So I was interested in the game and I become more interested as I saw further footage. So yes, I bought WarGroove for…

Evoland Legendary Edition, as noted in the preview, is two games: Evoland 1 and 2, collected into one package.

Evoland 1 While Evoland 1’s story is pretty simple…

Evoland Legendary Edition is actually two games: Evoland and Evoland 2. And within those games, there are a bunch of unique graphical styles, from Gameboy to 8-bit to PS1 and beyond. Both Evoland games will take players on a journey through different rpg styles. Evoland Legendary Edition might sound gimmicky but there is a bit more to it than just changing graphics. Here is my preview of Evoland Legendary Edition for Nintendo Switch. Evoland 1 starts with no sound. You…

Instead, I got a good hack’n’slash dungeon crawler that…

I read Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie for the first time last year and saw the new movie.

I was going to do a normal review of YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG. Then, a thought popped into my head: why? Why should a review of YIIK be normal? The game is not normal. Its a weird, weird, weird, very weird game. Its also a very raw game. So it deserves a weird, raw review. A Post-Modern review. Whatever that means. So, as Mario would say, here we goooooo! YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG has bugs. And I don’t mean in…

For $7.99 per month, the…
