How do you sum up gaming in 2021? It was absolutely wild, filled with delays, developers and publishers being ousted for being terrible organizations filled with trash culture and management, and ongoing difficulties of being able to find a next-gen console for purchase. Despite all of these issues, there was A LOT to be pleased about this year when it comes to gaming. Even though we saw a healthy number of AAA games being delayed, that paved the way for smaller and indie games to get more spotlight shone on them.
Review: Dodgeball Academia
Sports RPGs seem to be back in vogue the past few years suddenly. The Early Mario Golf games were the first to bring my attention to the genre, but more recent games like Golf Story and Mario Golf Super Rush, even if the latter is way less of an RPG than its predecessors, have proven the genre can still hit. Dodgeball Academia takes the sports RPG mentality, packs it with anime trappings, and tops it off with Pokemon references for a pretty impressive final product.
