: New Vegas, and Alpha Protocol, PoE was a throwback to genre darlings like Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale. Despite a great reception by critics […]
The Tales series is one of Bandai Namco’s longest-running JRPG series. And yet in recent years, it hasn’t received major new titles despite the series’ popularity. Tales of Arise, the series’ latest entry, received a DLC called Beyond the Dawn in late 2023—and that was it. With the series’ 30th anniversary arriving, fans were hoping […]
Dragon Age The Veilguard is a difficult game to review in isolation. That’s because it doesn’t exist in isolation. As part of the Dragon Age series, known for its immersive world, branching stories, and rich lore, Dragon Age The Veilguard has much to live up to. Following the release of Dragon Age The Inquisition in […]
The release of Alan Wake 2 remains an anomaly in the modern gaming industry. It’s a sequel to a single-player horror game released in 2010 and contains no microtransactions, battle passes, or excessive monetisation mechanisms. It’s a tight, focused experience on a mission to please old fans and bring new ones to Remedy Entertainment and […]
ATLUS is one of the most prolific and well-known JRPG studios. With series like Shin Megami Tensei and its spin-off, Persona, ATLUS has solidified itself as the king of turn-based JRPGs. However, for a long time, ATLUS relied on ‘old glory’ to carry it forward. Multiple games in the same series, followed by spin-offs, re-releases, […]
Team Silent’s work on the first four Silent Hill games is nothing short of legendary. What was designed to be KONAMI’s response to the Resident Evil series quickly established itself as something more. Silent Hill’s focus was always on its protagonists’ psychological trauma and overcoming insurmountable grief and pain. Once Team Silent disbanded, KONAMI licensed […]
There has never been a time without Star Wars games. But, either due to technical limitations or creative decisions, very few have attempted to create a truly open world. The recently released Star Wars Jedi: Survivor featured a Metroidvania structure. The cult-classic Knights of the Old Republic games opted for a semi-open world. Star Wars […]
Overwatch, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, Valve’s Deadlock…and Concord. Firewalk Studios debut project is a 5v5 hero shooter, an (almost) fully priced game in a genre dominated by F2P titles. Despite its pedigree of being published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, the game failed to garner attention. Its first trailer promised a story-driven game with quirky […]
The Legend of Heroes series is undoubtedly Nihon Falcom’s magnum opus. As a JRPG series that started in 1989, it has since evolved into an interconnected universe of games. This has made it both unique and overwhelming for the fans of the genre. How do you justify devoting hundreds of hours to a series, especially […]
