Ubisoft’s Rayman has always been a victim of circumstance that succeeded against all odds.

Even amidst skepticism, Rayman…

Sure some have their prominence, particularly platformers, but it’s when they try something different that really gets my attention. That goes double for when a game never manages to leave Japan, becoming this…
It’s a great summer for Switch owners, and that’s even before Nintendo’s E3 Direct in just a couple of weeks. Part of that, for me, is NEO: The World Ends with You. This long-awaited follow up to the DS favorite is moving years and streets ahead for Shibuya, expanding its…
