Bandai Namco Games/Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth/Media Vision/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H. I am going to come right out and say it – I was more than pleasantly surprised by my time spent with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. JRPG fans will find a lot to like about this game, and the development team has done a nice job…

Article by Matt S. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is a fascinating game. It’s interesting in part because it’s fun, of course – it’s quite hard to ruin a monster collecting game when the critters are this cute. But it’s fascinating for so much more than being a really good Pokemon…

Review by Nick H. With headsets ringing in from anywhere as low as fifteen dollars to three hundred, it can be hard to figure out which one will best suit your needs. It does help to pick a firm budget to work with however, and the Level 5 Plus by…

Review by Matt S. I really didn’t think that Climax Studios would manage to outdo its effort with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India. The Chronicles series has always struck me as the most experimental Assassin’s Creed titles that we have seen to date, and on top of that, India was the…

Review: Siralim (Sony PlayStation 4)

Indie/monster collection RPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/RPG/Siralim

Review by Matt S. Siralim is my kind of retro-themed nostalgic rush. Where others get stuck right in to all those pixel-heavy platformers that the indie space is so inundated by, I’d rather kick back and rip through something just like this. Back when I was a kid, there was…
