The Legend of Heroes series turns 35 this year, and with 21 titles in it, it is inarguably the most ambitious and largest-scope JRPG property in existence. Unlike Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, The Legend of Heroes is constant, with every game taking place in the same universe, sharing a…

I have been intensely craving a cute, cozy, stress-free management sim for months now. I’ve played games with some of those elements, sure, but nothing has really captured my attention or had every element. I’ve had my eye on Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge for a while now; it checks all…

Ah, I do love the smell of a Nintendo Direct first thing in the morning! It even gets me out of bed, which is a remarkable feat these days. Today’s Direct is about 40 minutes long and features games coming out in the second half of 2024 or soon thereafter.…

Animation Arts has been around for a little over two decades now, and has a particularly well-regarded reputation for its work in classic point-and-click titles. Most people with a fondness for the genre know the Secret Files trilogy, after all. Monolith is the team’s latest. Sadly, it’s not up to…
