Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten Review
The Utawarerumono series spin-off, Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, arrives on consoles in the west. This turn-based RPG is enjoyable and doesn’t do anything wrong, but also doesn’t make itself particularly memorable.
Rune Factory 3 Special Review

Remnant II Review
Gunfire Games returns to the world of Remnant with exactly the kind of sequel a fan of the first game would want. Now if only it could get storytelling up to the same quality.
South Park: The Stick of Truth Switch Review
In a genre of gaming often dominated by Japanese productions, it’s a different experience to play a product that is indisputably, 100% messed-up Americana. Truly, there is nothing like it, for better or for worse.

Soulvars Review
Soulvars is a soulless grind of an RPG where turn-based skill swapping mechanics similar to a deck of cards is the only entertainment value the title offers. The lack of story and character development provides a hollow experience.
