Fans of old Final Fantasy entries have been worried about Final Fantasy XVI’s action-oriented combat. It seems that the series has ditched the old school turn-based system that the series fans have been accustomed to in favor of action-based combat. Is Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy anymore? No. At least not the “golden era” Final Fantasy…

Here’s What We Know About FromSoftware’s Newest Title Elden Ring
Elden Ring has been in the works for a while now. The trailer for it was released during E3 2019. Since then, we haven’t heard much about the project. No doubt that’s because of the pandemic, but recent leaks have emerged online, reminding us all of this elusive title. The world of Elden Ring will…
Horizon Zero Dawn: Breathtaking And Beautiful
With Horizon Forbidden West (hopefully) right around the corner, it has me thinking about the game that started it all. Horizon Zero Dawn is one of my favorite games for the PlayStation 4, and honestly all time. It is one of those games that I wish I could erase from my memory so I could…
Five Of The Best RPG Villains
RPGs wouldn’t be the same without their villains. They are arguably the glue that holds any story together. They challenge the main character and party members to be heroes. Some villains are just down right diabolical. Those are the types of villains that really seal the deal. Sephiroth – Final Fantasy VII Sephiroth is arguably…
Kingdom Hearts 3: A Disappointing Entry in an Otherwise Wonderful Series
I am a huge Kingdom Hearts fan. I have been ever since it came out on the PlayStation 2 back in March of 2002. Kingdom Hearts 2 remains my favorite in the series but I have replayed them all. All except for one, at least. That one game is Kingdom Hearts 3. Kingdom Hearts 3…
Nier Automata: A Weird but Wonderful Action RPG
Nier: Automata is a game that, for me, is very hard to put into words. It blends its dystopia world with an elegant soundtrack that left me feeling peaceful, rather than depressed. This game truly has some of the most beautiful music in it, and somehow it fits perfectly. On top of that, the gameplay…
The 5 Best Sega Genesis (Mega-Drive) RPGs
The 16-bit era featured a great line up of J-RPGs. The genre remained confined to a niche group of fans during this period, but game franchises like Final Fantasy were still able to leave a mark. The SNES ruled the JRPG roost thanks in great part to Squaresoft’s strong efforts for the system. Nintendo’s console chief…
Monster Hunter: World Reintroduces The Franchise Perfectly
The Monster Hunter franchise has been extremely successful in Japan, spanning across multiple consoles and handhelds alike. Here in Western markets though, it never quite took off in the same way that it did in Japan. Monster Hunter: World though, changed things tremendously. Monster Hunter: World was able to break out in a way that…
Persona 5 Strikers: Here’s What We Know
Persona 5 Strikers comes out on February 23rd, and it will be coming out on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Steam. The game will differ a lot from Persona 5, but it is still considered a direct sequel. It is worth mentioning that the storyline is a continuation of Persona 5 and will not…
Transistor: A Wonderful Action RPG
I first played Transistor this time last year and it was quite the experience. I went through a bit of an indie phase last year that I honestly haven’t quite left yet and I don’t think I ever will. Each indie game I have played is so creative and unique and Transistor is no exception….
