Another great DLC. Kakarot was one of my favorite games last year, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this DLC to drop. This is brand new content to the DBZ universe. In the anime the events are touched on, but here…. here you get to experience it firsthand! As a huge Dragon Ball Z fan it’s another

Wow. Just… wow. What a crazy fun experience this was. First, the gameplay. It’s been a while since I finished the base game, but the battle system came back like riding a bike. There was also some added mechanics. “Synergize” was a new gimmick that allowed Yuffie and the new guest/partial playable character Sonon to

On my latest trek through the Dragon Quest library, I made my way through VII. I opted for the 3DS remake for the updated graphics and dual screen goodness. Dragon Quest VII, I’ll admit, has been one of my least favorite entries in the series. It suffers from hollow story telling, and a gameplay loop that gets

I have never played a “souls-like” game before. With that said I immediately started a play through on the hardest difficulty. Why? I hate myself obviously. The good:Gameplay is pretty good. You get punished for being sloppy even by freaking goblins. Combat was fun and addicting and when I died I wasn’t mad, but more

The latest entry into the indie turn based strategy series Mercenaries brings some quality of life improvements that bring the franchise closer to greatness, but still falls short in execution. The biggest upgrade from the previous entries is the introduction of fully rendered 3D maps. This means you can spin the view around to get a

Sometimes a game just doesn’t jive with you. It’s sad when it happens but you have to accept it. 3 Dead Cells is a metrodvania rogue-like with fast paced action combat and beautiful pixel art graphics. While I completely loved the combat, and enjoyed the difficulty curve, Dead Cells felt like it was missing something for

SaGa Frontier initially released as the series first entry in 3D in 1997. Just shy of 24 years later it gets a remaster that really helps it find a new audience. Initially a very niche game with a small cult following, this remaster follows on the heals of previous SaGa releases of classic games getting released

This is game nine in a continuous story viewed from multiple angles, spanning almost two decades of releases. Cold Steel IV is the conclusion of the third story arc, and brings the previous two to a final close as well. I felt fine right up until the final credits rolled and I turned off my Switch.

Where to start with this one? I’ve never played a Yakuza game before, but when I saw they were coming out with a JRPG it piqued my interest. I played Like a Dragon on my Playstation 5 and it does just about everything right. This game has easily proven that you don’t need fantasy and a final boss

Let’s take a journey back. Back before Adol Christin was born. Way back. Like… centuries. This is when Ys Origin takes place. Built on the same engine as Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and Ys: The Oath in Felghana this game runs extremely smooth and handles very well. Controls are tight and responsive, and you always feel that
