Do you remember Last Sentinel? If not, it’s understandable. The title was announced during the VGA’s in December of 2023, with a hyper-graphic teaser trailer. The biggest draws presented for the game at the time was former Grand Theft Auto developers were behind the title, and Last of Us Voice Actor Troy Baker was Performance Director. There is always a game, or two, announced during the event with a big name or two attached and a great trailer that then vanishes from view for years, but it was obvious at the time that Last Sentinel was far from release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JIFzUYhVGY…

Big Walk begins with a simple premise and promise. The player, taking the embodiment of some kind of ant thing, spawns into a room with prompts.

You might think these are just expressive, but soon you will learn that Big Walk, despite being a small game, lives up to the promise of Big idea and Big adventure in every facet. Once you leave that small base, you are given a crash…

Blue Reflection Quartet is a weird collection of games, if we are being honest. Last year I also reviewed the Ryza DX trilogy, which is probably the developer Gust’s claim to fame, with the Atelier series being the series that they are known for in general. Blue Reflection is an enjoyable other franchise that never reached the same audience, which is a shame, but before Quartet, it wasn’t a quartet like Ryza was a trilogy. Up until this point, and much more accurately in the West, there were two games in the series: the 2017 original and a follow-up from…
