Silent Hope – PC Review

My wife peaked over my shoulder to see that the cow and chicken seemed familiar to her. When I told her that was the old Harvest Moon chicken and cow, she also pointed out something else. She saw Rune Factory in the gameplay and asked about if it had a romance option. I told her and she looked at me like it was my fault. Silent Hope is an Action Hack and Slash RPG that was developed by Marvelous and published by XSEED Games. It felt like they were keeping this game under wraps since there was never any mention of the game. The game's initial release was Oct. 3rd and available on the Nintendo Switch and Steam. There aren't many details that I can find about the production of Silent Hope or any issues when it started. For all of the silence in this game, I'm amazed there isn't a hill...

Moonstone Island – PC Review

Moonstone Island is a Monster Catching, Card Battler, Farming Sim. Developed by Studio Supersoft and published by Raw Fury. Being Studio Supersoft’s first project, I know that they knocked this one out of the park. There was a rocky start for the crew at Studio Supersoft where people were trying to scam others on Discord. By either asking for information to get an early copy of the game or just giving them a download code. Doing this would cause major issues for those users like getting their accounts hacked. Luckily, the issue was resolved by notifying the public on Twitter and Reddit about the situation as soon as possible. They made sure no one was tricked by those scammers. It’s available on Steam and will have a Nintendo Switch port at a later date. Giving us a game that not only...
