NieR Replicant ver. 1.22 Review: 'An excellent spin on the traditional hero's journey'

NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139… is a strange game, and not just because of the name. It’s part remaster, part remake, and is kind of a completely new release, at least outside of Japan. It’s a vastly enhanced version of the cult classic which spawned the immensely popular Nier: Automata, which didn’t get a fair shake upon its original release. While it’s undoubtedly because of Nier: Automata’s success that this remaster was bankrolled, Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 doesn’t rest in that game’s sha

Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 Fish Locations and Baits: How to catch Sandfish and Blue Marlin

Fishing in Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 is a bit more complicated than it seems at first. Each fishing location has its own species, and each of these prefers certain baits. To successfully complete The Fisherman’s Gambit side quests, players will need to catch most of the available species of fish, including the elusive Sandfish and Blue Marlin. How to fish in Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 Fishing seems easy enough in Nier Replicant. Players can get a fishing rod from the old man in Seafront as part o

Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 Boar Hunt: How to kill the boar and get its tusk

One of the first side quests players can undertake in Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 is the Boar Hunt. This mission tasks Nier with killing a giant boar and taking its tusk. It might seem like a run-of-the-mill quest, but the reward for completing it is the ability to ride a boar in several areas, which is vastly quicker than running on foot. How do you kill the boar in Nier Replicant? Players can undertake the Boar Hunt side quest very early on in Nier Replicant. The catch is that they’re likely no

Nier Replicant ver. 1.22: Is there fast travel?

Most players will wonder whether Nier Replicant ver. 1.22 has fast travel or not. After several hours of running around, it begins seeming like there must be a way to quickly return to locations Nier has previously visited. After all, fast travel is a staple of open-world games, so it would make sense that Nier Replicant has it. Nier Replicant does have fast travel, but it doesn’t unlock until halfway through the game. Unlocking the ability to fast travel is part of the main story, so players c

What was the first fully 64-bit compatible version of Android OS?

It’s hard to believe, but when Android OS launched, it was a 32-bit operating system. It took quite a few major updates before Android OS supported 64-bit CPUs, and even now, support for 32-bit CPUs hasn’t been completely dropped. Read on below to find out more about what the first fully 64-bit compatible version of Android was. What was the first version of Android to support 64-bit CPUs?

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster gives the classic JRPG a new voice

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne was the first game in the series to make it out of Japan. As such, it’s many a longtime fans’ first experience with the franchise. For these individuals, the upcoming HD Remaster will be very familiar (albeit with some added content and QoL improvements). The Nocturne HD Remaster is a good entry point for Shin Megami Tensei and is the game’s definitive edition. It features the ability to play the original game, or play the Maniax (which features Dante from Devil

Why are there vampires and werewolves in Resident Evil: Village?

Despite its often shaky and frequently retconned nature, I’m a big fan of Resident Evil’s lore. Though the games are full of impossible, nightmarish, fantastical creatures, Capcom has always crafted a backstory that tried to present a scientific explanation for them. Despite sometimes sharing similarities to beasts from other works, the BOWs of RE had original enough designs that they didn’t evoke any specific mythology (minus the zombies). That’s why Resident Evil: Village’s vampires and werewo

Can you connect the Oculus Quest 2 to a TV?

The Oculus Quest 2 is powerful enough to run games entirely on the headset. However, this makes it confusing when a user wants to connect the Oculus Quest 2 to a TV and share gameplay with friends and family.

SaGa Frontier Remastered Review: 'More Elder Scrolls than Final Fantasy'

The release of SaGa Frontier Remastered is a pleasant surprise. Upon its original release in March 1998, many players in the US didn’t know what to make of it. Its Free Scenario System combined pseudo-open world gameplay with JRPG standards to make a title that was ahead of its time in many ways. In retrospect, SaGa Frontier brought more innovation than it was given credit for, and it’s great to get a chance to play it in this enhanced form. This remaster is a bit more than standard fair.

The Resident Evil Village limited-time demo is confusing, terrible marketing

During the Resident Evil Village Showcase April 2021 stream, the previously leaked gameplay demo was announced. I have an unabashed love for Resident Evil, so I was on a hair-trigger leading up to the showcase. Capcom did an excellent job with the Beginning Hour demo for RE7, and I hoped we’d see something similar with Resident Evil Village. I wasn’t a huge fan of the limited nature of the Resident Evil 2 one-shot demo. I thought Capcom had listened to the poor fan reaction to the time limit whe
