[Keywords] Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Lineups

by Data_Error

I adore Pokémon, but playing a game I”solved” in middle school can be less than thrilling.

What Pokémon needs, for some of us, is un-solving.

[Keywords] Call of the Night and Vibes

by Data_Error

This season hasn’t been huge for anime, but it’s had its stand-outs. Still, I keep coming back to Call of the Night more than any others.

[Keywords] Digimon Survive and Targeting

by Data_Error

I adore Digimon Survive.

I also absolutely do not believe for a second that most people need to play Digimon Survive.

[Keywords] Digimon Kizuna and Aging Out

by Data_Error

As Digimon Kizuna keeps hammering home, the series has always been first and foremost about people – people who can, and eventually must, part ways.

[Keywords] The Cruel King and the Great Hero and Storytime

by Data_Error

JRPGs are a comfort food, and few game-makers have a better handle on that feeling than those behind The Cruel King and the Great Hero. What’s more positive than a bedtime story, after all?

[Keywords] Alter Ego and Likeness

by Data_Error

Holy cannoli do people love getting pedantic about definitions online. For example: what even is a manga?

Alter Ego should absolutely be called a manga – it’s just hard to pinpoint *why* that is.

[Keywords] Culdcept Revolt and Power Curves

by Data_Error

Plenty have documented the details of exactly why Monopoly is a quantifiably bad board game by design. Culdcept Revolt borrows all those same building blocks – so how is it that I actually enjoy playing this game

[Keywords] Rescue Rangers and Formula

by Data_Error

If I told you that a Danger Mouse movie was coming out next week, you’d probably be able to picture it already. There’s a bit of a song-and-dance to these nowadays, from the CGI recreation and audience-surrogate everyman to the stunt-casted villain.

But luckily, the Rescue Rangers dodged that particular bullet. Mostly.

[Keywords] Planetes and Anthology

by Data_Error

currently available for streaming.

Science fiction thrives on the anthology format. Pick any of the “classics” from a hat – Star Trek, The Dandelion Girl, Asimov’s I, Robot – and it’s a better-than-even chance that the stories don’t take longer than fifty pages or forty-two minutes to tell. There’s a lot to be said for how a tight, focused episode can really drill down on a single idea.

And precious few series wield the strengths of both quite as well as Planetes.

[Keywords] Rune Factory 5 and Friction

by Data_Error

I’ve been a big fan Rune Factory for a while now. It’s probably my favorite blend of the “farm life” style of game, and 4 on the 3DS gobbled up dozens of hours of my life. I was among the first up to bat for the series when it was pronounced no-longer-dead two years ago.

Really, I just want to see this series succeed.

But less than halfway through Rune Factory 5, I’m starting to feel like its time is up.

[Keywords] Eighty-Six and Aesthetic

by Data_Error

I did not enjoy Eighty-Six; being clubbed over the head just isn’t my idea of a great reading experience. That said, I’ve totally got a tie-in model kit sitting across the room from me right now.

[Keywords] Gravity Rush and Novelty

by Data_Error

I’ve been adoring every minute I can sneak in with Gravity Rush. Despite being a whole decade old now, it often feels more fresh than anything else I’ve played this year.
