Persona 3 Portable was one of the first titles in the Persona franchise to fully embrace its social aspects. Its original release was on the PlayStation 2, and it introduced new 3D visuals to the series. The game was considered a success and set the foundation for future games in the series. Like Persona 4 […]
Persona 4 Golden is a critically acclaimed JRPG that was first published in 2012 for the PS Vita. It was an improved port of the PS2 version of the game, with an expanded story and quality-of-life improvements. For a long time, the game was only available on the PS Vita, until the PC version was […]
One Piece Odyssey is a project that the developers worked on with much enthusiasm. There have been many One Piece games in the past, but none with the grandeur of Odyssey, so is this big undertaking an enjoyable game? So far, the outcome of One Piece games has been uneven, and there are dozens of […]

The Callisto Protocol is the first significant current-generation release that is both visually and technically stunning. It comes from Striking Distance Studios, a new development team led by industry veteran Glen Schofield. The game debuts right before the impending Dead Space Remake and aspires to be another survival horror-centered sci-fi IP. Does it come near […]
A remake of Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song for modern platforms has revived this long-forgotten, hidden niche RPG. It is not a standard JRPG, with no hand-holding and a non-linear design. The game requires the user to seek out quests and create their own story. It is not an RPG that I would suggest to anybody […]
Flying Wild Hog’s Evil West is a third-person action game that draws inspiration from the likes of God of War to Devil May Cry, and Darksiders to mixed success.
