Despite its aging personality, Two Point Museum is the strongest entry in the series yet. The improved gameplay flow, deeper simulation mechanics, and museum theme provide just the right level of creative freedom and challenge.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii reuses the Infinite Wealth setting that still feels fresh and exciting for many and is packed with an absurd pirate theme that reminds us that the Yakuza series can go anywhere it wants and still find ways to entertain. Goro Majima is liked for many reasons and his latest adventures just reinforce why he’s one of the most cherished characters in the series.
Even with a few fumbles on the game’s online netcode and matchmaking, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. still delivers an excellent fighting game for newcomers and Virtua Fighter fans alike. And with this being an online-focused endeavor, it can only get better through patch updates.
Sega has now established an online profile platform for their players. With this account, players of their games will get exclusive bonuses, starting with the Kazuma Kiryu DLC outfit for Majima.
Those interested in pre-ordering the upcoming action game Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii would be pleased to know that two cosmetic sets will be given to those placing their order early.
I recently had the chance to play an early build of Two Point Museum, the latest simulator from the developers of Two Point Campus and Two Point Hospital. With three levels available during my limited playtime, I got a taste of how this quirky formula evolves in its newest iteration, set to launch on February 27, 2025.
In a recent interview with Video Games Chronicle, Sega’s Global Transmedia Group Justin Scarpone, revealed that a new entry of the beloved fighting game franchise Virtua Fighter is currently in the works.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
Sonic X Shadow Generations blasts into the stratosphere by delivering a flashy, Shadow-centric epic with high-energy Doom Powers, excellent level design that strikes the right balance between fun and challenge, and a lot of heart in its short story. The fact that the timeless classic Sonic Generations comes with this package is more than just a cherry on top.
Sega has released details on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, sharing the game’s prologue details, the key characters of the story, and a description of the locations players will get to visit.
I finally feel this fantasy journey coming to an end, and despite how much I've played, I’m surprised by how much I want to stay in this world. Another week with Metaphor: ReFantazio will be enough for a final verdict. But from everything I’ve experienced so far, it’s clear Metaphor is leaving a lasting mark.
