In our first review-in-progress for Monster Hunter Stories 2, we talked about the game’s graphics. This time, we’ll dive into its combat. Is its turn-based combat fun? The regular Monster Hunter series are in the action genre. The Monster Hunter Stories series is in turn-based jrpg genre. And think thats yet another reason I like Monster Hunter Stories 2 more than the regular series. For a long time I’ve been a jrpg fan. Everything expect Pokémon. Of course, it has…

Monster Hunter Stories 2 is out now for the Nintendo Switch. Thanks to Nintendo Canada we received a review code of the game. And in our first review-in-progress, we’ll talk about the game’s jaw-dropping graphics. The regular Monster Hunter games have people and monsters that look fairly “realistic” and cool. They’re really nice looking games…but… I prefer Monster Hunter Stories 2’s graphics. Monster Hunter Stories 2 is cel-shaded with a very animated/anime look to it. Fans of Pokémon might think…

There was a special broadcast for Monster Hunter Stories 2 today! You can check it out below and then please come back here for thoughts on it. Monster Hunter Stories 2 looks amazing. As I mentioned previously, I’m not a Monster Hunter fan but I loved the trial version of Monster Hunter Stories 2. The wonderful graphics, the awesome turn-based battle system, and excellent exploration really caught my attention! And I enjoyed today’s Monster Hunter Stories 2 broadcast a lot!…

The demo for Monster Hunter Stories 2 is out today! Thanks to the magic of the Japanese eshop though, I was able to get the demo a day early. And it was in English! Here are my thoughts on the trial version of Monster Hunter Stories 2. I’m not a Monster Hunter fan. I’ve tried to get into the games via the demos that have been released for each one of them but have never succeeded. And so while I…

E3 2021 is over! Was it the best E3 ever? Nope. Was it fun? Yep. But, who won? Did anyone win? Let’s talk about who the “winner” of E3 is! E3 2021 was alright. It wasn’t the best E3 ever. It wasn’t even the best game related event this year (those State of Plays and the Dragon Quest event rocked) but it did offer some surprises and delightful games. Xbox and Nintendo did good. Ubisoft and Square Enix were not…

Let’s admit it: E3 2021 hasn’t been great. And today’s Nintendo Direct wasn’t world changing but it was pretty good. Time to talk about Nintendo! Today’s Nintendo Direct is over! As I write this, the Nintendo Treehouse is airing and its showing…METROID DREAD. Yes a new Metroid game was shown during the Nintendo. And its a 2D Metroid game. Without a doubt, this was the most shocking part of the Direct. Yes, a 2D Metroid was rumored and speculated about…

Going into the Square Enix E3 event, I had two things I really wanted to see: the rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game and some Japanese Square games. Well, we got both but…let’s get into the event in the article! The rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game is real! Wow. And it looked awesome. I loved it so much. The graphics, the dialogue, the action, the adventure, THE SOUNDTRACK. I just want to play this game now. After that reveal…

The Xbox/Bethesda event was today and…well, actually it was really really good! Let’s talk about it! I had high hopes going into the Xbox/Bethesda event and guess what? They mostly delivered! I say mostly because I didn’t feel like there was anything too surprising during the event and they did make one misstep, which I will talk about later, but otherwise… The event started with Starfield. It was just a CGI trailer with no gameplay but it looked amazing. I…

Okay I was going to wait until tomorrow for the Xbox/Bethesda and Square Enix events to write more columns, but…I really need to talk about the Wholesome Direct. We just have to talk about the best E3 event so far! In case you missed it, you can check it out in the video below. Some of you may have missed the best E3 2021 event so far. It was not Summer Game Fest or Ubisoft Forward…no. It was… THE WHOLESOME…

Ubisoft had their E3 event today and…well…look at the title. I mean, I know that kind of sums things up, but let me go into more detail. Ubisoft’s E3 event was today and…well technically its still going on as I write this. They have a post-show event about this Rainbow Six thing. I do not care. I have it on anyway. Let’s back up. What did I think of the pre-Ubisoft show? Um. It was not much of a pre-show…
