Square Enix have been absolutely knocking it out of the park these last couple of years, churning out top quality titles - Dragon Quest XI, the Final Fantasy remakes, Nier:Automata, etc - like it's going out of style. So when Octopath Traveller hit the scene in 2018, Square Enix's new JRPG with a swanky multi-narrative... Continue Reading →
The videogame industry has absolutely exploded in the last fifteen years. There are so many games being developed these days that it would be totally inconceivable to even keep track of them all, never mind to actually play all the newest games on release.

In August, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, originally released in 2012, is being remastered. I thought now would be a great time to share my thoughts on the title.
