Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X Genre: Vertical Roguelike, Platformer Action Game, Indie, Bullet Hell This year alone, I've reviewed several roguelike and roguelite games, including Gods Will Fall, Nigate Tale, and Returnal. It seems like everyone's trying their hand at the genre these days, as it gets less a...
Army Of The Dead director Zack Snyder is probably best known for his comic book movie adaptations like 300, Watchmen, Man Of Steel and Justice League. Way before all of that, many might not remember that his very first movie (and directorial debut) was 2004's Dawn Of The Dead remake. After almost two decades, Snyder has returned to the genre tha...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), Xbox One, PS5 (version played), PS4, PC Genre: Survival horror with loads of action beats The fourth mothership Resident Evil game back in 2002 really did spoil the survival horror market. Many games did try to emulate its success. Heck, even Capcom tried to one-up its impact with Resident Evil 5 and R...
Mythic Quest is one of the best and most refreshing sitcoms of recent times. Produced by the creators of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Ubisoft Film & Television, the first season of the Apple TV+ series showed that it wasn't afraid to be both funny and over-the-top while also being hard-hitting and packing an emotional gut-pun...
Platform: PC Genre: Typing RPG If you miss games like Typing of the Dead and need a PC title that's a tad longer in the tooth, you may want to check out Nanotale: Typing Chronicles. Instead of a guy with a gun escaping a haunted house, you play a female wizard named Rosalind who wants to explore the world and uses spells to defend herself. N...
Platforms: PS5 Genre: Third-Person Roguelike Action Bullet Hell Game Returnal is the PS5’s first true exclusive in a while and it has a lot to prove. Developer Housemarque is best known for 2013’s Resogun and 2016’s Alienation), but this is their first attempt at making a AAA game. After finally playing it, I can say ...
Platform: PC Genre: Outspoken adventure game for your extended lunch break If you were to rate the indie title Say No! More just on its length alone, it gets a failing grade. The adventure game will take you at least two hours or so to beat in one playthrough. Despite its length, Say No! More wears its "one word, many languages" linguistic arca...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Action RPG with crazy twists and turns Back in 2010, I had the pleasure of experiencing the action RPG that is Nier. For all of its rusty gameplay & subpar graphics, it boasts one of the best plots that require you to pay attention and play through to get the most out of it. Even then, it would be remiss ...
I have to blame Your Name for setting the bar for romance plots and anime works way too high. It makes judging judging other films in the same animated genre a lot tougher and saddling them with more expectations. That's fine and all, because every animator and story writer needs to aim for the top to stand out. But what about a film that's as g...
Review originally published on 8th April. We're bumping this up to this week since this film will premiere outside of SEA and on HBO Max this week. The Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise has been shocking the world with its blood and gore since 1992, but no live-action adaptation has managed to capture their full visceral violence so far. The...
Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 Genre: Expansion to 2019's best looter shooter game 5 expansions later, Borderlands 3 went from a great game to an even more packed one. So what else is there for a sixth DLC pack? How about something for or loot-and-shoot fans and Borderlands lore hounds alike? For the former; more guns & end...
Platform: PC Genre: Isometric roguelike dungeon crawler with magicians You have to hand it to last year's GOTY material Hades, a monumental feat of indie achievement that not only entertains and delight, but also will inspire many, MANY indie devs to create their own breakout isometric action game with roguelike mechanics. This isn't an issu...
It's been 14 years since The World Ends With You graced us with its Nintendo DS gaming presence. Billed as a pretty unique JRPG, it featured a lovely 2D art style, great 2D JRPG combat, and the fact that you need to equip fashionable clothing to stay ahead of the competition stats-wise. The anime adaptation that launched its first episode recent...
Platforms: Xbox Series, Xbox One, PC, PS5, PS4 Genre: Online-only looter shooter from the folks behind Bulletstorm To my horror, the gamertags at the top right corner of my screen went from green to red in an instant. Both my teammates were down. My partner whom I queued with, the Trickster was felled almost simultaneously, right next to the random...
Platform(s):Â PC Genre: Isometric Action RPG Roguelike, Isekai, Waifus That was fast. Supermassive Games' Hades was released in 2020 to critical acclaim and incredible financial success after being available in Early Access since 2018. It certainly didn't take long for developers and publishers to catch on and take inspiration from what wa...
(Review originally posted on 5 April 2021) There's no shortage of superhero or comic book adaptations out there, but sometimes a show comes along with a unique premise to try and stand out. HBO's The Nevers is one of those, and it's created by Joss Whedon of Firefly, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Avengers fame. X-Women Assemble [caption id="att...
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung's flagship, tentpole smartphone model of 2021. Considered the beefiest version of the already impressive S21 range - which itself already presents a leap from last year's solid offering - the S21 Ultra is akin to the Xbox Series X to the Series S of the 'standard' S21 variation. It's huge, comes with all the ...
At first glance, the mid-ranged tailored Samsung Galaxy A52 Android OS phone is sleek. It's got a medium-sized frame with decent bezels surrounding its ultra-clear screen -not too thick, not too thin- that's designed for this generation of phone users and comes with a ton of bells and whistles out of the box. Upon further testing & inspectio...
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...
