I can't wait for Persona 5 Tactica even with the goofy chibi character models

When Atlus revealed Persona 5 Tactica at the Xbox Games Showcase in June, it caused a bit of a stir among the Persona fan base. On the one hand, it's a new Persona game, and that's awesome! On the other, a lot of fans weren't totally sold on the super-deformed chibi style for the new character models in this spin-off. Well, I can't speak for any other fans, but speaking for myself, I cannot wait.

It's free, but at what cost? Strange Hill is a cool adventure thriller with too many ads

Strange Hill is a story-driven adventure game with a lot of great ideas. You play as a young boy that rescues a talking robot that recently fell from the sky. Before long, he's fighting zombie rabbits, jumping through the sky, and uncovering incredibly weird secrets. It's a fun premise that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but I felt like my experience was constantly being interrupted by ads.

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.

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.

Brown Dust 2 is a gacha love letter to classic JRPGs

I'm totally unfamiliar with the original Brown Dust, but Brown Dust 2 has almost immediately and completely won me over as my favorite gacha game I've played since last year's Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. Like that game, Brown Dust 2 uses absolutely gorgeous hi-res pixel art and storytelling that feels like it comes from the Super Nintendo era of classic Japanese role-playing games.

This Fallout-style shooter has potential but a long way to go - Ashfall Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it for now, but it may be worth revisiting once it hits full release. Ashfall is a shooter MMORPG that reminds me of Fallout’s post-apocalyptic world and monsters. Despite its strong visual style and interesting story, Ashfall doesn’t manage to live up to its very lofty inspirations—at least not yet, in its beta test form. This game has all the potential in the world to grow into something enjoyable in the future, but its combat system and gameplay will need a lot of improvement before that happens.

This horror game set on Mars is giving me Alien vibes in the best way

I hadn't heard much about upcoming horror game Fort Solis until I saw the above trailer, but watch this thing and try not to get hyped. The game takes place on a mysteriously deserted mining base on Mars, and players take on the role of an astronaut named Jake sent to investigate what happened. The trailer leaves it unclear what the actual threat lurking within Fort Solis is, which is great in my opinion. Let me be surprised when I play the actual game! But whatever it is, I'm getting

A beautifully illustrated RPG about the grim realities of life during war? Sign us up!

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.

Meet the next contender for Genshin Impact’s crown

SHOULD I PLAY CRYSTAL OF ATLAN? Absolutely play it once you get the chance! If the ongoing technical beta test is anything to go by, Crystal of Atlan may be the strongest action-RPG competition Genshin Impact has faced since Tower of Fantasy. While it’s too early to say whether Atlan can actually surpass Genshin, I feel confident that it’s well-designed enough to deserve your time and consideration.

100 detectives vs 100 criminals? Methods: The Detective Competition is the ultimate mystery game

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.

DREAD DELUSION - AN UPHILL BATTLE WITH YOUR SANITY

A sincerely fantastic game that is genuinely being ruined by the lack of combat based leveling along side a mindlessly numb soundtrack that does nothing for you. Dread Delusion had so much potential and it was effectively tossed aside. Consider following on other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:

Would you kill a princess to save the world? Slay the Princess is game about impossible choices

SHOULD I PLAY SLAY THE PRINCESS? If you have even a passing interest in choice-based games, Slay the Princess is a must-play. When the game begins, you’re on a path towards a cabin hidden deep in the woods. When you reach that cabin, you’ll find a princess, and when you meet her, a mysterious voice tells you that she’s destined to end the world. Will you slay her, or will you save her? It’s a simple enough question, but somehow, the game stretches it to endless possibilities. What happens if you start to save her, but change your mind? What if you don’t go to the cabin at all?

A First Look @ Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical

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.

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.

Stray Gods - A Broadway Style Musical Murder Mystery

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.

A fun shooter with a little bit of everything - even time travel and dinos! - Exoprimal Quick Review

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.

FMV games are the perfect way to solve a good mystery

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
