As I began my viewing of the two-hour emotional ride that was Violet Evergarden: The Movie, I found that it was not easy to disconnect my thoughts from the recent and unfortunate circumstances of Kyoto Animation. A renowned animation studio in Japan known not just for its quality projects, but because it was an outlier in the cutthroat industry ...
Platform: Xbox One/Series, PS4/PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Action Game With Tron's Plotline The best kinds of stories do not have to be original written works. Otherwise, nothing will get done. Narita Boy's "stranger in a strange-yet-familiar land" isekai tale is a familiar story if you've seen films like Tron, even right up to the digit...
Recently, I wrote all about who or what Invincible is, and why everyone should watch the animated series or read the source material. In my in-depth but spoiler-free article, I explained how Invincible is both a celebration and deconstruction of the genre. The Invincible comics even preceded the comics of the now-immensely-popular The Boys. Now ...
The titanic clash decades in the making has arrived. The last time that the two iconic movie monsters met was in 1962's King Kong Vs Godzilla and that was over 59 years ago. Now, they meet again in Godzilla Vs King, directed by Adam Wingard. Is it the epic battle we've been waiting for? Ape Escape Let's get down to it, running at about 113 mi...
Platforms: Android, iOS, PC (Steam) Genre: Puzzle, Interactive, Horror, Found-Phone In almost sixty years of Doctor Who, there has never been a decent video game in the franchise's history, and especially not one that Whovians (that's what Doctor Who fans call themselves) can actually be proud of. Here comes Kaigan Games' Doctor Who The Lonely ...
Dota 2 is one of the most popular multiplayer games in the world, boasting millions of players worldwide and an esports scene that breaks prize pool records every year. With more than a hundred heroes and years of updates, the game's lore is more than deep enough to warrant a decent adaptation, be it live-action or animation. Here comes Studio M...
Fancy a '40s mystery serial that plays out in a dystopian space future? You'll probably enjoy The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos DLC. In Obsidian Entertainment's latest addition to its sci-fi RPG, you and your crew of the Unreliable take on a murder mystery job in the colourful and seemingly-bright planet of Eridanos, home of the interplanetar...
The wait is almost over. For Zack Snyder and those in the Snyder Cut movement, it's been a long four years since Joss Whedon's cut of the Justice League launched back in 2017. Now, Zack Snyder's Justice League (or Justice League Snyder Cut) has finally arrived, and that alone should already be considered an achievement. This is perhaps the first...
Platform: PC Genre: Auto-RPG Simulation It's hard to pin down Devolver Digital and Four Quarter's Loop Hero with a genre label. It's actually an amalgamation of a lot of things: a computer RPG with an 80s art style, a digital card game, a simulation, a strategy game, a roguelike. What I can tell you is that all this combined makes for an awe...
The first-ever Southeast Asian Disney princess has arrived, and she's ready to join the House Of Mouse's iconic pantheon. Raya And The Last Dragon is written by Malaysian-born screenwriter Adele Lim and it shows. Even without the novelty of its Southeast Asian elements, this is a brilliant animated movie by its own merits. Southeast Asian Pride ...
It's been three years since Pacific Rim The Black was originally announced back in 2018, but the day has finally arrived for the 3D CGI anime spinoff of the fan-favourite Pacific Rim franchise (which consists of 2013's Pacific Rim by Guillermo Del Toro and 2018's Pacific Rim Uprising by Steven D. Knight). You'll probably remember the first one the ...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Old-School JRPG with New School Graphics & Updates(?) Technically the third game in the Bravely Default series (remember Bravely Second for the 3DS?), Bravely Default 2 fills in the niche of turn-based JRPGing most old-school gamers crave. Four heroes with distinct personalities working together towards a co...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Rhythm Game At first, Rhythm Doctor may sound overly simplistic. A one-button rhythm game? Wouldn't that be too easy? I'm here to tell you that it's definitely not, and this game from Malaysian developer 7th Beat Games is certainly one of the most unique rhythm games I've ever played in my life. Tap & Slam In Rh...
Superman. Truth, Justice and the American way. Anyone who says Superman is boring has clearly never read a comic book. He's not as perfect as everyone thinks he is, but he never stops striving to save everyone and anyone he can. Sometimes by literally saving them from a disaster or getting attacked by supervillains, but most of the time, he saves u...
The Five Nights At Freddy's games are popular for a reason; theme park animatronics are often creepy as heck to anyone older than 12. While we still haven't gotten an official movie adaptation yet, Willy's Wonderland is here to scratch that itch. However, this movie isn't the same as those games, and it's basically just a silent Nicolas Cage beatin...
The Studio Ghibli films are animated masterpieces. Not all of them, but surely many of them, including the likes of 1988's Grave Of The Fireflies, 1997's Princess Mononoke, and of course, 2001's Spirited Away. This is mostly thanks to the legendary founder of the company, Hayao Miyazaki, but in recent years, he has slowed down due to old age. Yo...
Platform: PC Genre: Anime erotica puzzle game Before you flip away in disgust at the combination of words that are "erotica", "anime", "visual novel", and puzzle game, hear us out. Huniepop 2- Double Date has some pretty nifty match-three mechanics that made me a bit aware of how to tackle the genre. I can't seem to grasp puzzle games and ma...
Platform: PS4 Genre: Action RPG with some tower defense bits Ys IX (pronounced "is-su") is about a red-headed adventurer who gets out of a giant-ass prison city within an hour or so, and then goes through the motions of a city-wide conspiracy that requires him to break into said prison city again and again. Along the way, our red-headed hero Ad...
Platform(s): Xbox Series, PC Genre: Horror adventure game with 2000-era tropes & camera angles The first hour of The Medium is sure to make survival horror fans gleeful, as it features different static camera angles like a late 90s or 2000s horror game ala Silent Hill or Resident Evil. That's what developer Bloober Team is going for: a nice...
Roald Dahl's The Witches is an iconic piece of pop culture, but did it really need another movie adaptation? Sure, director Robert Zemeckis is a legend, with movies like the Back To The Future franchise, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump under his belt. Still, can his version be more than just another unnecessary adaptation of the source mat...
