Review: Yakuza: Like a Dragon- When One Dragon Fades, Another Rises.
Back in 2015 when I was still a bright-eyed, innocent 21-year-old with too much time on my hands, I gained my first exposure to Sega’s Yakuza franchise with the release of Yakuza 5. I had only seen the cover arts for the first and third games before that and even then it wasn’t a strong…

Review-Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line
You know…when I said I wanted to start Dragon Quest from the beginning, a friend warned me that the second game was exceedingly rough and needlessly difficult and my first thought was “EHHHH I’LL BE OKAY! I CAN ADAPT TO AGE, IT CAN’T BE THAT BAD!”. Let it be known that I have never called…

Review-Dragon Quest
Role-playing games have never been my strong suit. I had a strong aversion to them growing up due to my lack of patience and short attention span..but there was an RPG series that I always admired from afar. Dragon Quest. I was first exposed to the series with the 8th entry and the artwork for…
