We are roughly a week out from the release of the eighth generation of Pokemon games, Sword and Shield. To honor this momentous event, we are going back through the entire 23 year series history, starting today with a celebration of generation one, Red and Green, which started it all.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is the huge expansion to the core Monster Hunter World game. It features bigger monsters, longer hunts, better equipment and basically more of the same excellent crafting and fighting gameplay that makes the Monster Hunter series so special.
Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark is an excellent turn-based RPG in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts, Tactics Ogre and others. It strives to add a few new twists to the genre without taking the game out of the realm that turn-based RPGers so love. It’s fun and challenging.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the sixteenth game in the popular tactical RPG franchise, so it was a surprise to many that so much has changed. We dive into the changes the developers made, and why this is one of the best RPGs of all time for Nintendo.
The billions of zombies in They Are Billions gave the bite down to many PC gamers, and now this hardcore RTS masterpiece is marching over to consoles. The game is solid there, but the real enemy might be managing a difficult war against the undead with an Xbox or PlayStation controller.
Professor Lupo’s shady dealings in black market space creatures have finally caught up with him. But as his not so faithful intern, it may be you who pays the price as you struggle to save a space station that’s been overrun by pet monsters.
The Classic Assassin’s Creed III game jumps to the Nintendo Switch, where players can pull some amazing American Revolution era assassinations, plus some awesome naval combat, in a more portable format. Find out if this remake is worth floating with over to a new platform.
In the Outward RPG, you’re not really special. You’re not a hero. And you certainly aren’t the chosen one. Yet you must still venture forth and overcome incredible odds with no handholding. Not every player will make it, but if you like challenges, you might thrive.
Into the realm of rogue-like adventure games like ADOM, Shiren the Wanderer, Nethack and others, we can add the delightful Tangledeep, one of the best RPGs of this type that we have ever played. Get tangled up in this great dungeon delver.
Although not particularly unique among stealth action games, Aragami: Shadow Edition is a solid title that will thrill those who like sneaking and stabbing in a semi-realistic cel-shaded environment. Give this one a whirl.
