Now, this is a game I’ve been meaning to review for quite some time. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a game that is very close to my heart, and it feels weird that the sequels have just gotten an official localization. Who would have thought Rhapsody 2 and 3 would get theirs before MOTHER 3? …
Quick Review: Dimension Tripper Neptune TOP NEP (PC)
Dimension Tripper Neptune TOP NEP is the second shmup spinoff in the Neptunia series, the first being 2019’s Neptunia Shooter. I didn’t like that game, and I’m not sure I have strong feelings about this one either. I CAN say that Dimension Tripper Neptune is an improvement though, and that much is evident in the …

Standard Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (PS3/360/Wii/PC/Ios/Android/OUYA)
I have always had a history with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. I grew up with both of the Sonic Adventure titles and I formed a connection with both of them early on. I also was nostalgic for the Genesis games seeing as how I played them through Sonic Mega Collection. I did enjoy games …
Quick Review: Digital Seclusion (PC)
CW: Discussion of agoraphobia, depression, and suicide. I think it’s safe to assume that some of us, myself included, view games as more than just entertainment. The gaming medium has a near and dear place in my heart, and many of the games I’ve played have shaped who I am as a person. While I’ve …
Quick Review: Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land (Game Boy)
So, uhhh. Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land is a good game. In fact, It’s in my top three games for the original Game Boy… not that I’ve played many of those. I don’t have many memories of the original system aside from Pokemon Gen 1, so most of what I’ve played for it is …

Standard Review: Ys I & II Chronicles (PSP/PC/Ios)
I often find myself overwhelmed by the amount of well known JRPG series I still need to check out. Given that I haven’t even beaten every mainline Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, the idea of jumping into another long running series is a daunting one. But hey, I’m finally reviewing a Falcom game, so that’s …

Steam Greenlight Landfill: Neptunia Shooter (PC)
It’s well established at this point, that I’m a Hyperdimension Neptunia fangirl. I owe a lot to this series. I’ve said before how I felt an affinity with this series as a socially isolated, closeted trans woman. The original Hyperdimension Neptunia was one of the key reasons I bought a PS3. Yes, that low budget …

Steam Greenlight Landfill: Amazing Princess Sarah (PC/360/XONE)
Amazing Princess Sarah is not very amazing.
Standard Review: SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated (PS4/XONE/Switch/PC)
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was a 3D collectathon platformer for consoles in 2003. I played it back then because I was too young to know that licensed games usually suck. Battle for Bikini Bottom was pretty damn good though, and it holds up surprisingly well. Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a …
