Review: Pyre
Growing up in Argentina, I often played soccer during recess. It's just something you did growing up there. It wasn't hard from the imagination of a child to pretend that this game was something more, a simulacra of struggle, a ritual. As...
Review: Galaxy of Pen and Paper
Brazil-based Behold Studios has a fancy little niche going for them in that they specialize almost entirely in RPGs that play up nostalgia and pastiche. From their very first kaiju fighting title Monster Jam to their more recent sentai...

Two years ago, the cynic in me would not have believed this game existed. Nier didn't sell well, Drakengard 3 was a mess, and all these IP's and resources are under the control of Square-Enix, a company that complained games that sold over...
Thoughts on Persona 5
20 Years ago Shin Megami Tensei and Persona team unleashed Revelations: Persona on the world. Featuring a group of high schoolers granted power by the gods, the ability to draw upon their innermost "selves." While engaging in antics tm...
