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: Final Fantasy VII Remake-What’s Old Is New, And What’s New Is Old
Is it possible to have your expectations broken when you never had any? I had almost no form of hopes and expectations prior to going into Final Fantasy VII Remake because I didn’t have a true prior love of the original. As I stated in my previous review, I didn’t grow up with Final Fantasy VII…

Review: Final Fantasy VII-A Long Time Coming
How on earth should I go about this? Reviewing a game that literally everybody knows can be a difficult thing. It can be hard to talk about something that millions of people have already voiced their opinions on and it can be hard to find a way to differentiate yourself from them. No matter how…

Review: Granblue Fantasy Versus-Imagine Fighting The Slot Machine
Gacha games are evil and you shouldn’t play them. Now that we got that out of the way I just want to say that I’ve grown a huge amount of appreciation for Granblue Fantasy. I originally started playing it last year but have become somewhat obsessed with it over the past month. It’s simple, but…

Review: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot-Too Much Of An Okay Thing
I now know more about Dragon Ball now than I ever had in my life and that’s not a good thing. What on earth do you want me to say about Dragon Ball? You know it, I know it, we all know what this series is. I watched it on Toonami as it came out,…

Review-Pokémon Sword (And Shield I guess)
Boy, this game sure did cause a stink, didn’t it? I wasn’t going to pick up Pokémon Sword (And Shield I guess) originally. It didn’t have anything to do with the controversies surrounding it or anything, though it didn’t help, it just wasn’t on my radar. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy Pokémon every now…

Review-Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
When I first started this mini Dragon Quest marathon, I was expecting to play some mildly dated, yet enjoyable games. I was expecting to see the evolution of the JRPG happen in real time and appreciate them as milestones for the genre. What I wasn’t expecting was to fall in love with one particular game.…

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…

Review-Kingdom Hearts III
My relationship with Kingdom Hearts is as complicated as its story. On the one hand I love the world it’s created throughout its long history and I think the Disney/Square-Enix fused environments are brimming with charm and personality. I also think the gameplay for each game is unique in its own way and each entry…
