Nier: Automata kind of blew the doors wide open on the Nier series. Sure, back in the day I loved this little Drakengard spinoff that could. But it wasn't until Platinum Games and Yoko Taro came together that Nier really came into its own i...

Bravely Default II kind of came and went, but it's still on my mind. This little JRPG helped kick off 2021 and it is still a Switch exclusive after all, so it's hard to forget! And it got a bit of My Nintendo merch, as a little extra market...

I'm always itching to jump back into Pokemon Sword and Shield, even though I've pretty much exhausted everything I can do at this point. Whether it's messing around with expeditions or hopping into new Max Raid Battles, the call of get...

Well, it's taken a spell, but the Kingdom Hearts series, (or at least its mainline entries) are now available for purchase on PC. Square Enix released the holy trinity of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapt...

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is set to debut on May 25 on PC, PS4, and Switch. It's great, because these sorts of things can sometimes only hit one platform: and at that point, a wide variety of people (basically everyone) ca...

Mistwalker is a legendary name in some circles. They made Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey ages ago: full stop, that's all you need to say to some people. They completely changed how a lot of people perceived the Xbox 360 with that pair of RPGs...

Periodically, the powers that be share out Pokemon Sword and Shield codes and events in lieu of more expansion content. I mean, we could still get that! We had a season pass already and two expansions, but for now, players are relying ...

Bloodborne's sixth anniversary is the perfect time to check in on Lilith Walther and Corwyn Prichard's promising Bloodborne PS1 demake that's in ongoing development. The mood is just right. I don't know how I haven't brought this project t...

Even since Tales from Space: About a Blob, DrinkBox Studios was one to watch for me. But it was in 2013, when Guacamelee hit, that they kind of became a "must watch" developer. You know the feeling, like when Thatgamecom...

I'm in "cautiously keeping tabs" territory with Thymesia, an action-RPG from OverBorder Studio and publisher Team17 that lets you "seize the disease from gruesome bosses and wield them as weapons." The combat is speedier and more offense-...

It's still hard to believe that Final Fantasy VII Remake has an upgrade...DLC...thing. It's...kind of weird to me! To see a modern re-release of an old Final Fantasy game get a story extension, but the series is known for DLC now;...

The day Zelda: Skyward Sword came out, I hooked up my shiny new golden MotionPlus controller and...had some mechanical issues. Then I tried my two other MotionPlus-adapter-ready Wiimotes, and...had more issues. Namely, deadzoning ...

[Update: Confirmed! Microsoft announced it this morning. It will be added to the service on April 1 for consoles and android phones/tablets.] Seeing big newer and newish games hit Xbox Game Pass is pretty exciting. For a lot of folks, it's ...

Content Warning: This game, and thus the review, contains depictions and descriptions of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Having been Kickstarted in 2014, Omori seems to have gone under many people's radar, myself included. While at a...

Last year, one of Path of Exile's three-month-long leagues was titled Harvest, allowing players to grow gardens of seeds to spawn monsters and ultimately use "deterministic crafting" on their items. This meant that if players had some sweet...

You know that Jack Nicholson nodding gif? That's how I feel whenever I hear the phrase Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. I mean, I love playing PSO 2 on the Xbox One. I've been waiting for it for years! But there's something special...

Devolver Digital and Four Quarters have quite the roguelike strategy hit on their hands with Loop Hero, a game that's hard to fully "get" until you've looked at the clock and realized you just lost several hours in an instant. Plenty &ndash...

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot launched at the beginning of 2020, and it's been steadily getting a few major updates here and there. It even got a new card game mode! But now things are winding down a bit with what is seemingly the last DLC, which ...

So Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade instantly shot up on my 2021 radar. Yeah, some parts of it are a bummer, like the PS5-specific requirement. And not everyone has one of those! Seeing as they're basically unicorn pieces of hardwar...
