Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is a great pick up for console RPG aficionados
Translating tailor-made computer games to consoles is a difficult task, as the many attempts to bring those tried and true titles to another platform over the years that have turned out to be less than stellar can attest to. So it comes as a big surprise that Larian Studios’ Divinity: Original Sin 2 made such…
Years later, Yakuza 2 is still one hell of a game as Yakuza Kiwami 2 proves
It’s really hard to separate the Yakuza series from my personal history with videogames. What began with a curious look at a weird Japanese game a college friend of mine brought to campus one day eventually spanned over a decade of playing its numerous sequels and prequel, and now it’s come so far as having…
Phantom Doctrine might be hard to declassify, but it’s worth investigating
One of the best parts of living — and in my case, growing up — during the end portion of the Cold War was getting to experience all of the related entertainment media that came out at that time. The spy fever took a long while to cool off, and even in the years following…
Set your sails to a great action JRPG experience in Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
Finding a good JRPG to play nowadays isn’t as easy as one would imagine. Although there’s no drought of games to dive into, it’s still relatively hard to find a franchise to stick to.

It revolves around saving humanity and restoring Earth’s most precious element that was stolen by an invading alien race. After having played its premiere episode, titled after the protagonist Austin, one of the…
Exorcize adventure game demons with the help of the Unavowed
Adventure games have come a long way since the days of the war between Sierra and LucasArts. Since then, a lot has changed in the adventure gaming formula, with plenty of releases attempting to change the traditional means of delivering a story all the while challenging players with creative puzzles and such. Some developers, like…
20XX is a Mega Man game in almost everything but name
If jumping like Mega Man, shooting like Mega Man and sorta looking like Mega Man were enough for Capcom to slap a Mega Man name on 20XX, they totally would. Outside of a key gameplay difference, Batterystaple Games and Fire Hose Games’ newest Switch release plays exactly like a 2D side scrolling Blue Bomber outing,…
La-Mulana 2 proves that “X” never marks the spot
I’m always in awe when a game comes out in this day and age that manages to confound me as much as La-Mulana 2 has so far. Like its predecessor, developer Nigoro’s long in development puzzle-platformer is a game about discovery and having to work your ass off for it. It’s can be positively exhilarating…
A Rite from the Stars: A rite song and dance
A Rite from the Stars features a fascinatingly beautiful world, but sadly spends most of its time on relatively rote, repetitive puzzles.
