Bravely Default II is one of the best JRPGs that I have played in a while. Despite that though, there were a few hang-ups that I believe held it back a bit. Its beautiful watercolor art style was sometimes diminished by its underperforming graphics. And although I enjoyed every single battle in this game, I…

Monster Hunter Rise Review
Monster Hunter is a franchise that has been around for quite some time now. It has always been successful, especially in Japan, but western audiences have flocked to this series since the release of Monster Hunter World in 2018. World became Capcom’s most successful game ever, so with the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise and…
Immortals Fenyx Rising Review
Ubisoft’s new IP aims to break away from their traditional Assassin’s Creed games and forge a new path all on its own. I have to say that it mostly succeeds. Immortals Fenyx Rising may not have the best title, but it is certainly an enjoyable game. A Tale As Old As Time Immortals Fenyx Rising…
Hollow Knight Review
I recently completed Hollow Knight and I just have to say it is a fantastic game. From start to finish I was intrigued by this game’s ability to keep me on my toes and surprise me. What Is Hollow Knight? Hollow Knight falls under a lot of different genres, but first and foremost it is…
Pokémon Sword and Shield Review
Like many Pokémon fans, I was excited to have a main Pokémon game on the Switch. I enjoyed the Let’s Go games, even if most didn’t, but they were spin-offs. Pokémon Sword and Shield had a lot to live up to, but unfortunately fell short in a lot of areas. New Console, Same Graphics Pokémon Sword…

Cyberpunk 2077 Review: If Uwe Boll Made a Video Game
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game I waited nearly six years for, growing increasingly worried as more and more details emerged over time, until finally, we have this—an unplayable mess on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, a mediocre game on PC, and a dull, buggy shell of a game on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5….
Final Fantasy VII Remake (FF7R) Review
What Final Fantasy VII Remake (FF7R) is Not Ironically, given the “Remake” moniker in its title, Final Fantasy VII Remake (FF7R) is not a remake. In the game industry it is understood that a “remake” is the delivery of what is basically the same title that we received years, and some times decades before with…
Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One) Review
A spouse (343 Industries) tries incredibly hard to please their partner (gamers and critics) by preparing their favorite dish (Halo), a dish that the spouse’s parent (Bungie) has served them for as long as they could recall in perfect tasting fashion. The spouse, lovingly tries as hard as they can, following the proper recipe, and…
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Review
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, is the 12th major chapter and the latest release in the long running Assassin’s Creed series. The game is a refinement of Ubisoft’s AnvilNext 2.0 engine, and a wonderful take on the ‘Viking’ time period. For Starters, I am not a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. I…
