I never really liked the genre of building block sandbox games in which Minecraft remains the exemplar. The gameplay feels meaningless and filled with busywork meant to pad your time, lacking any sort of narrative incentive to push me forward or urge me to continue playing. While Dragon Quest Builders 2 isn't perfec

It's not always easy to find a game you'll like on Steam. Even with features like suggesting games that are trending among your friends or by following curators who recommend genre-specific games, you might still overlook obscure gems. I personally found one of my favourite games of all time, Alpha Protocol (now no lo

The genesis of the Cyberpunk franchise began with Mike Pondsmith creating the first Cyberpunk The Roleplaying Game of the Dark Future tabletop RPG game back in 1988.

Sony Pictures Television and Hivemind Entertainment have announced that they will be working with Square Enix to develop a Final Fantasy XIV TV series, which will be the first-ever live-action adaptation of any title in the long-running and iconic JRPG game franchise. Hivemind Entertainment is best known for producing

Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Musical Action Adventure When you think of the term "spoiling the market", you think lazy spin-off titles and offshoots like a lot of Final Fantasy mobile games out there. But you also think of other titles like your Auto Chess games in Dota 2; an offshoot of a mod that is so addictive

Our resident RPG guru Mr Toffee was disappointed with The Secret of Mana remake last year. It felt very cheaply-made, the added dialogue and story bits did not help elevate the source material, and it somehow made the 1992 original game superior. Based on what we've seen at E3 2019's Treehouse live stream, Square Enix

Square Enix recently capped out their E3 2019 press conference by finally revealing the long-awaited Marvel's Avengers game by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Not only did the cinematic trailer for the game receive divisive and mixed reactions from many, it ultimately left everyone (including me) with more questio

E3 2019 is over and done with; there's a ton of video game reveals and some locked-down release dates for anticipated titles for this year and the next. So, which games deserve the coveted Kakuchopurei Best of E3 Gold Star award which we just made up on the spot for this feature? Let's find out! Kenn Leandre Halo: Inf

Mostly all of the promotional material and trailers for Cyberpunk 2077 have shown at least some degree of violence, with limb dismemberments, stabbings, and lots of shooting. A person who knows nothing about the game may think that it's a glorified killing simulator of some kind, judging from those alone. Even CD Proj

Black Desert, the Korean MMORPG by Pearl Abyss, is slated for a global mobile phone title release this year as, creatively enough, Black Desert Mobile. The game is already available in South Korea and Japan a few years ago. The English version will be out on the Play Store and App Store in the coming months. Here's

With Sony PlayStation's absence looming over E3 2019, it was everyone else's golden opportunity to grab and take advantage of. Unfortunately, no one really stepped up in terms of huge surprises or really giving fans what they wanted. Just as all hope seemed lost as another E3 is about to close up, Square Enix swoops i

Another E3, another year where Bethesda announces a bunch of new games and new IPs for us to salivate over. And also the release date for the much-awaited FPS Doom Eternal. However, Bethesda is under much scrutiny given the context of Fallout 76's launch last year. Yeah, remember that? Despite the fact that the compan

The leaks just keep on coming even during the weekend (via ResetEra and Twitter's Daniel Ahmad). Bandai Namco's recently-leaked E3 assets showed us the official title of the much-talked-about From Software and George R.R Martin collaboration: Elden Ring. It'll be out for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and will most likely b

The sky is blue, the earth still orbits around the sun, and Gust and Koei Tecmo are still making Atelier games, I guess. That's a victory for a subsection of JRPG fans who crave melancholy adventures, hot alchemy synthesis action, and some turn-based combat goodness. The latest one, Atelier Ryza, is slated for Fall 20

This guide is still in development, since the game is new & all... We had a blast with Id Software and Avalanche Studios' Rage 2. Its combat is fun, frenetic, and action-packed thanks to the game's weaponry and Ranger powers. To maximize your fun with this first-person shooter, here are a few tips and guides to s
