Prinny Presents: NIS Classics Volume 1 (Switch) Review

NIS America has made a name for itself over the years with franchises like Disgaea. However, many people haven’t played some of the classic games from the PlayStation 2 era that came before. In fact, one of the games in NIS Classics…

World’s End Club (Switch) Review

Full disclosure here: I know very little about the Zero Escape series beyond the fact that they are Narrative games with branching paths. I’ve had friends tell me for years that I should play them, but they’ve just somewhat made their way…

The Silver Case 2425 (Switch) Review

Suda51, the personality behind the development studio Grasshopper Manufacture, made his game writing debut with The Silver Case in 1999 in Japan. Now, Goichi Suda (Suda51) is known for franchises such as No More Heroes and the Killer7 games. The Silver Case…

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny (Switch) Review

The Disgaea franchise is one of my favorite RPG franchises of all time. That is mostly due to the fact that it is completely silly, ridiculous, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Disgaea 6 takes the best parts of Disgaea and turns…

Poison Control (Switch) Review

There are a lot of things in Poison Control that feel familiar. The turf war elements remind me of Splatoon. The third-person Action-RPG elements feel like a number of AAA games. The clean-up aspect even has hints of Super Mario Sunshine. All these details…

Anyone that’s been paying attention to Phenixx Gaming is well aware that we’re no strangers to Nihon Falcom or the Legend of Heroes franchise. We’re big fans of the Trails of Cold Steel games in the Legend of Heroes series as well.…

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox (PS4) Review

I have played the Ys series for quite some time now. I’ve played some of the original releases, some remakes, some ports, and everything in between. As a result of this experience, I can tell you that by far, Ys IX: Monstrum…

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV (PS4) Review

As I mentioned last week in my Ys Origin review, I’m a huge fan of Nihon Falcom’s properties. The Legend of Heroes franchise happens to have the best world-building (long-term) of any RPG franchise I’ve ever seen, and it rarely gets enough…

Giraffe And Annika (PS4) – Review

Sometimes a game isn’t always aimed directly at you, though nonetheless, you enjoy it. I’m specifically talking about games aimed at kids, the likes of your Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and if we’re going for dark kids games, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and 40 Winks. Those were the…
