"As a fan of the The Legend of Heroes franchise, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon feels like a breath of fresh air, but with 20 years worth of interconnected games making up its backstory, I cannot help but wonder if it will be too much to tackle for new or casual players."
Christmas is one of the most exciting times of the year for gamers, but is there a deeper connection between gamers and the holiday than even they realise?
Stronghold: Definitive Edition is a disappointing remaster of a niche title which fails to make any meaningful improvements to Stronghold's ageing mechanics, pitiful AI, and glacial pacing.
While not without issues, Dark Envoy is one of the most promising indie CRPGs in over a decade; unfortunately, due to its poor sales and crushing competition from Baldur's Gate 3, much of its potential will be left unrealized.
While I would be remiss to say that the developer put no effort into Lizard Survivors: Battle for Hyperborea, it seems that much of that effort was misplaced, and as a result, Lizard Survivors: Battle for Hyperborea is one of the most disappointing games I played in 2023.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III may not be what players expected for Call of Duty 2023, but it is far from the disaster that many outlets claim it is. Rough edges aside, it is one of the best first-person shooters released in 2023.
As one of the most iconic franchises in gaming, we would be remiss not to cover Call of Duty titles, especially as the iconic franchise celebrates its 20th birthday and finds a new home at Xbox, a move which has filled many at Activision with renewed hope for the future.
While Heads Will Roll: Reforged had the potential to be something truly unique, its focus on fetish content robs it of any chance of being successful based on its own merits.
