Grimoire Groves (PC) Preview

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 16:00:23 +0000

I think it has been pretty well established by the number of reviews I’ve done on Rogue-likes that I’m a big fan of the genre. However, any chance I get to cross my love of Rogue-likes with my love of cozy games is like a match made in Gaming Heaven. So, when I got the chance to play the demo of Grimoire Groves ahead of its release (and the Steam Next Fest) I jumped at the chance.

Darwin’s Paradox Announced at State of Play

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 14:00:53 +0000

Normally, I would cover a Sony State of Play in its entirety. However, last week was a bit hectic, and I wasn’t able to. One announcement from the show caught my eye though, especially related to other news that circled after it. Konami’s latest published game has not only gained attention at the State of Play but has also had a real-world impact. Darwin’s Paradox, developed by ZDT Studio and…

Split Fiction Developer Releases New Trailer

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 14:00:38 +0000

Admittedly, It Takes Two wasn’t my sort of game. The story didn’t really resonate with me, though I did enjoy the gameplay quite a bit. Split Fiction, the next game in Hazelight Studios’ brand of Co-op experiences, seems to be more my style though. With Split Fiction releasing on March 6th, the developers at Hazelight released a new trailer, showcasing more about Split Fiction. In the trailer…

Ruffy and the Riverside Gets Demo

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:00:25 +0000

I’m always keeping an eye on games that I come across (or that are shown to me) that remind me of previous gaming eras and experiences. Games like Shovel Knight evoked the previous generation of gaming yet found their own success and glory. Now, it seems another challenger is stepping up, evoking the N64 era yet surpassing it in some ways. Developer Zockrates Laboratories has released its demo…

Planet Coaster 2 (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:00:03 +0000

Planet Coaster is one of the games I have played the most on the Xbox Series X. As a huge fan of sandbox-style simulation games and evidently a theme park nerd, this series is tailor-made for my niche interests. I also adored the RollerCoaster Tycoon games back in the day, so you can imagine how much joy I have in saying Planet Coaster 2 is here and bringing the series to new heights.

Wizard of Legend 2 Awakens Mystical Co-Op

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 14:00:41 +0000

I’m not usually a Multiplayer type of guy. Certain games catch my attention on a multiplayer scale but usually, I like to play alone. Wizard of Legend 2 however is something that I wouldn’t mind playing with a friend or two. Now, that is actually a possibility. Developer Dead Mage has announced that Wizard of Legend 2 officially has 2-4 player Co-Op. You can play in either Local or Online co-op…

Contraband Police Announces Crimson Fall DLC

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 14:00:09 +0000

Sometimes, media imitates life. Do most people want to talk about a game that involves border patrol during the times we live in? Not really. However, it isn’t Playway’s fault that the world is going to Hell in a handbasket. So, here we are. Playway has announced that Contraband Police will receive a new DLC called Crimson Fall. Crazy Rocks, the developers, are finally revealing the highly…

New Expansion Coming to Age of Mythology: Retold

Edward Harding — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:00:24 +0000

One of my favorite things to come out last year was the return of Age of Mythology. This series has always been one of my favorites and I’m glad to see Microsoft continuing to support the game post-launch. The Immortal Pillars expansion will add the Chinese pantheon to the playable roster of civilizations. This culture was the last to come to the original game and I’m happy to see it returning…

Fairy Tail 2 (PlayStation 5) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 16:00:39 +0000

Game adaptations for anime are sometimes hit or miss for me. Depending on the anime, I feel like certain adaptations are just overdone. Dragon Ball Z does well, as does One Piece, but a lot are half-baked attempts to capture the source material. In 2024, Fairy Tail had a big year with both Fairy Tail Dungeons and Fairy Tail 2. Fairy Tail 2 is an RPG developed by Gust and published by Koei Tecmo.
