Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PC) Review

2024 was the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Soul Reaver game. In celebration of this release, Aspyr released Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. This also marks the first “new” release in the Legacy of Kain franchise after it…

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Review

Donkey Kong Country Returns was first released for the Nintendo Wii in 2010, three years before it would appear again on the 3DS utilizing the handheld console’s 3D technology. At the time, it was nice to have the game as a handheld…

Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Xbox Series X) Review

One of my favorite game franchises of the PS2 era, Dynasty Warriors, gets a lot of flack from the larger gaming community. It’s a button masher; you’re facing mostly hordes of helpless enemies, and you’re simply spamming until you can hit a single…

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana (Nintendo Switch) Review

For Western gamers in the 90s and 2000s whose JRPG exposure was limited to the likes of Final Fantasy or Pokemon, the Ys series is like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Not getting into the Ys games myself until around 2018, I’m constantly…

Antonblast (PC) Review

Nostalgia drives a lot of indie titles, whether it’s horror games evoking PS1 graphics or 3D platformers capturing the feel of an N64 game. A particularly untapped area from the early 2000s era of gaming is the Game Boy Advance, a plucky…
