Star Overdrive (Switch) Review

When warmer weather comes to my area, the bulk of great games and movies seem to arrive on our screens. While looking through all of the upcoming releases, there was one title that stuck out to me above the rest. That title…

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) Review

I wrote a few intros for this review and kept deleting them. I don’t want to continue harping on the fantastic library of games the Wii U had. I don’t even want to talk about how despite its cult following, the Xenoblade Chronicles…

Atelier Yumia (Nintendo Switch) Review

I have loved the Atelier franchise since my mom bought Atelier Iris used at EB Games, sometime after its release in 2005. I remember it being tricky, since at the time there weren’t many copies due to the publisher (NIS America) being…
