Romcom Anime to Watch in April 2023

As the Spring season is finally here, so is a lot of great anime to watch. My Hero Academia just wrapped up its sixth season, whereas Attack on Titan is finally nearing its end. In the meantime, the romantic comedy genre is still going strong…

Ravenbound (PC) Review

Of all the Roguelikes and Roguelites I’ve played over the years, most are 2D dungeon crawlers or side-scrollers, each with something subtle to set them apart from the pack. Ravenbound is more than just subtle in its uniqueness. It’s a 3D open-world Action…

EVERSPACE 2 (PC) Review

Some games only spend a year or so in Early Access before they’re ready. Others have been there for a decade and might never release. In the case of EVERSPACE 2, it sat in Early Access for almost 3 years, but the space…

Road 96: Mile 0 (PC) Review

One of the few games I’ve given a perfect 10 reviewing here was Sayonara: Wild Hearts, a title with gameplay I can’t get out of my head and a heartfelt emotional experience. With only a gameplay trailer to go off of, I saw Road…

Mr. Saitou (PC) Review

One type of game I’m never going to get sick of is the short-form emotional adventure genre. It’s way easier to evoke emotion from a game that’s taken in a short burst as opposed to a 100-hour open-world jaunt. I often feel…

Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro – 2nd Attack Review

In a heavy anime season, the one I looked forward to the most every week was Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro – 2nd Attack. The long-awaited second season of the polarizing anime had a lot of ground to cover as the manga…

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague Review

On the massive romantic-comedy anime deep-dive I’ve made over the past few months, it’s been a thrill waiting for a weekly episode from the likes of Tomo-Chan is a Girl, Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro – 2nd Attack, and Kubo Won’t Let Me…

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix (PS5) Review

Scantily-clad anime girls with tons of cutscenes that do battle with a deep combat system… where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, Hyperdimension Neptunia has been doing that for a decade. This time around, a new franchise enters the fray: Alice…

ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni (PC) Review

Have you ever played a PC game that doesn’t have a display menu? How about when that same game is graphically demanding, has intense combat, and switches its framerate from 30 to 60 on a whim? That’s the case with ONI: Road…

Romancelvania (PS5) Review

What if instead of fighting monsters in Transylvania, you could fall in love with them? You may have spent Undertale making friends with your enemies, but in Romancelvania, you’re going to have to fall head over heels for a legendary, supernatural baddie. You’ll have a…
