You Gotta See Pokèmon In 'HD-2D,' A Reinvention Of The Classic Games
19.4.2023
Just imagine it: Pokémon, but with the visual style of Octopath Traveler or Triangle Strategy. You know, that joyful fusion of pixel art with modern 3D rendering that creates a delicate, dreamy atmosphere you can just get lost in for days? Thankfully, we don’t need to leave such a concept solely...
15 Hours With Octopath Traveler II: Good But Disjointed Stories (So Far)
2.3.2023
I’ve had a rough go of it in Octopath Traveler II’s first few hours. As someone who loves RPG parties most when they feel like real units of friends and found family, Octopath’s anthology-like storytelling wasn’t doing it for me. Its eight playable characters felt like islands I had to walk to...
8 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Octopath Traveler II
1.3.2023
In a lot of ways, Octopath Traveler II can feel like a pretty straightforward turn-based RPG, but when you take into account its eight characters’ original mechanics, its non-linear storytelling, and how unapologetic it can be about throwing you into the deep end, there’s a lot of complexity under...

Destiny 2 Just Had Its Best Season Finale Ever
14.2.2023
Seasonal endings have tended to be anti-climactic in Destiny 2. That was not the case with Season of the Seraph, which just added a new season finale mission that’s the best the loot shooter’s had since it pivoted from DLC expansions to quarterly updates. The mission itself is cinematic...

Gorgeous Retro Soulslike RPG Looks Just Like Octopath Traveler
31.10.2022
Duel Corp. looks so pretty that you’d be forgiving for thinking that it’s an upcoming RPG from Square Enix. But it’s actually made by some indie developers who decided to make a Soulslike from retro pixel art. And the effect is incredible. Read more
Let’s Remember Some Terrible Square Enix Video Game Names
13.9.2022
Octopath Traveler. Triangle Strategy. Forspoken. These are just a few of Square Enix’s weirder game titles. But today, the Final Fantasy publisher reminded the world of one of its all-time-greats: Various Daylife. The iOS JRPG now has a Switch port. It came out today and it’s still called, well...

Octopath Traveler: Champions Of The Continent Is Better Than The Nintendo Switch Original
29.7.2022
Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, newly available on mobile, is a worthy sequel to the original 2018 Switch role-playing game. I had expected a watered-down combat system and a menu hell like many other gacha games on mobile devices. Square Enix proved me wrong. Champions retains...
Square Enix's New Tactical RPG Is Deeper Than Pixel Art Nostalgia
10.3.2022
When I first saw the trailer for Square Enix’s new tactical role-playing game Triangle Strategy, I was excited about scratching my Fire Emblem itch (very normcore of me, I know). But now that I’m actually playing it, I’ve found that it’s more often reminding me of another game I love. After a...
Genshin Impact’s Orchestral Soundtrack Is Unbelievably Good
5.10.2021
Genshin Impact’s online concert last Sunday was a nonstop series of bangers, but the game really didn’t need one to convince me that it has one of the best video game scores I’ve heard in the past several years. So even if you’ve never played Genshin, I’d still like you to experience some of...
Astria Ascending Is The Prettiest Turn-Based Game I’ve Ever Played
27.9.2021
Astria Ascending is a turn-based JRPG with gameplay that pays homage to Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler. I enjoyed the combat in both of those titles, but the colorful art style of Astria Ascending felt like an upgrade from the somber color palette of those games. It also puts an interesting...

A Traveler's Guide To The Best Final Fantasy Worlds To Live In
3.2.2021
I’m a few days past my Final Fantasy XV blitz and I’m still enmeshed in a quagmire of feelings and emotions. Since finishing the game, I watched Kingsglaive the prequel movie, I’ve considered re-watching the prequel anime, and I’m one retail therapy session away from buying the novel. I’ve already...
