WiZmans World Re;Try, an HD remaster of a tactical RPG, was released in Japan for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch in May 2024. Today, Clear River Games announced that it will bring the game West for PC and consoles in February 2026. WiZmans World was a Jaleco game that launched in 2010 for the Nintendo DS. This new version has been…
Panic is a publisher that I trust: it is the published that helped release iconic games Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game. Panic is also the company behind Playdate, that little yellow handheld console with a crank on the side. So when Playdate decides to publish something, it’s worth taking note.…
Read MoreGame development crunch is bad. There’s literally no upside to it. Games get rushed, released with issues, and the staff suffers. So I take very little issue with games being delayed, despite being super impatient. I’d rather the people behind it stay healthy while creating the best product possible. So…
Read MoreWe got our first look at Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook in last September’s NIS America Showcase featuring games coming west in early 2023. Well, the “early” part of the year has nearly passed, and the games have mostly been released… except Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook. It’s a new…
Read MoreI know exactly where I stand on modernizing books from the past: I despise it with every fibre of my being. I recently reread a bunch of Lois Duncan books but they were newer versions, and despite being set in like the 70s every had cell phones (just forgot them…

Today, Idea Factory International announced what would be included in the Digital Deluxe Editions for PC, PlayStation, and…
Read MoreHave you ever tried to play a game but given up because, say, the text is too small or you can’t remap the buttons? You’re definitely not alone in that. The term “accessibility” can refer to any number of things, so it’s great that PlayStation has announced that it will…
Read MoreAs a baseball simulator, MLB The Show 23 is barely different to last year’s iteration. Even by the standards of annual sporting franchises, this one comes across as having the lightest of touches to improve the experience. The commentary cut in with the same comments at the same moments that…
Read MoreI think I blinked and missed out on the announcement of Crymachina, which is a bummer because it looks quite good and I would have liked to write about it sooner! The “serenely dark” action RPG is about mechanical girls trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world and become “Real Humans.”…
