It’s incredible that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergarde plays so well on the Nintendo Switch 2.

These first two paragraphs will be a mix of news and my opinion, so please bear with me. Square Enix seems to have zero idea what to do with the Life is Strange series anymore. I’d say they need Don’t Nod back in the developer seat, but Deck Nine did…
Octopath Traveler 0 isn’t really Octopath Traveler. It’s good. It’s even excellent,…
When Square Enix revealed the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, there was…
