    Rubinite review

    Many modern games mistake punishment for depth. They throw things like bloated health bars, millisecond-based parries, and or outrageous amounts of enemy damage at players. The hope is all that perseverance is eventually rewarded. Rubinite,…

    Pass the Fear review

    There’s a moment in any respectable action roguelike where things start to click. Your bullets start doing something they weren’t doing three minutes ago, your DPS (damage per second) numbers are soaring, and for a…

    Exstetra review

    There was an all too brief moment in the early 2010s when Japanese role-playing games thrived on consoles. Both the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation Vita served as a home to dozens of mid-budget adventures.…

    Viral Reload EX review

    There’s something refreshing about a shoot ‘em that shirks overcomplication. Viral Reload EX from Retrocade Media is that kind of stripped-down experience. There are no power-ups or bombs that act like a panic button when…

    BLUE REFLECTION Quartet review

    Few role-playing series have understood the magical girl genre as well as Gust’s Blue Reflection. Across its first two games, Gust proved that quiet conversations, emotional vulnerability, and genuine friendship could be just as captivating…

      The Boy and the Beast (4K Ultra HD Blu-ray)

      Mamoru Hosoda’s 4K release of The Boy and the Beast fits into a prodigious filmography about family that’s told from several different perspectives. Across Summer Wars’ multi-generational Jinnouchi clan, Wolf Children’s poignant portrait of single motherhood, and Mirai’s time‑hopping look at sibling rivalry and reconciliation, Hosoda explores how people learn…

      Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance review

      2009’s Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance continues the Rebuild saga’s ambitious reimagining, habitually eschewing being an unwarranted copy of the landmark 1995 anime. Where 1.11 stayed forgivably close to the original blueprint, this 108-minute sequel finds Hideaki Anno and his team confidently revising story and intensifying the sense of…

      Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone review

      2007’s Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone was an ambitious retelling of the first six episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Intended for both lapsed fans as well as newcomers, the 98-minute theatrical film delivered the sheen of modern animation as well as reworked the series’ narrative beats, all under the…

      City Hunter: ANGEL DUST review

      City Hunter: ANGEL DUST is poised to delight fans of Tsukasa Hojo’s forty-year old franchise. Following decades of spin-offs, adaptations, and at least one live-action Jackie Chan film, ANGEL DUST revisits what made the original property such a phenomenon. As such, expect a deft blend of slapstick, tense gunplay, as…

      Cloud review

      Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s latest film, Cloud, devotes its early moments to the ordinary, detailing the seemingly unremarkable world of online reselling. But Kurosawa’s direction elevates this mundane premise into a taut thriller. The story follows Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda) a factory worker who supplements his income through predatory reselling. His business…

      Ghost Cat Anzu review

      With its voyage to Japan’s pastoral countryside and a larger-than-life creature who functions as a surrogate parent, Ghost Cat Anzu’s early moments might draw comparison with My Neighbor Totoro. Later, a third-act chase through the netherworld shares a resemblance to Spirited Away. But directors Yōko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita animated…
