All reviewsUnicorn Overlord2024
4 out of 5 starsIf you have any interest in Unicorn Overlord, play the demo. I’m serious, stop reading this right now and just do it. The demo takes roughly 5 to 8 hours to complete, gives a thorough tutorial of the mechanics and allows you to transfer the save data to the full game. I’m assuming anyone still reading this review has already played the demo. The great news (depending on your interest) is that the full game of…
Yakuza: Like a Dragon2020
5 out of 5 starsYakuza Like a Dragon is the start of a new era for the long running Yakuza franchise. The numbered series are dropped in favor of the Like a Dragon name, Kazuma Kiryu is replaced by new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga and the beat ‘em up gameplay has transformed into a turned-based RPG.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim2019
5 out of 5 stars13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim by Vanillaware is a love letter to the Sci-Fi genre. The game is inspired by countless anime and movies from Evangelion to E.T.; yet also manages to put its own unique spin on the genre. What starts as a cliche plot of high school students piloting Sentinels (mechs) to fight Kaiju, is only the tip of the iceberg. The game surprises and delights until the very end. This, coupled with beautiful…

All articlesThe Legend of Heroes Trails Retrospective Pt 1
Jul 10, 2019
Originally I wanted to write a review for each of the Trails games, but thought a retrospective blog was more appropriate. The thing about the Trails series is that each game builds upon the last one. Some of the games in the series feel incomplete and end with unsatisfying cliffhangers. For me, it doesn’t make sense to talk about each game individually when the whole series as a collective is...
