I can’t imagine how chaotic that will be when playing against brand-new players, but it seems like a…
Nintendo is continuing its trend of offering obscure or childhood favorite N64 games to Nintendo Switch Online. Not long ago, we unexpectedly received Rare’s cult classic destruction simulator/time attack extravaganza Blast Corps. Before that, 1080 Snowboarding filled the arcade Snowboarding game spot on Nintendo Switch left by the absence of…
Last summer I was introduced to Unpacking from indie dev Witch Beam, a contemplative and calming game about just that — unpacking. You take the role of an unseen “Unpacking Ghost,” as called by Creative Director Wren Brier, and you sort your way through post-move boxes at various stages of…

On December 18th, 1987, Squaresoft released Final Fantasy for the Famicom in Japan. Little did they know that the game would spawn a massive franchise that’s still going to this day. That means next year, 2022, will be the series’ 35th Anniversary and it’s going to be celebrated in style…
While today’s Square Enix stream from Tokyo Game Show didn’t have too many new surprises, the handful we did get were intriguing, to say the least. Most odd of all was the very generically named Dungeon Encounters, the latest game from Final Fantasy VI/IX/XII director Hiroyuki Ito. Don’t go expecting…
One of the more unsung aspects of a company in any industry is their logo. Discovering the arrow in the FedEx logo can be a mind-shattering experience, and as video game fans we encounter logos and iconography pretty much whenever we start up anything. One of those I’ve been seeing…

My time with Monster Hunter Rise has been so joyous and smooth that I never would have guessed that the game would have so many bugs hidden away (technical bugs, that is; not the collectible insects!). Yet Capcom apparently continues to iron out a long list of glitches within its…
It’s harvest season, and what better game is there to celebrate with than rice-cultivating/demon-slaying indie wonder Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin?
