Dragon Ball: The Breakers Review
By Shenron, what have they done?! The only thing Dragon Ball: The Breakers is ‘breaking’ is the record for how quickly a game has paralysed me with frustration and boredom. I have a lot to say about this game but, unfortunately, none of it is good. The concept...

It’s a good time to be a Survival Horror fan

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris First Impressions

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Preview
It’s no secret that I am a Souls fanboy. It’s also no secret that I absolutely adore most games that make an attempt at the Souls formula (Soulslikes) and will consume every ounce of media that I can get my hands on if it involves respawning enemies, hard but fair...
