Astro’s Playroom is probably the star of the PlayStation 5’s launch lineup despite being the pack-in game on the system. What amounts to a glorified tech demo of the PS 5’s DualSense controller and Adaptive Triggers, it manages to capture decades worth of nostalgia in a small unassuming package. This game is a love letter

Having missed out on the original release of this title in 2018, I was excited to see what this game offered, especially with the enhancements the remaster offered. The overall game feels like you’re actually playing a Marvel movie. The city is full of life, vibrant and a joy to explore and soak in. There

You will die….a lot. If you’re looking for a challenging and engaging title then look no further! This game is one of the hardest games you’ll find, and not because the game is unfair or because it’s difficulty unexpectedly spikes; no, no, no. This game is punishing from the get-go and if you make a

This is actually a prequel to the first two games, and a completion of the “Erdrick Trilogy.”It is by far the best of the three games. You have the main character, and then you have the flexibility to create the rest of your party. There is a tavern in the first town where you can

A very solid classic Ys game, as always. Good music. Fast paced action battles. Difficulty wasn’t as high as Felghana, but bosses still required a little observation and learning to beat. Only three gripes. There was a really weird mechanic you had to master to get some of the off the path items. It was

A prime example of how a game can age like a fine wine. This game does everything it sets out to do perfect. Even going back after playing modern Ys games, this game holds up. Addictive, catchy, and heart pumping music that gets you in the mood to hack, slash, jump and launch magic at

One of the most original games I’ve played. I’ve never felt so emotionally hit after only four hours of playing something. Definitely don’t skip on this short little indie title.You play as two doctors from a company who have created a technology that is basically Inception, and you help dying people grant a wish by

Disclosure: I have beat this game on the PSP like a decade ago. However I barely remember much outside some characters.This game is a remaster, of a remake, of a Japan only SFC game, Star Ocean. As far as I could tell there were no QOL updates to this, which is fine, but I would

This game has a ton of pros. Music, characters, environment, and boy is it got some difficulty spikes. Battles can turn south real quick because of a mechanic known as “1 more”, where if you or your opponent uses an attack against another that the other is weak against you get to act again. Enemy
