FFXIV Endwalker review – end times in Eorzea

Ten years. Ten years have passed since the Warriors of Light began their journey in Final Fantasy XIV Online. That journey got off to a rotten start, but after a soft reboot in 2013, this beloved MMO just keeps getting better. Eight years, 25 million registered players, and now four expansions later, the story arc that began with A Realm Reborn finally comes to an end, and somehow, somehow, Square Enix has done it justice. A new threat, the prophesied Final Days, is at the heart of Endwalker’s

Review | The Gardens Between (IOS/Android) —

The only glaring gameplay issue is the fixed camera, something that should have been more freely controllable to allow players to better grasp the obstacles in a level. This especially becomes an issue when you are forced to rely on trial and error guesswork to deduce puzzles with multiple choices. Repeating these sections adds an unnecessary layer of chance in a game that otherwise relies purely on accuracy. However, those moments are infrequent as the game usually succeeds at demanding your ac

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in The Dark Review

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in The Dark Review When I was a kid of no more than eight years old, my mom recommended that I read Agatha Christie’s “The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding and a Selection of Entrées”. It was a collection of short stories that, while didn’t embody the complexity that her other books presented, still exposed me to a whole new world of the murder mystery genre. The tone may differ, and its protagonist nowhere near comparable to any literary equivalent, but The D

Bonkies Review

Monkeys in space. They have jetpacks, and they build things. Well, that’s it, that’s the review folks, pack your things up. I mean honestly, who would need any more reasons to play this game? *checks notes* Oh, my editor, apparently. (Editors Note: I’m sold, to be honest) Developed by the folks at Studio Gauntlet and published by Crunching Koalas, Bonkies brings a very fun and lighthearted co-op building game, where we take the role of a jetpack-powered monkey astronaut travelling through

Ocean's Heart Review

It all begins when Tilia departs from her homeland to find her father and her best friend, both kidnapped by Blackbeard’s Hourglass Pirates. From that point, a massive conspiracy starts to unfold, and an adventure full of magic and challenges awaits us in Ocean’s Heart, the latest project from the solo developer Max Mraz, and published by the folks at Nordcurrent. Being an RPG heavily inspired by the classic The Legend of Zelda series, Ocean’s Heart shares many common traits with its muse. A he

Sunlight Review

“Hello. Are you sitting comfortably? Are you focused, and not thinking about whatever’s bothering you these days? I’m not here to test you; please relax.” As a gentle, relaxed voice received me with those words, my journey in Sunlight began. Developed by Krillbite Studios and an indirect sequel of their previous game The Plan, Sunlight brings an exciting perspective on walking simulators. Far from replicating the environments in their past work such as the terrorizing atmosphere in Among The S

El Hijo - A Wild West Tale Review

With his life turned upside down after he’s being left in an orphanage, El Hijo escapes and embarks on a journey to reunite with his mom and uncover what’s going on with the shady folks that burned down their house. This beautifully animated game from Honig Studios and Quantumfrog brings a non-violent stealth adventure, showing […] With his life turned upside down after he’s being left in an orphanage, El Hijo escapes and embarks on a journey to reunite with his mom and uncover what’s going on

Ooblets Review

This all begins when you land in the mainland Oob. You are a newcomer wanting to get out of your homeland in Ahroh Island in order to travel to new places, and as soon as you meet the mayor of this quaint place you’re given a farmhouse and land to maintain and, as you choose a club, your first Ooblet. But, first and foremost, what’s an Ooblet? As it turns out, Ooblets are creatures that are born from seeds like any plant, but they interact with you and follow you on your endeavours across t

of: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

No info, no camp, no way to go back. That’s how my hunter landed on Hoarfrost Reach when I started Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. At this point, I’m no stranger to this kind of transition between ranks within the franchise, and this game isn’t even the most unforgiving of all of them. The rank system always worked like this: you reach a certain point where you have to go into upper layers of difficulty and the way you act in combat must advance as well; having no levels nor any form of experie

of: Catherine

Morality. That little voice in your head that tells you to do or not to do things in different situations. The compass of decency, pointing out the obvious choices that the righteous people would take in the day-to-day in order to live as peacefully as possible, with ourselves and others. In Catherine, we are tempted so many times to ignore that voice, that I felt the urge to confess in a church at the end. Well, maybe not, but it was pretty bad. To be fair: I never played this game before, even

Interview: Warframe Sets Its Future in Motion with The New War

Warframe “The New War” releases next week. With it comes the long-awaited climax of the game’s years-long story arc, alongside a mission that forces the Tenno to face their most dangerous enemies: the Sentients.

We attended a preview event that showcased several things this expa

Santi Leguiza's Year in Games | Winter Spectacular 2020 —

March 19th. My country officially started lockdown. The uncertainty about our future, the misinformation, and the raw, animal fear that the pandemic brings with it terrorised everyone. That’s exactly the situation we were in when Animal Crossing: New Horizons arrived in my life, which of course, is one of the most ridiculous ironies, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. From collecting butterflies to crafting furniture of different colours and going through the many interactions with my fel

Warframe: Flying Through An Endless Space —

There I was, seven years ago, looking right at the most beautiful depiction of the infinite, walking in the skin of a futuristic ninja, prepared for sailing to the stars. Of course, the game wasn’t that big at the time. As it happens, Warframe had a notoriously long journey from their humble beginnings to where they are now. Many mechanics had to be crafted and upgraded along with a steady flow of content and new gameplay introductions, as well as graphical improvements that renewed the game wit

Red Dead Redemption 2's Depiction of Sexual Assault is Careless

When we talk about realistic visuals and situations in video games, we often relate that to an excellent work of development and game design. Studios bring experiences to us where we get immersed in alternate realities, and sometimes those realities look very close to the real world. But where is the limit in portraying realistic situations, and where’s the limit on how far a studio could go? Recently, I ended up watching a very disturbing scene in Red Dead Redemption 2. Some studios are known f
