“Octopath Traveler 0” Review

author image by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 03 Dec 2025

Octopath Traveler 0 has a lot to it. The “main” parts of the story, primarily the antagonists discussed here, are some of the best in the series and will keep people invested along with the Animal Crossing-like charm you get from restoring Wishvale, but once you get past it, it’s all really just… there, and getting to its real, yet satisfying ending will take some effort. The end result is a huge game that definitely boasts more value than it’s $50 asking price.

“Demonschool” Review

author image by Michael Fertitta | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 26 Nov 2025

Demonschool is a great strategy-RPG that clearly takes a lot of notes from its influences such as the Devil Summoner series, though admittedly it lacks a bit of the gameplay depth that those games have with regards to character stats. However, what Demonschool lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in its visual style, entertaining dialogue, and satisfying combat.

“Lumines Arise” Review

author image by Filippo Dinolfo | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam VR | 0 Comments | 25 Nov 2025

This review should have been in over a week ago, but some odd circumstances, which I mentioned in my review-in-progress, kept that from happening. The good news is that the team at Enhance/Monstars were finally able to reproduce the issue I was having and figure out how to fix it. The better news is, if they’re willing to go to that effort for a bug that I would be pretty confident in saying only I have ever managed to trigger in gameplay, is a great sign for how much they care about what they’re making.

“ARC Raiders” Review

author image by Kurosh Jozavi | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 21 Nov 2025

ARC Raiders is a game built around tension. Not the horror-movie kind, but the slow, creeping, cheeks-clenched kind that comes from knowing every footstep, every rustle, and every distant gunshot might be the thing that ends your run. Developed and…

“R-Type Delta HD Boosted” Review

author image by Filippo Dinolfo | PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 20 Nov 2025
