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...
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...
