From late June to early July, we put our wallets through some excruciatingly good discounts on the Steam Summer Sale. There's almost nothing better than buying games at a high discount... except getting games for free which is exactly what the Epic Games Store gives us pretty much every week! So what does the EGS have

Vanillaware, the folks behind Odin Sphere, Dragon Crown, and all those lovely-looking 2D artwork-filled games that remind you of a Japanese Frank Frazetta, has shown off more info and details of its upcoming action RPG mecha-filled title 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Here's what the game features: 13 Playable Charac

Square Enix recently capped out their E3 2019 press conference by finally revealing the long-awaited Marvel's Avengers game by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Not only did the cinematic trailer for the game receive divisive and mixed reactions from many, it ultimately left everyone (including me) with more questio

Netflix is teaming up with Finnish games developer Next Games for a Stranger Things mobile game in the vein of Pokémon Go's popular location-based gameplay system. Simply titled Stranger Things, it is unique in that the game will be adopting a classic 80s Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic instead of the retro 16-bi

Here's an old game I never thought would be ported in English, let alone get a remaster. After 25 years of being only in Japan, Seiken Densetsu 3 will finally see an English release twofold. First : Square Enix is publishing a 3D remake labelled Trials of Mana... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwgC0i234JM ...which

Here's the second part of the massive reveal by Kinda Funny Games. If you missed our Part 1 writeup, you can head over here. 31.

The leaks just keep on coming even during the weekend (via ResetEra and Twitter's Daniel Ahmad). Bandai Namco's recently-leaked E3 assets showed us the official title of the much-talked-about From Software and George R.R Martin collaboration: Elden Ring. It'll be out for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and will most likely b

After seeing that pretty grotesque teaser trailer of a knight turning into a Dungeons & Dragons mind flayer, and a possible demonic invasion, most of us old-school CRPG players are psyched for Baldur's Gate III. Here's what we know about the upcoming game from developers Larian Studios, famous for the Divinity: Or

To say that Bandai Namco's upcoming RPG Code Vein is a Dark Souls knockoff but anime and sci-fi is disingenuous, but not entirely inaccurate. The controls, the motions, the level design filled with possible one-hit pitfalls and traps. Even down to the core one-on-one duelling focus against enemies, it's emulating th

Another legendary Japanese game franchise will be following in the footsteps of the massively popular Pokémon Go. Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest Walk, a new mobile game in the vein of Pokémon Go. Little has been revealed about Dragon Quest Walk so far. From the looks of it, the game will feature many of

While we said in our glowing review of Lapis x Labyrinth that the action RPG can be simple, there are some quirks and obstacles that can kill you outright without you knowing why. Whether you're using the wrong combination of adventurers/dango tower, ill-equipped, or have the wrong enchantments, you may end up stumped.

Platform: PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Action RPG With Fever Mode & Cute Heads Bishi Bashi. Diablo III on Normal. Tekken 7 with casuals. Most Marvel vs. Capcom games against level 1 AIs. These are the kinds of experiences where you can turn your brain off for a bit and let your muscle memory and instinct take ov

The sky is blue, the earth still orbits around the sun, and Gust and Koei Tecmo are still making Atelier games, I guess. That's a victory for a subsection of JRPG fans who crave melancholy adventures, hot alchemy synthesis action, and some turn-based combat goodness. The latest one, Atelier Ryza, is slated for Fall 20

The Star Ocean series is known for its expansive RPG gameplay and "Star Trek but anime" sci-fi narrative, though it's only played by RPG fans who kept track of Tri-Ace and their Tales of Phantasia/Wolf Team days since 1994. Well, this year and the next (probably) would be a good time to remind people about the series;

What makes a good video game partner? It’s such a simple question, and just thinking about it makes one of them pop into your mind, doesn’t it? Is it Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite? Is it Morgana from Persona 5? Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot? Maybe even… Claptrap from Borderlands 2? It’s a

There's a lot of unique things about video games as a hobby. It's one of those mediums of entertainment that combines literature, technology, visual art, audio design, and many more aspects. It's also one of the only forms of entertainment I know that tells you "Look kid, until you're good enough, we're not letting you

Platform: PS4 Genre: Zombie apocalypse action-adventure game I've always wanted to check out Portland, Oregon in the US. During my time studying/working in North America, I'm always curious as to how vast the woods and trails are especially when you want to arrange a road trip just to see how lush it all is. As fun as

It's good to see a game like Chrono Trigger getting more acclaim and praise 24 years later. According to a Famitsu poll (via Siliconera), the Squaresoft JRPG was voted the best game in the Heisei period. This was followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and NieR: Automata at 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Last year's nominee for best RPG and winner of best OST on the game awards that matter in Southeast Asia is getting a PC release. And we won't have to wait that long. The former exclusive Nintendo Switch JRPG with the lovely 3D/2D retro diorama graphics and 8 character narrative flow will be out on Steam June 7, accor

Despite what's been going on with Ubisoft and their plethora of Far Cry and live service shooter games, the adventures of Sam Fisher are far from over. According to IGN's latest Unfiltered podcast episode featuring Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot, he said the company has plans for the Splinter Cell series. He answers the
