With the arrival of the new comes the impending release of the latest entry in the Legend of Heroes series. Despite being the kind of JRPG that caters heavily to true diehards, it’s still going quite strong, to the point that I can’t even keep track of the main entries anymore. The latest game is…

Metaphor ReFantazio – It’s Darn Good So Far!
After finally picking it up for Christmas (and after sitting on it for a week in favor of playing through Sly 2: Band of Thieves again), I’ve finally gotten started with Atlus’ latest: Metaphor ReFantazio. I’ve got about 12 hours into the game so far and have just cleared the first dungeon. And, I have…

Starfield: Hard Bounce

Sure, I can say now that I’m happy to sink into life hours into Fallout 76 and (ZeniMax’s) The Elder Scrolls Online, that (Obsidian’s) Fallout: New Vegas is a true stand-out among stand-outs, and that I’ll take another round of…
Baldur’s Gate 3 Gets Really Heavy Sometimes
In the last couple of posts I made about Baldur’s Gate 3, I talked a lot about its characters and the amount of freedom the game allows you. I’m still greatly enjoying both and could readily talk about either again, but today I’d like to talk about something else. For all the freedom the game…
Baldur’s Gate Gate 3 Gives Me Hope For the Future of AAA Games
It’s kind of an odd feeling to be having concerning one singular game, yet here it is all the same. Baldur’s Gate 3 has me feeling that perhaps AAA gaming isn’t completely doomed after all. It’s not so much that I expect the game to somehow single-handedly lead the industry out of the darkness or…
Bravely Default 2: Demo Review
Although I am indeed an RPG fan, I feel like there’s just so many RPG’s out there that one would really need to catch my eye in order to entice me to buy it. One such series that I’ve always passed over was Bravely Default, which, aside from having a rather odd name, didn’t appear…
Miitopia is Way Better Than It Has Any Right to Be
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…
