Dating Adzuken – Tokyo School Life
For this adventure into dating sims, things go absolutely off the rails. Tokyo School Life makes me feel weird, and ashamed, and uncomfortable. So, I suppose it very accurately captured my high school days. I don't mention this in the article, but this one is made by legendary remaster developer M2.

Review – TroubleDays
One of my favourite stories to tell about myself is the time I bought a bunch of ecchi games on a Steam Holiday Sale, and the store algorithm immediately jumped to the conclusion that I was a pervert. Is it correct? Do I play these games ironically or do I actually get some titillation from them? That’s none of your…

Review – Baobabs Mausoleum Episode 3: Un Pato en Muertoburgo
Eeeh, this deep into the Baobabs Mausoleum series, I've lost the faith. There's a lot of personality on display, but also a lot of half-assery. But at least there's this one last episode to get through. And at least we get to find out how Watracio Walpurgus survived a gunshot to the head.

Review – 198X
I am, if nothing else, very sentimental about video games. Not sure if you can tell. It doesn't take much to get me to spin yarns about my childhood and the games that turned me into the wreck you see before me. So 198x appeals to me on a conceptual level.

Review – Resident Evil (Remake)
One of the major gaming memories I commonly cite is the time when the Resident Evil remake on Gamecube gave me nightmares. Because, you know, I’d rather tell you about myself at my wussiest, rather than, say, how great I was at F-Zero GX. I think I just had to play it because it was the prettiest game I’d seen…

Review – Halo: Reach
I can’t claim to be a fan of Halo. More accurately, I love the idea of Halo. I love what it stands for. When the Xbox first hit the market with Halo, it was an amazing game to showcase what the console was all about. It was fresh and exciting; an evolution of the First Person Shooter that would set…

Review – Yakuza 0
My experience with Yakuza boils down to this one time that I watched a former roommate play a bit of the first game on Playstation 2. All I remember is the title character running around in what looked like a Japanese garden. I was unimpressed, but the series remained in my periphery. Why wouldn’t it? Its journey across the pond…

Review – Shadowrun: Hong Kong
I'm always hungry for Shadowrun. Shadowrun Hong Kong builds off Harebrained Schemes' previous games to present something that is similar, improved, but also deficient in some ways. Or over-ficient, maybe. Listen, I'm not sure how much to give away in these blurbs. Maybe just read on to see what I mean.

Review – Deltarune: Chapter 1
As much as I adore the game, I don’t want a sequel to Undertale. It’s not that I think that developer Toby Fox wouldn’t do a decent job of it, but it’s a self-contained story that wraps up in a satisfying way. Any attempts to extrapolate on it would feel cheap and lessen the impact. Luckily, for his follow-up game,…

Review – Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut
Shadowrun Returns set the groundwork for Harebrained Scheme's trilogy, and Dragonfall picks up the ball and runs with it. Wait... I guess "builds on it" would be the better follow-up to that analogy, but it's not as fun as taking a ball and running with it.
