When I think about a Harvest Moon style game - whether it be this franchise or Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley - I quickly form a quick perceived understanding of what that game will be all about. Outside of a few new items that ultimately get added with each experience, I'm going to be planting fields, tending to animals, and finding a spouse. You unlock new crops, new areas of your farm and the surrounding town, see what the Harvest Godess is up to, and so much more. If you go into Harvest Moon: One World with that thought, you might be sadly disappointed.

Its Mario Day again! Yes, I know Mario Day isn’t a real holiday but for fans of the plumber, its still a special day. Nintendo’s mascot is one of the greatest video game characters ever created. Today I thought I’d talk about what Mar10 Day means to me. Happy Mar10 Day! As far as fake holidays go, this one is my favorite. Mario is such a great character. Super Mario Bros for the NES is the first video game I…

Harvest Moon: One World has been out for almost a week, and after much time with the game, it has become very apparent that this Harvest Moon is a far cry from the original cutesy farming simulation concept. While Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has done a great job of incorporating new ideas while maintaining the standard farming practices, Harvest Moon: One World has gone a different route, and it somewhat pays off.

We checked out Bravely Default 2 for the Nintendo Switch with our review-in-progress. And now we are ready to pass final judgement on the game! Will this be another classic Square Enix JRPG? Bravely Default 2 is a throwback to older JRPGs. This series is what the Final Fantasy series use to be: turn-based gameplay with four heroes off on a journey to find crystals. This story might seem simplistic but the game features very good writing with wonderful dialogue…

KEMCO has released a lot of jrpgs for the Nintendo Switch. The newest one is called Ruinverse. It a traditional turn-based jrpg. Is it worth checking out? Let’s take a look! The battle system is very traditional, although it does have some neat combo attacks thrown in. If you are a fan of SNES jrpgs, than you might fine Ruinverse’s gameplay, especially its battle system, interesting. Its story, however, is pretty odd. I think it takes a lot of inspiration…

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos for the Nintendo Switch is a game that looks like 2D Zelda, plays like it, and adds in some Stardew Valley fun to boot. We previously previewed this game and now we are ready to review it. Is Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos worth checking out? Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is one part Stardew Valley and two parts The Legend of Zelda. There is farming, town building, and dungeon exploring. The game doesn’t really…

As stated in my first impressions last week: Littlewood is a game that seems to take inspiration from many others but presented in a way I have never seen before. This game technically starts at the end. There was already turmoil in your world. Your character defeated the Dark Wizard. The world of Solemn is finally at peace, but at what cost? You can’t quite remember. You start the game with pretty much a blank canvas, you are greeted by…

Dry Drowning is an investigative thriller-oriented visual novel set in the futuristic dystopian universe of Nova Polemos. A shady socio-political situation dragging everything down to the abyss, a serial killer drawing strength from this darkness, a tormented detective, and his assistant craving for redemption. Dry Drowning challenges the player to find the truth, going through ambiguous characters, riddles, clues, and unexpected events while telling an extremely compelling and mature story. Game Features Choices really matter: Players choices can lead to…

Pioneers of Olive Town will not be hitting North American and European markets for a few weeks yet, but thanks to Marvelous Europe, we had the opportunity to take an early look at the English version of the game. The Japanese version has already launched in Asian markets. Pioneers of Olive Town marks the largest departure from the standard series in some time, featuring a lot of the same outstanding farming mechanics, but sprinkling in new mechanics unashamedly borrowed from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is a ...
