REVIEW: A Plague Tale: Requiem (2022)

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Dec 13, 2022 | 0

A strange new criticism of modern video games has arisen, with many considering a solid development in story and characters utterly antithetical to the gaming experience.

REVIEW: The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero (2022)

Matthew Carmosino | Nov 30, 2022 | 0

The Trails series of RPGs is somewhat niche with a reputation for having an intimidating amount of worldbuilding spanning multiple games and arcs, but don’t let that keep you from playing Trails from Zero. This game is a joyous Japanese RPG experience that deserves more attention. To get new ...
