Stand users - those who can harness the abilities of mysterious personified psychic entities - are attracted to one another, and are certainly not limited to those friendly with the Joestar family. So, it’s about time that we are finally seeing more from this odd world of hostile psychic beings that isn’t related to a tiny cast of characters and their extended relations. Kishibe Rohan’s absurd antics make for a good way to tell those stories - and that brings me to the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, which is everything I wanted from a JoJo spin-

This is when Kishibe Rohan realises that this story, being told to him by the man himself, is impossible. He is dead. Or, should be. And that’s when he reveals that he is alive and well, because he is the same as he has always been: a cheat, with zero empathy for those around him. He used his vast wealth and his legion of servants to quite literally have someone else take his place, forever. The one that has seemingly acted as a corn magnate (sorry I cannot get over this) for years and raised his young daughter is actually a servant that has undergone plastic surgery to look like his master, and the master did the same so he could blend in amongst the servants: a trick so intricate it even had the stupid psychic Stand curse fooled. I also have no doubt that this is where Hideo Kojima gleaned Metal Gear Solid 5 ’s big twist f

The first sections of the game are pretty basic as far a WRPG shooters go with introducing the gameplay and characters, but it is still a bore and tends to drag for the first few hours. After a few more areas of the map open up and cooler guns unlock, the game starts to look more like the Borderlands fans have come to know and l

To be incredibly brief, the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is about one incredibly lucky man who deserves absolutely nothing, and tells Rohan all about it whilst sat in a confessional booth. This man meets a homeless person, then promptly treats them like garbage, putting the starving man to work, and swiftly killing them with some literally back-breaking labour. The only upside to all of this is that he is now forever cursed by an antagonistic Stand that swears to take revenge at the happiest point in the man’s l

This time, instead of a fast-paced reel full of quick cuts, this game had the advantage of having absolutely no lore around it. The bold move of putting so many of the most emotional moments out beforehand disappointed fans when they realized that those moments were the only ones in the g

The Wretcher's Blade, is another early-game monster boasting a whopping 75 damage in the Cutlass Class. Again, much like the Maelstrom, the Wretcher's Blade is one of the most ideal weapons if doing an evil playthrough of Fable

Probably the most recognizable western RPG of all time, Skyrim is something of a behemoth in the RPG world. The game’s iconic icy tundra is a welcome home to many players, including those who had their first foray into the Elder Scrolls series through Skyr

A game that is just as creepy as it was when it came out in 1999, System Shock 2 perfectly blends RPG elements with action gameplay into a survival horror sci-fi setting. If players don’t mind some rough graphics and glitches, System Shock 2 is a wild ride with an even wilder st

The first Witcher game is legendary in its own right, having kicked off one of the most beloved fantasy franchises in gaming history. The story of Geralt of Rivia is one of hardship and turmoil, exemplified by the tough choices players must make in each g

Another game that's had its fair share of development issues, Skull and Bones generated plenty of excitement for its potential appearance at Ubisoft's E3 2021 showcase, but just last month the publisher announced another delay for the project. Because of the timing of the announcement, it seems like Ubisoft wanted to get ahead of the rumors surrounding Skull and Bones ' appearance at E3 and temper expectations. The publisher has plenty of other games to talk about for its show, but it's a shame that it seems its highly anticipated pirate adventure won't be one of them. Skull and Bones has been pushed back to 2022 or 2023, so there's still much to be seen before the game finally relea

Just like Aesop’s Fables, this short, self-contained story has a powerful message, but one that Aesop could never have predicted in a world ravaged by global capitalism. The powerful abuse others, the powerful feel no empathy, and the powerful will use those around them to get what they want, even at the cost of their own happiness. But ultimately, no matter what, the powerful do not feel the brunt of their curse. They do not have to face the consequences of their actions. They just let those around them do it for them, and keep walking forward, living their life. As the man rises from the confessional booth and Xbox 360 emulator leaves the church we see the headless servant, bearing the man’s old face, crawl behind him, alongside the homeless man from years before, while the corn magnate himself strolls out, unscathed, with a face that isn’t even his
