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…

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…

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.

Taylor Bauer — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 16:00:46 +0000

Donkey Kong Country Returns was first released for the Nintendo Wii in 2010, three years before it would appear again on the 3DS utilizing the handheld console’s 3D technology. At the time, it was nice to have the game as a handheld experience. Sadly, the already underpowered Wii had trouble fully supporting the tougher areas of the game. The 3DS, processing the game into 3D on much less…

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana (Nintendo Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 18:00:44 +0000

For Western gamers in the 90s and 2000s whose JRPG exposure was limited to the likes of Final Fantasy or Pokemon, the Ys series is like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Not getting into the Ys games myself until around 2018, I’m constantly astonished at how these wonderfully crafted games flew under my radar for so long. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is the latest example of that.

As we return to normal life following the winter holidays, many of us make resolutions.

At this point, the number of accessories for the Nintendo Switch is impossible to count, but few stand out as stellar, fan-favorite options for boosting your gaming experience.

Dreamlight Valley 2024: The Upside of Live-Service

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:00:43 +0000

I am not a fan of most live-service games. Outside of Honkai Star Rail and one or two others, the concept gets exhausting after a while. I only have so much time to play games, and I would rather immerse myself in games that have powerful or enjoyable storylines and complete gameplay loops. However, as we get into the 2nd year of Disney Dreamlight Valley, I realize that there are certain ways to…

Inbento (PC) Review

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 14:00:13 +0000

Food is a large factor in how people come together. Family units, friend groups, so many people bond over food. Inbento is a logic-based, sliding-based puzzle game that melds the love of food with puzzles and a heartfelt narrative. Inbento is a puzzle game that is entirely based on the Japanese practice of making Bento boxes. For each “recipe,” you have a variety of pieces/ingredients…
