Persona 5 Royal (PlayStation 4) Review
Persona 5 was the first time I truly jumped into any of the Shin Megami Tensei games.

Upon reviewing Persona 5 on release, I sank almost 100 hours into it and vowed to finish the game one day. It wasn’t long before an expanded release known as Persona 5 Royal was...[Read More]

Streets of Rage 4 (PS4) Review
