Not too long ago I reviewed a game called The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation (Which you can find HERE), and gave it a decently high rating. It was a game based on a hit Taiwanese movie, and was developed by SoftStar Entertainment, the studio also behind the Xuan-Yuan Sword series. Recently, a sequel titled The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication (Hereafter referred to as simply "Bridge Curse 2".) was released on all major platforms by way of publisher PQube. I knew that I had to get my hands on it, and that's exactly what I did. Being a huge fan of the horror genre, and the first game in general, I figured this was a must-review game for me. How does it stand up to the first game? Did it improve on the gameplay elements I criticized in my last review? Is it actually scary? We'll answer all those questions and more in this review. There's a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in!

Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent is the latest title in the long-running Class of Heroes series, and it released in December of last year on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC by way of PQube Entertainment. While the Class of Heroes series is mainly a dungeon crawling JRPG series, Adventure Academia changes things up by moving into the SRPG genre. Nothing is ever that simple though, and it's an SRPG game with quite a few real-time elements to shake things up a bit. Seeing as we're nearing the its first anniversary, we decided that now is a good time to dive into the game and see if it's worth going back to school for, or if you're better off dropping out early.

It's Valentine's Day, and I have just the game for you all! Mizuchi is a yuri themed visual novel that originally released back in 2020 on Steam. It was brought to fruition via a successful Kickstarter, and developer Aikasa Collective recently completed another Kickstarter for a new game. Funding details aside, Mizuchi is now making the move to consoles. It's currently available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. We're going to be taking a look at it on the PlayStation 5, and seeing if it was worth the long wait. We have a lot to cover in this one, so let's get right to the review!

I've already mentioned my love of the first two Class of Heroes titles in my review of the first game (Which can be found HERE), but I think it's the sequel where things really get interesting. Rounding out the new PQube-published Class of Heroes re-releases is Class of Heroes 2G: Remastered Edition available now for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC. We will once again be taking a look at the PlayStation 5 release, but I'm sure most of what I'm going to say will apply to both versions. I already know that this is going to be a long one, so let's jump right into it!

I'm a huge fan of the classic dungeon crawling RPG series Class of Heroes, and I was excited to hear that the first two games in the series were getting updated releases for modern platforms. Out now on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch by way of PQube Entertainment, we're going to be taking a look at both games on the PlayStation 5. This review is going to be for the first game, but the second one will be coming soon. Enough with intros, let's get into it!

I have found memories of playing Among Us during those awkward pandemic years, and the game we're going to look at today took me back to the days of calling each other "sus", or accusing my friends of going through the vents. Raging Loop is a visual novel that comes to us from developer Kemco, and publisher PQube. It's been out for quite a while on all major platforms, including mobile devices, and we're going to be looking at it today on the Nintendo Switch. This is a game that's been on my radar since even before the Among Us days, and I'm glad that I finally got a chance to play it. There's going to be a lot to go over in this one, so let's just get straight to the review!

I've been very lucky this year as several horror-themed games with unique settings have come my way. I previously reviewed Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open that takes place in Malaysia, and I also reviewed The DreadOut Collection which takes place in Indonesia. The game we're going to be looking at comes to us by way of a one-man development team known as KOEX Studio, and it's called Scarred. Going along with the theme of unique settings, Scarred takes place in Singapore. It's currently only available on PC via Steam, and we're going to see if this game is worth this long-winded intro. There's a lot to go over here, so let's dive right in!

It's not often that I get a chance to review a fighting game here at A-to-J, and even rarer that I get a chance to review one that comes from the indie scene. I'd imagine that creating a balanced fighting game from scratch is no small task, but that's exactly what Brazilian developer Statera Studios has set their sights on for years. Pocket Bravery came to life around 2020, though it took a while to get off the ground. After some other hiccups, its creator launched a (sadly unsuccessful) Indiegogo campaign in 2022, and eventually got a full release the following year. After a very long wait, the game is now available on consoles. It's on jut about everything current, but we're going to take a look at it on the PlayStation 4. There's going to be a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in!
