As a high-fantasy fan and long-time devotee of the Atelier series, I’ve been thrilled by the recent uptick in alchemy-related games in the past few years. Classic fantasy meeting the wonders of chemistry wrapped up in a crafting-sim package will never fail to make my day. As such, taking a look at Alchemist Simulator on …
I really love Creature RPGs. I guess it’s mostly because I love collecting; completing a list of items is something I’ll always love to do; it’s just so damn satisfying! Knowing this, I should also say I love Pokémon, the largest and most successful Creature RPG saga you’ll find out there (Get wrecked, Digimon!). But …

For the longest time, Harvest Moon was the only farming game on the block. It was the only series in which players could experience a laid-back farming lifestyle, marry the person of their dreams, and start a family.

One of the reasons I love indie games so much is the sheer variety that they offer. Sure, some games are blatant rip-offs of others, but a lot of the time, they introduce entirely new concepts. When I saw that Planet of Lana had been added to Xbox Game Pass, I was eager to try it …
