Hylics: An Abnormal RPG

Posted on April 24, 2022April 24, 2022 by Paul Cessna

My initial introduction to the Hylics series was by watching Hylics 2’s trailers on Youtube.

Square Enix President: Japanese Developers Shouldn’t Imitate Western Games

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is well known that except for The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and now Elden Ring, Western RPGs rule the gaming world in terms of sales. Square Enix is a successful company, but its Final Fantasy series has fallen off its “king of the hill” perch over the last two decades with newer RPG games…

Posted on April 8, 2022April 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Given the massive commercial (over 26 million copies sold) and critical success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo’s 35-year-old franchise has never been more popular than it is today.
