With many indie games diving into the world of simulators, it's not strange to see A Shiba Story make its way onto online storefronts. The game is reminiscent of Nintendogs, an unexpected success of the 2000s.Most gamers who owned a Nintendo DS probably played Nintendogs at some point. This POV game was a big part of the simulation genre, in which players were tasked with taking care of something. Just like the Tamagotchi handheld pets before it, Nintendogs required a watered-down version of the time and effort it takes to care for a real dog, making it a perfect game for kids learning responsibility. But with the hype of Nintendogs now dead,…

Red Dead Redemption 2’s Wildlife is More Compelling Than Far Cry’s

When it comes to players exploring a living, breathing open-world game, it's hard to compare any company's franchise to Rockstar's. It's even harder to compare to its latest release Red Dead Redemption 2 with the countless amount of small details and realistic animations sprinkled throughout a large landscape.
