Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings Review

Escape from Ever After Review
Ever After Corp. is in the business of peddling out dressed-up fairy tales, rebranding and then wheeling and dealing them out to the highest bidder. Sleepy Castle Studio’s Escape From Ever After is a hilarious homage to both corporate culture and fairy tales.
Adventure Corner ~ Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Review
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is the latest remake in the Like a Dragon franchise. Unfortunately, the game is full of missteps that will likely leave fans disappointed and frustrated.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass PS5 Review
Ever wanted to see the insides of a child’s dream world? Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass has made its way to consoles, and it offers plenty of nightmares to combat. Is braving Jimmy’s subconscious worth the effort?
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Review
In 2021 Eidos-Montréal released Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. While we don’t have a time machine to go back to when it released, we can assure you that Star-Lord is still a putz and Cosmo is still the bestest best boy in the galaxy.

The Lonesome Guild Review
Tiny Bull Studio’s The Lonesome Guild wears its themes of loneliness and community on its sleeve. In spite of the game’s valuable and important themes, it struggles to have good gameplay to back it up.
Wander Stars Review
Do you love 90’s anime tropes? How about the ability to use your words in combat? Wander Stars offers 90’s nostalgia with an intriguing battle system. Unfortunately, performance issues on the Switch hold it back from greatness.

Super Robot Wars Y Review
V-V-V-Victorrrrrrry! Super Robot Wars Y is the latest entry in the long running Super Robot Wars franchise. While the game has a lot for new players to learn, it’s an addictive experience all around.
Consume Me Review
Consume Me is a semi-autobiographical life sim game about diet culture and discomfort in one’s body. Is Jenny’s story a downer? Or is it one seeing through to the end?
