Yakuza Kiwami 2 Review: Kiw-razy Kiw-ontent
The Yakuza revolution is soon coming to a close, in the west at least. Starting last year with Sega’s major push of Yakuza 0, we’ve seen four games from the franchise released state-side in the last two years. Last years remake of the original Yakuza, Yakuza Kiwami, didn’t set the world on fire, with the … Continue reading
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Review: Kiryu’s Kabedon
Last year was the Year of Yakuza, with Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami both releasing in the west.

Yet, even with this cast, the initial game didn’t seem to … Continue reading
Total War: Rome II Review: Et tu, Camera?
If there’s one thing the Total War series gets right, it’s strategic warfare on a near-global scale. Despite changes to the formula over the years and the need to balance the minutiae of running an empire with running across a battlefield, the series has always reliably gotten it mostly right. This sequel continues that same … Continue reading
Company of Heroes 2 Review: Spoiler – The Germans Lose
Seven years is a long time to wait for any sequel, but particularly for one to a genre-defining game such as the original Company of Heroes.
