So I decided to stop letting my preconceived notions about this game from before launch continue to keep me from playing it. I’ve been a fan of Pokemon ever since I chose Bulbasaur on Pokemon Blue back in the late 90s. I’ve played every generation since, and have always loved the charm of the series,

What is Persona 5 Strikers? Well, even though it was made in conjunction with Koei Tecmo, it is not a warriors game. This is a fully fledged entry in the Persona series. I wouldn’t even consider it a spin off. Taking place directly after the events of Persona 5 (not Royal, so no Kasumi here), we once again

Cosmic Star Heroine at heart is a love letter to the SNES era of JRPGs. The influences of Chrono Trigger are clearly seen in the beautiful art style and the framework of the battle system. Cosmic Star Heroine offers a quick RPG, some fresh mechanics, and a witty sense of humor. I’m excited to write about it

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

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

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

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 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

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

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
