My 6 year old son’s obsession with Sonic is what drove me to purchase, and play Sonic’s newest entry with him. Truth be told, while I have played nearly all of the entries within the Sonic series; I haven’t been excited about a Sonic game since 1998, and Sonic Adventure’s Dreamcast reveal. Sonic (Despite its…
Final Fantasy XVI producer, Naoki Yoshida, is not shy about making big waves on the news. After going on a strange rant about how the term “JRPG” was discriminatory; a rant that stirred controversial takes amongst the JRPG fanzine. Yoshida takes controversy to a new level, yet again, by suggesting that Final Fantasy XVI took…
Last week, I wrote a column about the JRPGs that I would like to replay some day, but most likely would never get around to replaying for a variety of reasons. Today, I will list a completely opposite collection of games. These are RPGs (not all are JRPGs) that I must replay every 1-2 years….
2018’s God of War is one of the best game of all time, and certainly, one of the best games on the PlayStation 4’s stellar catalogue of exclusive games. Its sequel does nothing to take the series somewhere new. It is a continuation of the first game’s storyline, and its gameplay mechanics. Raganarok is slightly…
Square Enix, Sega and Nintendo, have all made head lines this week. One would think that we might have travelled back to the 1990s, but sadly, that is not case. Out of the three headlines that we will discuss here, only one is positive, and that’s Sonic Frontiers’ commercial success despite the game’s ho-hum critical…
Twenty years ago, I was 17 years old, and had an extreme passion with playing JRPGs and reviewing them in written form. In reality, some of my oldest reviews were written way before 2003, and on an actual ‘word processor’ typewriter. Reviews for games like Suikoden, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Final…
Cyberpunk 2077, at one point, was the most overhyped RPG in history. Its hype, was mainly based on CD Projekt’s stellar reputation as a great developer with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Despite the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 was set in a world that couldn’t have been more different from The Witcher’s and that it…
If you have read my work on this site, you will know that I like the Fable series, and that its reboot is one of my most anticipated titles on the Xbox Series X. Microsoft, so far, has had nothing to compete against Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon series in the open world role…
Final Fantasy XVI, despite a somewhat impressive story trailer reveal a few weeks ago, has come under scrutiny, and criticism, from a group of fans wanting a more ‘diverse’ cast, within the confines of the game’s storyline, than the one shown in trailers. In an era, were US media in particular, seems to be striving…
Final Fantasy XVI’s new trailer, aptly titled, “ambition”, is out. I had to watch it a few times to digest certain aspects of the much awaited entry; an entry which further distances itself from the older traditional style of turn-based party combat. The new entry, helmed by Naoki Yoshida, seems, at least in my view,…
