On the PlayStation 1, a Final Fantasy game came out that was totally different from what we’d seen before. Final Fantasy Tactics took a turn-based strategy rpg approach and became a true classic. And this year, that game returns with The Ivalice Chronicles. Back in the PlayStation 1 days, I played a game called Final Fantasy 7. Thats the game that hooked me on rpgs. After that, I had to play every rpg and especially every Final Fantasy I could…

Donkey Kong 64 was one of my favorite games of all time, and unsurprisingly I think my love for 3D Donkey Kong made me somewhat loathe 2D Donkey Kong games. It could be that I was terrible at them, but it also meant that each time a 2D Donkey Kong was released, I knew another 3D entry was even further in the future. Ideally, Nintendo would have remastered Donkey Kong 64 a few years ago or released it on Switch…

When Death Stranding first launched in 2019, it was one of the most polarizing games of its generation. Some called it a walking simulator. Others saw it as a bold re-imagining of what games could be. But love it or hate it, Hideo Kojima’s vision was impossible to ignore. Now, nearly six years later, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach arrives not just as a sequel, but as a statement—a deeply personal, often surreal, and surprisingly emotional meditation on grief,…

I love simulation games. I also happen to love Lord of the Rings. So to say I’m excited for the upcoming Tales of the Shire simulation game is an understatement! Let’s talk about this game. On July 29th, we’ll get to live in the Shire as a Hobbit. Well, if you get Tales of the Shire for the Nintendo Switch (or other systems) that is. Yes, Tales of the Shire is a simulation game where you play as Hobbit. You…

In a gaming landscape dominated by high-octane action and sprawling open worlds, One Step After Fall dares to slow things down. It’s a quiet, introspective walking simulator that trades combat and puzzles for emotional storytelling and minimalist design. But does this subdued approach deliver a meaningful experience—or does it stumble under the weight of its own ambition? At the heart of One Step After Fall is Steve Robinson, a once-successful writer now grappling with depression and personal loss. The game…

“Alchemists” is a cooperative horror game that combines elemental magic with ghost-hunting mechanics. Up to four players take on the roles of modern-day alchemists, using the classical elements—air, fire, water, and earth—to perform rituals and cleanse haunted locations. The concept is intriguing, and the game’s eerie environments initially promise a chilling, team-based adventure. Unfortunately, while the premise is strong, the execution leaves much to be desired.  At its core, “Alchemists” revolves around a ritual-based gameplay ...
