It's been a long, long time since we got a proper Spongebob platformer. Two years ago, Purple Lamp Studios released a remake of the classic platformer Battle for Bikini Bottom. This remake was met with mixed reception as it was riddled with glitches and performance problems such as horrendously bad pop in. It didn't help… Continue reading SpongeBob SquarePants The Cosmic Shake Review: Different, but Great
The 2022 Game Awards was proving to be the longest show yet with a runtime of over 4 hours due to an excess of celebrity appearances and Crash Bandicoot skits. I and a large amount of my friend group were getting very bored and were about to fall asleep when suddenly a bizarre chain of… Continue reading Some Random Kid just Hijacked the Game Awards
I've been in a Shenmue mood lately and sadly it hasn't been for any good reason. At the time of writing this it was just informally announced that the Shenmue anime wouldn't be getting a second season on Adult Swim. This has understandably been disappointing for many Shenmue fans as they hoped the story would… Continue reading You don’t understand Ryo and Lan Di’s rivalry

Spoiler free advice for early Xenoblade 3 players
One month ago on the subreddits r/NieRFanart and r/NieRAutomataGame reddit user u/sadfutago made two posts labeled "How to access the church?". The posts' contents were simply, only two sentences that read "Hello, I'm new to Reddit. I was wondering how to access the church in Nier Automata."People in the replies asked for more info as… Continue reading The Mystery of the Hidden Nier Automata Church
In 2019 and 2020 two popular manga that get games all the time coincidentally tried out the same genre: Open World Action RPG. In 2019 we got One Piece World Seeker from Ganbarion and in 2020 we got Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot from CyberConnect2.On the surface it would be obvious which of these games would… Continue reading Dragon Ball Z Kakarot vs One Piece World Seeker: Transforming Anime to RPG
Hello, and welcome to yet another article in my series on The Story Arc: Make a Musou. I love Dynasty Warriors, the number of times I bring it up, and the multiple Musou related articles I’ve written should be proof enough of that. However, I am currently in a Dynasty Warriors drought as I have… Continue reading Make a Musou – Yakuza Musou

This last week, I finally beat Prey 2017, and you know what…I really liked it. I really like explorative immersive sim design but rarely feel compelled to put up with the expected levels of jank and obtuseness the genre often comes tied with. Prey, however, is a very streamlined version of that formula. The mechanics… Continue reading Prey: Vibes > Audio Logs
The best fan roster a Pokemon game can have
In the year 2016, the mecha anime crossover game Super Robot Wars V was released on the franchise's 25th anniversary. This title had a lot of beloved newcomers and returning entries.

Last February Atlus and Tecmo Koei released the latest spinoff of the Persona franchise: Persona 5 Strikers, combining the Musou gameplay of the Dynasty Warriors franchise and the world of Persona 5. As someone who is a huge fan of both these franchises, I was very pessimistic about this game. A long stream of Warriors… Continue reading Persona 5 Strikers Review: Exceeding Expectations
Hello and welcome to my extremely biased review of Balan Wonderworld. I have to open this review with that so you know it's positive right off the bat. I couldn't bring myself to click on any reviews of this game that past few months because of the wave of hate toward the game making all… Continue reading Balan Wonderworld is Underrated
