Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Platformer Puzzle Do not let Drawn To Life: Two Realms' cutesy art style and saccharine music fool you. It is an insidious and devilish affair meant to lull you into a false sense of security. You're better off playing CD Projekt's upcoming RPG if you want a more mainstream and friendlier title, despite ...
Platform: PS4, Android, iOSGenre: Narrative Adventure, Indie I played a bit of Malaysian indie developer DreamTree Studio's DeLight: The Journey Home at Level Up KL 2019. It turned out to be one of the event's highlights for me, leaving with a memorable experience, and I was excited to see more of the game. Fast-forward a turb...
Platforms: Xbox Series X | S, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: Survival Exploration Chillax Love Story, With Some RPG Combat Thrown In I feel Haven's survival RPG moniker is an exaggeration. True, your main characters Kay and Yu can level up their stats, and there's a nifty partner combat system that runs in real-time. But it's pretty simpl...
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, PS5, PS4 Genre: Greek-themed Ubisoft open-world odyssey, Breath of the Wild edition Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In this 2020 and video game culture context, the Nintendo Switch hit Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is beaming with so much joy because there are a couple of titles apein...
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC Genre: RPG set in fictional cities in Tokyo and Yokohama Yakuza: Like A Dragon may not star series mainstay Kazuma Kiryu since his story arc is already complete, but its new lead Ichiban Kasuga offers a new and fresh perspective. Unlike Kiryu, the brash but well-meaning Ichiban has to start from the...
Platforms: PS4, Xbox Series X, PS5, PC, Xbox One Genre: Next installment in Call of Duty's military first-person shooter Coming off a brilliant year thanks to 2019's version of Modern Warfare, I don't blame the folks at Activision if they faced sleepless nights leading up to the release of their Call of Duty game for 2020, Call of Duty: Black O...
Platforms: PC, PS5, iOS Genre: Indie action-adventure from the folks behind Abzu For all of its expansive maps and lush visuals, action-adventure game The Pathless is really short. Clocking in at about 5 hours or less, you can play through the main story where you're a lone archer trying to rid the giant forest island of the Godslayer's red mia...
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 ...
