It’s once again time to delve into the reaches of the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000 (aka 40k), the ever-eternal field of battle. This time, we return with Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II, a follow-up to the extremely well-received Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. Can the Adeptus Mechanicus continue the momentum from their first skirmish, or have the […]
UltraGirl Alters is a story-driven SRPG, where you become the manager of a new tokusatsu-themed virtual idol group. You can command them through battling virtual monsters, growing their skills, and their growth together as a group. It seems like an interesting idea to mix what’s essentially Vtubers, tokusatsu, and SRPG combat, so I picked up […]
Classic SNK franchises are constantly on the up and up with their releases of late, and old-schoolers like me couldn’t be eating better.

The loveable little sprouts are back in their first original release in 10 years! Despite being announced as “near completion” years ago by Nintendo, it’s been a long time coming for the Switch to get its own original Pikmin title.
