Because I’ve been writing articles on how I’d “fix” various issues affecting the later Silent Hill games, I’d like to close out this subseries by doing the same with Silent Hill: Origins, as originally released for the PSP in 2007. While Origins is a relatively decent entry (even if just for the novelty of having…
Chrono Trigger is undoubtedly one of the most beloved RPGs of all time. The time travel adventure was released on the SNES in 1995, and ever since then, players have immersed themselves in the gorgeous world with its unforgettable characters. However, will the game ever be remade? Scenario writer Yuji Horii might be open to…
Ifa, the last 4-Star character for Genshin Impact, is, much to my personal sorrow, a disappointment. From a mechanical perspective, he’s clunky. From a DMG standpoint, he lacks power. As a Healer, he barely passes. Finally, as a Driver/Support, he rates only as acceptable. The flaws in this character are egregious, and, while he can…
I hope everyone saved room for dessert because it’s time to return to Fontaine and meet the new addition to Genshin’s character roster, Escoffier. A Polearm, 5-Star unit who specializes in Off-Field Cryo application and healing, she is probably the best chef in the land of Hydro. In terms of personality, let’s be blunt, she’s…
Everyone is talking about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, be it for its marvellous storytelling, its wonderful art nouveau style, or the wickedly fun turn-based gameplay inspired by ye JRPGs of olde. Each character brings something new to combat, be it Lune with her elemental Stains, Maelle with her flexibility, or Gustave with his quick-firing prowess….
To move on from the 8-bit era of video games discussed in my previous article on “hidden gems” for the NES, I’d now like to take a look at similarly overlooked yet impressive titles for Sega’s 16-bit Genesis console (or Mega Drive, as it’s known outside of North America). Initially debuting in Japan near the…
If you’re still using Skype, first of all—how? Second of all, you’re going to want to pay attention. Microsoft has officially confirmed that Skype will be retired in May 2025. That’s right. After more than two decades of “Can you hear me now?” and frozen video calls, Skype is heading off into the digital sunset….
If you have something incredible like the concept of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 kicking about in your brain, it’s kind of your duty to share that with humanity, right? For Game Director, Guillaume Broche, it was a case of leaving a rather comfortable position at Ubisoft and establishing his own company, Sandfall Interactive, to make…
33 years after the release of the original, Ecco the Dolphin is being brought back to life. The classic game tasked players with playing, as the name implies, a dolphin, who is attempting to rescue the sea from aliens. The game received multiple sequels, including Tides of Time, but the last of these games was…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows fans! Ubisoft just dropped Update 1.0.4 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it’s got me excited to jump back into Feudal Japan. I’ve been loving this game, sneaking around as Naoe or charging in with Yasuke, and this patch adds some cool new stuff to explore. Whether you’re a lore nerd or just…
