I’ve been having a tough time with the Ni No Kuni franchise recently. I got the first game on Switch not so long ago and have had a tough time dealing with the AI companions being an absolute piece of shit during combat, I’m determined I’ll figure it out though eventually. Now on the mobile…
I came into Dragon Quest 11 fairly half heartedly, picking it up after a couple recommendations from people I respect immensely. I’ve been diving into JRPGs more these last couple years in an effort to truly understand the genre. It seemed only fitting that I get into the godfather of all JRPGs, Dragon Quest. I…
An exciting looking new Pokemon killer called Palworld has been making the rounds online due to it’s pure meme energy. All the critters look like barely copyright safe pokemon copy pastes, the main character in the trailers is a carbon copy of Aloy and the entire project screams of asset flipping. But the hype around…
I’ve been preparing an article about how average the OST for Pokemon Legends: Arceus is. I wanted to listen to all six hours of ripped audio before making the conclusion conclusive. But I don’t know if I can ever truly just dunk on a game and call it content. This blog isn’t Youtube circa 2009…
Halo Infinite’s main campaign dropped yesterday so I spent the evening digging into that. If you haven’t played through the intro sequence yet there’s sort of spoilers, so maybe skip it till you’ve played at least until you’ve dropped into the open world zone. I can’t comment on the larger game yet as I’ve not…
Since a little before Covid started wrecking the place I have been going on a bender collecting old gameboys. Primarily I just wanted one of each kind. I’m currently missing the Advance Micro and the standard Advance. My SP is pretty ratty, so maybe another one of those would be good as well. With these…
Mass Effect. Its mere mention is enough to unearth old arguments. The series began as a pioneer for interactive storytelling, standing on the back of Knights of the Old Republic, the studio’s previous SciFi RPG that was critically acclaimed by more than just die-hard Star Wars fans. But Mass Effect was another step entirely, with…
I like digging up surprise hits from old games. You’d think a franchise like Mario would already have been picked entirely dry. The reverence some people pay this little shit is borderline gross. I guess growing up in a place that didn’t have a massive market penetration of Nintendo meant I missed out a little…
I have been waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 for 8 years now. When I started waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 the fanboys hyping it’s release were still damp from their own birth. I have been waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 since before there was any reason to believe it was even going to be any good. Witcher 3…
So you started Genshin Impact a couple weeks ago, and you had a real blast. You opened all the chests in the world and you were swimming in XP scrolls. You thought the fun would never end. You leveled every single one of the new characters you pulled with all those free primogems to 40.…
