Sigma Star Saga DX Review – Retro Hybrid Still DividesEven for its time, when WayForward released Sigma Star Saga in 2005, the retro inspirations that shaped it definitely dated its core systems. Now, over 20 years later, those inspirations are even easier to recognize, but the design surprisingly holds up. I think prospective players only need to ask themselves if they’re willing to fully [...]

People of Note Review – The Power of Rock (And Friendship)A little over a month ago, in my preview for People of Note, I said that the game was clearly made for me in particular, based on the hour and a half I’d spent with its demo.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance Review – 23 Years Later, The Story Still Carries NosgothFor 23 years, I have had an unfulfilled craving for a new Legacy of Kain. Lost in a timeline of budgeted sequels and lingering questions, only made worse by each passing day, it’s something that has stuck with me for a long time.

In such a crowded genre, managing to stand out is an impressive feat in itself. I remember one particular title that achieved that notion was 2021’s Grime, which, gameplay faults aside, has [...]
