Soul Hackers 2 (PS5) Review

I’ve played a lot of RPGs from Atlus over the years. Recently, they have used the success of the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona franchises to start trying some new things narratively and mechanically. Soul Hackers 2 is a game that will…

Noel The Mortal Fate (PS5) Review

Sometimes the simplest of games can be the most compelling. I didn’t think much of Noel The Mortal Fate when an email about it came across my inbox, since it is an RPG Maker-styled game that was originally released in Japan as…

Sword and Fairy: Together Forever (PS5) Review

I’ve mentioned in several reviews lately such as my Bright Memory Infinite review, that I have been really delving into games from developers and teams from different cultures. While I didn’t have the best experience with Bright Memory: infinite, when I saw…

This review has taken me twice as long as it should have to prepare. I love vampires, and I have for a very long time. As such, I find the world of Vampire: The Masquerade to be endlessly fascinating. Vampire: The Masquerade…

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising (PS5) Review

2020’s most highly funded Kickstarter excited me greatly. It was for a game called Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. It is inspired by games like Suikoden from the PS1 and PS2 eras and brings back mechanics close to my heart. While Hundred Heroes…

Sniper Elite 5 (PS5) Review

The modern shooter has become something drastically different than when I started playing the genre with Halo in the early 2000s. With a hyper-focus on lax trigger-fingers and a need for peak reflexes, the pace in any first or third-person shooter is at…
