Class of Heroes 3 Remastered – Switch Review

Dungeon crawlers are an acquired taste, but sometimes the allure of a long-lost Japanese gem is too tempting to ignore. Class of Heroes 3 Remaster, developed by Acquire Corp and published in the West by PQube, is one of those titles.

Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut – Switch 2 Review

As one of the final entries in the Kiryu timeline, Yakuza 0 is an almost perfect refinement of the long-running series. The original was a breakout hit in the West and began a march of remasters. All were well received, both critically and commercially. Now, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut lands on the Switch 2, with some subtly reworked graphics and additional cutscenes that connect it back to the current timeline. Can Kiryu unleash the beast one last time? Or is it a trip back to the dojo? Let’s find out! Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Dragged Me Back In (to the karaoke bar). As a long-time Sega stan, I regard the Yakuza series as the missing link to the Dreamcast era of the early 2000s. While the console flopped, the company went out in a blaze of extravagant, surrealistic glory. Titl...
