Octopath Traveler Review: Divide And Conquer

Retro throwbacks rarely go for the mid-’90s mix of 2D sprites and low-res 3D models, but along comes Octopath Traveler, a game that manages to both faithfully recreate the aesthetic and add to it in subtle yet meaningful ways. It’s a…

Life Is Strange 2: Episode 3 Review – Choosing Sides

The third episode of Life Is Strange 2 takes place two months after we last saw Sean Diaz and his little brother Daniel escaping Beaver Creek, Oregon because of yet another plan gone wrong. There’s a lot to get caught up on…

Fighting EX Layer Review: One-On-One Fun

One of the most macabre scenes in A Plague Tale: Innocence is the eponymous plague, manifesting in the form of cursed rats. These vermin have a malevolent, otherworldly presence, their incessant screeching and scratching on stone pavements and atop piles of corpses…

Sonic Mania Plus Review – Encore! Encore!
