Nova Hearts Review
Nova Hearts blends visual novels with turn-based timeline combat. Unfortunately, it attempts to bite off more than it can chew and suffers for it.

Adventure Corner ~ Date Everything!
Are the floor and ceiling longing for each other? Did the washer and dryer break up again? These are just some of the soap operas that players will encounter in Sassy Chap’s wild sentient object dating sim, Date Everything!
Kabuto Park Review
Do you like bugs? How about meeting other bug-crazy kiddos? Kabuto Park is a short, addictive little game that will have you scouting for all the bugs before bedtime.
Maliki: Poison of the Past Review
Rewinding time is both a blessing and a curse. While Maliki: Poison of the Past is not a bad game, it definitely needed to rewind itself to fix some of its core gameplay and add a dash of fun.
Peglin Review
Having released on more consoles, Peglin has further opportunity to become everyone’s new favourite addiction. Red Nexus Games has created a marriage of roguelike meets pachinko magic, and it’s a delightful ride.
Adventure Corner ~ Battlefield Waltz
Can love happen on the battlefield? Idea Factory International has brought a once Japan-only Vita title to Nintendo Switch so audiences could feel the heartache. Why? Because love is a battlefield… cue Pat Benatar!

Adventure Corner ~ Café Enchanté
Aksys Games welcomes otome fans to Café Enchanté, where warm beverages are served, and magical beings are available for smooching. This is one unique gem that shouldn’t be missed.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars Review
Konami has graced gamers with remasters of the first two Suikoden games. While these two gems are classic in their own rights, did Konami put enough effort in to warrant this collection?
Backloggin’ the Year – Sam’s Sojourn, January to March 2025
It’s a new year of backlog busting, and this gal has some big goals! January to March offered an interesting variety of completed titles, but were they good? Let’s find out.
Adventure Corner ~ LEGO Horizon Adventures
Did anyone have LEGO Horizon Adventures on their 2024 bingo card? What about RPGamer finally reviewing it on their 2025 bingo card? Sam Wachter finds love in this LEGO-verse, and it’s mostly amaz-bricks!
Adventure Corner ~ Carmen Sandiego
Carmen Sandiego is back with a new game and look. While we won’t be chasing her through history, we will be catching V.I.L.E. goons across… well, a handful of locations. Can Carmen solve these mysteries? Or will V.I.L.E. prevail? Watch your back!
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Review
What if Like and Dragon and One Piece had a baby? Well you’d get Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and what a bouncing baby she is! While the game sets sail for the high seas, it retreads some familiar ground that may or may not disappoint. What matters is the following question: would Monkey D. Luffy and Majima be best friends? I think so!
Keep Driving Review
YCJY Games is encouraging players to consider taking a summer road trip to cure winter blues with Keep Driving. Does battling rainbows, roadkill, and even bees guarantee a successful road trip, or does it stall out?
Adventure Corner ~ 9 R.I.P.
Welcome to the spirit realm, where you can smooch some ghostly gentlemen! But are these haunted hunks worth the effort?
