Personally I've don't often play fighting games because they're not my favorite style of genre. Not that I don't play ever; it's just not a thing I am ever really interested in. So when I learned that BlazBlue had a new title and genre, I was surprised. Developers rarely step outside of their comfort zone in an attempt to explore new things, particularly at the level that Entropy Effect provides in terms of story, visual flair, and build customization or just overall gameplay challenge.

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.

SHOULD I PLAY BORN OF BREAD? Born of Bread feels like an unofficial successor to the Paper Mario series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you’ll definitely want to check it out. There were times when I thought Born of Bread could’ve used a little more time in the oven, but I was still won over by its playful dialogue and loveable cast of characters. If you dig games with a wacky, silly sense of humor, this is going to charm you too.

SHOULD I PLAY UGLY? Give Ugly a go if you’re into platformers, puzzlers, or dark fairy-tale worlds. Even though controlling two characters simultaneously in a mirrored world can be incredibly disorienting, Ugly’s puzzle mechanics are truly unique and blend perfectly with the game’s dark atmosphere. And though I wouldn't classify Ugly as horror, there were still plenty of twisted memories to unlock that genuinely gave me the creeps.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? If you’ve got any appreciation for the Metroidvania style of game at all, then you owe it to yourself to play Afterimage. Coming off a successful Kickstarter campaign just a year ago, developer Aurogon Shanghai has released the next masterpiece in a masterpiece-heavy genre. With tight controls, compelling progression and exploration, and especially a stunning hand-drawn art style, Afterimage pays homage to the classics while also undeniably forging its own strong identity via a fascinating and diverse fantasy world. It’s really good.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is Koei Tecmo's upcoming action RPG and one of the latest developments in Type-Moon's Fate series. Unlike previous installments, Fate/Samurai Remnant takes place further in the past during the Edo period in the mid-17th century, and features traditional Japanese themes and styles. As someone that's watched the anime series from time to time, I'm particularly interested in how this game will build on the Fate series and what combat could be like in the Edo period. I think the visuals are pretty cool too. The vibrant colors mixed with the anime-style look, makes the game appealing but not too far from any of the other Fate games or shows.

SHOULD I PLAY DANMACHI BATTLE CHRONICLE? Only play it if you really like DanMachi. DanMachi Battle Chronicle is a visually stunning gacha game based on the popular light novel/manga/anime series DanMachi or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? in its full English title. The game features a well-made story backed by great voice acting and cutscenes, but it falls short with everything else: repetitive gameplay, slow progression, limited content, and a poorly designed shop.

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.

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,

Lisa: the Painful is an unrelenting expression of the world’s unfairness. It stacks all the odds against you from the very start, and no matter what you do, things won’t always go right. Minor bosses can destroy your team with insta-death moves, permanently killing party members. Resting at a campsite heals your party and removes negative status effects, but it also leaves you vulnerable to kidnapping attempts or poisonous bug bites. It’s a game where you can lose everything in an instant through no fault of your own.

SHOULD I PLAY ATLAS WEPT? If you’re a fan of EarthBound, Undertale, and other quirky turn-based RPGs, this is definitely a title you should take a look at. Atlas Wept is a pixelated RPG with strong retro vibes. The story alternates between two distinct casts of characters as they embark on a strange adventure. The groups haven’t crossed paths quite yet in my playthrough, but I suspect they’ll run into each other eventually. There’s a free demo available on Steam, so if this game has sparked your curiosity, you should definitely give it a try.

Embarking on the digital odyssey of "Father and Son" was more than just playing a game; it was an emotional pilgrimage. Having lost my father in October 2023, the parallels with the protagonist's quest for his own paternal history struck deep chords of emotion. The game became a poignant exploration of both the tangible artifacts in Naples' Archaeological Museum and the intangible relics of my own memories.

One of my favorite game with a Horrifying story and a lot of mysteries. The perspective of the ex-novelist Detective Orpheus, who has been commissioned to find Mr. Reichenbach's missing daughter. However, the mystery deepens as he finds and reads a series of mysterious diaries within Oletus Manor. It soon becomes apparent that a strange game was held within the manor, where people risk their lives in order to obtain a wish or reward of their deepest desire. It also becomes clear that Orpheus has his own secrets...

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Exoprimal combines the fast-paced sci-fi shooting action of Titanfall 2 with the team-based gameplay of Overwatch and adds its own twist with dinosaurs and multidimensional time travel. Even with some issues—slow progression, unbalanced characters, and messy gameplay modes—this mix of great elements from other games with its own unique style provides an insanely entertaining time.

Join Pieberry, a charming white-haired witch with bunny ears, as she embarks on a whimsical journey in a forest teeming with monsters. Her desire to explore the human realm and relive childhood memories begins your enthralling adventure. 🌲🔮 🗡️ FIGHT - Simulations and Battling:

SHOULD I PLAY BLAZBLUE ENTROPY EFFECT? Definitely give this one a shot if you’re a fan of great roguelites or the action-packed anime aesthetic of the BlazBlue series. This spin-off, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, sees familiar characters, move sets, and thumb-crushing combos of the BlazBlue fighting games translated into a roguelite action game formula. That makes for a challenging experience, but thanks to a tightly designed progression system and an intriguing story, I found it hard to put this game down.

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.

Hey folks, thanks for tapping and tuning in as I dive headlong into Summerfall Studios' recently released Visual Novel, Stray Gods - A Musical RPG. And they're not kidding on that front- so bear with me. An Inspired Investigation Stray Gods tells the story of Grace, whose mundane life as a would-be singer is abruptly de-railed due to a chance encounter with Calliope, The Last Muse.  Last, because the old Greek Pantheons are real, and not -quite- as immortal as previously rumoured. A trend which continues to hold true, given Callope's blood winds up literally (but not figuratively) on Graces' hands.

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

VideoGameDunky is someone I can truly relate to; he began his career as a League of Legends content creator and streamer before transitioning to a satirical approach to video game reviews, to the point where half of the community around him felt serious and the other half felt like memes, making it difficult to differentiate from whether his reviews were genuine or just him being overly silly with jokes and humor.
