It’s difficult to hide the excitement that I felt when I heard of a new entry of the Science Adventure series will be making its way to the West. If I remember correctly, it was Steins;Gate that originally introduced me to the world of visual novels and made me a fan of the genre. Since

While only Logan and Tomas are on Episode 47 of DualShockers’ ShockCast this week, that didn’t stop them from talking quite a bit about one of this past month’s biggest gaming controversies – intrusive loot boxes and microtransactions in AAA games. Specifically, we mainly talk about their implementation in Middle Earth: Shadow of War and Star
If this year has taught visual novel fans anything, it’s that it’s the Year of Otome in the West. To back up this claim, Aksys Games continues to deliver some of the most requested otome visual novels month after month, and it doesn’t seem like they plan on slowing down anytime soon — not that
Upon hearing about the creation of Tokyo RPG Factory and its first project I Am Setsuna a few years back, I was excited to see Square Enix putting a studio together that would really focus on replicating and enhancing what we know of traditional JRPGs. Unfortunately, I Am Setsuna’s reception seemed to be relatively mixed for the most part,
Dynasty Warriors 9 is bringing quite a few innovations to the traditional Musou franchise; in order to know more, DualShockers had a chat with Producer Akihiro Suzuki.

My fears for Koji Igarashi’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night quickly diminished after only a few minutes of going hands-on with the game at New York Comic Con this year. Being a Kickstarter title, I initially worried that Bloodstained might’ve gone down the same road as recent titles like Mighty No. 9 did, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at
As someone who seems to be in the minority that loved 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront, the game’s sequel — Star Wars Battlefront II — has easily been one of my most anticipated games slated to release this fall. I was able to check out Battlefront II earlier this year at EA Play and came away quite impressed with the changes
It seems that the Neptunia franchise will forever be a part of our gaming lives. The series has been receiving multiple releases and spin-offs since it first launch on PlayStation 3 in 2010. Being as niche and obscure as it is, one would assume it wouldn’t make it past a sequel, but Idea Factory has
The Nintendo Switch has suffered several waves of shortages in its Japanese home turf, but lately it has settled on very solid sales, moving over 70,000 units during the last couple of weeks. Have the shortages been solved, or is the console still selling out in the archipelago of the rising sun? In order to
Dragon Ball is synonymous with anime as the series’ history has spanned through decades, and over the years that influence has expanded through numerous game series like Budokai, Budokai Tenkaichi, and the more recent Xenoverse titles. While each series has translated the super-powered fighting of Dragon Ball in some form or another, the upcoming Dragon Ball FighterZ from Arc System Works is
It’s no secret that Final Fantasy XV is a beloved title at DualShockers among both the staff and our readers, and though we are coming up on almost a year since it released after a decade plus in development, the next few months will provide even more ways to experience the grand RPG for two vastly different
One of the most interesting dilemmas faced by many software developers nowadays is “do we support the Nintendo Switch or not?” Sega is certainly in the camp of the supporters, and during a preview event at the publisher’s development headquarters in Tokyo, DualShockers had a chat with Sonic Team Head Takashi Iizuka, Sonic Forces Producer Shun
In July of 2016, American virtual reality studio Survios released its first co-op VR shooter Raw Data for the HTC Vive as an Early Access title on Steam.

Rise of the Tomb Raider has been associated with Xbox since it was announced as a timed exclusive for Microsoft’s console, so it’s not surprising that Crystal Dynamics is at the forefront of taking advantage of the power of the Xbox One X with an update supporting the console.

Over two years ago, Turn 10 Studios released Forza Motorsport 6. Many consider that title to be still the best in the Motorsport series. The latest installment has some big shoes to fill, but I am happy to say that Forza Motorsport 7 does not disappoint its star-studded lineage. Visually, Forza Motorsport 7 is alluring at
Ah, Final Fantasy IX — I never thought that in all my years of playing video games, I would be writing a review for a game that made such an impact on my life. Recently, classic titles have been given resolution upgrades to be playable on modern hardware. Sometimes upscaling is all that’s needed, but other
Over the course of my time with Cuphead, which ranged somewhere in the realm of 7-10 hours, I was both captivated by its beauty and ready to chuck my controller into a wall at some points. Cuphead, as much as its been lauded for its astonishing visuals, has also built up a reputation as an especially difficult

Yoshinori Kitase is a name that many will recognize as being the director of major titles like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy XIII. He’s also a producer for the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake. In addition to all of these roles, Kitase-san is the executive producer for Mobius Final Fantasy, a Final Fantasy game that
The concept of a Metroid game seems so odd in 2017; while the Metroid-vania genre seems booming and bustling thanks to the indie market, the series that inspired the genre hasn’t seen a notable successor in (arguably) over a decade. With more than enough frustration over the formats of Metroid: Other M and Metroid Prime: Federation Force, the 2.5D Metroid: Samus
Lost Sphear is the next title that is part of I am Setsuna developer RPG Factory’s spiritual successorship to the glorious JRPGs of old.

2014’s Ether One was the debut project for UK developer White Paper Games, who at the time was only a compact team of six. And it was a succesful debut project, one that put the studio on the map and allowed it to follow-up with another new IP: The Occupation. And if Ether One was White Paper Games getting its foot
Back in September 2016, Square Enix Collective announced that it would be publishing a 2D adventure title by Throughline Games called Forgotton Anne.
