Platforms: PlayStation 4, PC (via Steam) Let me get some very important information about NieR: Automata out of the way: it is a “kind of sequel” to one of the endings of Nier, which itself was a spinoff of Drakenguard 3. There is a good chance you’ve never heard of the original Nier before buzz about Automata starting picking up. You do not have to have played either game before playing Automata. There’ll be references and cameos you might miss, but the good news is Automata is pretty self contained story-wise, so going in blind won’t hurt too bad. Which is important, because you should play Automata. Not because there’s cutie robot waifus (although, yes, there are, and they are indeed cuties), but because it’s a chance to play a game that changes both gameplay and expected story elements so frequently that experiencing it for yourself might make you change your outlook on all sorts of things. And because if it sells enough maybe Square Enix will re-release Nier on Steam or something. But mostly because it’s a very unique and challenging experience that’s deeply rewarding and hiding a lot behind the “2B is a cutie” facade.  I have never had that much experience with dungeon crawler games but unlike the others I've tried, this game left a good experience for me in the end. Experience Inc. and NIS America bring us their PC port of Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy originally on the PlayStation Vita.

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PC (via Steam) Danganronpa has always been a series that I’ve been intrigued with, but never committed to. With the recent release of the first two games in one package on the PS4 finally, it was high time I give it a go.  We’ve all been immensely hyped for the Nintendo Switch. Now that it’s out, let me take an in-depth look at the console to help you know the ins and outs of what’s good or not.
 Everybody is curious about the Nintendo Switch. It's been one of Nintendo's most anticipated pieces of hardware they've released. Take a look at what's in the box and what the system looks like.

Platform(s): Playstation 4, PS Vita It's weird. It seems that if a Japanese game isn't trying to be "open world", it's trying a Musou/Dynasty Warriors entry. For many franchises, such an entry doesn't quite make sense. Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star sure is a thing that might not make sense, but Fate is also a franchise that's made all sorts of odd spinoff games that work. Thankfully, this does. Unthankfully, it works only for a super niche set of people.  Player(s): 1
Platform(s): PC (via Steam or Nutaku) What would you do if you had the ability to travel back in time by 5 minutes? Would you use it to get money? Would you do it to figure out the best way to approach conversations with people? Or maybe you’d use it to press your luck in situations where you could save yourself from trouble? |
