Grandia 2 is a Dreamcast JRPG Worth Going Back For

I have zero nostalgia for the Grandia series. So when I say I love Grandia 2 I say it as someone who enjoyed it in 2024 without  prescription rose tinted glasses. The story has eerily similar plot hooks to Final Fantasy 10 which would come out a year later in 2001. You take control of…

The Music of SCHiM Is Too delightful

SCHiM is an upcoming indy game about being a little creature jumping from shadow to shadow in an ultra-stylised environment. It’s all clean flat colours and lines. Every piece of artwork for this game makes me wanna cream myself with it’s confident simplicity and modern architectural flourishes. I wasn’t aware of SCHiM until I saw…

Reverse Collapse Code Name Bakery, A Quick Review

Reverse Collapse: Codename Bakery enters a long line of games that have atrocious names, although fails to take the crown from void* tRrLM2(); //Void Terrarium 2. Codename Bakery is a turn based tactics RPG on PC set in the Girls Frontline universe. This is a series I have actively and loyally avoided for years now…

Ex Astris, A Full Offline JRPG For Mobile

Ex astris is a full fledged single player jrpg made for mobile. This has left everyone wondering, when is it going to exploit my latent gambling addiction and leave me dead in a ditch with a handful of anime girls. The answer is, never. Actually I need to say that one again with a massive…

Making Sense of Palworld & The Pokemon Comparisons

If Palworld is an indiscriminate gruel of other games Pokemon is the emergency crackers off the Titanic. They’re just as bland as they were 100 years ago. I’ve got a couple thoughts about Palworld I wanted to jot down. I think they’ll remain relevant to our overall gaming convo together long after the hype around…

2023 Game Of The Year According To My Friends

Last year I did a game of the year list picked by my friends, who could only choose one each with no double ups. This gave us a much more realistic list than the bullshit we saw at the Game Awards. This year we’re doing at again, but we’re also including a community pick from…

Pseudoregalias Dev’s next NEXT game will be their Best

You know you’ve become a true fan when you find yourself googling Devs and ratting through their itch.io profile like your madly swipping through an exes Instagram page. But lets start where it all began, the stalking of devs I mean not the stalking of Exes I’m not ready to discuss the restraining order just…

How The 1971 Star Trek Is the Proto-Roguelike

The 1971 Star Trek fan game predates all modern franchises, has been ported across dozens of codebases, and still receives new ports and iterations to this very day. It laid the groundwork for PC gaming as we know it today, from installation onto your own terminal to getting your hands dirty doing mods of your…

Relic Hunters Legends Is Top Down Destiny

Relic hunters legends is a Saturday morning cartoon reincarnation of Destiny if it hadn’t had it’s butthole torn apart by Blizzard. I have a flashing weak spot for looter shooters. They hit my critoris in just the right way. But it wasn’t until relic hunters legends that I realised theres practically no top down twin…

A Short Hike Is What a 10/10 Game Looks Like

I have bought A Short Hike six times, which is about half the amount of times Bethesda wishes I would buy Skyrim. After last weeks video I felt like I needed a bit of a break, I feel like I’ve earned the right to say the least controversial or brave thing of all time. I’m…
