My experience with the Ace Attorney franchise covers the original trilogy of games. I own the other 3ds games, but I haven’t had the chance to play them. But this duology of games intrigued me. Set in the Meiji era/Victorian period, it follows a different set of characters, and takes inspiration from Sherlock Holmes. I found the game on sale for 20 bucks, so I decided to give it a try. I’m sure glad I did, because it was a delight. Continue reading
AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative Review – Uchikoshi Strikes Again
When the first Somnium Files game came out, I was blown away by how well written the story was. It took what I loved about Uchikoshi’s Zero Escape series, but gave it a heart that made it stand out amongst my favorite stories. So I had high expectations for the sequel game. But did it meet them? Continue reading
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… Review – An Obnoxious Work of Art
My first experience with Nier was watching a walkthrough of the original game many years ago. I only watched the first route, and remembered very little of what happened. My next experience was with Nier Automata, which I thought was a fantastic game. With this remaster coming out, I thought it would be a great idea to reexperience the original story, while managing to experience all of the story routes. Continue reading
Kirby and the Forgotten Land Review – A World of Wonders
Platformers are not my main genre of choice. I mostly play JRPGs and visual novel styled games. For me, story is a major component is what makes a game memorable. Obviously a game needs to be fun to play, the a great story can make it last in my mind. It’s what makes me more hesitant to try other genres. Continue reading
Top 10 Anime of 2021
I know what you are thinking. Isn’t it 2023? Yes. I’ve had a bad habit recently of falling very far behind on anime. My first reason for delaying this top list so long was that I was waiting for certain anime to air in dub. Eventually, that happened, but I was still behind. Then at some point, a dub for Link Click was announced. I decided I might as well give that a shot, then make my top list afterwards. Although, I didn’t watch that dub until well after it was over. But now, I’ve finally finished all the anime I had planned for 2021. I can finally write this top list (like two months after finishing Lick Click lol). Continue reading
Gravity Rush 2 Review – Kat Returns Powered Up
The first Gravity Rush game was a short but sweet experience that exemplifies why I love playing video games. It was stylistically pleasing and presented a world I couldn’t imagine outside of a game. Gravity Rush returned with it’s second entry. While I had hoped it would be a massive improvement from the first game, the experience was more of a mix of taking a few steps forward and a few steps back. Continue reading
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review – And Life Moves On
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a game I’ve been excited for like no other, except maybe Xenoblade Chronicles 2. My hype for this game was so high, that other things started to seem boring in comparison. Monolith Soft is a studio capable of making masterpieces, so I’m glad to say that this game didn’t disappoint. Continue reading
Gravity Rush Review – Dive-Kicking Superhero Fun
Many years ago, I played the original Gravity Rush on the PS Vita. I remember having a good time with it, but I ended up forgetting pretty much every detail. I’ve owned Gravity Rush 2 for a while and I’m interested in playing it, but I wanted to refresh my memory of the first game before hopping into the sequel. So I downloaded Gravity Rush Remastered on the PS4. I was able to beat the game in only two days. So, here is my review. Continue reading
Japanese Games Have Always Been “Woke”, Get Over It!
If there is one thing that I’ve always disliked about the anime community, and the community around Japanese video games, it’s the right wing Japanophiles who’s main motivation for consuming such media is the escape from left wing American politics, or so they claim. So it should surprise nobody that they are back on their bullshit again, considering the recent news in gaming. Continue reading
Spring 2022 Anime First Impressions
I know it’s been ages since I’ve posted, and I still need to do a top 10 anime of 2021 post, but the new anime season has arrived, and I’ve greatly enjoyed a number of premieres, so I thought I would give my first impressions of these anime. Continue reading
