Mato Anomalies (Switch) Review
When you’ve played as many RPGs as I have, you get pretty good at picking out games that stand out for one reason or another. It also gets easy to pick out the influences of some of the classic franchises as you…

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix (PS5) Review
Scantily-clad anime girls with tons of cutscenes that do battle with a deep combat system… where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, Hyperdimension Neptunia has been doing that for a decade. This time around, a new franchise enters the fray: Alice…
Trails to Azure (Switch) Review
Nihon Falcom’s flagship The Legend of Heroes franchise never fails to hit all the right marks for me. After reviewing The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero last year, I was excited to see that NIS America would be bringing Trails to…
Red Rising (Book) Review
Red Rising is a 2014 science fiction novel by Pierce Brown. It is the first entry within the Red Rising Saga which totals seven novels, though only five have been published currently. I admit the initial elevator pitch behind this series put…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “An Embarrassment of Dooplers” Review
No cold open? We must be into the decent half of Season 2, finally! I can stop pre-ambling about Picard, how lovely it is to see the echoes of the Dominion War, and that it is nice that Patrick wanted to act this…
Bayonetta 3 (Switch) Review
I have always been a fan of the Bayonetta franchise. In fact, I’d say that Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 count among some of the best Action games I’ve ever played. With Bayonetta 2 achieving something close to perfection in terms of game…
The Last of Us Season 1 (TV) – Review
For me, 2013’s The Last of Us did something special because of Ashley Johnson and some of the storytelling leading up to that ending. Played almost passively, you can/will look past the issues of character that is the end of Joel’s story, especially…
