[Review] Ghost of Tsushima: What Makes it the Most Beautiful Game of All?

I saw a ton of reviews calling Ghost of Tsushima the most beautiful game ever made. Now, I was pretty skeptical. We live in a time where good graphics is a must for open world games. So what is it that makes people keep calling it beautiful?

[Review] Lost Judgment

This post is a conclusion of my thoughts on Lost Judgment after finishing the game and a continuation of the previous post [Impressions] Lost Judgment.

I had an awesome time with Lost Judgment. RGG Studio proves to us fans that they keep improving themselves with each game by making changes when necessary and consistently keeps content fresh. While I was unfortunately spoiled on the ending when browsing on the Internet, it didn't completely deter my enjoyment only lost the element of surprise. The final boss fight ... man I struggled hard with it.

[Impressions] Lost Judgment

Today's post is more of a first impressions and less of a review. At the time of writing, I have not completed the game yet. This post covers up to Chapter 9: The Weight of Guilt. I will avoid major spoilers and try my best to omit character names. Game titles will be abbreviated to initials for better reading.

Our favorite Kamurocho detective, Takayuki Yagami, is back again with another case and direct sequel to Judgment. Fans like myself really enjoyed the first game as it diverges from the main Yakuza series and can be played as a standalone game. Of course, if you are longtime Yakuza fans, playing all the games is a plus and adds to the experience for better immersion. In the timeline of Lost Judgment, events in Yakuza 7/Like a Dragon are canon. Ijincho is now an accessible map with the additional of Seiryo High School. Some areas and building previously accessible in Y7 are now blocked off as they do not pertain or add to the story of LJ. Less noticeable in Kamurocho, but Little Asia is no longer accessible. Those of you that have played Y7 know that Ijincho is a lot larger than Kamurocho so this allows for more exploration. I will give my opinions on most of the game mechanics.

[Review] Final Fantasy XV: It Could Have Been Better Sadly

It's been 6 years since the release of Final Fantasy XV. There are talks about a Final Fantasy XVI and frankly I'm not really pumped for it. Unlike other players, I'm not a veteran in the FF series. FFXV was my first FF game and I plunged into it with no knowledge of the lore whatsoever. While I was aware of the many criticisms and flaws of the game, I was one of those people that were able to enjoy the game regardless mainly due to the fact I had little knowledge of the universe to begin with and I played it 3 years after its release. By then the Royal Edition was already out with the Ardyn DLC and a lot of patches had been released. But I had also missed the limited time Assassin's Festival event.

[Review] How I Got Hooked on Kengan Ashura

 

Over the past 2 months, I have successfully cultivated a ferocious appetite of anything Kengan Ashura related due to finally giving the series a chance. Having breezed through the two seasons on Netflix, I am really eager to see season 3. Before watching the show, I originally had a negative impression based on the manga. About a couple years back when Kengan Ashura was first picked up by the scanlating group, Hokuto no Gun, I had read through the first chapter. I was not impressed and was very turned off. If I had to guess why, I wasn't in particular a fan of the art style and I don't remember reading manga with much intent. At the time, it didn't click with me so I had put it down and forgotten about it altogether. Fast forward to 2020, I'm approaching the series with an entirely different attitude.
