Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is a bit of an anomaly compared to other Dragon Ball games on the market right now like Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ. Whereas those games are hands-on fighters, World Mission is a turn-based card game that still maintains the speed longtime fans of Dragon Ball expect from the series. While the game does suffer in some aspects due to the transition

Three years later, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild remains one of the best-looking games on Nintendo Switch.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice by developers Ninja Theory is one of 2017’s most compelling and in-depth titles scoring high praise all across the gaming spectrum.

The Messenger is one of my favorite games from last year as it is so cleverly designed both from a gameplay and story standpoint.
