Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre:Â JRPG NEO The World Ends With You is a sequel to the classic 2007 Nintendo DS game, The World Ends WIth You. I never did play its predecessor, but the good thing is that you don't really need to in order to play this game. That's because, unlike Tetsuya Nomura's more popular JRPG franchise (co...
Platform(s): Xbox Series, PC, Xbox One Genre: Isometric action RPG with twin-stick shooter elements How does a sci-fi action RPG like The Ascent set itself apart with its twin-stick shooting gameplay? If you're developer Neon Giant and publisher Digital Curve, the answer is to just add a little extra that hasn't been seen before: making height &am...
Platform: PC Genre: 2D Soulsborne boss rush If you love Soulsborne/Soulslike games but rather just cut to the chase and fight the genre's tough-but-fair bosses in a 2D top-down fashion, Eldest Souls is going to be your 2021 indie jam. Despite its dubious title, the quality and design of this indie slaughterfest is anything but. Everything in th...

Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S Genre: Racing, Racing Simulator Codemasters churn out yet another instalment in its line of annual F1 racing simulator games. F1 2021 has arrived, but just like previous entries, this franchise is geared more towards hardcore fans of Formula One or racing simulators. Becoming The Next Schumach...
Minor spoilers in the review; we need to talk about the first episode's resolution. We won't spoil the rest of the series though. When it comes to 80s toy lines with their own cartoon shows, I'm more of a Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles guy than a He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe fan. Call it personal preference, I gues...
Platform: PC Genre: Isometric Action RPGÂ If there's something I love about the Simple 2000 bargain bin games, it's that you get what you pay for. Whether it's a 3D action game or a zombie-slaying title featuring women in bikinis and cowboy hats, you can expect a nice brainless action game with the occasional jank or two, all for one-fourth ...

Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre: JRPG Who knew that even a non-Japanese company could develop such a good JRPG? Is it still considered a JRPG if it's made by a non-Japanese developer, right? Well, in the case of Cris Tales, I would certainly say so. Developed by Colombian studios Dreams Uncorporate...

For a standalone episode that comes at the back of two highly successful seasons, Kingdom: Ashin of the North is surprisingly a perfect entry point for anyone who is yet to be acquainted with this one-of-a-kind, period zombie franchise set in medieval Korea. A special episode highlighting an ominous figure seen at the tail-end of Season 2, Ashin...

Here we are, folks, the final movie of Netflix's Fear Street trilogy, which is arguably the best and most unique to date. Thankfully, the concluding film ties everything up pretty nicely and offers a much-needed resolution for many of the existing mysteries and plot points from the first two movies. If Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was trying to be S...
If you want the ultimate dual-screen setup, you should consider at least buying a 34" monitor with all the refresh rate perks of a gaming setup. Huawei's sole widescreen gaming monitor option, the MateView GT, is hefty fine in that regard. Giant Glamour After some painless setup (just make sure you have ample space around you), you can see an...
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Extension of 2020's best 2D beat-em-up How do you top one of the best comebacks of 2020 with a year's worth of turnaround? If you're a small indie team, you don't. You just make use of what you have to creatively craft and capitalize on what makes the game great in the first place...

Platform(s): PS4, PS5 Genre: Adventure, Narrative Consequence, Story Choice, Single-Player Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol is probably one of the most adapted works in fiction, either directly or indirectly. I specifically refer to the concept of the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come (or Future). The idea of bearing witness...

If Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was trying to be Scream, then Fear Street Part 2: 1978 is clearly evoking the so-called golden age of slashers by emulating the setting of Friday The 13th. That's no secret, considering that the second movie in this trilogy brings us back to the late 70s to an idyllic camp by a serene lake, or so we thought. The first...

A slasher is a subgenre of horror films with decades of history. At its core, slasher films usually involve a killer murdering a group of victims, usually using a tool that's a blade of some kind. From 1960's Psycho to franchises like Halloween, Friday The 13th and Scream, the slasher genre is extremely popular, albeit one that's lost its lustre si...

Having reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra a while back, picking up the Samsung S21 5G feels akin to jumping from a finely tuned track car into the seat of a roadworthy version of the same model. Everything from the feel to performance felt familiar, yet much more ... civilized. Where the Ultra boasted industrial-like specs and a body made of ...
Platform(s): Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: Action RPG with sci-fi and loads of loveable anime tropes In the first hour or so of Bandai Namco's action RPG entry Scarlet Nexus, it goes out of its way with its anime tropes. The plucky earnest male protagonist, the tsundere female who you can also choose to play as, the childhood frien...

Platforms: Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: Third-Person Hack & Slash Borefest We're fortunate to live in an era where the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons is accepted as a mainstream recreation within pop culture.

Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5 Genre: 2D Legend of Zelda action-adventure with MS Paint As someone in the creative field, I too have my fair share of self-doubt due to imposter syndrome. Sometimes I anxiously wonder if what I'm doing is for the greater good, whether people and peers alike will remember me for the mark I've left in this hobby-slash-j...

Platform(s): PS5 Genre: JRPG omake Final Fantasy VII Remake was one of the best games in 2020, and it showcased what a proper AAA remake could achieve, turning out to be one of the best games in the franchise in years. To clarify, this won't be a review of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (since the base game is almost exactly the same; it o...
