Originally revealed during a Japanese Nintendo Direct earlier this year, the asymmetrical escape-action game Pritto Prisoner is now set to launch for PC and Nintendo Switch in two weeks. When I say “potty” party escape game, I mean it: bodily functions are your ultimate tools for victory! Who doesn’t need to relax with some laughter after big holiday events?…
I have reviewed Persona 4 Golden twice at this point. The last time I did – the PC release – I wrote 2,000 words about it. I’ve also penned several essays about the game’s themes, and enthused about it to just about everyone that will listen for the past decade.…
Read MoreDokapon Kingdom isn’t the best-known game out there in Sting’s long and illustrious library, but it has its fans. The last time we saw the property was back on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii but now, after many years, it’s making a return to Nintendo Switch. Dokapon Kingdom: Connect…
Read MoreMagical rings are such a well-trodden fantasy trope that they’re now at the point of clichéd symbolism that would score you an “F” grade in your creative writing course.
