Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution (PC) Review

I’m very fond of the Shantae series. Wayforward’s Genie-themed Metroidvania franchise is a hidden gem that often gets mocked because of its scantily clad heroine or the occasional large-breasted boss enemy. Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution is the latest entry, yet Wayforward has…

Curse Rounds gets Console Release Date

Surprising no one, I play a lot of Rogue-likes. Everything from Bullet Heavens to Deck Builders find a place on my Steam library. Qubyte Interactive’s Curse Rounds caught my attention, trying something a little different than most others of its kind. In…

Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

The Like a Dragon franchise spans so many games at this point that it’s hard to suggest a place to start for new players. My preferred starting point, which is shared by many others online, seems to be Yakuza 0. The 2017 game is…
