“Balatro” Review

When you look at the gaming landscape today, it’s so vast and deep that it becomes hard to find new games you might want to play. Not so much because they don’t exist, but because you just don’t hear about…

“Persona 3 Reload” Review

Atlus has returned to the world of Persona 3 with a ground-up remake that utilizes the lessons learned from Persona 4 and Persona 5, both improving greatly on the original… while also showing how much the series has improved since.

“Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden” Review

By no means a bad game, there are some design decisions that left me my scratching my head. With so many anticipated AAA titles coming in 2024, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden doesn’t stand out too well amongst the pack, but is sure to be a backlog-topper when things slow down.

“Mario vs. Donkey Kong (2024)” Review

With smooth controls, a beautiful setting, additional worlds to play through, and new features, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is indeed a successful remake. However, it’s hard to say it’s worth the full price of admission.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink features a really short story that you can finish in a few days, and the post-game could potentially keep people playing for a while especially when taking its superb combat system online. The lack of real depth and effort explaining the lore is a real problem though, so I’d be wary of that before committing to whatever investment you put into this one.

Another Code: Recollection Review

Despite the ridiculously simple puzzles, notable lack of any sort of challenge, and some clunky controls, Another Code: Recollection is a good way for Nintendo to start off 2024 thanks to its great writing and voice acting.

Patrick Sounds Off: Much More Than an Ad Campaign

The Game Awards seldom do much for me, but I’ll certainly make an exception for the 2023 edition. Sega really showed out this year, but just as they implied in the Power Surge trailer, there’s a lot more to come….

More F-Zero than F-Zero – “Star Racer” First Look

When my editor, Danreb, emailed me asking if I wanted to have a look at Star Racer I was curious. This was the first I’d heard of the game, but, of course, that could just be because it’s impossible to…

Patrick Sounds Off: Year of the Repro?

There’s a truly detestable demographic out there of people trying to commodify retro games, greatly complicating things for people getting into the retro gaming market with the intention of actually playing what they buy. Thankfully, there’s a healthy reproduction scene…

Patrick Sounds Off: The Evolving Legacy of PC Engine

I’ve spent a lot of time on my channel lately talking about the PC Engine, largely because there’s been so much to talk about. Now it’s time to give my honest take on the system, its library, and ultimately what…
