Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 2 – review
Prinny Presents are collections of classic NIS games re-released on Switch. Like the first part, this, second volume, contains two console products in one convenient package. Those are Makai Kingdom: Reclaimed and Rebound and ZHP: Unlosing Ranger Vs Darkdeath Evilman. This being my first experience with both, I was really excited, especially about ZHP. Prinny Presents 2 starts with games' selection menu. After choosing one of the two - the players arrive at the specific game's main screen.
Blue Pill or Red – The Caligula Effect 2 Review
The first Caligula Effect came out on PS Vita - with a later, improved Overdose Edition for Switch, PS4 and PC. Unlike its predecessor, The Caligula Effect 2 isn't a PS Vita re-release. It's an entirely new adventure, specifically for PS4 and Switch. Its world is also different from that of the first - with only loose ties between them. So, that's okay if you - like me - haven't heard of the series before.
Brigandine The Legend of Runersia – Pc Version – Review
We all know how time slows down when we do something boring - but goes by way too fast when we do something fun. In Brigandine The Legend of Runersia (which I'll shorten to Brigandine) time moves in seasons - and passes by very quickly. Must be because we have our hands full - moving troops, summoning monsters and managing so many armies... But let's take a step back and go in order.
Aquamarine – Review
Who doesn't like a nice, relaxing indie game? Actually, let me double down on that, who doesn't love a nice relaxing game with a charming hand-drawn aesthetic? I, for one, would definitely need more of those kinds of titles. But, if they come with the kaleidoscope of issues and feelings of frustration that Aquamarine made me drown in - well - in that case I just might be better off relaxing with a nice long bath...

The giant dice of doom – Slice and Dice review
There's a certain mysticism to the rolling dice. It's a strange, almost ritual feeling, as you shuffle them in your hand. Then, as the bones hit the hard wooden surface - the sound is like nothing else. It's akin to crackling flames, or a storm behind a window. It connects you, in some way, to those who lived here before. It brings you back across time, to the days of crowded taverns and bustling bazaars. You can almost imagine sitting across a table from some merchant from faraway lands, or a soldier, returned after long campaigns.
RESEARCH and DESTROY – Review
Gather round ghouls and zombettes - tonight I will recount the tale of how the human race went extinct and we, the supernatural beings, were finally allowed to live (well…) in peace. The story of how the humans began disregarding science, believing ignorance and arrogance to lead to happiness. HA! The poor souls didn't know what was in store for them; we came back and drove them extinct. Today, you can be safe in the knowledge that there is not a single human in sig… - Say what? You saw a human? WHERE?
To glitch or not to glitch – tERRORbane review
Bugs - everyone's worst nightmare. Whether crawling on your ceiling, or around your game's logic - no one likes to find a bug. The more there are, the worst it is; that's a fact. But - what if a game is all about bugs? Does this somehow make them non-existent? Or is the game really just a buggy mess, using comedy to disguise how broken it is? tERRORbane is one of many games those main gimmick is being buggy. Lucky for it, I love such games, and was ready to greet with open arms a turn-based RPG that is a buggy mess.
