Dreamlight Valley 2024: The Upside of Live-Service

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:00:43 +0000

I am not a fan of most live-service games. Outside of Honkai Star Rail and one or two others, the concept gets exhausting after a while. I only have so much time to play games, and I would rather immerse myself in games that have powerful or enjoyable storylines and complete gameplay loops. However, as we get into the 2nd year of Disney Dreamlight Valley, I realize that there are certain ways to…

Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark Announced

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 18:00:33 +0000

I reviewed Inti Creates’ Grim Guardians: Demon Purge a while ago. The dual-character Action Side-Scroller offered a fun experience with a unique playstyle. Now, Inti Creates has announced the follow-up, coming much sooner than you’d expect. Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark will be released on March 27th, 2025. This follow-up is bringing the dual-protagonist action into a more Metroidvania…

Fantasian: Neo Dimension Available Now

Edward Harding — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 16:00:32 +0000

It is rare that a Square Enix game flies under my radar, especially one boasting the creative duo behind Final Fantasy: Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu as lead designer and composer respectively. Fantasian was originally released exclusively for the Apple Arcade back in 2021. Now this week Square Enix has saw fit to make the game available for a wider audience by releasing the game for both…

House Flipper – Dine Out DLC Now Available

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 14:00:46 +0000

It amazes me that despite House Flipper 2 being out in the wild, the original game is still receiving content. It isn’t a bad thing, but in a world where most times sequels lead to the original getting dropped like a bad habit, it is surprising. House Flipper’s newest expansion has finally made its way to PC and consoles, offering a delicious renovation experience. Frozen Way and Game Formatic…

Nightscape Demo Available Now

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 16:00:53 +0000

I love games that explore cultures and ideas other than my own. Games like Raji: An Ancient Epic showcase new locales and beautiful stories that aren’t seen often in gaming. Now there is an early look at an upcoming adventure on Steam that has me very intrigued. Developer Mezan Studios has released its first demo for Nightscape, a 2.5D adventure inspired by Arabian astronomy.

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 16:00:13 +0000

I’m a big fan of the Atelier series and I’m always excited for the start of a new Atelier “saga”. The franchise is usually broken into trilogies or sagas with a specific protagonist.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land will be released on March 21st, 2025.

Mindcop Now on PC and Consoles

Alexx Aplin — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 16:00:22 +0000

I love a good detective game. Thrillers, mysteries, cyberpunk detectives, all of these things scratch the mental puzzle itch for me. A new game, developed by solo developer Andre Gareis just launched that will make you reconsider how you investigate crimes. Mindcop is now available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5. After six years of development, Mindcop allows you to take part in a non…

Taylor Bauer — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 16:00:15 +0000

It’s still too soon to tell how much of an impact cloud gaming will have on the industry. While things like the Google Stadia never truly took off, platforms like Xbox Cloud Gaming have steadily improved over the past few years, showing signs that with a good internet connection players may not need disks or consoles to play their favorite games. Amazon has heavily invested in cloud gaming with…

Death Note Game Announced

Edward Harding — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 13:00:40 +0000

While I’ve never been as high on the Death Note series as most other anime and manga fans, It certainly provides some interesting avenues for a video game adaptation. If you by chance have never heard of the series the premise is as follows. A high school prodigy named Light Yagami finds himself in possession of the Death Note, a notebook used by the gods of death to usher any soul to their demise.
