Review by Harvard L. It’s that time of year again – an open-world game from Ubisoft, this time in its Ghost Recon franchise. Breakpoint is a direct sequel to 2017’s Wildlands, and aims to be a more tactical, action focused alternative to the wacky emergent gameplay of last year’s Far…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Code Vein has been a long time in coming. Developed by Bandai Namco, the company decided it was time to make its own Soulsborne instead of simply publishing yet another one. It’s one of the first anime-styled Soulsbornes, and through it we see just how far…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. GreedFall comes from developer Spiders, the team behind The Technomancer, Mars: War Logs, Of Orcs and Men and Bound By Flame. Just like each of those, GreedFall also offers a unique perspective to the genre. It may seem like yet another 17th century-based fantasy at first…

Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Remnant: From the Ashes is one of those titles that will probably wind up being somewhat of a sleeper hit. Designed by Gunfire Games, the developers behind THQ Nordic’s Darksiders 3, you’ll be taking control of an unnamed person as they traverse the wasteland of Earth…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The best stories about sexuality and human relationships are often the least sexy. There’s a point where a dive into the relationship between two people, the temptations and challenges they face, starts to become uncomfortably familiar. We can see ourselves in what we’re seeing on-screen, and…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If Final Fantasy VIII isn’t my favourite in the whole series, it’s not far behind. This game, which looked like it was in danger of being actually lost for a while after Square Enix apparently lost the base code, weaves a masterful tale of five of…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Machi Knights: Blood Bagos is an arena-combat based action RPG developed by Korean studio Cyberfront.
