Blue Reflection Quartet (Switch 2) Review

Blue Reflection Quartet is a collection of four games ripe with tropes in the larger Japanese entertainment media ecosystem.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Direct Recap

Since it was announced last year, I’ve been greatly excited about Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. Seemingly a prequel to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I’m eager to dive back into Sothis’ world and see what is coming to Fodlan. Now, Nintendo has revealed…
