Flynn: Son of Crimson is not a Metroidvania. I know this is a bit of an odd way to begin a review, but for me, it’s an important distinction to make. I was sold on the idea that this was a Metroidvania: it has been on several “upcoming Metroidvania” listings, I’ve seen a handful loopContinue reading “Flynn: Son of Crimson”

Panzer Dragoon Remake
The opening to Panzer Dragoon Remake feels like finding an undiscovered cult classic movie of the eighties/nineties. For nearly ten minutes, a story plays out before the player’s eyes.

Mercenaries Blaze: Dawn of the Twin Dragons
A Glimpse of Fate I actually took some time to think about what the first game I would review for this site, and by extension review in this kinda semi-professional manner would be. Should it be Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the game I’ve sunk over 600 hours into and that I bought a Switch for?Continue reading “Mercenaries Blaze: Dawn of the Twin Dragons”
