Atelier Marie Remake (Switch) Review

I’ve been a fan of the Atelier series for well over a decade, probably closer to 15 years or more. My mom and I played the Atelier Iris games on PlayStation 2, which marked the beginning of the Western releases of the…

Double Dragon Gaiden (PC) Review

Double Dragon Gaiden Rise of the Dragons is the latest entry in the beat ’em up series which first debuted in 1987 on arcade systems. This title was developed by Secret Base and Modus Games is available on all platforms. This review…

The Repair House (PC) Review

If you swap out all the parts of a ship (or broom) over time, is it still the same object after decades of maintenance? Say you had a broom which is just two parts (the handle and head) and you replaced the…

Trails Into Reverie (Switch) Review

The Trails franchise has always felt most comparable to a long-running fantasy epic. Each subseries tackles an overarching story in one of Zemuria’s countries, with a cast of characters that sometimes crosses into other tales. It feels like a living, breathing fantasy…

SNW “Memento Mori” Review

See Picard, this is how to do titles. Call your episodes something but translate it to Latin, use a line from a poem, or as we’ll see next time use a bit of wordplay. Directed by Dan Liu, best known for some Walking…

Planet of Lana (PC) Review

Stunning from the word go, Planet of Lana is something I’ve been at least mildly excited about since I saw it during the extravaganza of beige that was E3 2021. This hand-painted, beautiful platformer is Limbo/Inside if they knew what RGB stood for.…

Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) Review

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy games since I was a kid. I’m no stranger to the franchise, even some of the ones with… questionable quality. With that in mind, I was very curious to see how Final Fantasy XVI fared after the…

Exoprimal (Xbox Series X) Review

Capcom spent the last decade redefining itself as an underrated publisher and developer. The influence is palpable. We literally have a Pokemon game that mimics the gameplay loop of Monster Hunter. For 2023, Capcom’s releases of Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6 set the stage…

SNW “Ghosts of Illyria” – Review

Though I enjoyed “Children of the Comet,” it wasn’t my favorite. However, Akela Cooper & Bill Wolkoff’s “Ghosts of Illyria,” directed by Leslie Hope, is one of the worst episodes. Probably best known as Teri Bauer of 24 or Kira Meru of DS9, Hope’s…
