28.2.2024

New Fan Blog Argues (Rightly) That Final Fantasy VIII Is The Best
28.2.2024
I have always been a staunch defender of Final Fantasy VIII. I love its broken junction system, the exceptional card game Triple Triad, and the central story of Squall and Rinoa. Not everybody is as enlightened as I am, though. Ever since its release in 1999, the game has been overlooked...

PlayStation's Most Underrated Exclusive Still Grips Me 7 Years Later
28.2.2024
In recent years I’ve come to accept that I just don’t love open-world games. It’s partially because my life has only gotten busier and I have less free time to spend on games, so I gravitate towards shorter experiences. But it’s also because open-world game design tends to be boring and repetitive...
