The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Review
While built around the framework of its predecessor, Tears of the Kingdom cleverly recontextualizes the world and systems of this iteration of Hyrule. Through that it is fresh, thrilling, and one of the best games in recent memory. It's also every bit as ground-breaking as its predecessor.

Star Ocean The Second Story R Review
Star Ocean: The Second Story R has brought a cult classic into a new era. It’s been thoughtfully retooled, but it’s still packed with all the heart and soul of the original. Graphically, it’s gorgeous, and the new quests and features range from fair to fabulous. It’s one of my favorite video games in even finer form.
