Attention Atelier fans! This cozy crafting RPG is a must-play

SHOULD I PLAY WITCHSPRING R? WitchSpring R instantly reminded me of the Atelier series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you won’t want to miss this one. It’s an incredibly cute and charming RPG, but it’s not shallow either. There’s real depth to its gameplay and characters, and its story is much more interesting than it initially seems to be. It’s a great mix of a fantasy adventure and a slice-of-life story, and that combination is hard to resist.

Insomniac hacks reveal Marvel's Spider-Man 3, an X-Men game, multiplayer projects, and even more

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.

Highly recommended if you are a fellow VN enjoyer. The combat system is kinda meh, but the fantastic storytelling makes up for it. With that being said, if you're not interested in reading the story then this game is probably not for you.

I want to nominate this game. This game was recently launched globally in the month of May, 2022. Since then many events and updates were held. The story, for once, is decent, with an exceptional plot of once sacrifice for her kingdom in hopes that it will bloom again somewhere, as she left it's last hope in our(protagonist) hands. As the story progresses with various side missions, we remove curtains from various dark works of evil forces that prevents us from saving the world.

Make delicious food in this short but heartfelt narrative cooking game - Venba Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of visual novels or cooking games, or just want to see some amazing-looking food. Venba is a game about food, but it puts just as much care into its narrative as it does into its dishes. It follows Venba and Paavalan, an immigrant couple struggling to adjust to life in Canada. Venba uses her mother’s old recipe book as a way to stay connected to her culture. Later on, as their family expands,

The Power of Narrative (Story) Transforming Games and Connecting Players

Games are like exciting adventures, with cool graphics and fun ways to play. But don't forget about the story – it's like the backbone of the adventure. A good story in a game can make you feel like you're really part of the action, not just watching. Imagine being taken to different worlds when you play a game. A good story does that – it lets you escape from real life for a bit. When the story is mixed well into the game, you feel like you're not just watching; you're in control, making choices, and caring about what happens.
The Power of Narrative (Story) Transforming Games and Connecting Players
Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

Civilization’s grand strategy meets QAnon-style conspiracy theories in this wonderful, weird game

SHOULD I PLAY THE FABULOUS FEAR MACHINE? Definitely give this game a shot if you enjoy pulp comics and grand strategy games. The Fabulous Fear Machine was created by Fictorama Studios, the same developers behind the equally unhinged and enjoyable Do Not Feed the Monkeys games. Like that game, The Fabulous Fear Machine is all about being in charge of a force with the power to shape the world. This time, though, you control that force on a much broader scale, slowly spreading your dark influence across a series of regional maps. It’s a brilliant twist that blends together

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising may be the best way to experience the Granblue Fantasy world yet

Arc System Works is a legendary fighting game developer, so it was no surprise when they released a killer spin-off of Granblue Fantasy in 2020. After all, this is one of the most well-loved mobile RPGs ever made, even though it's technically never received an official release in North America. But a gorgeous, anime-style fighting game? That was the perfect way to appreciate this incredibly deep world developer Cygames had created.

The Legend of Zelda meets tower defense in the delightful Dwerve - Pocket Playfest

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

IN STARS AND TIME: Don't miss this Heartbreaking Adventure

If you're the kind to dismiss games because they don't fit your specific interests without giving them a chance to welcome you into their worlds, there's not much to say other that you won't like this game. In Stars and Time is about time and change. You're trapped in a time loop, and you'll go to any length to save your allies. Nothing would make you happier than breaking free from this terrible cycle. As you lose yourself in this never-ending misery, you can't help but be sucked back in for hours, days, months, and years. Repeating the same day over and over, with no apparent end in sight as you see the ones around you and most important yourself, suffering a great burden. It has the same vibe as Undertale, DeltaRune, Omori, OneShot, Earthbound, and many other games, but it still seems distinct and creative.
IN STARS AND TIME: Don't miss this Heartbreaking Adventure
Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story is truly amazing, and impactful! 2. The voice acting is amazing! 3. The music is riveting in battle! 4. The combat is simple but very engaging nonetheless! 5. The various functions in the outpost make this game so much easier to enjoy! 6. The characters look amazing! 7. The game itself is very beautiful! 8. Most of the characters have their own back story, which really makes you remember a character when they are not in your midst, or at least "bond" with them. 9. There are animated cutscenes from time to time. 10. The occasional texts from Nikkes is pretty refreshing sometimes. 11. The chibi models are cute. 12 The synchro device is amazing! The five highest level Nikkes are automatically allocated to the device, to which you can then add any Nikke in an empty slot, and they will be "synced" to that level. That only applies so long as they are in a slot, removing them will return them to their original level. This means you don't have to always upgrade/level up a Nikke to increase their level. Dislikes: A lot of reliance on stats to progress. 2. The SSR molds don't guarantee an SSR Nikke. Now a few important notes/tips: This is an idle game at heart, despite the gameplay being shooter action rpg, so if idle games are not your thing, this may not be for you. 2. Resources are valuable/scare, so spend sparingly. 3. As an idle game, you are not meant to plow through the campaign. 4. The story itself can be very heartbreaking, so if you are faint of heart, either look away, or tread carefully. Finally, this game isn't challenging for the most part, but requires patience above all else. Also, I am in chapter 5, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

A better-than-average gacha that could use more content

Grand Quest just entered open beta, and as someone who's always searching for my next go-to gacha game, I had to give it a shot. So far, I'm definitely pretty impressed, though it has some work to go. Perhaps the biggest surprise in Grand Quest, especially when compared to other gacha games, is that the story is pretty entertaining and well-translated. Much of it is told through stylish comic book-panel cutscenes, and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying getting to know these characters.

Mickey Mouse plus Metroidvania? It’s better than you’d think - Disney Ilusion Island Quick Review

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.

I 鰐 HUG THAT GATOR - EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED ME!

It's not surprising. The game itself, while appearing to be more parodic than serious at times, had some of the most profoundly compelling ways of tearing me away from myself and forcing me to reflect on what my life had become over the years. If you enjoy well-written visual novels with plenty of personality and character, all for the purpose of love, you'll adore this game so please check it out on Steam!
