The release of Tekken 8 is a nostalgic hit. I recall spending hours of gameplay as a kid after being absolutely blown away by the game when it first launched on PlayStation all those years ago. It delivered insane excitement and was the envy of my brother, and even now, we often reminisce about how he cheated when he could never beat me. As the reigning champ in the family, I naturally had to test my skills with the new Tekken 8.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell review
09.02.2024 - 09:48 / thesixthaxis.com
My introduction to the Momodora series came all the way back in 2016, with the fourth entry in the series – Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight. Despite jumping in at game number four, I didn’t feel lost at all – in fact, the lack of context made my journey with the game and its world even more impactful. In the time since that game, there’s been a parallel entry in the series named Minoria, but no direct sequel until now. With Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, plot threads I’m very familiar with, and ones I’ve never even experienced, all come together in a conclusion to the series that isn’t just a culmination of the biggest narrative moments, but also a delightful culmination of the best ideas and mechanics of the five games that came prior.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell sees you playing as Momo, a priestess warrior from Kaho village who sets out with her fellow priestess Cereza to investigate a sudden demon resurgence in the surrounding area. This entry has a noticeably larger focus on lore and exposition than Reverie Under The Moonlight, making the opening hours just a bit harder to parse if you haven’t played the other games. You’re provided some notes in your inventory that outline the major beats of previous games if you need some help getting filled in, and there were a few early moments that had me feeling like I was watching Avengers: Endgame as my first Marvel movie. Quickly enough, though, the stakes of your current adventure are made clear, the key characters are introduced, and it becomes a lot more thrilling to unravel the mystery that Momo has found herself thrust into.
Similarly, gameplay takes a while to get off the ground. At first, Momo has pretty limited and sluggish movement – you feel less like like a swift warrior and more like a struggling survivor, lost in unfamiliar territory. Traversal takes a long time, and backtracking takes even longer, but combat is a delight from the jump. Your melee combo is swift and reliable, and your ranged arrow attack can make the difference when fighting aggressive mobs. Slowly, things begin to take shape – you unlock a dash, and then a double jump, and eventually fast-travel. Before you know it, you’re the master of your domain, and areas that used to feel insurmountable to explore are now a breeze to glide across as you rush to your next destination.
Along the way you’ll discover a bevy of collectables that contribute to your combat prowess in different ways – Sigil cards can be collected and equipped to give you different unique attack properties, like flame arrows or gusts of wind from your melee attack. You can also collection Companions who will sometimes heal you or attack enemies or find items, and will also look adorable while doing it. But on

PlayStation Portal Review – A PS5 In Your Hands?
Firstly, let me be honest. Like 99% of gamers out there, I was convinced that the PlayStation Portal (Project Q, as it was once named) was just a clever money grab. I mean, why would players need a device that connects to their PS5 via WI-FI while they are out and about? We wanted a PS Vita 2 and not a glamourised tablet connected to a PlayStation 5 controller, right? Well, I’ll be the first to admit I was dead wrong. The PlayStation Portal is a lot more than a clever gimmick. It’s an innovative new way to play your favourite games while on the move. Let me explain.

Dicefolk Review
Dicefolk is an incredibly cool roguelike, but I don’t think it makes a great first impression. Upon booting the game up and jumping into your first run, you’re presented with the adorable art style, sure, but the first turn of combat simply presents you with some dice and three little dudes. It’s all a bit baffling, but there’s something special here once you learn what it all means.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island Review
I owe you an apology, mister Shiren the Wanderer, because I wasn’t really familiar with your game before now. Sure, I’ve played a few mystery dungeon games in my time – your Pokémon Mystery Dungeons, and your Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy!, but while I liked them, they never really got their claws into me. Even with my growing urges to play roguelikes, I never found myself a good enough reason to dip into the franchise that started it all until now, with Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island. I’m so happy I did, because it’s my new roguelike obsession, and the game that finally made mystery dungeons click for me.
