Loop Hero Proves That Roguelikes Are The Way Forward Now
You’ve probably heard of Loop Hero at this point, a charmingly retroish roguelike that’s a pain in the arse in the best possible way. Despite borrowing an enormous legion of ragtag bits and bobs from dozens of other games, it feels distinctly fresh and has a concrete sense of identity. I think it’s proof that […]
Octopath Traveler: Alfyn’s Story Was Actually Better Than Primrose’s Story If You Break It Down
Due to Octopath Traveler’s recent release on Xbox Game Pass, hype has resurfaced for the classic JRPG. I’m stoked to see many new players getting into Octopath Traveler, but I’m less stoked about seeing all the hype for Primrose’s storyline again. Primrose’s story includes plenty of attractive elements—she’s a dancer who seeks revenge for the murder of […]
I Have Made A Mess Of My Genshin Impact Teams – Here’s A Word Of Warning
Venti’s banner has returned to Genshin Impact, and I’m thrilled about it. I, once again, find myself pulling for a character that I could probably do without. It’s now that I realize I’ve only passed on two banners in Genshin Impact, Hu Tao and Albedo. I’ve had pretty good luck so far, and the only […]
I Wish More Pokemon Cities Were Like Goldenrod
Here at TheGamer.com, we recently wrote about how Sootopolis City was the greatest location in Pokemon history. I don’t necessarily disagree, but Sootopolis City has always irked me slightly, because here’s the thing – Sootopolis City isn’t a city. I live in Whitley Bay, and if you squint a little (okay, a lot), we’re basically […]
I Can’t Wait To Play Dungeons And Dragons With Steph Again In Life Is Strange: True Colors
If there’s one thing the Life Is Strange series does well, it’s constructing memorable side characters. I actually think there’s a lot of things Life Is Strange does well, with the first game’s uncompromising depiction of queer women and the second game’s unflinching portrayal of racism in America both displaying more bravery and honesty than […]
I Can’t Wait To Play As Iroh In The Avatar Tabletop RPG
In case you somehow haven’t heard yet, Avatar: The Last Airbender is being adapted into an all-new tabletop RPG. While details are scarce at the moment, we know that the game is set to provide us with a range of possible settings for our campaigns – for example, you can choose to drop your party […]
Pikmin Is Cool, But How About A Zelda AR Game?
Look, I get it. Pikmin is a beloved series based on parading legions of sentient plants around, which is a premise that can be translated to augmented reality pretty well. I mean, Olimar is in Super Smash Bros. and everything now, and his Smash kit alone is proof there’s a certain energy to Pikmin that […]
MLB The Show 21 Preview – Stadium Creator, Road To The Show, And How The Game Has Improved
Every year, MLB The Show attempts to shore up any shortcomings and build on the successes of the product from the prior year. 2021 represents not only the first step into the new generation of consoles, but also the first time the Sony-developed franchise comes to Xbox platforms. But MLB The Show 21 doesn’t stop […]
Ann Takamaki Should Have Been The Lead Of Persona 5
I have always liked Persona 5, but it never fully clicked with me enough for it to be a game that I could love. There are a few reasons for that, not least its sluggishly long runtime, but for the most part, I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. But after playing through Persona […]
