Digimon Story Time Stranger review (PS5)
With Digimon Story Time Stranger, Media.Vision and Bandai Namco return to the RPG space with another attempt to establish Digimon as a strong alternative in the monster-taming genre. On PlayStation 5, the game immediately makes a striking impression with its premise: a story that plays with time travel, parallel worlds, and the collapse of both human and Digital realms. It sets itself apart from its rivals by leaning heavily into narrative twists and character drama, with themes of fate and connection woven throughout. While some story beats risk becoming overly complex, the ambitious writing helps give this entry a distinctive identity. Continue reading “Digimon Story Time Stranger review (PS5)”

The result is colorful, silly, and often fun… though it’s also a bit uneven once the nostalgia wears off. Continue reading “Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny review”

The story introduces a new group of characters whose lives become entangled when one of them has a premonition of a horrific accident, narrowly saving them from an early demise. Of course, as fans of the series know all too well, fate has a way of balancing the scales, and the survivors soon find themselves stalked by death itself. By tying the narrative into earlier films through generational links, Bloodlines aims to enrich the franchise’s lore. Continue reading “Final Destination: Bloodlines review (4K)”
