Crossings is a Norse-inspired first-person VR soulslike set in the afterlife. Here’s my review. You have fought this boss before. They obliterated you last time. You dodged their heavy attacks, parried the light ones, and physically inflicted a flurry of swings with your fire-imbued axe when stunned. And yet, it was not enough. They disappeared at the last strike, only to reappear behind you and deal a final blow. But you are back and stronger than ever. This will be their end. It’s the afterlife, and with a single drip of sweat scurrying through your temple, you are the one…
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a postmodern JRPG that makes its way to consoles with a new enhanced edition. Player expectations are built over time, markedly so with a nascent medium such as video games. The JRPG genre, for example, was founded on the tropes first seen in Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. Grinding to level up, stocking up on items at each quaint little town, and difficulty spikes found on major bosses. Once the democratization of game development started, we started seeing a fatigue from those patterns to the point where a new subgenre arose: the postmodern JRPG.…
A new Dragon Quest Wiki has just launched, with its editors committed to becoming the go-to site for fans of the series. When a video game speaks to your soul, it feels like a higher calling. There could never be any other reason, in my mind, as to how someone would dedicate a substantial amount of their lives to being a part of a fandom. And not only that, but to lend their time to write article upon article for a fan-made Wikipedia page. I am, of course, talking in this case about Dragon Quest, the legendary Japanese role-playing franchise…
Prison Boss Prohibition is a business simulator with a hectic energy only selling contraband and avoiding the law can give. Add a lighthearted tone to a serious subject, and you have a whole new taste for it. Hazbin Hotel introduces a starry-eyed main character to save condemned souls in Hell. Forrest Gump’s premise of an autistic man who apparently was behind every major pivotal moment in the 20th century. Prison Boss Prohibition puts you in a pun-filled backdrop when the sale of alcoholic beverages was prohibited with a twist. Living in New Yolk City, every character is either a chicken…
Perfect Tides: Station to Station is a passionate coming-of-age tale that taught me how to love again. People come and go. That is a given in life. If you are lucky, some of them will leave you a parting lesson. If not, they will just dissipate, which is its own kind of devastating. Regardless, everyone leaves their mark, for better or worse. Who you are in your late teens, starry-eyed and grasping at any kind of exciting opportunity, is mostly defined by how and with whom you decide to spend your time. Such an impactful era is full of cringey,…
This is a guest article written by author J.D. Nyle, who is based in Japan. In it, he analyzes the overall presence of Nintendo in its home country. I’ve made a couple of videos analyzing what Nintendo does that makes them so dominant in Japan and the issues PlayStation has to overcome. Since then, I have seen some improvements from PlayStation, such as the region-locked console and using Astro Bot for branding at shows, LINE Stickers, and even job recruiting. Even more fun was seeing a PlayStation 5 ad in the middle of a Switch 2 display. However, I also…
“The only winning move is not to play.” – WarGames (1983) Out of all the sweeping generational changes Breath of the Wild introduced to the video game landscape, there was one that no one saw coming. Genshin Impact launched at a perfect time for it to become a hit in September of 2020. This BOTW clone, with a wondrous open world, a focus on exploration, and a stamina bar, was actually a Trojan horse. Its success would eventually guarantee the downfall of creativity for the open-world genre while introducing some deeply nefarious practices that irrevocably changed gamers’ approach to their…
