Upcoming Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land (first announced during August 2024’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase) is no different, but both elements have been revamped to give the JRPG a new, fresh…

The Earth Defense Force series may have started as an offshoot of the Simple series, but it has developed a cult following all of its own. The latest title, Earth Defense Force 6, launched for PlayStation in Japan during August 2022. This March, the game was released in Asia (again…

The original Myst is an iconic narrative adventure exploration puzzle game released in 1993. Riven: The Sequel to Myst launched four years later. A remake of Myst came to us in 2020, so it only makes sense that a remake of Riven is delivered (again) four years later. Riven has…
