During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game. This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
At the end of Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out, there’s a special global event that all Trainers can partake in. Not quite a GO Fest or Tour, the GO Wild Area event is pulling some inspiration from the Safari Zone, but with a spotlight on Electric- and Poison-type Pokémon….

As the culture of gaming looks ever forward, innovating in both game design and technology, certain genres tend to be lost to time. From collectathon 3D platformers, to silly FMV titles, to arcade styled beat ‘em ups, certain types of games simply aren’t made anymore — unless it’s in the…
A lot of things have changed in 25 years, but Kirby’s not one of them. While his overall look has evolved, the formula of stress-free platforming and fun copy abilities has made him one of Nintendo’s most reliable. His titles are consistently “good” games that allow any and all to…
Bayonetta 2 is a game that deserved a second chance. While its release on the Wii U back in 2014 was one of my absolute favorite titles on the platform and was met with rave reviews across dozens of publications, the console’s low adoption rate caused it to be a…
It takes something really special to overpower any preconceived notions about a game’s genre and get me hooked on it. At face value, Dragon Quest Builders looks like a Minecraft rip-off covered in Dragon Quest’s timeless and charming art style. However, the game shirks off any notion that it’s just…
Disclaimer: This review of Fe is based on the PlayStation 4 version of the game. As soon as the Switch version is in hand, we’ll make sure to adjust the review (score included) accordingly, should there be any factor(s) that affect our opinions. Fe is a game I’ve had my…
In an age when games are announced and released in a few months’ time, made by hundreds of developers, and funded by a publisher looking at what’s most marketable rather than what will make the best game, we can always rely on the smaller indie gems to remind us of…
The point-and-click adventure genre has been a favorite of mine for many years now, but even its most ardent fans have to admit they can get pretty bloated at times. From ridiculous logic puzzles to slow navigation and instant death traps, it’s not uncommon to get exhausted. Spooky Doorway’s The…
Making decisions can be a draining, sometimes even painful task. Every choice puts us down a path and closes off another, weighing on you until the outcome plays out. This feels less weighty in games — after all, there’s usually just a “right” choice and that’s that. Radiant Historia was…
Platformers aren’t known for their riveting narratives. Push start, watch a brief introductory cinematic of nefarious ne’er-do-wells threatening the status quo, and it’s off to saving princesses, staking vampire lords and (Mega) busting up twirly mustached scientists. “Gameplay is king!” we shout, pledging our allegiance to the gods of gaming…
It’s easy to get lost in your own life. Sometimes plans don’t work out or you never really had one to begin with, making that awkward trek back to square one all the more frustrating. Doubly so when you stumble back into a place you thought you knew so well…
Square Enix has a rather long and industrious history when it comes to JRPGs, what with publishing the most prolific series in the genre ever and all. And after the waning of the genre in the new millennium, it was nice to see the company jump back into the fray…
As much of a dream come true Kirby’s 25th Anniversary has been when it comes to merchandise and events (in Japan at least), the game side of the celebration’s been lacking. 2017 saw two expanded sub-games released via the eShop, both of which left a lot to be desired, and…
