If there's one thing you can rely on with Chinese publisher/developer HoYoverse, it's taking cherished ideas and putting a free-to-play spin to it that works. Genshin Impact is what happens when you take a new open-world Zelda ideology and turn it into a long-lasting F2P gacha title. Honkai Star Rail is taking turn-based Japanese role-playing games...
The newest entry into the niche but beloved retro-fantasy FPS genre, developed by Emberheart Games and published by Apogee Entertainment, Wizordum, is a glorious throwback to the era of classic first-person shooters. Drawing inspiration from revered titles such as Heretic and Catacomb Abyss, this game proudly stands as a reminiscent ode to the gold...
When Vampire Survivors was released, I was obsessed. There's something about "Bullet Heaven" games that makes you want to keep playing. Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot is another one of these rogue-lite games with their unique style. What makes it unique is that it adds deck-building to the gameplay. The entire aesthetic of the game makes me squeal w...
With the release of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Open Beta, players like myself were left pondering whether the 2023 instalment of this iconic franchise was worth the investment. A significant factor in this evaluation was the looming shadow of XDefiant, a game many have touted as the "Call of Duty killer." The delay of XDefiant for the seco...
Netflix's first-ever Drop livestream not only announced and showed a sneak peek of a couple of new animated shows -Pluto anime adaptation, Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider- but also the first few Castlevania: Nocturne anime series.

In the late 90s, two JRPG makers split up to make their own version of an action RPG -Wolfteam and Tri-Ace- after making the hit Bandai Namco RPG Tales of Phantasia. As a result, the latter company Tri-Ace turned to sci-fi as a trope to launch its take on the genre: the Star Ocean series. The second game basically made them a JRPG household name fo...
Ever wanted to have a woman by your side while piloting a mecha, instead of a disembodied voice like in most anime-inspired mecha games? Well, Bandai Namco is taking it one step further with Synduality: Echo of Ada, with a demo out during Tokyo Game Show 2023 last weekend. In this new action game, you will be piloting a mecha and extracting reso...
If you're hoping for the zaniness of a Yakuza game to still stay intact since Yakuza: Like A Dragon (Yakuza 7), then you're in luck. The location of the latest Like A Dragon game -Like A Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth- has changed, from the streets of Kamurocho to the game's version of Hawaii- but the elaborate sidequests, side story, and turn-based ove...
Nintendo's Splatoon series is a clever way to make shooters accessible to everyone: instead of relying so much on killshots and frags, why not create a team objective focused on marking the most territory before time runs out? With such an ingenious premise, it's surprising to not see as many clones of the concept out there. I'm bringing this up...
Capcom just released new gameplay of its upcoming 2024 RPG Dragon's Dogma 2, the follow-up to the fan-favourite first game featuring AI party members called Pawns, giant monsters you can climb on, and titular dragons wrecking your day in the fantasy land of Gransys. There's a lot being showcased and promised here, from special class skills to tw...
After witnessing the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer 6 days ago, it's only natural that the press and visitors of Tokyo Game Show 2023 will get a chance to see how much has changed and improved in the Japanese role-playing game remake of a beloved series entry. Here is what's new about the sequel, and why next February is going to be a long wa...
Suikoden fans have it rough, what with the flagship role-playing game series all but forgotten by its creator Konami. Hence we see a company named Rabbit & Bear Studios, consisting of ex-Suikoden makers, striking out on their own via Kickstarter to get a new Suikoden-eque RPG project going. It's been 3 years already, and has there been progr...
Atlus can't seem to contain many of its Persona 3 Reload secrets and features, so the company picked the best time to show off more information: during Tokyo Game Show 2023 week. A recent Atlus media presentation (which may be broadcast later on 21st September Thursday GMT+8), showcased a Tartarus dungeon run with the main protagonist (default...
Roguelite games have gained immense popularity in the gaming industry, and it's not hard to see why. These games are designed in a way that keeps players engaged and coming back for more. A well-crafted roguelite game introduces a core gameplay loop that becomes addictive, making players want to continue playing. Additionally, these games are fille...
The Forza Motorsports games have been Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios' go-to sim racing game alternative to the likes of Gran Turismo. Admittedly, the mothership games have taken a six-year break and let its more "free-roaming" exploration-heavy cousin Forza Horizon take the wheel. Now, it's making the mother of all comebacks after quite a hiatu...
Platforms: PC Genre: Strategy, RTS, Turn-Based, 4X Total War Pharaoh is the franchise's return to its historical roots for the first time perhaps since well, 2015's Total War Attila. Sure, Total War Three Kingdoms and A Total War Saga Troy were both historical but they had fantasy elements as well, inspired by the popular Total War Warhammer ti...
NetherRealm Studios' next Mortal Kombat game has quite a confusing title which may make sense in its upcoming story mode's climax. But as a 2D fighting game adding more to an already-solid base that is Mortal Kombat 11? It's shaping up to be pure gold bathed in blood. Long story short: 2D fighting game with a block button, but now with additions...
"It's the same as last year's game" is something one would normally hear when people comment on EA Sports' latest football game. Another oft-used quote would be "It's just a roster update", alluding that very little change has been made to EA Sports' legacy franchise which received a rebrand following the dissolution of their long-standing with the...

How does it perform as a daily driver? How does it hold up to its predecessors and...
It's not every day you get to see two sides of the same coin back-to-back. In this instance, I'm referring to a recent Milestone/Plaion game hands-on event where we got to play two racing games, each clearly catered towards two different markets. Let's start with the one I enjoyed the most. Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged Hot Wheels U...
