My once-in-a-blue moon post to say I got to review Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered over at Phrasemaker! I really liked it! It is very faithful to the original to a fault, but it’s genuinely refreshing to get a game that doesn’t ask for much of your time. thephrasemaker.com/2026/10/01/d...

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Review

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered won’t make you love the game if you hated the original, but it is a great way to experience it all the same.

Romeo is a Dead Man reviews are all over the place, and that absolutely tracks. It's filled to the brim with odd moments and decisions. It's fun enough, but its frenetic and bewildering narrative choices made it hard to parse and difficult to score. More from me: www.thegamer.com/romeo-is-a-d...
