Indie Interview: Ben Archer of Bishop Games on Light Fall

TechRaptor first had the chance to play Bishop Games' game Light Fall at PAX South 2018. Alex was so impressed by it that it even made it onto his top ten best games at PAX South list. This is when Light Fall first caught my eye. A simplistic looking puzzle platformer with the ability to create your own platform. It's a mechanic we've seen before, in Mega Man with the items or Plague of Shadows with his vats, but it's never been the core mechanic until now.

Secret of Mana Review - Classic At Its Core

Secret of Mana is the recently released remake of the 1993 classic SNES JRPG of the same name. Back in the 1990's, I was very much a Sega fangirl. I missed out on a lot of the games which are now considered classics on the SNES. All of this meant that I have been excited since its announcement and a chance to play a game I have missed out on for 25 years. The remake updates the graphics, the soundtrack and even adds additional cutscenes. Has this new iteration improved upon the classic formula?

Yakuza 6 Takes The Open World Brawler Back to Basics

Back in 2015, I got my hands on Yakuza 5. I was already living in Japan at that time, so it was delightful to see the series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu running around the streets of my city Fukuoka. But that isn't all Yakuza 5 has to offer. I played as Taiga Saejima hunting in a small Hokkaido village. As Haruka Sakamura I tried to become a pop idol on the streets of Osaka. I batted my way through the tough side of Nagoya as new character Tatsuo Shinada. The scope of Yakuza 5 is enormous. In 40 ho

The History of Otome and the Ruby Team Legacy

The Nintendo eshop can be a lawless and bewildering terrain. Updated with seemingly dozens of games every week, it can be hard to wade through the smorgasbord of software to find your chosen gem. Then you see a handful of games adorned with screenshots of androgynous beanpole boys, and titles as convoluted as they are befuddling; Ayakashi Koi Gikyoku - Forbidden Romance with Mysterious Spirit or Destiny's Princess: A War Story, A Love Story for example, and you might really start to question Nin

PlayStation Vita Recommends – Rogue-Like

A genre not for the faint of heart, rogue-likes (or rogue-lites) can be absolutely brutal, sending you all the way back to the beginning if you dare to make a mistake. However, the focus on skill is what makes this genre of gaming so desirable for many, and the random generation makes them infinitely replayable. Which ones are the best from our beloved platform?

While this is no means the definitive version of the game, The Binding of Isaac is and possibly always will be one of the greatest exa

Lesbian love syndrome: a history of Yuri and lesbian romance in gaming

No matter who you are, and no matter your gender or sexuality, you can experience your own elicit lesbian love affair through the magic of games. Whether you stirred your beans with Sera in Dragon Age: Inquisition, slipped Samantha Traynor the tongue in Mass Effect 3, or boogied with any of the bisexual ladies in Fable, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, or Fallout 4, many of us have taken the opportunity to flirt with a feminine fling.

However, we often think of explicit sexual relationships between w

What Microsoft Purchasing Mojang Might Mean For Minecraft Fans

Microsoft has just purchased Mojang, creator of a little known game called Minecraft, for a cool $2.5 billion, and already the internet is freaking out. When dealing with a fanbase as loyal as Minecraft’s, it’s certainly difficult to come in and make new changes without upsetting people. The game which was developed to please Markus “Notch” Persson more than anyone else, has proven not to be the flash in the pan people originally thought it could be, and with its worldwide popularity and appeal,
