Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is an interesting addition to the narrative storytelling genre - as it takes the choose-your-own-adventure format that a number of players may associate with Telltale-esque formats, and turns it into a Broadway-style musical. And the brilliant thing in all of this, is that it meshes seamlessly with the narrative. See, the protagonist, Grace, finds herself stuck in the midst of a murder mystery - one where she's the prime suspect, due to the victim dying rather literally on her doorstep. While already a problem, it's further compounded due to it being Calliope, The Last Muse, a member of the now dwindling Greek Pantheon. With only a week to prove her innocence, she must rely on her wits - and the vestiges of the muse. Namely, the ability to force those she encounters to sing from the heart. That said, that's hardly the extent of Stray gods' cleverness. As I mentioned earlier, this title belongs to the interactive fiction genre - with the typical trappings of making choices in order to progress forward through the narrative. That said, very early on in the game, you'll be given the option between a trio of Character Traits, being Charismatic, Clever, or Kickass - which provide access to dialogue options that would otherwise be barred to you. Here's the thing, though- these dialogue options -also- apply to the musical numbers, changing up the overall tone, and even imagery of those segments to a considerable degree. Admittedly, the song segments might be slightly stressful for some folks- since they are wholly comprised of timed dialogue elements- but, that decision ultimately feels like the correct one, given that it allows for a sense of musical flow. On the other side of things, you can actually disable the timed segments which crop up in the midst of normal dialogue. That said, while I mentioned that there's a certain brilliance to how it addresses the matter of player agency, this is also where the experience starts to fray. You won't necessarily notice it during your initial playthrough of the game, but once you loop around to the second, it becomes rather apparent that regardless of your choices, the outcomes turn out largely the same. While there are certainly elements that can go awry as you progress, these ultimately don't do anything to direct the course of the story one way or the other - having more of an influence on the final act and the ensuing epilogue, then anything else. That said, I do want to be clear here- this isn't an attempt to dissuade someone from trying it. On the whole- Stray Gods remains a fascinating and altogether solid first entry for Summerfall studios. That said, it would have highly benefited from a more efficient means of navigating the story and it's permutations, rather than locking players into playthroughs where it will take a notable amount of time to start making choices that feel impactful.  Especially given that you're unable to skip the song segments, which adds a significant amount of waiting time if youre truly intent on seeing everything.

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for mysteries. There’s a puzzle-solving element to a good whodunit that makes it feel like a game, even when I’m actually reading a book or watching a movie. The best mysteries are a challenge between me and the detective, and they’re a blast to experience, even if I’m the one that loses. Lately, I’ve been keeping myself busy with The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story

Guardian tales.Got a lot of internet jokes with it's story,and sometimes funny sometimes sad well only if you could hold the amount of grinding for a character tho

SHOULD I PLAY THE INVINCIBLE? Play it if you’re a fan of old-school hard science fiction, but skip it if you’re not big on interactive fiction. The Invincible tells a slow-paced but fascinating story based on the Stanislaw Lem novel of the same name. Dr. Yasna, a biologist on an interstellar mission, wakes up alone on a strange planet with no memory of how she got there. It’s a fantastic premise, and the story is expertly told, but the gameplay doesn’t always live up to the quality of the narrative. It’s not for everyone, but if you’ve enjoyed other walking simulators like

One of the great things about video games is that they can cover so much territory. Take RPGs for example. You've got high fantasy escapism in series like Final Fantasy, epic sci-fi dreams of the future in stuff like Mass Effect, and strange musings on philosophy and politics in a game like Disco Elysium. Long Gone Days doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, though it's closest to the last one. This ambitious RPG follows a young man named Rourke who's been trained from birth to be a living weapon of war. Once Rourke is actually sent into battle, though, he finds himself conflicted as he comes face-to-face with disturbing realities of wartime.

SHOULD I PLAY GRANBLUE FANTASY: RELINK? Absolutely check out Granblue Fantasy: Relink if you even remotely enjoy Japanese-style RPGs or just games with great action RPG combat systems. As a spin-off of the Granblue Fantasy mobile game that’s been running for almost a decade now, getting thrown right into the middle of this story might feel a little confusing at first. But developer Cygames uses this history to its advantage, presenting a world that feels complex and interesting to explore. Plus it’s populated by massive, godlike monsters in need of being hacked and slashed to death. Bonus!

SHOULD I PLAY MOONLIGHT BLADE? Eh, you could do worse, but you could also probably do better. If you’re desperate for a power-grind, free-to-play MMO to play on your phone, Moonlight Blade is a totally solid if unimpressive option. With a setting in historical China and a focus that expands beyond just combat, this is much better than other recent mobile MMOs, but it’s not likely to keep you engaged long-term unless your phone is your only gaming platform.

Sony-owned developer Insomniac Games has had a pretty good year, what with the release of the much-loved Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and increasing hype for the previously announced Marvel's Wolverine (image from the trailer above). 2023 is ending on a bit of a frustrating note for Insomniac, though, albeit one that will just make gamers more hype: A massive leak has revealed no less than six upcoming games from the studio, several of which are unannounced.

Hey everyone! Some games are all about action and excitement, but Endling: Extinction is Forever takes a completely different approach. It’s not about being the hero or slaying monsters this is a survival game that hits you right in the heart. I played this game a year ago if I remember right, and let me tell you it’s an emotional game. It’s beautiful, haunting, and sometimes painful to play. But it actually great game that take a different sad approach.

You have never experienced a story like this.    It is a solid old-school RPG in which you wake up in a morgue and with no memory and must uncover your past, the mystery of your immortality and who's trying to kill you, all set in the fantasy planes of AD&D.

SHOULD I PLAY SWORD ART ONLINE LAST RECOLLECTION? Play it, especially if you’re a fan of the Sword Art Online anime/manga/light novel series. Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is an action RPG set during the third season of the anime. It’s a great representation of the series, but it suffers in a few ways mostly tied to its presentation: ugly visuals, poor animation, and delayed actions. I’d still recommend it to fans of the series, though, who’ll find plenty to enjoy here.

SHOULD I PLAY YES, YOUR GRACE? Check it out if you like choice-based games and court intrigue. Yes, Your Grace is a kingdom management RPG where you respond to requests from your loyal—and not-so-loyal—subjects. There aren’t enough resources to give everyone what they need, and that means making some tough decisions. If you’re a fan of Reigns or similar titles, you should definitely give this a try.

I realize that headline might be a little provocative. Gaming’s greatest series? Really? Well, yes. For my money, at least, no single franchise has had a larger impact on my personal life in video games than Final Fantasy. The original game introduced me to Japanese RPGs. Final Fantasy VI taught me how much a video game story could affect me. Final Fantasy XIV is probably the best MMORPG ever made.

Everyone knows Link is the legendary Hero of Time, and everyone knows that a hero of his stature needs a badass weapon. Thus, the Master Sword. But what if our favorite hero didn’t have a Master Sword? In fact, what if he couldn’t really use weapons at all. The delightful and charming Dwerve answers that question, and it turns out the answer is a lot of challenging fun inspired by great tower defense games just as much as it is by classics like

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Disney Illusion Island is a charming, cartoony platformer starring iconic characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. This enchanting Metroidvania only falls slightly short due to its lack of difficulty and lightly repetitive gameplay. Regardless of those issues, it’s one of my favorite games to play with friends right now and one of the best platformer titles I’ve encountered this year.

SHOULD I PLAY METHODS: DETECTIVE COMPETITION? Play it if you like mystery games with a sense of humor. In Methods: Detective Competition, one hundred detectives face off against one hundred master criminals. As you might expect, this plot requires a huge cast of characters, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know all of them. It’s more like a visual novel than an investigation game, but it’s still given me plenty of chances to test out my sleuthing skills.
