Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X, PS5 Genre: Bungie-patented loot-and-shooter expansion Destiny 2 has reached its epic fourth year, with Beyond Light being the second expansion release without former taskmaster Activision in the same lot. Naturally, Bungie has taken off the beaten path and has introduced to the players quite several new interest...
Platform: PS4, Nintendo SwitchGenre: Rhythm Game, JRPG Good job, Square Enix. You've officially pulled an Atlas move. What's an Atlas move, you ask? A rhythm game spinoff from a JRPG franchise isn't anything new. Atlus has done it multiple times, which means that they must at least be selling pretty well. Square Enix has follo...
Platform: PC Genre: Broken hack-and-slash RPG In Xuan-Yuan Sword VII, an action RPG from Softstar and a few other Chinese developers, your hero Taishi Zhao can switch between five attack stances, each of them with their own melee-styled attacks. You have the Wolf which gives you a Dante Stinger-like move to lunge at opponents and combo them, an...
Platform: PS4, PS5 Genre: Sequel To 2018's Best Comic Book Hero Open World Action-Adventure Game Ever since his introduction into the Marvel family in 2011 when he took over the mantel of the Ultimate Universe Spider-Man from the recently deceased Peter Parker, Miles Morales has risen from merely a "Spider-Man in a dark suit" into a cultural ic...
Platform: PS4, Xbox Series X, PS5, Xbox One, PCGenre: Open-World, Action RPG, Stealth, Historical Assassin's Creed Valhalla marks only the third time in Ubisoft history that they've skipped one year for the annual franchise, after 2009's Assassin's Creed 2 and 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins. Both of these were hallmarks in the lineup...
The second season is finally here. While the first season was pretty impressive, it felt a bit bland and suffered from pacing issues, but most importantly, for a fantasy series, it lacked a certain amount of magical spark. His Dark Materials Season 2 opens up the series a little bit more, both literally and figuratively, as everyone now realize...
Platform: PC Genre: Adventure game What Comes After, the indie game from fahmitsu and Rolling Glory Jam about mortality & the afterlife, reminds me of that Midnight Meat Train movie and short story from Clive Barker. Except less grisly and more thought-provoking. And more cute than horrifying. And a lot more hopeful at the end of the pr...
Platform: PC, Nintendo SwitchGenre: Puzzle, Strategy, Casual A lot of people hate maths, and that includes me. It stands to reason that someone who dislikes maths or anything involving the calculation would also hate sudoku, that puzzle game with the squares and numbers. With a description like combining "the tricky number puzzling...
Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X and S, PS5, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Arcade racing game disguised as a rally title Do you know what people hate? Impostors. Especially when one thing you like tries to pretend being what it isn't for the sake of hitting the mass market or just having a bizarre stroke of supposed genius. For instance, racing game Project...
Let's face facts: Microsoft's last generation of gaming right after the Xbox 360 was, to put it mildly, abysmal. You can chalk it up to either mismanagement of expectations, cancelled exclusives, or a slow marketing campaign. That's also not mentioning the fact that its competitor PlayStation was really hitting a slew of home runs and goals, or wha...
Platform: PS4, Nintendo SwitchGenre: Action-Adventure, Beat-Em-Up Brawler, RPG Kamen Rider is a tokusatsu franchise, just like Super Sentai/Power Rangers or Ultraman. However, the tokusatsu franchise hasn't had much luck being adapted into video games, as most tend to be mediocre at best and more geared towards the more avid fans. ...
Less than one year after the debut of The Mandalorian, the first episode of the second season has premiered on Disney Plus. It's an understatement to call the entire first season of the live-action Star Wars anything less than a massive success, so much so that Season 3 is already in pre-production as we speak. The Return Of The Mandalorian ...
Platform: PS4 Genre: Adventure game/visual novel/real-time strategy/all the animes When you think sci-fi epics, you think of the names Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Orson Scott Card, and a few others. There are a good number of talented authors who set the standard and template of the genre, that there is truly ...
Platform(s): PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One Genre: First-Person Action Game ala Mirror's Edge Missing the days when games were just time trials and speedruns in disguise? The past Sonic the Hedgehog titles on the Megadrive emphasized linear design and speed so that the hardcore can challenge themselves with better scores, better times, and ...
2020 hasn't been a good year for movies; even animated ones. Disney won't even be releasing a single animated movie this year. While we've only seen one from Pixar so far (Onward) and other from DreamWorks Animation, both of which were mediocre or just okay at best. At least for me. In comes legendary animator Glen Keane (best known f...
Platform(s): PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One Genre: 3D Action Platformer Nicolas Meysonnier must have loved 3D platformers and indie fares like A Hat In Time. So much so that he spent the last 4 years developing a 3D action platformer of his own. While he did get some help here and there, his latest game Pumpkin Jack is entirely his blood, sweat,...
Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One Genre: 2D Action Game With Metroidvania & Diablo Hooks Remember 2018's Metroidvania Dark Souls wombo combo Dead Cells? Yes, that was an incredibly challenging but fun 2D action title that's sure to influence many indie game designers to come. One can assume that Big Blue Bubble's latest effort Forego...
Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Dark Souls Metroidvania Action Platformer If you're looking for a challenge this month from an indie developer, look no further than Glass Heart Games' Vigil: The Longest Night. This 2D action game wears its inspirational sleeves proud - that of From Software's hardcore action RPGs and Castlevania titles ...
Platform: PC (On Steam)Genre: Dialogue-Driven Visual Novel The issue of artificial intelligence and the right of sentient beings have been explored in many properties of science fiction over the years; from various episodes of Star Trek to anything based on the works of Isaac Asimov or movies like 2014's Ex Machina by Alex Garland. In fact...
Originally published on 7 September 2020: (Updated on 14 October 2020): Woah, that's all eight episodes of The Boys Season 2 in just about a month. While I initially reviewed the first three episodes last month, it's time for me to review the entire second season as a whole (while still being spoiler-free, of course). In the five remainin...
