It looks like we’re about six hours away from the official launch of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continet. This morning the app appeared on my phone predownloaded and I was greeted by a message letting me know it’s a single player experience that I should enjoy in my own time, despite periodic updates. Finally…
Mihoyo, now called Hoyoverse after an explosive entry onto the world stage, is cranking out new titles. They really have no intention to rest on their laurels with Genshin Impact, and nor should they. The copycats are already closing in with the likes of Tower of Fantasy bringing their own twist to the Genshin Impact…
There are so many Switch games coming out I’m hyped for I decided to bang up a quick piece for my own benefit. If it helps someone else discover some great games too that’s even better! This is a super weeby list and I don’t quite know how that happened. I’ve been falling down a…
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…

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…
