It’s been only a couple of months since Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood launched, but for some of us it feels like a lot longer. As good as this expansion is, some of the most anticipated content wasn’t due until the first major patch. Patch 4.1 hasn’t taken any longer than …
To this day, the best take on the increasingly popular “people trapped in an MMO game” premise is Star Ocean 3. The big twist in that game (spoiler alert for a 14-year-old game, yadda yadda) was that the main characters are actually NPCs in an MMO game of sorts, and …

I’m loving this new trend towards less-violent shooting games. There’s something inherently exciting about shooting game mechanics, but they’re almost always tied to violence—understandably so, given the genre’s origins, but it’s always nice to see games question the ubiquity and necessity of violence as the main form of interaction.

With Final Fantasy XIV’s latest patch comes a new level 70 dungeon, The Drowned City of Skalla. Found beneath the waters of Loch Seld (and unlocked through main story quest progression), Skalla takes place in the ruins of an old city that was swallowed by a flood, as players search …
When Square Enix announced Life is Strange: Before the Storm, I was skeptical for a whole bunch of reasons. Chief among them was the the question of how much the original game could gain from a prequel, compared to how much it stood to lose. Life is Strange left a …
Moero Chronicle is a lewd game. It knows this and it owns it, and there’s something refreshing about that. This is an ecchi game through and through: it’s full of scantily-clad women and liberally employs clothing destruction and rubbing mechanics. That’s obviously not going to be for everyone, but Moero …
When it first came out a couple of years ago, Pillars of Eternity was widely praised, and for good reason. Many a game tries to capture the magic of Infinity Engine games like Baldur’s Gate, but more often than not, it’s a superficial homage that begins and ends with an …
In a combination of moreishness and nostalgia, I followed up SteamWorld Dig 2 by immediately firing up SteamWorld Dig for the first time in years. I knew that the new game was an improvement over the same ideas that drove the original—such is the way with sequels, generally—but I didn’t …
