Arietta of Spirits (Switch) Review

I found out about Arietta of Spirits during E3 and was immediately intrigued. A Zelda-like RPG that involves bridging the gap between the human world and the spirit world just seemed really interesting. Arietta of Spirits provides an interesting, engaging experience. However,…

Road 96 (PC) Review

From the second I saw the first trailer for Road 96, I was intrigued. The idea of a procedurally generated approach to a narrative was immediately something I had to see for myself. Road 96 is almost like an interactive film but…
