I am downright chuffed to be writing that Square Enix has revealed a new entry in the Mana series! Visions of Mana is the first mainline instalment in over 15 years. It promises to return to the series’ action-RPG roots while taking players on an adventure with a soul guard tasked with protecting his childhood friend. The series’ real-time 3D…
I spent the final few months of 2015 obsessed with The Legend of Legacy for 3DS. As I noted in my review, I played it every time I had even just a few minutes to spare. The game is often considered to be a spiritual successor to SaGa, though it…

I’ve had my eye on Arcadian Atlas for seven years now – that’s how long it took from the time I backed the game during its crowdfunding campaign to its PC launch this July. As a result of the campaign, I do own the game on PC… but here’s the…

I mentioned Bye Sweet Carole in passing in my coverage of Guerilla Collective’s Not-E3 showcase this year, but otherwise I actually haven’t written about it at all.
