Review by Nick H. Most major sports get annual iterations, and FIFA is no different. The naysayers call these yearly updates nothing more than a refreshed roster, and something that should just be DLC (if that). However, in most cases developers do end up putting in some new modes, engine…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’m not sure how much Western media knows about Chinese superstitions, because it’s a veritable goldmine for interesting storytelling, and I celebrate any developer with the intention to try to do something with it. Developer Litchi Game is one of the studios making the most of…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Code Vein has been a long time in coming. Developed by Bandai Namco, the company decided it was time to make its own Soulsborne instead of simply publishing yet another one. It’s one of the first anime-styled Soulsbornes, and through it we see just how far…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Last week the Nintendo Switch got a superb port of the most recent Dragon Quest title. On the same day, albeit arriving with far less fanfare, ports of the first three Dragon Quest titles also landed for download off the eShop. I’ve decided to lump the…

Read MoreReview by Trent P. GreedFall comes from developer Spiders, the team behind The Technomancer, Mars: War Logs, Of Orcs and Men and Bound By Flame. Just like each of those, GreedFall also offers a unique perspective to the genre. It may seem like yet another 17th century-based fantasy at first…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. On the one hand, I’m very glad to see Puzzle Quest is back. On the other hand, as much as I enjoy Puzzle Question, I’m getting sick of playing the same game over and over as the only truly great example of the series. First released…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. After its initial release, long time fans of the series had but on real complaint about Monster Hunter World: It didn’t have the G-Rank difficulty or any other equivalent to it that other Monster Hunter titles did. Being added in through a truly expansive DLC package,…
