When I initially saw a partial playthrough of the original 3DS release of Miitopia on YouTube, my expectations were low. You see, I’ve never been a big fan of Mii’s. For me, these simple, customizable characters were just not very appealing, and so I expected Miitopia to be a shallow and dull experience. I was…

Bringing Peace to Miitopia Once and For All
I’ve finally done it, dear readers! I have finally completed my grand adventure in Miitopia, at long last! The Darker Lord has been defeated, and I’ve thoroughly explored the generous post-game as thoroughly as I care to. I’ll be writing a full review eventually, but for now, this post shall offer a recap of the…
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is Enjoyably Confusing
It’s funny how easily we can wind up playing games we’d otherwise pass by. I’d heard of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim a few times over the past couple of years, but I never really had any plans to check it out. Anime games usually aren’t my thing for one, and I’ve also already seen the…
Saving My Friends in Miitopia
As I make my way through Miitopia, the cute and silly RPG where you choose the faces of every character in the game, my next goal was to travel through the volcanic region of Karkaton, at the end of which we explored the castle of Dark Lord Mr. Bean! Along the way, my ever-expanding team…
Starfield Gameplay Revealed at Last!
After four years of waiting, we finally have an idea of what kind of game Bethesda’s next big IP, Starfield, is actually going to be. While there definitely seems to be an element of procedural generation here a la No Man’s Sky, there also appears to be some distinctly old school RPG features too. It’s…
Helping the Fab Fairies in Miitopia
I recently recorded part 3 of my Miitopia playthrough, which saw the formation of my third and, presumably, final team. This time, I created all three of my new team members’ Mii’s, with their identities being as follows. Charlotte, the energetic cat, joined the team first. She is actually meant to resemble my character from…
Dr. Loboto, Swaine, and Freddy Join the Duck in Miitopia
I’m still working my way through Miitopia, a charming RPG where you can choose the faces of every character in the game. Very soon, our Youtube playthrough shall be taking a break, which will be temporary or permanent depending on the views. I’ve already written a review about the demo, and now I’d like to…
World of Final Fantasy: Demo Review
World of Final Fantasy is a game I’ve had a passing interest in for the last couple of years, even though I knew nothing about it, except for the vague notion that it featured Final Fantasy characters from across the franchise. It wasn’t until quite recently, however, that I decided to check out the “Dungeon…
Wanderjahr: Demo Review
Wanderjahr is a cute and colorful JRPG with a deceptive level of difficulty. In fact, the game’s subtitle is “Try Again or Walk Away”, which seems like a clear challenge to the player. Are you going to try again and figure out where you went wrong…or give up? Well, considering I took the latter route,…
Disgaea 4 Complete: Demo Review
Though I’ve played a decent number of RPGs over the years, one subset of the genre in which I have little experience is tactical RPGs. I was first introduced to them during a short span of time spent playing the Shining Force games on this Sega Genesis Collection I have for the XBox 360, though…
