The studio’s latest entry continues this tradition, promising an experience that builds on its predecessor while introducing new elements to keep players engaged.

[Preview] Reynatis

Elias — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 17:14:12 +0000

Battling through modern-day Shibuya may seem like a fantastical story to some, but for fans of Japanese games, Reynatis may not be their first battle down the iconic streets of Japan’s most cutting-edge cultural hub. The region’s layout is as true to the real Shibuya as possible – and traversing its streets might just feel a bit more magical than...

[Preview] Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

Reina Proctor — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 19:30:37 +0000

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is certainly one of the more interesting games I have had the chance to play in recent times. It is the definitive-edition of the original game released in November 2021 for Switch. The new version will include all the DLC, but even more significantly, a brand-new story campaign. I admittedly did not have a ton...

[Preview] Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble

Reina Proctor — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:00:47 +0000

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble has a relatively complicated road ahead of it. It is the first brand new game in the series in nearly twelve years, and trying to balance its new content on top of reconnecting the series to its roots. Based on my recent one-hour preview, it seems to be living up to the task. While Banana...

[Preview] Roman Sands RE:Build

Nicholas Serpa — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 23:04:37 +0000

Roman Sands RE:Build is one of the strangest games I’ve played in a while, and that’s saying something, because I’ve played a lot of weird games lately. On a surface level, this first-person adventure appears to be an eccentric experience about performing menial tasks for the entitled guests of a strange luxury resort. It quickly becomes apparent that there’s much more going...

[Preview] Two Strikes brutal ballet of bloody combat is a blast to play

Nicholas Serpa — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 16:00:51 +0000

Typically when I’m playing a fighting game, it doesn’t take much to recover from a sloppy combo or a mild beating from an opponent; there are usually plenty of chances to get my fighter back on their feet when my skills inevitably lapse. Two Strikes, on the other hand, isn’t quite so merciful. This upcoming fighting game from Retro Reactor...

[Preview] Dome-King Cabbage

Nicholas Serpa — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 17:00:13 +0000

“My first memory is of a toy… at least, I think it is.” Those are among the first words uttered in Dome-King Cabbage, a surreal visual novel that has a wholly unique sense of style unlike anything else in the genre. Created by solo developer Joe Buchholz (also known as Cobysoft Joe), Dome-King Cabbage feels like the type of strange,...

[Preview] Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story

Nicholas Serpa — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 19:07:56 +0000

The historical preservation of video games has increasingly become a widespread concern in recent years, due in no small part to the closure of legacy digital storefronts, the frequent delisting of digital games and server shutdowns galore. But beyond that, there’s a real risk that decades of game history from the 20th century will eventually be lost or widely inaccessible...

[Preview] 6 compelling indies we played at Day of the Devs 2023

Nicholas Serpa — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 17:00:20 +0000

Earlier this month, Nintendo Everything dropped by the Day of The Devs indie showcase event in Los Angeles to demo some upcoming Switch games from small teams all over the globe. We played a staggering variety of games and had a chance to chat with some of the developers behind unique titles like Dome-King Cabbage and Resistor, and will be...

[Preview] Hands-on with Resistor, an ambitious racing RPG

Nicholas Serpa — Sat, 23 Dec 2023 17:00:59 +0000

It feels like racing games are often excused from needing to tell stories; even as players, we’ve been trained to expect little more from the genre than schlocky tales of midnight street racing, if there’s even any context to the action at all. That can be just fine as many players only care about the feel of the driving, but...
