When you want to be able to read our thorough breakdown on a game because you just can’t stand our voices, this is the place to go! Rich (and sometimes the other guys) get into the meat of a game and give you a recommendation on whether or not it’s worth purchasing.
In a year of slow starts, Triangle Strategy is one of the slowest games I’ve played in a long time. In the first two hours or so, you do almost nothing. You’re introduced to protagonist Serenoa Wolffort, his many subjects, and mystical bride-to-be. At a glance, the combat is clearly inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics, and one of the best JRPGs of all time is quite the pedigree to live up to.

I’m a comic book nerd. It’s not something I’m shy about, nor in the year 2021 is it an unusual thing. That’s why I get to write a review for a Guardians of the Galaxy video game without having to go into elicit detail about who the fuck Groot is. That’s weird, but it's also kind of amazing.
On the subject of the modern popularity of comic book characters with the success of Insomniac’s Spider-man and their Wolverine adaption on the horizon we might be gearing towards a reality where Marvel games come out every year just like MCU films. I know that might sound like a bad idea, but if they’re all more like Eidos-Montreal’s Guardians of the Galaxy and less like Crystal Dynamic’s Avengers, then it might be an exciting prospect.
Never in a million years did I expect to be writing this review. From randomly walking into a pawn shop as a child and finding a game missing the manual insert in the jewel case for two dollars to obsessing over combos and monsters as an early teen to now. Honestly, had SaGa Frontier slated to get a remaster in 2021? Announced in 2020, this RPG, which happens to be a cousin to a little series called Final Fantasy, was finally coming back as Square Enix promised to give more love to a series neglected for far too long.
SaGa Frontier is an avant-garde RPG that bucked many traditional tropes and mechanics found in the Psone Golden Age of RPGs, opting to give the player a wildly unique experience for those willing to take the time to delve deeper into its peculiar self-aware nature.
Marvel’s Avengers is a confusing game. On the surface, it’s easy to dismiss. I mean who could blame you, the marketing made it look about as bland as it can get at it’s lowest. Every time Avengers does something great and blows you away a baffling bad choice is waiting around the corner to make you question who would even make this. Cap and friends have the potential to be great, but in its current state, Avengers leaves the player frustrated and wanting.
