After that bombastic last-minute reveal of CD Projekt Red's sci-fi techno opus during the Microsoft Xbox press conference, we were all ready to proclaim Cyberpunk 2077 as "Witcher 3 but sci-fi, fast cars, and androids". We might have been premature with our claims, but we were half-right: it's an RPG where you control

Figured I get this out of the way: before I started contributing to good ol' Kakuchopurei, I played a LOT of Assassin's Creed Origins and its two expansions. I dug the RPG aspects of it, its charismatic protagonists Bayek and Aya, the ancient Egyptian setting during Ptolemy's rule, and the second expansion's foray into

It's now Day 2 of E 2018, and Microsoft just finished their Xbox press conference. While it initially feels like a repeat of 2017 where they announced a ton of games but only few exclusives, keep in mind that Xbox's Game Pass idea kinda makes all of this sounds tempting. We'll do a quick breakdown, then get back to th

Platforms: PS4, PC Genre: Action, Beat-Em-Up, Licensed Tie-In In case you couldn't tell by my previous Netflix and anime writeups, I really, REALLY adore Little Witch Academia. From its humble Kickstarter beginnings to its culmination into a 26-episode anime that gives closure to many of its viewers and its Studio Tri

Also, we're going to be streaming our live reactions on our Facebook page. Join us in the wee hours of the morning during the many E3 presentations! So now that we have a schedule to

The next Pokemon game returns to where it all began, in the Kanto Region as Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! hits the Nintendo Switch come November 16 this year. However, it should not be confused with the 'core Pokémon RPG' for the Switch which was teased

Platform: PS4 Genre: Adventure, Dialogue Flowchart, David Cage Production One instance I'm a clean-cut pleasant-sounding android detective trying to solve human murder cases with my gruff cop partner voiced by Lex Luthor/Mr. Krabs in the mean streets of Detroit 2038. The next, I'm in the shoes of a maid android

I used to slag on virtual reality, since the concept sounds like a big gimmick. But then we see games like Moss, which can change our perceptions by a tiny bit. Immersion is important in games, and if it's pulled off right, your VR game is made all the more entrancing. What used to be exorbitantly-priced is now mad

We're in a crazy age where Twitch.tv streamers determine whether a game is worthy of being played by the masses, as well as determine what you should be entertained with. Yes, we know guys like Dr. Disrespect and Ninja are living it up with their streams of Fortnite. We know of the phenomenal streaming powers like PewD

Good news, retro enthusiasts. Sega is back in the console-making market, sort of. The Japanese branch announced its upcoming Sega Megadrive Mini, which is basically a tiny emulator system that plays old Sega games stored inside in its original resolution. https://twitter.com/SEGA_OFFICIAL/status/984972055777918976 Cl

Update (11 May): Added in more tips on building & loading out mechs.  We had a taste of the new Battletech PC strategy game recently, and it is glorious! It looks great, and it plays like a dream if you're into managing a mercenary group of four Battlemech pilots trying to scrounge up cash doing the odd mercena

Last year, Tekken 7 and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite had single-player story modes that, for better or worse, felt a little different and tried to be a little cohesive with its made-up lore. Where did they rip the "play as different characters in the game's narrative" concept off from? Well, from the Injustice series of

While the Xbox One may be light on exclusive games, it is nonetheless doing its own thing: building a long-term platform where past, present, and future Xbox games can run through the power of its possibly game-changing Game Pass. And now Xbox is adding in a huge number of backwards compatible games in the mix. Here i

The Blue Bomber himself, Mega Man, is the de facto Capcom mascot back in the late 80s when 2D platformers were all the rage. The titular original series was groundbreaking stuff. Its pick-any-order stage selection process was novel, its weapon-stealing mechanic was innovative, and its challenge level was brutal yet

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Action, FPS, Cult-Bashing Simulator I'm sure many have been asking: Is Far Cry 5 as good as Far Cry 3? Some reviewers have chosen to focus on the story and how it doesn't live up to the initial premise marketed by Ubisoft. Others even say that the game's "political inclination" o

Platforms: PS4, PC At first glance, Ni no Kuni 2 is an innocent tale of an innocent deposed king named Evan who wants to build his own kingdom called Evermore. But looking back at the story so far, this little kid is a dictator in the making. The story is framed so that everyone who comes into contact with him swear

Nintendo yet again surprised us with another 30-minute Nintendo Direct video segment this early morning at 5am. The main highlight is, of course, Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch (finally). Sadly there's no news on Metroid Prime 4 or anything Metroid-related, but there's a ton more stuff if you want more port

The beauty of the Nintendo Switch, apart from having kick ass games in 2017 like Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is letting you play console quality games when you're mobile. Whether you're in your car, on the bus, on an Uber, or on the LRT/MRT, you can't deny how convenient and awesome this is. Heck, I'll just

A long while back, a mobile gaming RPG by the name of Brave Frontier made headlines by being one of the more-played games out since at the time there was no Final Fantasy mobile game in tow. It also made headlines down south in 2014 where it tried to win the equivalent of Best Made-In-Singapore game in the Digital Lif

Ubisoft just released the latest story trailer for their upcoming open world action game, Far Cry 5 which focuses on the main antagonist, Eden's Gate leader Joseph Seed.
