Monster Hunter Rise

When Monster Hunter Rise was announced for Nintendo Switch, everyone became hyped about it. It became so much of a spotlight that on the launch day itself, some companies decided to make it a holiday and let people off work so they could enjoy a marathon of monster hunting.

But let’s face it, Monster Hunter is just another cycle of beating up behemoths, crafting cool weapons and armor from their materials, and then rinse and repeat. So why are we still so hyped about it?

Why Animal Crossing: New Horizons Took the World by Storm

Almost every Nintendo Switch user (and soon-to-be-user) of every age and background can’t help love this game. But why did the game become so popular to the point that even the most hardcore gamers pick such a slow-paced game?

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX

I’ve always been a big fan of dungeon rpg games, and I never cease to get addicted to exploring randomly generated floors and playing in a pseudo-turn-based system.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a nostalgic and refreshing remake of the classic Mystery Dungeon series, Red and Blue Rescue Team. Now more bright and colorful, Mystery Dungeon DX is another great adventure to old and new players alike.

Pokemon Sword/Shield: The Hype & Hate

Pokemon Sword & Shield was filled with hype, hate and a clear split among the Pokemon community. There are people who attack it for having little improvement in graphical context, clonky game features, and the greatest of all, the “Dexit”—aka the decision to not include national pokedex in the game. There are people who also defend the game for having more “quality of life” improvement features such as the “wild area”, a somewhat unique story, and Grookey! (no joke)

There And Back Again

I have returned!! Two Cents is alive again!

First of all, I apologize that I haven’t written new entries since the very beginning of 2019. The main reason was that I focused more on my studies, for I am on my graduating year. For the first six months, I literally shut down some extracurricular activities to focus more on finishing my final year as a college student.

Gacha Spotlight: Dragalia Lost

  Gacha has been a popular aspect in gaming especially in mobile gadgets. The thrill of trying your luck and hoping to draw the best character waifu in your account is always there. While there’s already a lineup of amazing gacha games out there, suddenly Nintendo and Cygames–an already popular Japanese game developer–decided to team up to make a next level game, and that is Dragalia Lost. Combining the all-favorite gameplay aspects of Nintendo and the gacha reputation of Cygames made Dragalia Lost one of the most hyped mobile games out there.

Detective Pikachu

Are you a fan of being a detective like Sherlock Holmes, but you ended up being a Pokémon Trainer? Do you sometimes wish that you can have a Pikachu who is just as talkative as Meowth in the anime? Is being the greatest Pokémon Trainer in the whole region becoming tiring? Then Detective Pikachu is for you!!

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon!

Ever since the release of Pokemon Sun/Moon, I was ever amazed by the breathtaking scenery of the Alola Region. Following the tradition of an alternate story like that of Pokemon Crystal & Platinum, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon focuses more on the alternate story set in the the same world, thus immersing you into a deeper story than Sun/Moon.
