Promise Mascot Agency has the most curious genre description I’ve seen in quite some time: open world mascot management crime drama. Management, crime, and drama are all great (and common) genres. But mascot management? What the heck?! That’s so cool it should already be a thing! I love when developers are creative enough to think outside the box; with Promise…
While both titles were formally announced at the last Nintendo Direct (I maintain it was one of the best), the Level-5 Vision 2023 Tsuzumi event brought teaser trailers and more details for both Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam.…
Read MoreIt’s a rare treat when a major publisher like Square Enix produces a visual novel like Paranormasight. I can imagine how it happened, though: A small team within the publisher had a cracking idea for a spooky story and, after seeing just how great the concept really was, Square Enix…
Read MoreStories revolving around people and their dogs are basically timeless, and a shining beacon for any animal-lover. I think that’s why Bilkin’s Folly stands out for me. It’s a narrative pixel art adventure game about a treasure hunter, Percy, where he is shipwrecked with his dog and must find his…
Read MoreFinally. We have finally had the chance to play Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. A game that was previously exclusive to the Nintendo Wii in Japan is now available on just about everything and globally, in English, for the first time. I won’t say it was “worth the…
Read MoreRuku’s Heart Balloon is right up there with the sweetest games I’ve ever played. The developers set out to make something treacle-sweet, to the point where prolonged exposure to it may well sicken you, and they succeeded. I just wasn’t able to play it for long before desperately needing to…
Read MoreDokapon Kingdom was originally released for PlayStation 2 and Wii, but the hybrid party board game is now making its way to Nintendo Switch. The premise is pretty simple, as players spin the roulette and defeat anyone that stands in their way forward. I never played the original game, but…
Read MoreWhen it was announced at the Guerrilla Collective 3 Showcase, The Last Worker stood out due to its theme of trying to incorporate with a technical world. It will be available both “flat-packed” and for VR, further enhancing that theme. Now, it has been announced when the game will be…
Read MoreMario Kart 8 Deluxe instantly became one of my favourite games on Nintendo Switch. Revisiting revamped courses from the past? Yes, please! (It’s worth noting that I missed the Wii U release so this was new to me.) As if all the courses included in the game weren’t enough, Nintendo…
Read MoreIt was great to see Nintendo launch the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance consoles to its online service for Switch recently, but, for now, the libraries of both are a little thin. With more already on the horizon, and massive libraries of games for both consoles, there is plenty…
Read MoreI must admit that I wasn’t paying too close attention to Bayonetta Origins. From the launch preview, it looked like a quick little cash-in on the success of Bayonetta 3. But now, having played it, I love this game. Really, really love it. I can’t wait to play on and…
