[Review] Trinity Trigger
Posted on 12 months ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 25, 2023
Developer: FuRyu
Publisher: Marvelous / XSEED
Trinity Trigger is set in a world caught in an ongoing war between Order and Chaos, each with a chosen champion fated to fight one another to the death to choose a victor. Generally, one of the chosen ones is assassinated before the duel can begin, resulting in zero changes for the world as a whole, but a pretty grim fate for our protagonist who just so happens to be the Champion of Chaos. Opening up, the plotline of the game seems to thrust a very heavy burden on the player, but will it deliver on its hefty narrative, or will Trinity Trigger be just another hack-and-slash action RPG that falls to the wayside?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been out for a little over a week now, and we want to hear your impressions.
This was a big deal for Nintendo as one of its first real cracks at cinema since the live-action Mario film many, many years ago. There was a lot of pressure to get it right, and while some of the reviews have been mixed, it’s already proven to be a huge success.

[Review] Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
Posted on 1 year ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: March 22, 2023
Developer: PlatinumGames
Publisher: Nintendo
With Bayonetta 3 having just released last October, it was unexpected, to say the least, when a new game in the form of Cereza and the Lost Demon was revealed so soon after. However, it was clear from the get-go that this wouldn’t be the typical experience fans have grown to know and love, and would instead delve into a more relaxed but still engaging tale of the character’s upbringing. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a game that is surprising in more ways than one but is a pleasant gift to longtime fans of the franchise that gives Bayonetta a different, charming perspective with a gorgeous art direction and not once overstays its welcome. In some cases, despite being a spinoff, it could arguably be the best title the series has seen to date, and it’s a perfect place to jump into for those that have been hesitant to get acquainted with the Umbran Witch.
