In Search of Departed Slime: Memories of Dragon Quest
Dragon Quest XI is out in English and that’s just the tops. I’m really looking forward to revisiting my 2017 GOTY in the coming weeks and months. Last year, I was living a different life. This year a lot has changed for me: I have a kid now, I changed jobs, and I’ve moved across […]

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Vita, and Windows Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is the latest entry in the now 30 year old series.

Drifting Lands – See You Space Cowboy
Drifting Lands is a side-scrolling shooter after my heart. It takes a side-scrolling shooter and adds in RPG and rogue-like elements and that should keep me coming back far longer than pattern recognition does. I stepped into it a few days ago and found myself backing away from it before I even got a chance […]
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Coming To Playstation 4 In 2018
It’s been an odd haul for the until-now arcade-only Dissidia Final Fantasy. The fighting game was built on modified Playstation 4 hardware, but it wasn’t until today that Square Enix announced that it will be coming to the Playstation 4 in 2018 as Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (which is somehow not the most unwieldy title in the […]

It’s story centers around a young man named Kanata who lives in a world that has parts of it, […]

Shadows of Adam Review
Platforms: Windows (reviewed), Mac, and Linux It’s been tough to find the time to go back to some of my favorite JRPG from my youth. While a single playthrough of Chrono Trigger can be done in less than 20 hours, I know myself well enough that not hitting the New Game Plus option to get the multiple […]
FuriousWang Plays Sweet Home – Complete Playthrough
Greetings and salutations! When October rolled around I felt it was time to do something a little more in spirit of the upcoming Halloween and so I began to play Sweet Home!
