Project Triangle Strategy – Demo

Oh man. Believe me when I tell you how pumped I was when I saw this during the direct. Then it was announced that there was going to be a demo available right away. I pulled my Switch out of it’s dock and downloaded it as soon as the direct was over. At first I

Super Mario Sunshine

I’m going to come right out and say it. I thought this game was awful. As a huge fan of Mario (I’ve been playing the 2D games since the NES days), that hurts to say. Now before you start hurling obscenities in my direction, let me tell you why I think so.  The game opens

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of the Reverie

Capping off the Zenithian Trilogy is easily the best of the three, Dragon Quest VI. While gameplay wise it is a carbon copy of the other titles, which is to be expected in a Dragon Quest game, there are a few things that set this one apart. Let’s dive in! Dragon Quest VI is a prequel

Seiken Densetsu \ Mana

Welcome to another Tier List Tuesday! This week we’re going to tackle the Mana games. This series has had a lot of highs and lows. Let’s dive in, we’ll start from the bottom first! D Tier Avoid these games, they’re just trash and buggy. We have Dawn of Mana and the remake of Secret of Mana. Dawn of Mana

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Dragon Quest V is the second of the Zenithian Trilogy. Right of the bat this trilogy doesn’t feel as connected as DQI – III did. There aren’t as many parallels between IV and V comparatively. That doesn’t take away from the game though. So let’s dive in. Dragon Quest V obviously takes place many years after

Final Fantasy Games

Welcome to the first Tier List Tuesday! Today I will be tackling the mainline Final Fantasy games, and throwing in Tactics. I will not be reviewing the MMOs XI and XIV as I have not played them. Keep in mind these are purely personal opinions. I have beat every single one of these, so my opinions

Assassin’s Creed

Assassin’s Creed has seen increased popularity more recently since the release of Justin Kurzel’s Assassin’s Creed (2016) film and the new Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla (2020). The series is full of historical elements, so if you’re a history buff, this is something that will entertain you for many, many hours.  Of course, Ubisoft has incorporated versions

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen is the first game of the Zenithian Trilogy. Originally the last Dragon Quest game to arrive on the NES, it didn’t get very much attention due to being released at the tail-end of the NES lifecycle stateside. After receiving a PS1ground-up remake, it eventually made its way to

Shadows of Adam

Shadows of Adam is a pretty cool little retro indie RPG. A full play through took me about 15 hours because the Switch version comes with the DLC dungeons. After going through those and getting a ton of levels the actual endgame was easy peasy. The DLC dungeons were tough as nails though. Not like

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

You ever play a sequel and it’s a complete and total let down? Where they screwed up everything good about the first game, and they didn’t improve on anything? Yea, me too. Well good news! Ori and the Will of the Wisps is not that kind of sequel. This is one of the few successors that
