News by Matt S. I was less than impressed by the Stranger Things licensed tie-in game. So much so that my initial enthusiasm when I heard that Netflix was bringing a licensed tie-in to The Dark Crystal was dampened considerably after playing Stranger Things. But, nonetheless, as a Dark Crystal…

Review: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III (Sony PlayStation 4)

JRPG/Nihon Falcom/NIS America/PlayStation 4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/The Legend of Heroes/The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III

Review by Matt C. I know I keep saying this to anyone who’ll listen, but the Trails of Cold Steel games from Nihon Falcom are brilliant. Even among JRPGs, few games manage the intricate characterisation or deep world-building that Cold Steel delivers effortlessly, let alone both at the same time.…

Review by Nick H. As the name would indicate, BurgerTime Party! is an updated take on the classic game that released all the way back in 1982. A lot of the same elements make their return, but with some jazzed up visuals, music and stage layouts. This is not the…

Review by Matt S. AeternoBlade II is much better than its predecessor, and that’s not a small thing to say. The original AeternoBlade had its heart in the right place, and, coming from a development team out of Thailand, it was something that you really wanted to root for. Unfortunately,…

Review by Matt S. I think a lot of people were surprised when a licensed crossover was announced between Doraemon, the blue robot cat of Japanese manga, anime and film, and Story of Seasons, the farming simulator that has acted as the spiritual successor to the Harvest Moon series. However,…

Review by Matt S. The idea of being trapped in a time loop, in which you can use the experience from previous loops to alter the events of the new one, is not a new one. Groundhog Day is a famous example, and so too is All You Need Is…
