November 17, 2017

Ghostlight/JRPG/Lost Dimension/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Tactics RPG

Review by Ginny W. Someone described Lost Dimension to me as a mix between Danganronpa, Fire Emblem, and anime. For better or for worse, that description is incredibly spot on. It mixes a bunch of well-known concepts and mechanics and produces a polished result that looks all set to succeed…

Review by Moshe R. I love the animals of the sea. I don’t know if “love” is the right word here, given I tend to consume animals of the sea on a daily basis. Quite dedicatedly so, actually, since reading somewhere that frequent seafood consumption may explain the extra longevity…

The first is a throwback right to the days of Wizardry, with turn-based combat and, generally speaking, a focus on highly detailed, largely static sprite-based art.

After such a cracking first year (Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 2), is there anything Nintendo can do to make the Switch’s second year as massive as the first? And NieR 3 is officially happening… do we dare dream that it could be better than…
