Ghostwire: Tokyo was one of the most intriguing games lined up for early 2022. Tango Gameworks’ follow-up to the Evil Within series (and new IP) has a unique vibe and some incredible visuals. Even though it didn’t end up being my favorite game this year, there was certainly a lot worth thinking about. Especially the […]
One Piece turns 25 this year, which is absolutely wild considering we’re talking about a weekly manga series written by one guy (he has assistants for all the art though!). Part of this milestone celebration is a new One Piece videogame, with a storyline not only supervised by mangaka Eiichiro Oda, but also considered “canon” […]
Much earlier in Elden Ring, you may come across a puzzle asking you to “seek three wise beasts.” The first time at Oriys’ Rise is pretty easy, as it doesn’t ask you to venture far for the little ghost turtles. Much later in the game you’ll find another set of towers up in the Moonlight […]
Triangle Strategy is quite different from many other tactics games, in that the character roster is small. That means various functions, like certain types of magic or traversal, are often exclusive to one character. Narve, though, is an interesting recruit because he can use both healing and offensive magic out of the gate, making him […]
Stranger of Paradise is one of the weirdest games from Square Enix in a while, and it’s garnering all kinds of attention from fans and folks outside the Final Fantasy fansphere. From its bizarre premise to its brazenly campy cutscenes, everything about this “Final Fantasy Origin” has been a conversation. That’s including the game’s oddly […]
Early this year, we published an interview with the folks at EON Gaming, a small company dedicated to helping people enjoy their retro consoles on their modern displays. As a retro enthusiast myself I was intrigued by EON’s gear, despite being really into the CRT vibe. I was really curious, learning how devices like the […]
WWE 2K22 was looking like the series’ last chance at survival. After developer Yukes left the team and Visual Concepts had to scramble to finish a game by itself, 2K 2020 was considered a disaster. But after taking a year off, the effort seems to have paid off in pleasing the top brass at WWE. […]
I’ve been enjoying the crap out of Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, and doing so on the PC of all platforms. But while I don’t have any beef with the Epic Games Store, everyone has the occasional beef with Square Enix PC ports. Stranger of Paradise has its own hitches too, albeit not (usually) […]
There’s a lot of loot to sift through in Stranger of Paradise. Like, a lot. It’s overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to really manage a bunch of stuff for different reasons. And, since this guide exists, clearly there’s a demand for filters and a question of if they’re even present or not. Great news! They […]
There’s a lot going on in the Leyndell Royal Capital area, even for Elden Ring. It’s easy to clear the main parts and miss all kinds of stuff, and it’s also easy to lose several hours learning there are three bosses in this dang castle. But it’s worth exploring for all the goodies you can […]
