Pokémon Brilliant Diamond has had some hard battles here and there, but mostly, I didn’t find it too challenging…

The addiction is real. Thanks to Nintendo Canada and our editor-in-chief Adam Roffel I have a new addiction. Its called Pokémon. I’ve been playing Brilliant Diamond a ton and I’m officially getting Pokémon Sword for Christmas! Let’s talk more about my Pokémon addiction. Animal Crossing, my favorite video game series of all-time, is currently in a fight against another game. That game is… Pokémon Brilliant Diamond! What?! I’m still a bit startled by how much I like Brilliant Diamond. I’ve…

We talked about Astria Ascending a little bit here and now its time for our full review of the game! Is Astria Ascending a good addition to the Nintendo Switch’s massive jrpg library? Astria Ascending has a really complicated plotline that invovles demi-gods and mysterious enemies called Noises. Basically, Astria Ascending is a game about saving the world. Its split into chapters and different missions. There are way too many main characters and the story is just too complex. The…
