Evan SchwabMarch 11, 2023
Continuing a Bright Future NIS America set up a ludicrous 2023 schedule of game launches with a relatively quiet but extremely successful 2022 lineup. Last year, NIS released the recently translated remaster of Trails from Zero, a masterclass of JRPG excellence that creates strong characterizati...

Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society Review

Evan SchwabMarch 2, 2023
A Return to the Labyrinth What can I say about dungeon crawlers that you don’t already know? For me, they’re pretty much huge hits or enormous misses - there isn’t much of an in between here. I find exploring the dungeons of this genre immensely enjoyable, typically regardless of if the ex...

Forspoken Review

Evan SchwabFebruary 23, 2023

The Chant (PS5) Review

Evan SchwabDecember 5, 2022

TL;DR Review – Ys VIII: The Lacrimosa of Dana

Evan SchwabNovember 30, 2022
A Peak of Performance for Ys VIII Years ago, Falcom launched Ys VIII: The Lacrimosa of Dana on the PlayStation Vita and PS4 (before subsequently launching on PC and Nintendo Switch). The game sees self-identified adventurer Adol the Red and traveling pal Dogi marooned on the cursed Isle of Seire...

The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero Review

Evan SchwabSeptember 20, 2022
Perfection Remastered A lot can be said about the age of remasters. Sometimes, a remaster feels forced - sometimes, a game is remastered to death. Other instances see remasters tactfully produced, with meaningful updates that make revisiting the game in question well worth the time and money. Th...

Bright Memory: Infinite Review (PS5)

Evan SchwabJuly 27, 2022

Evan SchwabFebruary 28, 2022
A Surprisingly Fresh Take on the JRPG Genre By now, you probably know that I love NIS America. Not everything they publish is a gem, but they make it possible to play many of the more obscure games from Japan (and now that they publish Falcom games like Ys and The Legend of Heroes, of course Iâ€...

Bright Memory Infinite Review

Evan SchwabDecember 9, 2021
Bright Indeed Boy, have we come a long way with indie games. There’s always been a special place in my heart for the indie genre - indie games, indie music, indie film, etc. - because it always feels like, regardless of how good the actual outcome, each piece of art is filled with imaginative ...

The Caligula Effect 2 Review

Evan SchwabOctober 15, 2021
The Virtuadolls Return A few years ago, NIS America published Caligula Effect: Overdose, a PlayStation 4 port of a PlayStation Vita JRPG about a virtuadoll that captured the ‘souls’ of people - rendering them comatose - and kept them ‘trapped’ within a world of her making. It was a game ...
